    african traditions book report

    I’m doing my book report on a book called Zoo City by Lauren Beukes. "Zoo City" is the nickname given to the Johannesburg suburb of Hillbrow in the novel, which is home to Zinzi December and many other animalled people, as well as refugees and the dispossessed. Being animalled is described in the novel as an automatic consequence – not just in South Africa, but for all humans worldwide – of bearing a significant amount of guilt. The distinction between moral and legal culpability is unclear, as is the threshold which triggers animalling; however, being responsible for the death of another human is a definite trigger.…

    When Cultures Collide By Cosmas U. Nwokeafor

    Cultural diversity is a reality and here to stay, it will not vanish overnight. People do things and think differently in diverse parts of the continents. In the same context, bringing up African children in foreign nations is not easy as the children face cultural shock (Nwokeafor, 2008). The parents or guardians must develop strategies that bring out mutual understanding between the children and the host culture. Surveys have indicated that people originating from diverse…

    Worship In The Osun-Osogbo Religion

    The clips highlight the inherent human desire to worship a greater power. Each religion represented depicts a form of worship being offered to a god-like figure. Within many religions, the belief that one must cleanse themselves of evil or negativity in order to worship a god is prevalent. One of the religions represented in the PBS clips was the Osun-Osogbo faith. This system of belief centers upon the worship of the Osun river goddess, who appeared to a group of settlers over several hundred years ago and promised to protect them and make them prosperous if they offered up sacrifices to her annually. Through their faith and sacrifice, the followers of this religion believe that the river goddess will cleanse their towns and cities from evil…

    Sub-Saharan African Religion

    During the period 1450 CE to 1750 CE, many changes and continuities can be seen to have happened in the religious beliefs and practices in Sub-Saharan Africa, located in the Atlantic Region and the Indian Ocean Region. Sub-Saharan Africa went through many cultural reforms from 1450 CE to 1750 CE, there were changes like an increase in religions, Christianity and Islam, and the balancing of polygamy because of the distorted gender ratios due to the slave trade. Although continuities seen were that the practice of traditional animism continued, the firm influence of Islam continued, and liberal roles of women.…

World War 1, World War 2, The Great Depression, the Cold War, were many major historical events that were taking place at the time that changed the worlds view on just about everything.

    Igbo Religion In Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart

    Until the arrival of the European missionaries, nobody, including Okonkwo, has ever learned about or considered another religion. It is Igbo tradition to always trust in and never question the culture, because thinking otherwise would be disrespecting their gods. The arrival of the white man and his new faith is a rude awakening to many, questioning everything the villagers have ever believed in. Though many members of the clan are completely unmoved by the teachings of Christianity, some people, including Okonkwo’s firstborn son, find it intriguing. In Chinua Achebe’s great African novel, Things Fall Apart, the importance of upholding tradition is challenged by a modern religion, which ultimately leads to the conversion of Okonkwo’s son, Nwoye.…

    BEHAVIOURAL APPROACH OR THE SOCIAL SCIENCE MOVEMENT

    Due to the fact that the classical and human relation approaches ignored the impact of social relations and of formal structure respectively, the behavioural perspective fused these approaches and added propositions drawn from psychology, sociology, political science, and economics. Such an approach differs from other behavioural sciences in its subject matter; worker behaviour in formal organizations.…
