AFRICAN WAYS OF LIVING
''Africa is a continent with a diverse range of cultures and ways of living, so it is difficult to make generalizations about "African ways of living." However, there are some commonalities that can be observed across many African cultures.''

''One key aspect of many African ways of living is a strong sense of community. In many African cultures, people live in extended families or tight-knit communities where everyone knows each other and supports each other. This sense of community is often reflected in the way that people work together on tasks like farming, building homes, and caring for children and elders.''

''Another important aspect of many African cultures is a deep respect for tradition and elders. In many African societies, elders are seen as the keepers of wisdom and are highly respected. Traditional practices and customs are also often valued and passed down from generation to generation.  'Do we still stand to defend these norms? There is a growing belief by these African elders based in rural areas that the educational directions that their children are taking are killing the cultural beliefs and practices despite the fact that its important. We wont decline the need for education but rather stand to hold our norms than drive off towards the directions that we are being forced imto.
