1. _______________ One enduring aspect of the cultures of Kenya is the family. Traditionally,
Kenyan people received all their education from their parents and grandparents. Today there are
schools to educate children, but the family is still very important as a social unit. Another
enduring aspect of Kenyan cultures is respect for the old. Traditional society was organized

elders who made decisions for the community. Today old people are still respected, but they don’t
have the responsibility of leadership that they once had.
