confucianism....west africa....the same :)


The roles of family in Confucianism and West African culture are very similar. The families in both helped build a foundation for the culture's growth. Confucianism grew as China grew, and West African cultures grew as West Africa became more powerful and popular. In Confucianism, families and older generations were highly respected. Older generations, especially, had knowledge that the younger generations learned. In this prospect, the elders were highly respected for what they knew and could teach. This was also very similar in West African cultures. Families respected each other and helped each other in their rough times. Older generations were had high positions in teaching and giving people rights. The people of both cultures respected each other and were very grateful for the elders in their midst.
