Spirituality has various definitions between races, cultures, and environments, it is important to define spirituality and to understand the context in which it connects with the demographic spirituality is interacting in. The authors define spirituality as an amalgamation of prevailing thought, which consists of individual beliefs that may or may not be associated with a religious institution, but yet provides meaning to an individual's life. Black male community college students use familial, aspiration, social, and linguistic capitals throughout their daily interactions with society and the world, to understand how spiritually and God, influences their lives, academic accomplishments, and behaviors.
