The Imperatives and Challenges of Passing on the Tenets of Ubuntu to the Younger Generation
Abstract
This chapter provides some of the challenges and difficulties that parents face in trying to pass salient features of the African concept of Ubuntu to their children. It starts by presenting a plausible definition of Ubuntu, followed by some learning theories that explain ways by which some people learn new concepts. Additionally, some folklore stories are included in the chapter to illustrate favorite methods used by grandparents for teaching some valuable life lessons to their grandchildren. An attempt is made towards the end of the chapter to summarize some of the things that can be done to facilitate the means by which displaced and fragmented families can still pass on Ubuntu to their offspring.
