In the beginning of the 20th century, 500,000 rhinoceros roamed through Africa and Asia and only range from five species: Sumatran rhino, black rhino, white rhino, javan rhino, and Indian rhino. Out of these five species, the most iconic is the black rhino. Known for their two horns and hook-lipped, black rhinos live in the lower half of Africa, separating into two subspecies: Western black rhinos and Eastern black rhinos. However, in 1970, it was recorded that there were only around 65,000…

1.3 HISTORY OF GLOBALIZATION IN AFRICA Odozor states that the tools of Globalization are colonization and missionary event. The process by which the world is turning more and more into “a single place” dates back to pre-colonial times when groups began to interact with each other either to trade or to engage in battle with each other in search of slaves. The missionary movements of various religions and colonization have contributed more than any other phenomenon to draw Africa into the global…

African Poetess I wanted to start off this essay with a nuanced about Phillis Wheatley. About how she not only contributed to the Revolutionary period of U.S. history, but helped shape how it was founded. How through her strength of courage and belief of liberty and peace she able to gain her freedom. You know these things already, she is one of our Founding Mothers. She’s right up there with Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Betsy Ross and Mum-Bet. So why am I writing this essay? Why do I…

Throughout history, Trinidad and Tobago have encountered an immense amount of deterrents for justice and equality. I’ve observed instances of these obstacles especially during the 1970’s where Trinidad and Tobago experienced a Black Power Revolution.

This ‘revolution’ was preceded by some form of injustice, inequality, oppression and…

Human trafficking is a particularly cruel type of slavery because it removes the victim from all that is familiar to her, rendering her completely isolated and alone, often unable to speak the language of her captors or fellow…

Even though slavery was abolished many years ago, a numerous amount of people may not know there are still many people that are affected and victims of it today. This slavery is called human trafficking and it is a worldwide problem, even the state of Colorado is impacted greatly. A great number of people do not know the reality of how many individuals are affected by human trafficking; with Denver being one of the major hubs, Colorado citizens need to raise awareness to help end this modern day…

Both agree than black men had a rough go of it in the slave days, but that was nothing compared to being a black slave woman. Harriet Jacobs makes the point that “slavery is terrible for men, but it is far more terrible for women” (p. 618). The enslaved men are treated like animals, whipped, beaten, and starved until they keel over and die, but female slaves, especially the unfortunately beautiful ones, “have wrongs…

cotton. Writing of such topics is what the book is primarily about, as he expresses why the history of cotton is so important today and revealing harsh information of capitalists, and what capitalism was five hundred or so years ago. Mentions of slavery were to be included as they had an extremely large influence with the history of cotton and the empire it was built on. The book although long, was not so boring because it really did teach the reader beyond what is learned in a text book.…

The concept itself has many connotations, ranging from simple desires like food and human interaction, to the extreme, being greed. It has been proposed that desire is a form of slavery each and every one of us is a victim to. No one can live without it and it controls us from the inside, out.
