QUESTION 1
1.1 The Concept of Ubuntu
Ubuntu is an African philosophy that emphasizes
communal values such as compassion, humanity,
and interconnectedness. It originates from the Nguni
phrase "Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu," meaning
"A person is a person through other people."
This philosophy highlights the importance of
relationships and collective well-being rather than
individualism.
My culture embraces Ubuntu as it encourages
mutual support and respect. Examples from daily life
include:
Helping neighbours in need: If someone in the
community has a funeral, wedding, or other
major event, neighbours contribute food and
labour.
