Confucianism...West Africa?














The roles of families and/or families of older generations in Confucianism are to pass down the teachings of Confucianism. Education can be received by books or interaction with wise people. People of Confucianism had respect family and older generations. They also educated individuals and the society. Confucianism greatly influenced the Chinese life with principals to direct the Confucianism believers in the right direction.

The West African society could travel in kinship groups, and the clans can then travel in bigger groups called clans. These people may had to respect their elderly and family. They also had storytellers called griots, and these music or stories told the culture of West Africa and the society of life. Many rulers of Ghana converted to Islam, therefore losing his claim to the throne. Many of these Ghana rulers believed that other people should have a belief in Islam. Still, Islam strongly influenced Ghana rulers.

your post is very different from the other ones I've read! It not only points out the fact that they both respect family and older generations, but also that they both had an influence on each other! that can explain why they are similar. Also, you went in depth of the basic facts. Niceee.
