« Culture Africa: Many African today especially dela Saharan region have forgotten their traditional culture at the expense of western »

"In a dual Africa that still has nostalgia for the past and embracing modernism in all its dimensions uncritically, sometimes with the appearance of uprooted elites, assimilated, extrovert, and cut off from their people, plunged into a distorted vision deforming cultural realities of the continent, concerns loom over the future African sociocultural. The entrance of Africa in the new global village is perplexed. The meeting with the next story is a market where Africa will that a pure consumer on his back a diminished crop. In Africa this emerges a paradox which we no longer know which way to take. For not wanting to think outside the box, not daring to plunge into the deep waters, to throw our nets (Lc5, 4), we will only fry the shore and will remain crippled fishermen, turning on ourselves, never face the opposing currents and winds large.Au pace of cultural mixing, it is inclined to believe that in the long culture of African peoples might disappear due to its marginalization, its abandonment by the complicity of Africans themselves in favor of a pseudo Western culture.Indeed, the shock brought a cultic movement direction: Africans are not themselves victims because of a cultural alienation caused by looking to the outside which ended up asleep consciences and act the "opium of the people" come to establish with Emmanuel Mounier that "most blacks are ashamed of being black, a secret shame they do not make them, but until that haunts their pride.This finding is relevant in more ways than one;because today many Africans fleeing their identity, their cultural reality.Many are those who know nothing of their culture, their language.African society today makes us rootless, alienated and acculturated of all kinds as much as we would like.However, aurendez you give and recevoirculturel, it takes on a new face.Culture shock, this "profound sense of disorientation experienced by individuals and groups suddenly put in contact with a cultural environment whose features reveal unknown, incomprehensible, threatening" resulted in modern societies the great transformations leaving room the erosion of moral values, loss of cultural identity and internal imbalance.Faced with the direct and brutal assault of different cultural patterns, the African is now trapped as pseudo-values that depersonalize it;there is a need to take an important part in the awakening of consciences in an African Cultural Revolution humanizing.This project aims indeed to destroy the cultural pseudo-values that destroy the cultural fabric of black contains ransacking its inclusion in the history of mankind.It is in this that our titled Western cultural imperialism and become the African culture: Challenges and Prospects.Given this cultural identity crisis that litter our social relations, a question draws our attention.What will become of African culture facing the imposing influence of Western culture?Should we stay close to the mouth has generated disorientation total culture shock in our families?How then switch eyes closed when, on our daily routes, we meet many Africans, both youth and adults uprooted and when we are in front of people who do not even want to hear about any African language to ask for a culture whose ins and outs are unknown to them?Is not it time for the continent to review its cultural policy as did the newly industrialized countries of Asia and guide otherwise the question of development which can not move from its culture?Is it not time for her to rethink its culture for insertion into modernity, to make an objective analysis of its past, rigorous criticism of its present to determine the way forward, to make a return to its cultural source to draw from human values, and move to the ultimate modernism without alienating?Here are so many issues that caught our attention and that have guided us towards this theme inspired by everyday realities.The astonishing progress facing the world now seems to have the cultural mix backdrop.All human endeavors are emerging on the basis of the now multi-dimensional culture.All times in their diversity, cultures seek to complete and to phagocytose each other.The social dimension of human achievement that today no culture can live in isolation.
