When we hear the word 'civilization', the first thing that comes to our mind is the name of a country like America or China and when we hear the opposite word, we think of Africa first. A long time ago I saw a video where a picture was shown to some small children. The picture shows three children, two white and one black. After showing the picture, the children are asked who is the naughtiest child here.
Surprisingly, the white children who took part in the test, as well as the black children, point to the black child in the picture. The reason is very simple, it has made us think since childhood that Africans are the most uncivilized people. Well, what is the definition of civilization? Formal dress, handshake, western food is civilization? If so, let's take a look at how Africans, the most uncivilized people, define civilization!
Ubuntu:
Once a photojournalist in Africa placed a bunch of mangoes in front of a group of boys and told them to run from the other side. The one who comes first will get the biggest mango. But what did the boys do! Dipu ran together like number two. The journalist was shocked and asked him to run again. Same thing again. After a few such incidents, when journalists asked why, they said, "Ubuntu." Ubuntu is a neon Bantu language word. It means ‘unity for humanity’. Africa, General Knowledge
Strange justice system
When someone commits a crime in a remote village in Africa, he has to go through a strange trial. The culprit is taken to an open field and surrounded by everyone else in the village. One by one the villagers started talking about all the good deeds done by that criminal till date. After hearing all, it was decided what punishment would be given to him.
Recycling of slaves
There is a tribe called Dasanakh in Africa who are famous for their recycling. This tribe assembles their bottle caps and makes all the eye-catching ornaments of color.
Hard work
Africa lags far behind other countries in all aspects of education and information technology. In addition, the climate and climate of the continent is difficult to survive, which is why Africans have to work hard to survive from a very young age. In addition, due to various difficult rules and regulations, they become very tolerant from an early age.
Africans do whatever they want
Preserving culture
One of the most heard words in the world today is 'cultural aggression', which means mixing the culture of one's own country with the culture of another country to create a kind of mess. Africans have a very old culture of their own which is very different from other countries, their dress, manners, walks, in a word everything.
Africa, General Knowledge
There are over 3000 tribes here. Who have over 2000 languages and cultures of their own. After so many years, like any other country, no kind of 'cultural aggression' has touched the culture of Africa.
Do your own thing
Regardless of age, Africans do whatever they want. Even the variety of clothes and jewelry that they wear, they make with their own hands.
You must judge a man by the work of his hands.
Friendliness
Africans are friendly towards their natives and tourists, which is why tourists are also interested in Africa. They invite tourists to Africa not just as a tourist but as a friend.
A man who pays respect to the great paves the way for his own greatness
Positive thinking
"Don't look where you fell, but where you slipped."
"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for something."
"The lizard that jumped from the high Iroko tree to the ground said he would praise himself if no one else did."
"The sun will shine on those who stand before it shines on those who kneel under them."
"When a man says yes, his chi (personal god) says yes too."
Some of these African proverbs are indicative of the positive thinking of Africans.
Wouldn't you still call Africans a civilized nation? Many have become as civilized as Europeans, now let's not be as civilized as Africans!
