CULTURAL VALUES : what are the most important cultural values in the Tunisian culture?
Hospitalilty : the most common known thing that Tunisians are
generous especially when it comes to care about common or individual social
issues. They usally stand for each other for example : « during the
arab spring revolution , Tunisia has recieved thounsands of people from Libye
and Syria and even though the tough economic situation of the state , the government
and the people were not surprisingly kind and open to this idea . moreover they
gave them food , clothes and even they sheltered them » .
Respect : respect and ethical values is a necessity for people to intermingle and
to be open to others . The act of understanding of being respectful and
respected is spread all over Tunisia’ states even though the geographic
boundaries or traditions or beliefs « there is no difference between each and
every one in Tunisia ». Tunisian people are a very strong believers in
this value we can see it from there daily life : « men respect
women , children respect elders … etc , also Tunisia’s small populations of
jews and christians have generally been free to practice their faiths. »
Freedom : right of free expression is the first thing across our
minds when we talk about values in Tunisia . people nowadays can share their
opinions without any pressure from govermnement. For example « academic
freedom which was seriously limited before the revolution , has been
significantly expanded . Besides Tunisians can choose their own
lifestyle. »
Equality and justice : in Tunisia woman enjoys her rights and can get a job
as man do .
Originality : tunisians known as a discreet and cautious
people . they always stick by their own traditions and beliefs whatever the
situation they remain faithfull to their own original identity.

Throughout
this paragraph we would like to highlight four important values in Tunisia :
1- Charity :
Tunisian peoples are contibuting to help others such as the case of the Libyan
refugees who find in tunisia a "suitabal home" .
2- Honor and
respect : are also very significant for ewample if a person loses his honor and
dignity he is ruined in the eyes of his family and community . This cultural
value dictates why tunisian peoples have always raise the slogan of honor and
dignity as a principal right in the revolution .
3- Privacy:
Tunisian rarely talk about anything that is personal .it's considered to be
rude to ask too many personal questions although asking about somebody's family
is generally considered to be good manners
