SECTION 1
Short Answer Questions (20 Marks)
1.1 Ubuntu in Your Community
Ubuntu is the foundation of our community’s spirit, where people believe in unity, kindness, and
shared responsibility. In my neighborhood, when a family faces hardship like losing a loved one,
neighbors gather to support them emotionally and financially, without expecting anything in return.
This shows how Ubuntu promotes compassion and interconnectedness.
Another example is how food is shared; if someone cooks a large meal, they distribute portions to
those who may need it, reflecting the idea that “a person is a person through other people.” Ubuntu
ensures that people don’t just survive individually but thrive together by uplifting one another.
1.2 Making Peace After Disagreement
Conflict is inevitable, but Ubuntu teaches us the value of reconciliation. I recall a disagreement
between two local business owners about customer competition. Tensions grew, but the elders
intervened, urging them to resolve the matter through dialogue. They gathered in a communal
space, discussed their grievances openly, and reached a fair solution where both benefited.
