Values

Three points in Dr.G's lecture were Ijuba, achievements of Ancient Egyptians, and the importance of character. Ijuba means homage. We should pay homage to those who came before us and those who are around us. We also should pay homage to ourselves.We have to recognize others around us. Some people would say that africans have no history and no philosophy but Dr.G gave specific examples as to why this is wrong. BEFORE Christianity and even Socrates existed Antef, a philosopher in Kemet. He was also talking about how important character is in a person's life. Without good character, you will lose everything and you will not be successful or happy. As I was listening to this lecture I could not help but think that it was similar to Dr.Carr's lecture. Dr.Carr also spoke about achievements during the time of Ancient Egyptians and the importance of recognizing african american's legacy that started a very long time ago. What Dr.G said about character was very true. If a person has good character then they will be given opportunities that a person with bad character would not receive. I did not like the presentation of the lecture but there were some valid points.
