I found this in my AP Psych textbook:
South Africans have a word for the human bonds that define us all. Ubuntu (oo-BOON-too), explained Desmond Tutu (1999), expresses the fact that “my humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in yours.” A Zulu maxim captures the idea: Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu–“a person is a person through other persons.”
