4. What is the difference between the tribal and folk cultures in any given culture? Discuss with case studies.

Tribal and folk cultures are two distinct cultural groups within a given society, each with their unique set of customs, beliefs, and practices. While both tribal and folk cultures share similarities in their traditional ways of life, there are some notable differences between the two. 

Tribal cultures are often characterized by a strong sense of community and a shared identity based on kinship and ancestry. They are typically more isolated and have a more distinct cultural identity than folk cultures. Tribes have their languages, customs, and traditions, which are often distinct from the dominant culture. Tribes also often have a formalized system of governance and leadership, with a chief or council that oversees the community's affairs.Tribal cultures are usually characterized by a strong sense of community and a shared identity based on kinship and ancestry
