That life makes moral demands is accepted, and this is shown among other things by the sense of the person and attachment to life itself. Sin is perceived in both its personal and communal dimensions. Drunkenness is shameful. Indeed moderation is required in every aspect of human behaviour. Attention is given to locating man within his environment and making him feel at home in it.
Tradition is handed down through stories, poems, hymns, proverbs, riddles and art.
The whole community is involved in the training of the young, and education itself has a necessary community and social aspect. The moral education of youth is taken seriously. Life has a festive dimension and is celebrated in adequate rites. Old folk are held in high esteem. The community regards their wisdom as prophetic, that is, as able to give direction for living in the circumstances of the present day.
