Africans are very community oriented.  They take care of each other, watch each other's children, and are extremely family-oriented.  The African family not only consists of one's immediate family, but also their extended family.As well, most East African people groups are male-dominated.  Women and children often do not eat with the men.  Men are served first and are the dominant figure in the family.
