Ubuntu or umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu is a key concept in creating a classroom consciousness that stands to aid one another in growth as opposed to standing alone and seeking only individual best interests. Ubuntu means: a human being is a human being through others. This is true as human beings learn everything we know through other human beings. It would be my task as the teacher to encourage other learners to allow this individual to feel more at ease with his humanity. Especially since Africa has such a vast amount of ethnicities and cultures.

Throughout the life long process of developing a sense of self the there are two factors that shape an individual. Who we are internally and who we present ours self to others and have conformed to social norms through the context of socialization. Within the process of socialisation, social structure and social interaction are both essential ingredients in an individual’s day-to-day life. This is because humans have the need to interact with each other for survival needs and furthermore maintain existence. According to the Macionis and Plummer, socialisation is defined as; “The lifelong social experiences by which individuals develop their human potential and learn patterns of their culture (Cited in Macionis & Plummer, 2012, p. 695).” Socialisation establishes the importance of an individual’s social identity through both aspects of social structure and social interaction.
Personal identity is very important because it shows who a person is. Identity can be used in a positive or negative way. People can be judgmental on the identity of people because it can transcend a particular lifestyle and background. Race, gender, economic status, and social status are all rooted to develop one’s self-identity. In the two short personal essays, “ Black Men and Public Space ” by Brent Staples and “ The Lesson ” by Toni Cade Bambara the authors tell about their social
When we utilize the support systems in the community, we can build a common vision, create tolerance and respect, and boost economic prospects in rapidly changing underserved neighborhoods. This is accomplished through programs supporting social integration across race and class, upward economic mobility, neighborhood identity, civic engagement and community development. With you support and connections to programs in our community, we can combine our efforts to work toward a better environment for the residents. Ways to enhance the communities, the goal is to create activities that include the people of communities that engage in integrating arts and culture into the lives of the residents. There should be a system to collect information and measure the quality of life at the community level.

Did slavery really cause the American Civil War? SOURCE A Defenders of slavery argued that it was economically necessary because white men could not work in the heat. Freedom would be a hardship to the slaves because free blacks would have to take on all the cares and responsibilities of looking after themselves. They quoted from the Bible to show slavery was not morally wrong. Judge Harper claimed they supported slavery because of ‘our humanity and consideration for the slaves themselves’.
My personal experiences serve as puzzle pieces to who I am: without them, I would be incomplete, and with them, I am more of a person. Each of the things that I have been a part of; a family that still remains together, a middle-class teenager, a born and raised Southern Baptist, and a world traveler, contribute and help to define who I am as a person. One’s social location is definitively expressed as a person’s place in society, and things such as race, class, gender, and religion are four of the key factors in determining a person’s social location. Another thing that widely shapes where we stand in society is our past. In life, we live as though we are boxes: when we start, we have sharp edges, and we hurt others and others hurt us.
The journey that a person takes in life similar to Santiago’s in The Alchemist clearly illustrates the factors that contribute towards one’s identity. The relationships established during this journey also play a part in establishing a person’s identity. The positive and negative experiences in life along with the friendships established also plays a key role in making a person’s identity. Determination has a huge impact on our identity. Determination is focusing on our goal and putting all the effort in our power to achieve it.

Individuals who seek out their personal legend develop their identity by making decisions that are faced upon them. This is shown in The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho when Santiago travels to Africa where he is challenged with choices that will end up shaping his identity. In Paulo Coelho’s book, The Alchemist, the author develops the idea that an individual must actively
