The word Zimbabwe comes from the Shona term zimba remabwe, meaning “the house of stones.” The term refers to the stone structures that characterized Great Zimbabwe and represents power and permanence for today's Zimbabweans. In urban areas, cosmopolitan ideals tend to prevail, while rural customs and attitudes are more traditional. Zimbabweans are generally friendly, cheerful, and courteous. While open and enthusiastic among friends, they tend to be more cautious and reserved with strangers. Humility is esteemed. Referring to someone using the wrong name or gender or calling an elder by first name in public is viewed as shameful. It is considered impolite to convey unpleasant news, so conversation steps around it. Kinship, friendship, and extended family relations are very important. Economic uncertainties have led many to develop a sense of “living for today,” where money is quickly spent or borrowed and future consequences of current choices are not always considered.
