The Samoan
Samoa's way of life is steeped in traditions and culture as family comes above all else and the people have a very strong tie to their communities; each individual is a member of the community and is expected to contribute to the community's success. Despite this sense of obligation, there is no pressure to overwork or gain large sums of money to help the community as each individual's role in the community is, more or less, one of membership common
Samoa is fairly densely populated, but only a small percentage of the people actually live in cities Most of the people live in more rural areas. Village and city life does differ in work and lifestyle, but there are also many similarities across these areas. Many Samoan families wake early and begin their day with a prayer then everyone will prepare for their work day or school. School tends to go until about 2:00 pm and work times vary based on what an individual does, but tends to go until the early evening. Evenings are often filled with collecting food for the next day, socializing, or playing sports with friends. Most days the people just take their time as they stop by a family member's or neighbor's house only to socialize. The evening meal is generally shared with the family then most people relax and socialize some more until midnight. |
