African American social upbringing shapes the personalities of its people by teaching them the importance of community, education and self-respect. This upbringing instills a sense of resilience, strength and self-determination into its people, teaching them that no matter the adversity they will endure and succeed. Through the influence of community and family members, African Americans also learn to value kindness, respect and service to others. The rich oral history, music, dance, and food of African Americans are also embedded in their culture, teaching them to honor and appreciate their heritage.
