Continent

is typically thought of as one united front, instead of having a diverse group of countries with a variety of citizens and beliefs. Outsiders only learn about Africa through travelers, who often tell stories about particular areas, not the whole continent, and through school, which does not teach about modern Africa, but a slight insight into the history of Africa. The book Looking for Lovedu, by Ann Jones, suggests that westerners/outsiders are ignorant towards many aspects of Africa. One…

The continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea but then a force caused the continents to move them apart. The first piece of evidence used for this theory was that Africa and South America fitted together like it was a jigsaw puzzle. The next piece of evidence was that in South America and Africa there are fossils found in rocks of the same age and type. Additionally, in those two landmasses, there are corresponding early mammal fossils found. Again, there are identical…

It’s the same routine over and over. Traveling constantly, shining a light everywhere I go for everyone to see. They go on their happy way while I do the same thing over and over, day after day. But it is what I am meant to do, travel around the world and see countless places and people with endless possibilities. I have so much space around me to move and a perfect view of the world that keeps growing every second. Around and around, seeing the same things that end up changing. First my…

To being with, Africa is one of the largest continents in the world. Just like any other country, Africa goes through its good and bad day when it comes to economic and financial stability. With out those factors situations can go down hill and have different countries go through issues when it comes to a countries economy or being in debt. In the Sub-Saharan region of Africa there was over millions of individuals that joined a Labor force for job opportunities. Sub-Saharan economies export raw…

represent a woman and her beauty in the first stanza and then transitions into referring to the whole continent of Africa. Angelou describes the hardships of violence and slavery Africa has underwent over the years. She also refers to the fact the religion had been forced upon the people of Africa. Although Africa has been through a lot, it refuses to let that stop it from becoming a thriving continent. Africa will rise up and move on from these awful tragedies. Angelou uses language,…

James Cook was an English explorer in the 1700s who was in search of the “Southern Continent” which he didn’t believe really existed. He went on three big expeditions; the first was from 1768 to 1771, when he sailed from Plymouth, England to Brazil, around Cape Horn, Africa, and to Tahiti where he stayed for a while, then to New Zealand, Australia, and Java to prove they weren’t part of a larger southern continent. His second expedition took him to Antarctica and many of the same places from…

important trading partner (Tull). But China’s increased engagement in Africa has drawn sharp criticism from political analysts. While some are quick to highlight that China’s engagement in Africa has led to poverty reduction and faster growth on the continent, others portray China’s relationship with Africa as exploitive and one-sided. But as Sino-African relations continue to develop politically, economically, and militarily, it is clear that China-Africa relations are neither entirely…

5 billion, Africa is single handedly destroying all other political powers in the world. I firmly believe that Africa does not have a bright future due to the fact that governments can not supply sufficient enough care to so many people that the continent holds. For the present and past history of of Sub-Saharan countries has economically plummeted resulting in being the world’s poorest countries. As well as the degree of corruption…

Continental Drift Gondwana was an ancient supercontinent that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. It was made of many continents that we know today. It broke up a long time ago because of something called Continental Drift. Continental drift is what it is called when the tectonic plates move around and rearrange and reshape the continents. Gondwana was made up of 5 main pieces; Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica. Gondwana existed roughly 300-180 million…

Continental Drift Theory. He spent many years looking for clues from the past to support his idea of drifting continents. Alfred discovered many plants and fossils in many different Continents that where supposedly all together, at one time when they were together it was called Pangaea (Pangaea is the name for what included all current land masses, believed to have been in existence before the continents broke apart during the Jurassic Periods). For example some fossil evidence he found was the…
