“Ethnocentrism refers to judging other people from within one’s own cultural

al., 2019).

3) (a), (c) and (d)

The “spiritual principle” represents a soul that can never perish (Burke, et al., 2019). Therefore,

“According to African Traditional Religion there is a powerful being which supersede all of us”
(Burke, et al., 2019, p. 25).
“It is believed that the ancestors play a crucial role in people’s lives by communicating with God on
behalf of the living” (Burke, et al., 2019, p. 25).
