Education is the most serious part of social, because have a good education will help country develop in the future. But if one country that do not have strong education so that country will not have professors and techniques workers to help country develop.

There are several disadvantages of Africa education. Many countries in Africa are in the civil war or have oppositions to do some threating things, so their government needs to pay all of their attention on how to win the civil war and how to deal with the opposite faction, so they do not have any attention or economic ability to build up the education.

That is why they do not have only little free education for citizens.

    Although the !Kung San of southern Africa differ greatly from the people in the west African nation of Mali, both areas share similar problems. Both suffer from diseases, illnesses, malnutrition, and having to adapt to the ever changing and advancing cultures around them. What I found to be the most significant problem that is shared between both areas is that the people suffered from a lack of education. In the book Dancing Skeletons: Life and Death in West Africa by Katherine A. Dettwyler, there is a lack of education in proper nutritional practices, taking care of children and newborns, and basic medical knowledge and practices. The Dobe Ju/’hoansi have recently started putting in schools to help children receive an education to help them have better success with the surrounding peoples and culture, but there is a lack of attendance in these schools. There are also many education issues in proper sexual practices that would help stop the spread of HIV and AIDS, in a place in the world were theses illnesses are at surprisingly high levels.

    Africa’s key to becoming a civilized nation was because the government functioned, people could cooperate efficiently, and substantial amounts of data from travellers show how civilized Africa was. In Document 4, it states,“They are seldom unjust, and have a greater abhorrence [hatred] of injustice than any other people. Their sultan shows no mercy to anyone who is guilty of the least act of it. There is complete security in their country. Neither traveler nor inhabitant in it has anything to fear from robbers.” This is what each separate civilization at the time was able to achieve by themselves. Like any other country, there were conquests, inventions and military expenditures that further benefitted the progress that they made in becoming

  • Stereotypical Africa vs. Real Africa

    As a prelude to writing this essay, I would like to admit that I have never been to Africa. Further, my opinion about the “black continent” has been shaped by what I have seen or read in media. When I think about Africa, the images that first come to mind are; various wildlife programs on National Geographic channel; Michael Jackson’s music video “Black or White”; various campaigns by world leaders to eradicate poverty; and dictators and ethnic strife. And off course the campaign against apartheid in South Africa. I don’t know for what reason, but the image I get does not include the northern Arabic influenced part of Africa. As if that was a separate continent. Maybe it has got to do with how media perceives that region.

  • European Imperialism In Africa In The 20th Century

    A true saying is “Colonization often does more damage than contribution.” Colonialism encouraged Africa’s development in some areas, but in many others it severely damaged the natural progress of the continent. If colonialism was never imposed on Africa, Africa’s developments would be significantly different and many of the problems that the continent faces now would not exist today. In conclusion, at first it seems that colonialism has both positive and negative effects, but the truth is it only damages the colonized nation.

    For most of the Africans they change they wanted to see after independence were economic. The problem is the economy that the Europeans left behind. Europeans left Africa in worse shape when it comes to the economy then before they came. The European abused the Africans they tricked them into thinking they were there to help, but that was not the case. They used their resources for their own benefit. But the worse thing the Europeans did was put the African in dept. African leader inherited economies that were reliant on on the international market. Agricultural crops and mineral due to colonialism limited colonies to production of just those raw materials. Therefore each colony on exported a few different goods so they were subject to a rise in prices. According to Watson “most goods that newly independent countries exported earned less than the goods they imported. This imbalance- paying more for imports than a country earns in exports-drove many African countries into dept.”(Watson). By the European not caring about the better good of Africa they drove them right into dept... Going back to education, the new African leaders had no idea how to properly deal with a felling economy. The European powers made each African colony dependent on the production of only a handful of goods. Which in the end made European grate profits. So now that African leaders are in charge they have all this dept. on their hands. As stated in the article “Colonization and Independence in Africa”, “Africans were at grate disadvantage in this trade, because prices for raw material were significantly lower than the prices of manufactured goods”(Colonization). The money that was coming in was less than the money going out. Africa was left with an economic unbalance. Also the population went up but not enough jobs. Therefor Africa had to work harder to work

  • Colonialism In Africa Essay

    During the colonization period in Africa there really was not many positive impacts of colonialism on Africa except modernization. Colonialism took modernization to regions of the world that were technologically undeveloped. Modernization plans contained stuff like building railroads for accessible trade, required medical advancements and schools accommodating a more modern education. These approaches supported inexperienced nations straighten out their universal status as midpoints for trade. The improvements to education gave a chance for immigrant students to compete with foreign students in fields such as literature, art, math and science. One other thing that had a positive impact on colonialism was taking poor traditions from countries to an end. During the development of colonialism, the governing nation had the capability to improve or destroy certain social beliefs of the region. For example, once India got colonized, the long lasting practice of Sati was destroyed in India. Ian Smith is right with what he says because if there was no colonialism, Africa would not be modernized and would not be able to keep up with other countries in the world. Some other positive things they left behind were things like roads, railroads, some Hospitals and also schools had been built for the good of the colonizers but when they left basically nobody knew how to run them. Another positive impact of colonialism on Africa was that the colonial powers brought in a productive system of administration in the country. It gave...
