Those of you who do not participate will do another Webquest. See syllabus for dates. A chapter in their book is devoted to a discussion of Ubuntu, an African philosophy of humanity and the appreciation of diversity. Ubuntu is really a way of life that celebrates humanity through an appreciation of human diversity. It is also a sense of oneness.
Relationships are a central component of ubuntu.
According to this philosophy it is through our relationships with others, personal, professional, and social, that we thrive as individuals. Furthermore, there is an interconnectedness among our relationships with others. Our professional relationships are an extension of and enriched by our personal ties, and vice versa. This involves interaction with others. These often represent profound insights into the meaning of human dignity and connectedness.
