In fact, we have noticed that the western colonization which symbolizes a huge cultural aggression against the African societies in general, has brought about big transformations in Africa in general and in Soninkara particularly. Since this historical event, the society of the Soninke people has been undergoing a huge cultural influence of the whites through the capitalist system, the French school and the modernism. The traditions and the way of life of the Soninke people keep changing under a bad contamination of the modern Western civilization characterized especially by liberty (freedom of speech and opinion) and a so-called equality between the individuals. And things have started falling apart in Soninkara hence the social conflicts and the loss of good values. %K Social %K Mutations %K Soninke %K Society %K Western %K Colonization %K Cultural Aggression %K African %K Transformations %K < %K i> %K Soninkara< %K /i> %K Historical %K Event %K Influence %K Whites %K Capital %K System %K French %K School %K Modernism %K Traditions %K Way %K Life %K Contamination %K Modern %K Civilization %K Liberty %K Equality %K Individuals %K Conflict %K Loss %K Value %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=125037
