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.
