Ok. Repeat after me: Mbongi, Mbongi, now in a softer voice say Mbongi. From the lecture my interpretation of Mbongi, which was Dr.Carr's focus point, is a space with no boundaries in which you can enter into intellectual conversation and problem solving. Dr.Carr explained that Mbongi is everywhere we go and can be in everything we are involved in.

Mbongi is a word of African decent and another one of Dr.Carr's point was that Africa is pretty much the center of all things created. Things such as language, numbers, and the art of writing.

Mbongi was not the only African word we learned. We also learned Boko, Yemba, Lusanga and Kioto. Dr.Carr took these words, gave us a definition and showed us how they relate to our everyday lives. Dr.Carr explained that Knowledge is the aquisition of learning and wisdom is the knowing of what to do with your knowledge. I feel as though Mbongi is what helps to form wisdom and that is what Dr. Carr was trying to let us know.
