Question

Introduce your topic, by discussing, “What does it mean to you, to be an African? Would you still be African if you didn’t practice Ubuntu and communal living?”Explain in detail. 

Answer 1

MEANING OF BEING AN AFRICAN

Being African means being a unique person who is also a part of a larger whole. It means focusing on the difficulties facing our continent while celebrating our variety in a way that encourages empathy. While doing so, I continue to prioritize the struggle of my own country. Being African entails a high level of complexity.

HOW TO BE AN AFRICAN BY NOT PRACTISING UBUNTU AND COMMUNAL LIVING.

Even if one does not practice Ubuntu or communal living, he or she can still be considered an African because humans develop these traits when they socialize and communicate.

Ubuntu promotes positivism and fairness through interaction based on humility and multicultural sensitivity. As a result, we can observe how Ubuntu's diversity strengthens and changes the fundamental individual desire to speak truthfully.

The various linked moral, ethical, and ideological boundaries of culture are seen through the lens of Ubuntu, which places the human being first. It lies within the heart, ignoring cultural barriers and going beyond cultural attitudes and ideals. Another instance of Ubuntu is given to show its effects both within and outside of the African culture.
