African studies

cultures that Africans conform to. Befuddled by the idea that the majority of African cultures lacked physical textual history, explorers lost interest and some began to spread hearsay about African customs. Hence, methodologies used to study Africa were inaccurate, or incompetent at best. Rather than key in on textual written evidence, Europeans should have studied the importance of music and stories. Written history was largely confined to northern Africa, while the vast majority of African…

African American Studies focuses on the analytical study of the thoughts & practices of African people in the current and historical context. It aims to analyze and correct the established order that was set by the Europeans in the United States and most importantly; the world. For many, African American Studies was the pillar for which other groups can base their struggles and gain rightful representation in society. The areas that are highlighted within the curriculum aim for a cultural…

activity. The African-American community is stereotypically labelled as people suspicious of crime. Though African-Americans, Hispanics, and Whites all have a likelihood of getting pulled over by the police, African-Americans are commonly known to be the pursuit of police because of this particular stereotype. Consequently, a large majority of African-Americans are stopped and searched by police. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the search and seizure rate of African-Americans is…

Con Case The U.S. Federal Government ought to pay reparations to African Americans because… The US Government is already broke! The Government spent 1,000,000,000 dollars in 8 hours and 20 min, and at the rate the government is spending it on things like repairing roads and other stuff, they’re going to go bankrupt.

The term Pan African Orogen was used to describe the structural differentiation of Africa into cratons and mobile belts during the Neoproterozoic to earliest Paleozoic time (Kennedy, 1964). However, Kröner (1984) reformulate the term Pan-African to describe…

law cannot change beliefs. In the case of the sub-Saharan African, there is a fundamental issue with their beliefs of witchcrafts. They believe that every evil and misfortune that is incapable of rational explanation is blamed on witchcraft (P476). A people of that kind of thinking can 't be convinced otherwise by laws or rewritten laws, in other words, the codification of the law that Bentham proposes will not help the sub-Saharan African in this particular predicament. Codification essentially…

For my African-American studies class I will love to incorporate some audio and video in my course delivery. Being able to integrate this form of learning will enable my students to experience diversity in their curricular. Implementing the Modality Principle will be beneficial to my students. The Modality Principle applies in situations in which you present graphics and their verbal commentary at the same time, and particularly, when the material is complex and presented at a rapid continuous…
