The Convention on the Rights of the Child, established a legal and ethical instrument for promoting and protecting the rights of children.

Cultural Perceptions of Time in Africa Time is a foundational factor in every culture. The perception of time is different for most cultures and the determining factor to those differences is often based on the means of production.
