Cultural Mind MapMind Map is a diagram that depicts behavioural tendencies and relationships between experience and present behaviour. Folklore: We have always been told to respect our elders. Since childhood, we are told that it’s a great blessing to grow older. My mother would tell me a story about Lizard and Chameleon that was sent by The Creator to deliver his message. Chameleon was told about people won’t be dying and the Lizard was told that the people are about to die. We still believe that growing old is a privilege from the creator and thus, we respect our elders.Religion: Many of us have accepted Christianity. But the rest part believes in ancestral spirits. Our people had this tradition of offerings and sacrifices to the ancestral spirits, we believe in them, they guide us and keep us safe. We pray to them for our health. When we face a problem we call herbalist who communicates with ancestors and if needed, gives us herbs as well. But as the foreign people came, they brought their things to us. Slowly, some people began believing in Christianity, some still believe in ancestral spirit, some of us believe in both.Clothing: We have grown with our surroundings. Zulu people like me wear urban clothes. But we haven’t forgotten our values of traditional clothing. A single woman will wear beads and proudly flaunt their body. If she has a husband, she will cover her body to show that she belongs to someone. But we prefer to wear traditional clothing on special occasions only.Education: We are not much different from the African community when it comes to literacy. Zulu people are gradually showing their interest in education. Earlier we would focus on work and earn, but now a change is coming in the Zulu community. If our people can afford education, we surely send them to schools and colleges.
