Question

Briefly explain with two examples how traditional leaders in Ghanaian communities can

Answer 1

Answer:

They can employ the Ubuntun concept through:

• Formation of guidelines that seek to protect and help the most vulnerable minorities (women, homosexuals, etc.).
• Establish programs that help the poorest and most marginalized people to have access to resources that can improve their quality of life.

Explanation:

Ubuntun is a concept of African origin very similar to the concept of love for others that we have in America. This concept is more popular in the countries that make up Sub-Saharan Africa and refers to the human ability to develop feelings and practice acts that express and stimulate generosity, solidarity, compassion for those in need and that promotes harmony among all humans regardless of any factor.

Traditional leaders of Ghanaian communities can adopt this concept with policies, guidelines and projects that help the most needy groups in their communities, such as minorities who are often attacked and treated as inferior. In that case, leaders could:

• Formation of guidelines that seek to protect and help the most vulnerable minorities (women, homosexuals, etc.).
• Establish programs that help the poorest and most marginalized people to have access to resources that can improve their quality of life.
