    Olaudah Equiano The Middle Passage

    In the article “The Middle Passage,” the author discusses the Middle Passage of the African slave trade. The main idea of this article, is to express the appalling things the African slaves went through on the Middle Passage. The main idea is shown when the author says, “ The slaves were branded with hot irons and restrained in shackles. With 300 to 400 people packed in a tiny area with little ventilation and not even enough room to place buckets for human waste.” The quote supports the main idea of the passage because it shows how terrible the conditions really were for the slaves.…

    The Consequences Of The Braceros: The History Of Immigration

This would cause great difficulty to living a comfortable life as it was difficult to obtain food, clothes and shelter which are vital necessities for living.

As he was searching for a job one day around 1942 he overheard someone talking about this Bracero program which intrigued him. He found out that it was a program where he could be immigrated out to work in the United States.…

    The Extreme Social Aspects Of Mauritania

    Beside the extreme social aspects of Mauritania, they are in poverty because of government spending. Mauritania is in the process of modernizing its economy, but its social progress cannot keep up. Their purchase power is sliding, the wages and working conditions are at 1980s levels, and the countryside, shantytowns, and trade unions are struggling and poverty-stricken. In Animal Farm, Napoleon buys frivolous things like whiskey without having a steady stream of produce going out, which takes a huge toll on the farm and the over-producing hens. As well as being destitute, the people of Mauritania are too dependent upon their government because their first President, Moktar Ould Daddah, set up an authoritarian presidential regime and was reelected…

    Middle-Class In Africa

    Though there has been steady economic growth throughout the African continent, but there is still just a small presence of a middle class. Though democracy and entrepreneurship have at least started a middle class that was even scarcer before, Africa is still dominantly populated with very poor people and rich people. There are places, such as Accra’s financial district, which stand as good hope for Africa’s improving middle class, but there is much more poverty. In fact, the percentage of middle class people in Africa, roughly 6%, is only slightly larger since the past decade. Even the upper middle class has had minimal growth.…

    Characteristics Of Life In Tibetans, Andeans And Ethiopians

    Tibetans, Andeans and Ethiopians are three small tribes who live in high elevations and conditions that, for lowlanders, would be considered hazardous and unsafe; but for them, it is an everyday life struggle. Just like those who live in remote, extreme climates, like the Inuits, these tribes have changed their whole genetic make-up in order to survive these conditions peacefully. Communities living in high altitudes and climates could be prime examples of how to survive in the harshest environments of the world. Humans first evolved in Africa, and only until a little over 100,000 years ago they dispersed into the rest of the world. A majority of the population moved to the northern hemisphere because at that time they had discovered fire and…
