Western civilization, which has built its existence on exploitation, occupation and violence, manages the third world nations, which it sees as the other, with the concepts it produces. While the dominant ideology honors itself as an intelligent, far-sighted actor who brings freedom to the whole world, it stigmatizes the peoples it exploits as poor, ignorant and primitive communities.
These societies, whose nature has not been deteriorated and have preserved their purity, produce their own concepts by deploying with the weapon of the enemy and maintain calm despite the impossibilities. In Western societies, where the rights of the oppressed peoples with every bite that passes through their throats, individuals try to cope with violence, suicide, loneliness and mental problems, unite on the axis of the African "ubuntu" concept, which is presented as primitive societies, and maintain their motivation by forming a strong solidarity network.
The African peoples, whose resources are exploited, impoverished and deprived of the opportunities brought by technology, carry the values existing in their creation into their lives by deepening them on the axis of the concept of "ubuntu" and gain resistance against difficulties.
In this way, these societies are freed from their passions and can survive by sharing the available opportunities. Based on the principle of "My life is meaningful when we are", the "ubuntu" tribe has an influence that extends to Nigeria, Kamuran and the southern tip of the African continent. The African people, who have been exposed to ethnic exclusion, impoverished and enslaved throughout history, preserve these values and hold on to each other despite heavy sieges. This solidarity, this spirit of togetherness strengthens them spiritually and physically and enables them to achieve resistance against difficulties.
Based on the principle of I am meaningful if you exist, "ubuntu" unites the hearts of African peoples and enables them to draw strength from each other. An African society that is aware of the fact that peace and happiness are as essential as bread… Despite all the difficulties of life, it attaches importance to brotherhood, sharing and solidarity and tries to protect these values. People who build a sense of "we" that will unite all values, are building civilization in their inner world by preserving the essence of their nature and surviving by their own means. Ubuntu forms the core of this civilization, the foundation of which is based on love and sharing, and individuals act not with a sense of me, but with a sense of us and cling to each other like the seeds of a cluster.
Bringing the spirit of solidarity to the African people, ubuntu develops the understanding capacity and sharing understanding of individuals. When people come together with people they do not know, they do not feel threatened, on the contrary, they gain power and confidence and become spiritually stronger.
The African people, who have been exploited and enslaved for centuries, base and internalize the sense of brotherhood in towns where it is difficult to reach even basic needs, by adopting the understanding of you first, not me first. You can consider the meeting of the oppressed peoples with their essence from different points, but when you evaluate it from an impartial point of view, you will see that the people left to hunger develop the values present in their hearts and produce the love and sharing they need and bring them to life. It is true that modern culture has distorted the general fabric of Africa, but the core values of the communities that live there are still preserved and passed down from generation to generation.
The conceptualized and systematized understanding of value makes the collective solidarity model of the African people permanent, its integrative formula in its relations with others, and meets the peace that society needs. The capitalist Western mentality, which sees violence, massacres and occupation activities as a power and sinking into disgrace, has a lot to learn from these people, but because they brand the societies they enslave as impotence, they become blinded and unable to see the truth.
The understanding that if you exist, I am meaningful is the window of African people to themselves and the other, a power that highlights the African identity, and the way these people envision the world. This understanding, which was suppressed in the periods when the apartheid system based on racial discrimination was active, started to be used in many areas of life in the following periods and even became a power that affected the politics of South Africa. African people who have been colonized, culturally assimilated and their sense of value destroyed, show that they adhere to ubuntu by sticking together despite all this. This shows that the civilization that individuals have built in their inner world is much stronger and more effective.
