amond, as a way of stereotyping successful black people, but the media does little to acknowledge Black Diamonds who practise their tribal customs and values, particularly Ubuntu.

 

One respondent’s answers to the first two questions in the questionnaire were disregarded because the answers were not valid; the person did not understand the question well enough to give distinct answers that could be used for valid processing. This was a problem because I would have liked to have had a broader view of what the respondent’s thoughts were on the two answers and disregarding the questions made a small impact in getting a fair representation of results for those questions.

 

Conclusion

To conclude, I used both primary and secondary research to help me answer my focus question: are successful black people, referred to as Black Diamonds, playing a significant role in promoting tribal customs and values, such as Ubuntu, to the black youth born after 1990?

 

With regards to my focus question, I was able to ascertain that although there are some Black Diamonds, particularly positive ones like Tokyo Sexwale, who can promote tribal customs and values, like Ubuntu, to the black youth born after 1990, there seems to be little significance for the tribal customs and beliefs to the black youth born after 1990. The first aim of the research was to explore how the positive and negative influences of Black Diamonds, as portrayed in the media, can affect us black youth. The media plays a huge role in the way the black youth born after 1990 view Black Diamonds and their role in society; with the primary research it was depicted that the media tends to focus more on the negative aspects of Black Diamonds and highlight more of the negative Black Diamonds, like Kenny Kunene. When comparing Kenny Kunene and Tokyo Sexwale, it can be concluded that Kunene gets more media coverage than Sexwale and that is because his lifestyle tends to be more alluring for the media to focus on, i.e. partying and spending money on alcohol and clothes. Both Kunene and Sexwale can be seen as role models for the black youth born after 1990, particularly Kunene who is a role model for some of the teenagers referred to as Skhothanes but both of them do very little to promote tribal customs and values such as Ubuntu. Sexwale does however, portray some aspects of Ubuntu through his work as Minister of Human Settlements, yet both he, Kenny Kunene and all Black Diamonds alike can actually do more to promote tribal customs and beliefs, especially through the way they are shown through the media.

 

The second aim was to get a better view of the black youth, especially those born after 1990, and their opinion about having to continue with tribal customs, like Ubuntu, in this new westernised society. From the secondary research, it is clear that the majority of the black youth do not feel that it is necessary to continue practising tribal customs and beliefs in a westernised environment but some do have an interest to know about some of the tribal customs and beliefs. I felt as though there were not enough people in the demographic of the questionnaire to h本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
