Confucianism and West African Cultures

Both the West African and Confucianism cultures lived lifestyles that were similar to each other. West African and Confucist cultures both respected their elder. Their lifestyle focused on respecting their elders for their wisdom and more. On the other hand, West African people relied on families to decide the laws. Every family had their own set of laws that were special for that tribe only. Chinese people relied on their ruler to set their laws. This title of emperor was passed down by blood relationship (this was called a dynasty). Overall, the West African and Confucist cultures were both different, yet the same.
