Families eat together around a large bowl at mealtime.

Ghanaians may be wild at some times, which can make for animated arguments and celebrations, but are generally warm, extremely friendly, and sociable—even with strangers. Ghanaians tend to take life at a relaxed pace, viewing time as a series of events rather than a matter of hours or minutes. “Take time” is a common phrase indicating that things need not be rushed. Tolerance and acceptance are typical individual characteristics.

Group (family and community) needs come before personal desires. For example, a person who earns a salary often shares his or her income with family members, and remittances from Ghanaians working abroad sometimes support entire families.
