Question

When does Ubuntu stop being Ubuntu and become personal gain and marginalise others?

Answer 1

Ubuntu stops being Ubuntu and becomes personal gain and marginalizing others when the actions in place: benefit an individual at the expense of a community, cause disrespect to a party, are divisive or do not focus on conciliation and do not promote distribution of wealth. This is because the concept of Ubuntu's fundamental elements include: humanity, respect, communalism, inclusivity and conciliation. Under the Ubuntu philosophy, the community is more important than an individual and personal behavior is governed by ability to reason within the community context.
