Motivate your answer with suitable examples
Ubuntu simply means the essence of being human. It speaks more of humanness
gentleness, hospitality, putting your needs on hold and caring about someone else, it also
means letting go of grudges and a willingness to accept others as they are and respect ones
opinion. Where ubuntu is concerned there’s laughter, joy and happiness as people work
together for the common goal.
Ubuntu is a concept that means personhood. Personhood is to take care of others without
any preferences. Furthermore, it is humility, respect, kindness and being motivated to get
involved in human activities. Furthermore, being responsible and assertive.
According to the African perspective, Ubuntu informs the policies that affect education,
economics, politics and social practices of a people. One can say Ubuntu is central to the
importance of showing personhood.
The proverbs for example embody the cultural and social practices that reflect personhood
of a people. Ubuntu is found mostly in belief systems in relation to the practices of people in
their life cycle from birth, bringing up, adult life and death practices.
For example, work parties show that people have love of helping others and are empowered
by their societies with the skill to produce food for themselves in a community. Further
contemporary examples include stokvels.
