Abstract

The life cycle is considered the framework through which individuals transfer and transform into the different age stages, starting from birth, childhood, and adulthood or maturity, then marriage and elderliness, which ends with death as the inevitable end of this cycle which is repeated permanently and regularly for humans. The study seeks identifying the life cycle habits and the concern in popular habits. This interest is represented in the knowledge of folkloric and sociological studies, since these studies are concerned with studying human societies which are very similar to the growth and development of the life of the leader, as he goes throw three stages, childhood, youth, and elderliness. These stages are consistent with that we call the life cycle of a person that includes (birth, youth and death). The study observed and monitored the life cycle's habits and and their nature , and identified all the changes and shifts that led to developing the format of values in the Sinai community. The researcher has applied the approved descriptive approach to study the case as the prepared a case study on a number of sawarka tribe members in north Sinai, and she used the tools of case studies and deep interviews with some of sawarka tribe members to from a study sample of 25 individuals from sawarka tribe, males and females.
The results of the study have reached the conclusion that the tribe majority don't use nicknames to call their children, that the marriage registrar issues marriage contracts , not the sheikh nor chieftain ; leader of the tribe , and that pregnant women don't participate in visiting graves. Study recommendations are to pay more more attention to shifts and changes that led to developing the format of values in the Sinai community and the necessity of going deep into studying the life cycle's habits because they are an important and obvious indicator that reflects the reality we live.
