I like the word ubuntu ‘i am because we are’.people today should be reminded of this concept because they have lost their true sense of being .our education system makes us to think like whites and forget about our moral virtues.we as black we are grounde beings people who have knowledge of what it means to be a person

I think the world would be a better place with more people like you.our education system fills the mind with only kwowledge and not the true sense of being,it should not make us to earn a living but also to be responsible citezens with good moral values.

i am a Ghanaian,i happen to have an organization that is trying to champion positive education in the entire country.
you will shock the kind of questions this our so called political leaders ask when ever the youth is trying to do something positive,they ask questions like they are talking to their wifes.some times i cry for the young once cos the education in Africa is not the best for the future leaders of Africa.what can we do to change it?if you have an idea please share it with me.i really appreciate everything about this page
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Senyo.

Absolutely. This is a hugely important but often ignored aspect of the argument entire. We do not value the earth in our daily lives because we have become terribly separated from her both physically and philosophically. Global Warming should act merely as a carrot designed to attract peoples attention to the real issue – that of our continued disrespectful relationship with the earth. It amounts to a huge loss in the story of the Human Experience. Repairing that relationship so that we can reap the rewards is the true goal of any environmental movement. Teaching our children about the greatness of the earth and their place within that greatness is an important fundamental step in building a way of life that celebrates and respects her.

Very good post. You might be interested in reading some work of Fethullah Gulen. I’ve read his book “Towards a Civilization of Love & Tolerance”. This might be a good start: http://www.loveandtolerance.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=10&id=25&Itemid=70

I’m not a Muslim btw, I just really like his holistic vision on things.

Dumisani-
There are thousands and thousands of American technology workers that use the word “ubuntu” every day in relation to a particular version of collaborative open-source software. I bet very few of them have ever thought about the word’s origin, or why it was chosen for that name.

Thanks for this!
