Descendants of an ancient people, the African American more often views reality through lens of his ancient orientation/memories. The values, beliefs and spiritualism inherent in these memories are described as 'Guiding Lights: " Naturalism, Communalism, Temporalism, and Fatalism. They function in helping to shape the African American's worldview, and tend to influence human behavior As such they often place the individual and group in conflict with Western thought and practices.
