Africa: Ubuntu a philosophy

This post is going to be different from the rest in the sense that I find more useful to answer the proposed question for this topic and then present the class contents, because it is all going to be about a philosophy: Ubuntu.

So before the post I would like to present a video taken from Pedromusicman's channel in You Tube that shows some traditional African dances which carry with them the concept o Ubuntu, feel free to just watch a few parts so you can get an idea of what this is about, I will refer to this video later on.
