1. Do you think that the spirit of Ubuntu is alive and well today in African American culture?
I really do not think that the spirit of Ubuntu is still alive and well in the African American community because we don't really have unity and there is also a lot of selfishness in our community as well.
2. Compare and contrast in detail and provide examples of any parallels/similarities that you have been able to identify between African cultures and African American culture. Has this concept of Ubuntu changed your worldview at all? Explain.
I think that African culture and the African American community has some similarities within culture, and economic similarities as well. I think that Africans have endured slavery and colonization while African Americans have dealt with oppression. I fell that both cultures come together to fight racism and oppression.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that having a positive sense of self can lead to having a positive sense of ethnic identity because you will view all things in a positive light. Someone with a negative view of their sense of self is more likely to have a negative sense of ethnic identity and race because they will see everything as being negative and might not envision the positive side of things; they will always want to tie themselves to the negative and not the positive outlook on life.

Theory 2: 7 Concepts of Afrocentric Psychology 

# data[].attributes.body
The concept that I feel is most represented in the African American Community is Human Authenticity which identifies a person as living life in accordance with their true self and personal values rather than living up to society's standards, for example I strive to live my life being my true self at all times. A concept that I feel is least present is Sankofa which means to go back and get it; in order to have success in life you need to reflect on past in order to have a better future.

I would assume that a person who identifies positively with AA Psychology might have a stronger sense of ethnic identity because they are able to stop and think about why they do things a certain way or why they think a certain way, they may even be aware as to what led to them thinking and acting the way that they do.

The Principle of Nguzo Saba that resonates with me the most is Imani which means faith, I believe that having strong faith can lead you to fulfill your purpose and goals in life. I think that this has value in the African American community because being African American we have been out through trials and tribulations and we always come out on top because we have faith to get us through.

1. The first measure that I chose is Neonatal Measures, which construed of the birth place of self, siblings, natural parents, grandparents, and extended family. Ethnic origins of extended family; ancestral lineage, etc. I chose this measure because i Grew up knowing exactly when and where I was born, I  also had both parents in the home with my siblings and my grandparents were always around as well.
2. The second measure that I chose is Situation-Contextual measures, it consists of home-family, work, education, community, recreation, ceremonial, religious, spirituality, etc. I chose this measure because my home and family means everything to me. Spending time with my family at home brings me joy and happiness.
3. The third measure is Behavioral Measures, this consists of the language use patterns, friendships and acquaintance affiliate patterns. Print and electronic media use patterns, music, clothing, and food preferences. Participation in cultural and religious activities. Membership in mutually beneficial societies and clubs etc. I chose this measure because I love to be surrounded by people and things that resonate with me and enable me to connect with myself and allow me to have better insight as to who I am.
4. The fourth measure that I chose is Self-Identification. It is the self-identification of a preferred ethnic group. Assessment of own acculturation of own acculturation status. Real and aspired self-concept. Value preferences. Role models and preferred reference groups. Own group affiliations and our group associations.

1. My stage of racial identity development is, immersion/emersion, which beach simultaneous desire to surround oneself with visible symbols of one’s racial identity and an active avoidance of symbols of whiteness; actively seek out opportunities to explore aspects of one’s own history and culture with support of peers from one’s own racial background.
2. I think that I identify with this state because I am at a point in life where I want to leave more about who I am and where I come from.
3. And example of passing through this stage would be enrolling into this course because I wanted to learn more about my ethnic background and what leads me to think the way that I do.
4. I have learned that there are many things that I do not know about my ethnicity.
