When we talk about African culture and Tradition, we don't assume that all African societies have the same explanations for events, speak the same language, dress the same way, and so on. Rather, many African communities share fundamental characteristics that, when compared to other cultures, suggest a significant distinction.
2. African Culture and Tradition
When we talk about African culture and
Tradition, we don't assume that all
African societies have the same
explanations for events, speak the same
language, dress the same way, and so
on. Rather, many African communities
share fundamental characteristics that,
when compared to other cultures,
suggest a significant distinction.
3. Before we can assess African culture and Tradition, we
must first comprehend the idea of culture and its
significance. This will assist us in dealing with the
challenges we will be discussing in this paper. Let us now
consider the concept and meaning of culture, which is
critical to our understanding of African culture.
INTRODUCTION
4. THE PLACE OF VALUES IN
AFRICAN CULTURE
A thing's value, whether it's an object or a
belief, is usually defined as its worth. Our
opinions about what is right or wrong are
worth holding in the same way that an
object is regarded to be of high value and
is loved. A value can be defined as a belief
or point of view that we can live with, live
by, and even die for. As a result, it
appears that values pervade every area
of human life.
5. We want to apply what we've learned about the concept and
meaning of culture, as well as the role of values in culture, to
the African environment. A culture is the manifestation of
many different ideals, all of which are intertwined. As a
result, one can legitimately discuss a culture's social, moral,
religious, political, artistic, and even economic values. Let us
now examine these principles one by one in order to gain a
better grasp of how they manifest in African culture and the
weight they carry.
