Basic Summarization
In African ethics, the concept of happiness isn’t confined to one person, but the group (Ugwuanyi, 2014, p. 520).
Direct quotation
“This notion is different from the conception of happiness in African communitarian ethics, which to a large extent ignores the plu- ral nature of human beings” (Ugwuanyi, 2014, p.520).
A paraphrase using the author’s name:
Ugwuanyi (2014) emphasized happiness in African ethics “ignores the plural nature of human beings” (p. 520).
