CAN BELIEF OR CUSTOM BE MASTERS OF THIS GENERATION
In ancient generations, people were subject to law and regulations, rules and guidelines which could neither be discussed or amended by the community. The leader had the Ultimate power to speak and dictate his will upon the people. No one thought of any other person standing on his chair except the people inside that particular family. However, leaders had ultimate powers and could act independently in regards to the cultural normally and regulations.
In African history, the whole kingdom belonged to the king. Well, people still had the land and could cultivate but a smaller proportion of their land was kept for the king. That proportion represented the king's ownership and superiority to the people and their properties. At the end of the season, people had that responsibility to bring their crops harvest to the king and that was done as planned and no one would escape that.
In the actual generation, everyone lives his life. The sole and principal authority did loose their values and respect when the people felt they can still better than them. Democracy took place whereby the people themselves choose their leaders and program that particular task for a given period. This all was in line with human wish and right, freedom of speech or even the aspect of individualism and capitalism. All those effects affected not only the country but also lives of the citizen.
Still, we should note that some countries are still under kingdomship, meaning all led in a system where the same leader and family rule for life. The king sets rules and regulations to the community and the people ought to follow. All these bring that particular aspect of cultural norms helpful for the growth of the community. However, the present society tend to live in their own particular life making their own target and sets of regulations turning the society into a multi-oriented oriented universe.
