      Well said @Unpopular Opinions , i think so too. Im non aboriginal (immigrant) Australian and i think we've confused the similar values. I think alot of people dont think about what they want so much as sit back and be told what they want. We think this is living, im forever learning how wrong we are, and im okay with that. "Nothing worth keeping ever comes easy" i want a happy, loving and connected life. All this disease because we have lost connection to what our body is telling us. All this hate towards eachother because we are not connected to our family our neighbours. All this depression because we arent given the time for us to figure out what makes our souls truley longterm happy to follow it, because we cant live a life that we value.
      But we are here and we can change it. There are wonderful teachers and examples in other cultures and in our own backyard, if we ask kindly, how we would like to be treated. We can create a meaningful society that excites us to be a part of. I truely do believe it is possible.
      Love and joy are infectious feelings, share them, it multiplys 😊🙃😛😮

    I hand washed my own clothes from the age of 6, did basic family shopping from the age of 7, cleaned our whole house, did gardening, cooked, baked, washed dishes by hand from the age of 10. OK, I'm 40+, things were different back then. No one would call it child labor where I'm from (East Europe). Our parents worked full time, of course children needed to do the most of the easy chores. And yes, we were expected to be good in school as well)
    We knew how to sew, how to plant vegetables, how to take care of broken things.
    We moved to Germany and I learned that sometimes children here get paid for unloading the dishwasher and get expensive gadgets for being good in school)

      What about childabuse, childneglect , a lack of accountablity, animal torture, a disfunctional situation (bribery, corruption)? I am speaking from experience... not what others told me.. at which point can a system to be called broken or failed? When people gave up on approaching the challanges and instead trying to ignore whats going on around them? What are laws made for if nobody gives a damn about them? When your phone gets stolen while you are robbed and you are asked by police to pay money so the phone is tracked and then later paying more money so the tracked phone can be found and someone arrested...since police does not earn enough money to even create decent living standarts (not even 100€ a month)..it does not work like that.. that is obvious to anyone who cares, many people that live under this conditions confirmed that to me..

    Oh I could be best friends with you! I am a single working mother, and by most peoples ideas, I would be considered poor. But! I live in a small house (thats paid for), on land (thats paid for), and drive an old truck (thats paid for). So, I owe nothing to the bank nor anyone else. Also, I do my laundry in the sink (by well water), and hang it up to dry in the sun. I like it better that way, and the sun gives our clothes the most wonderful, fresh smell. I am going to start a garden with my daughter to grow our own food. Thank you for inspiring me to be grateful! Although I live in America, we have a lot in common. Have a wonderful day, and thank you again!

      If you have your own land and house that is paid for, it is so much easier to maintain with a truck that is paid for! I have those things and feel very grateful and lucky. The 30+ year old truck was given to me and the house I bought, but I have put in hundreds of hours of work into learning about them and fixing them up, and spent about a thousand or more on tools to do so. I know I am fortunate and I use what I have and know to help my friends who also help me.
      But I have no kids and use a dryer for my clothes. If my plot was bigger I would consider it.

    I like when you said that if a culture isn’t hurting a person, or other people, let it be, keep quiet and enjoy yourself in a foreign land. It’s also interesting that you mentioned that all these things we as North Americans may think is oppression, it’s culture. It’s also interesting that some may think that a 7 year old washing their own clothes is oppression, but exposing 7 year olds (or younger) to internet isn’t considered the same. Or using children for clout, isn’t the same…. I think (at least for myself) as a North American… I could learn a lot of things from you Aketch! Not just about Africa, but about a slow way of living, about confidence, about contentment, about perspective.. thanks for posting!

    Yes, please share more! I literally broke down in tears after watching you grind your flour... to say you are rich and I am poor would be an understatement. I cried because because I am sick from the food I eat and my lifestyle has barely left me with enough energy to care for my self or others properly. In my country, I am not allowed to own land. ( Or if I can I don't know how.) I thought I paid for land once, but found out that was a down-payment on a lease and if after I didn't make the yearly payments, they took the land away from me. I should have known it was all a scam. The land did not come from my parents or theirs. Thank you for showing us what a real life looks like and how a strong and beautiful culture lives. May you continue thrive. Thank you for sharing your life. It is so amazing and beautifully done.

    I personally find it disturbing when grown up people in western countries don't know how to cook, take care of the house or themselves. The values you have in your culture are something to be proud of and be shared. My favorite is the sense of community and trust in each other. We have lost that in the west a long time ago. However, from my experience, the sense of community is inherent and just needs to be awakened. My advice to the western people is be nice and helpful to the next person you meet. Yeah, maybe you will get hurt once in a while, but most people just need to see an example of how things should be done in order to start doing it themselves.

    Born in the UK. When I was a kid I washed my school uniform shirts everyday by hand. Just got used to it. Did the family ironing once weekly. Also expected to keep my room clean and tidy. Didn’t need to cook, but was taught how to from an early age. Was working two paper rounds by age 13, before and after school. Taught my kids similar disciplinary values. This behaviour was the norm all over 🇬🇧 back-in-the-day.

      My best friend's family is from England. They are upper middles, have a huge house and all the amenities of their class, like a gardener and a house maid. I remember when their three girls were teenagers. They cleaned their rooms and bathrooms, ironed their own clothes, walked the family dog at 6 am, worked for charity from the age of 13. They were expected to be excellent at school. Stood up when their grand parents walked in a room, asked for permission to leave a dinner table, walked from their rooms downstairs to say goodbye to house guests. Parenting is kind of different in England))

    Culture shock " when I came to Canada, I was 19 and had 4 children with me. 13,10,4 and 2 those were the age. 3 were my brothers and the 2year old was my son. People were in shock how well I was taking care of them. I had social worker, doctor, teachers, counselor all behind me thinking that I won't be ok with kids. I told them I have been with them in refugee camp and here we will be just fine. It was hard with all of those people behind me.2years later I changed the province. Later on I find out 19 year old here still like a kid 😢 some of them don't know even how to boil water.

    Now what does shock me is the new anti-homosexuality act. If I travelled to your country, I would risk prison, or death. People housing me risk prison. A doctor giving me medicine risks prison. That's shocking to me.

      I have a background in anthropology and I remember a sociology professor telling us that we should not just accept everything because it’s “culture.” If something robs people of basic human rights that’s not culture, that’s just abuse of power and inhumane. There are countries that still practice genital mutilation, imagine people claiming that “it’s just part of their culture, therefore it has to be respected” 🤡🤡🤡 respecting a culture stops when it starts infringing on human rights. If they’re wanting to murd3r lgbtq+ that is violating human rights. That’s not culture at all, but abuse of power.

    I live in one of the poorest counties in Pennslytucky (mid state PA). I live in a small town. Almost everyone here owns their own home. We are not rich. We take out 20 or 30 yr mortgage to pay for them. Homes and land are inherited from parents as well. My own parents only use cash and almost never pay with credit cards. This used to be the way in most of rural US. Now 80% of US citizens live in cities and are victims of rent trap.

    The shock with child labor is more for industrial applications, like mining, cleaning chimneys, or making shoes to export. We are taught to be averse to that kind of child labor, as to not require that of children here in the future. Some kids in the US are expected to wash their own clothes, if they have a washer and dryer at their parents house. They live there until 18 or 19. I love your videos.

    I am glad you spoke about cash being order of the day. It also makes me wonder if we are actually poor. Uganda like many other african countries is a highly cash economy. When you see someone with land, a house, car, even a business, best believe they most likely paid cash. Mortgage or property financing companies are struggling. I usually see Americans buying things they don't even need just to build credit. In Uganda, loans are mainly for businesses.

    What shocked me most was how foreigners are getting targetted by hunters and scammers. Most white people I met in Kampala ended up having relationships with people that were financially milking them and barely ever had black partners before. Whenever I walked along the street people around me started talking about the Muzungu.
    Second thing that shocked me was the lack of safety on the roads. Bodabodas (motorbike taxis) are a danger to pretty much everyone.
    Third thing is the lack of safety at night.
    And fourth... Matoke, gnut sauce, beef stew,... It's incredible and I was shocked I never heard about these before. Very affordable, healthy and yummy. ❤

    I would've gotten in trouble for child labor when my children decided that they didn't want to go to school, so I made them go with me to a friend's farm and pick grapes for raisins. 100+ degree heat, dusty, covered in spiderwebs, placing the grapes onto the paper trays to dry. I made them do that for one week, and after that, no complaining about school, but even better is that they appreciated the work that goes into growing food, and all graduated from college. Even better is that they still grow their own vegetables and fruits.

    I'm also probably older than most of your followers. We grew up doing chores every day of the week. Including weekends. That was normal in America until about 20 or so years ago. For some reason people decided that they needed to coddle their children and made them weak. And Americans have steadily gotten more weak over the years.
    So, if they give you a hard time about the things you do and practice try to remember they were made weak by their parents.

How do you expect people to believe they are fully independent? When we aren't. Don't expect so much when most people under 35 can't afford their own home or apartment (most people under 40! is nearer the number) and therefore live with either parents or several roommates who each work more than 1 job and still can't make rent and several utilities payments without going into severe debt.

    People of industrie nations are spoilt and will hardly survive if electricity will fail for a week, simply because they are mentally not prepared to do things which used to be done by hand. I was the same when I came from America. As I grew up at my grandparents little farm, I had to go fetching water from a well, several times a day. We also washed our laundry by hand. The only machines we had was a spin dryer and a mangle for the bed clothings. The toilet was a wooden booth outdoors which was emptied once a year by hand. There was no bathroom. Once every second week, we heated up enough water to take a "bath" in the same big washtub we used for washing the laundry. From Spring to autumn I was sent into the woods to collect fire-wood, elderberry flowers, berries, mushrooms, stinging nettle, and other wild growing green leafy food like dandelion or sorrel. There was hardly any foodwaste. Everything we would not eat like kitchenscrapings, went to our chicken and ducks and geese and pigeons. We had one diary cow and two goats. We made our own butter, cheese and we never ran out of eggs. Grand mother grew so many different vegetables, and we conserved most of it in jars. We had all year long enough to eat. The only things which my grandmother bought was bottled beer, salt, flour, yeast ... and clothings. The only entertainment was reading, playing board or card games and listening to the radio. I was from a big american city. Life with my grandparents was humbling. And tought me big lessons: We are nothing without our "modern technology". Everybody should know how to survive when technology fails. But 98% of citi people are even not equipped to do that. In Europe are like 450 of 490 mio people completely depending on electricity and all of its conveniences

    Doing household chores is just preparing for life.
    I think the reason people might comment on this is also cultural. For example, in my great-grandparents days, children were not sent to school because they were supposed to help with chores or go in the fields with the goats. Generation after generation from my family sacrificed so that we could achieve more. Of course, now we are leaning into the other extreme, where children don't do anything except school and that, I think, robs them of some important life skills.

I started doing my own laundry at 7 or 8, and I did household chores and helped cook with my mom and could cook some basic things myself. My mother just made sure I was safe around the stove and the oven so I didn't get burned. Those same people who claim it's child labor often have kids who are out of control and they wonder why that is. They weren't taught responsibility and respect at a young age. I'm in the usa.

      Well tbh letting your child help you with chores or do some by themselves sometimes is totally okei, but expecting from a kid to do all of the stuff that a parent should do (aka dinner, chores and other things), is not okei.

    I am planning to go to Kampala later this year and I am sure those things would have confused me. My virtual assistant lives there and he’s by far the best remote worker I’ve ever hired.
    The idea of being responsible for your own cooking and cleaning from a young age, makes so much sense why he is so accountable and responsible.

    In America, most people who 'own' land certainly aren't rich.
    However, we dont actually own it. For the first 30 YEARS, we pay a mortgage, then property taxes forever. If you don't pay, it's gone.
    So we have the unhindered use of it, not ownership.

    I feel like Africa's biggest problem today is bureaucracy and corruption. I feel the problem America experiences today the most is entitlement and self absorption. I am America, I love my country. But I feel like we've forgotten that our lifestyle has a cost, that what are incredibly lucky to have the privellage to live in an affluent safe country, and that not everything is about you. Also, what ever happened to respect for elders and authority. Thanks for the interesting video. By the way I am glad to hear that Uganda is a landowning society, thats so important! I wish you luck in your endeavors! Hope I can visit Uganda one day.
    P.S. In a lot of America people still have there kids do their own chores and owning things is normal. Its just in coastal states like New York and big cities that are renter, credit, consumer societies that have specialization of labor and remove responsibility for children.

    Our western mindset is one that thinks our way is the best way and everyone else just doesn’t know it yet.
    Our children are inept with life and self value - unfortunately as are the adults so the cycle goes on.
    Coupled with that is debt driven living and medication.
    The result is over stressed, depressed people with no better way they know so they turn to medication and addictions.
    There is so much peace and balance in places like Uganda. However, I see that ‘development’ and commercialisation and the desire to be like Americans ends up with the same ill outcome in every country.

    My experience growing up lower middle class. Meaning we had everything we needed and wanted as long as my parents kept their jobs living pay check to pay check. I grew up in a suburban area with 4 siblings. By the age of eight, you were washing your own clothes. By ten, you were cooking for yourself during the summer. By fourteen, you were allowed to get your working papers. Sixteen, all my siblings were driving, and we were left home alone for up to a week. Americans are like any other continent of people. We all have our own training and traditions when it comes to our families.

    Because America is a multicultural society all things are not viewed the same despite the predominate culture. As an African American the things you have discussed are parallel with practices that I observed from youth. One can dismiss the impractical images displayed via media. They’re sales pitches used to sell ad revenue in the marketplace. Nothing more. 🙋🏾‍♀️

      Here here PepperJones, very well written.
      All part of the money game and delusions rather than reality. I think they like to think "their" country is "above" that kind of necessity, so they can tell others its great here. A veery fragile mentality to have. I believe theres nothing wrong with doing things that work, cant argue with progress, so long as no one got hurt.
      I was also not "shocked" by alot of this, however i could see how we are the minority in her experiences. Likely alot of people will be amazed and process how different one could "survive", let them be confused and curious for they dont know how to live, yet. When they are ready so will we.
      I hope you will always see the holy light at your side, may you always have what you need to cherish and protect what you value.

    As a child of Cuban parents, hand washing clothing is normal, especially if it is a little bit. I even brought a manual barrel washer to be more effective with hand washing without the machine. Even here in the US, I hand wash some of the clothes, curtains and mats. For heavy duty stuff like comforters, pillows and towels we use the washer machine. Much what you say here in this video is done in Cuba too, so it wouldn't shock me or my family. 🥰 Incredible how similar so many African nations are to those in Central and South American nations. Thank you for sharing the customs of your country with us.
