Subject
What role does the family play in Senegal?
Description
The family plays a very important role in Senegalese society. It influences many aspects in life like dating and culture. Also, family is a source of strength and force. Family is greatly valued. Contrary to western culture, the Senegalese live with their parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. The concept of family is also not limited to biological relation; the community shares the responsibility of raising children. The community, specifically the elders, control courtship in Senegal. Most marriages are arranged.
