Renowned Ghanaian media personality and lecturer, Dr. Nana Anima Wiafe Akenten, recently shared her insights on the importance of traditional values and social norms in Ghanaian society. In an interview on Hitz FM with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, Dr. Anima emphasized the significance of reviving traditional values that were once looked down upon and undervalued.
She pointed out that there has been a positive shift in recent times, with a growing recognition of the need to preserve and promote traditional knowledge, values, and teachings. Dr. Akenten stressed the importance of respectful communication, especially among the younger generation, highlighting the need for sensitivity and respect in interactions with others.
However, she also lamented the negative impact of social media on eroding these values, noting that young people are increasingly engaging in disrespectful behavior and insults online. Dr. Anima emphasized the importance of promoting and preserving traditional values, especially in a time when they are being disregarded and undermined.
Her comments serve as a reminder for Ghanaians to reflect on their traditional values and social norms, and to make a concerted effort to uphold and pass them on to future generations. It is essential to recognize the significance of these values in shaping a strong and respectful society for all.
