all located in sub-Saharan Africa. However, Africa has large territory, so why is it so poor? If this question was asked before I took this course, I will have no clue at all. I know nothing about Africa, except that it is hot. However at this point, I can give a brief answer to this question. Land, colonization, education, disease, and nature resource are the primary causes which make Africa so poor. Africa not only has large land area, but it also has the largest desert, Saharan. As I mention…
The concept to of VFR travel is underestimated in Africa with specific reference to the Sub-Saharan region. The influx of migrants to developed countries in search of improved livelihoods had made a significant contribution to the development of regional tourism through VFR travel (Gamage and King, 1999; Feng and Page, 2000; William and Hall, 2000; Butler, 2003; O’Reilly, 2003). South African tourism focuses more on domestic than international VFR travel (Rogerson, 2015; South African Tourism…
Introduction The history of Africa was changed forever by colonialization and the possibility of this country gaining back its peace and moving beyond the periphery would be very difficult. When the Europeans entered Africa they exploited Africa for all of its resources and imposed their style of European civilization on the African people. They stablished country borders, stripped them of their rich resources, and forced tribes to merge together. Creating a war that is now amongst the African…

There is various reason that led for Christianity to spread throughout Africa. I’m going to discuss of a few reasons that helped spread Christianity in Africa.

Early tales have it that Christianity was brought from Jerusalem to Alexandria on the Egyptian coast. This is belief that it was around the same time or even before…

Africa has been a hub for many of the world’s deadliest diseases and epidemics. Diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/Aids are responsible for millions of deaths in Africa each and every year. A major contributing factor to this issue is the current healthcare system set in place. The lack of easy access, coupled with the high cost of medication and treatment makes it very difficult for African citizens to receive the medical help that they need. Africa’s extreme poverty and lack of…
The greatest challenge that humanity will face in this century is how to halt climate change in its tracks. Carbon dioxide levels are increasing, the polar ice caps are melting, the seas are rising, the weather is more extreme, and the deserts are becoming larger. Yet, population is increasing and will continue to for a long time. People are still burning fossil fuels and are, in general, eating more meat. In 2009, the per capita meat consumption in the United States was 120.20 kilograms, which…

Furthermore, Moyo uses logos as a way to support her claim with logical statistics and evidentiary support. In the article “Aid Ironies: A Response to Jeffery Sachs”, Dambisa Moyo uses both ethos and logos as a way to effectively persuade her reader that Western aid in Africa is an inefficient way to decrease the poverty existent in Africa. In her article, Moyo uses…
