Shaka

Zulu is an ethnic group in Africa, they are said to be the largest ethnic group in South Africa. Most Zulus are located near the KwaZulu-Natal region. The Zulus are really famous for their “fighting spirit” and also for their beaded crafts and basketry. Their main language is Bantu, but there are many languages that come under that. In this essay I wanted to discuss some environmental problems that Zulus go through, and also relate to the problems that African Americans have gone through in the past. One of the biggest environmental problems Zulus face is lack of water. This has been a problem when it started raining less than it used to.

Ted talks “why your worst deeds don’t define…

This gift consisted of a gilded bronze Buddha and sutras written in Chinese. From this gift and the Emperor’s subsequent conversion to Buddhism many changes came from the…
