TRADITIONS Most Afghans practice the Islam religion. Some Pashtun practice Pashtunwali. Nauroz celebration. Celebrations include rich and spicy foods, and music

VALUES Family: In rural areas of Afghanistan life centers around the “kala”. Good manners and hospitality: A spotless house as well as elaborate food and preparations are all expected by guess when visiting. Privacy : It is considered a serious breach of respect to intervene or offer guidance to men in respect to the running of their house or other personal matters. Women are perhaps the most valued “object” in the Afghani culture. To express particular interest in another man’s female relative, may even be considered worthy of retaliation.
