Umbuntu

Rough Translation: the essence of being human; humanity
Cultural Meaning: a person is a person through other people; treat others the way you would like to be treated; it takes one hand to wash another
Context: “A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed, or treated as if they were less than who they are.” Tutu, Desmond. No Future Without Forgiveness. New York: Random House, Inc., 1999. 31.
