Explain how African mythology maintained a consistent set of values despite the vast expanse of the continent.

Answer 1

Africa is a vast continent because it is place where different cultures and various languages are exist. The people are diverse here and no one is able to make them United. However, there are many cultural and religious groups which have common mythological views and perspective.Whereas, there are many other culture and religion which have their own cultural and religious beliefs which is totally different.

The main thing to consider is that mythology doesn't necessarily mean to be a myth, as it could be a myth or stories of previous religion or tradition. There are some myth which talk about universal concept including emergence of world and fate of human after death. African society consists of ethical system which includes ethical values, beliefs and morality whose objective is to teach basic principles and customs.

The local speaks African language whereas those who comes from different countries to set here speak different languages and some local speak English as well as African mix.They have many religious belief according to which different cultural groups have different god and different beliefs.

The Africa is segregated in different groups because of religious and cultural beliefs. The living style also varies from region to region as South Africa people have different styles from North and similarly the east African people have different style from West. There is too much diversification in Africa based in digging things. So we can say that African mythology maintained a consistent set of values despite the vast expanse of the continent.
