Rastafari is an Abrahamic belief which developed in Jamaica in the 1930s, following the coronation of Haile Selassie I as Emperor of Ethiopia in 1930. Its adherents worship him in much the same way as Jesus in his Second Advent, or as God the Son.

A religion with deep political convictions, Rastafarianism began in the slums of Jamaica in the 1920s and 30s. African religious tradition has heavily influenced the culture of Rastafarianism and biblical themes have heavily influenced the religion's belief system. The most famous Rastafari is arguably Bob Marley, whose reggae music gained the Jamaican movement international recognition.

There is no formal, organized leadership in Rastafarianism, creating a wide variety of spiritual and moral variation within the religion. Some Rastafarians see Rasta more as a way of life, and others see it more as a religion. Nevertheless, uniting the diversity within the movement is belief in the divinity and/or messiahship of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, the influence of Jamaican culture, resistance of oppression, and pride in African heritage.

The Rastafarian lifestyle usually includes ritual use of marijuana, avoidance of alcohol, the wearing of one's hair in dreadlocks, and vegetarianism.

MICHAEL Manley was born on December 10, 1924. Yesterday marked 90 years since this second son of Norman and Edna Manley (nee Swithenbank) was born at the Nuttall Hospital in Cross Roads in St Andrew. In my opinion, Michael Manley was the print-out of his father Norman Washington Manley. This is not to say that their personalities were the same. Far from it! Norman Manley was almost a recluse in terms of his personality. And his elder son, Douglas, seemed to have inherited some of those traits. Michael Manley, however, was outgoing and charismatic.

I have never advocated that Michael Manley be made a national hero. Indeed, I think that the honour that he received is as far as it should go in my lifetime — Order of Merit. I believe that it should wait for 50 years for another generation to objectively decide these things far away from the emotions of the moment. Too many persons are still alive who adored the ground he walked on, and are therefore not objective.

And there are too many people still around who hate the very mention of the surname Manley, as can be witnessed in the Jamaica Observer online every time I mention the name — whichever Manley is mentioned. They, too, are far from objective. In addition, we may get into this business of partisan political balance and the list may go on and on and on. If one person from one 'side' is made a national hero, then why not that person from the other 'side' until the entire thing becomes ridiculous.http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/columns/Michael-Manley-s-90th-anniversary--Is-he-a-hero-in-waiting_18083714
