Ubuntu
Ubuntu is an idea from the Southern African region which means literally "human-ness", and is often translated as "humanity towards others". Ubuntu is used in a philosophical sense to mean "all humanity is connected through a universal bond of sharing".Ubuntu is a philosophy that holds values of collective consciousness and social awareness.[1]
In Southern Africa, it has come to be used as a term for a kind of humanist philosophy, ethic or ideology, also known as Ubuntuism or Hunhuism (the latter after the corresponding Shona term) propagated in the Africanisation (transition to majority rule) process of these countries during the 1980s and 1990s.
