"AFRAKAN VS. EUROPEAN WORLDVIEW"


  

          

As to start with an overly simplistic outline from which to build upon, I deemed it necessary to re-post this chart of basic differences between the underlying cultural core/worldview of the Afrakan and European. This is a foundational map from which further cultural nuisances can emanate. The English and Italian like the Zulu and Akan possess differences between each other but one can find a similar orientation that they share towards defining the world (conceptual system).

Afrakan vs. European

Basic Assumptions/Cosmological view:

Natural Order vs Natural Chaos

Complementarity vs Opposing Opposites

Philosophical Orientation:

Spiritualism vs Materialism

Collectivism vs.Individualism

Cultural Focus:

Culture optimal For Each specific Group vs One's own culture is optimal for every other group

Psychological Model :

Cultural Context of Behavior vs Individual Behavior

Cultural Differences In Psychological Functioning vs Western Psychological Functioning as Standard

Holistic/internal (self-knowledge) vs Empiricism/External



"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
