African culture
African culture is characterized by a fully integrated
system of social values informed through historical processes that support its
social organization.
The most interesting feature of African culture is the
almost homogeneous nature of the pseudo-African language, in which the
non-verbal elements of communication are used to change the meaning and convey
emotion. Like Southern Europeans, Africans are more talkative, warm, and
committed.
This pseudo-African language is rooted in a set of ancient
historical relationships and spiritual beliefs embedded in the flourishing
generation, language, politics, as well as the simultaneous tragedies of
slavery and colonialism in Africa.
The quasi-linguistic dialects of the Africans, and the
fundamental social breaths, are easily recognizable and rooted in a strong and deeply entrenched ancient philosophy that requires their continuity and
excellence even in the face of widespread social and political geopolitical
shifts resulting from demographic change.
