Huge Difference Between America And Africa
Now that I am back, I’ve realized the huge difference between America and Africa. Back there, everyone was happy no matter the circumstance. The homeless man in the streets at night and the rich man with the nice car all share the same amount of gratitude. There was barely any known cases of stress or mental breakdowns it was all about living life to the fullest and never forgetting to be grateful for what you have. That trip made me realize how much we take things for granted starting from our education; people back home would kill for an opportunity like

    I learned a lot about my country’s relation to the U.S., African countries, and other continents. It was also eye-opening and altered my once stereo-typical view of Africa. African countries have functional governments and economic systems similar to the United States. Of course some governments are more “dictating” than others, but it is important to remember that Africa is not a completely disease filled, desert/jungle like land.…

    The “discovery” of the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1492 linked the worlds of Europeans, West Africans and Native American Indians. The Portuguese and Spaniards led the colonization of the Americas, but were soon followed by the French, English and Dutch. The slave trade created a trading triangle in between Europe, Africa and the Americas. European and West African societies are similar in their hierarchal social order, involvement in the slave trade and farming societies; yet differ in religious organization and expansionist policies. When comparing Europe to Native American Indians, they share an involvement in trade and farming, while differing in religions and government.…

    It’s wonderful to see how two very distinct individuals, meaning different culture, have so much passion for Africa. Taking their time to plan, travel and even learn 50 words of that tribe/group before they entered. Ten years of documenting, traveling and living with these groups must have become their only priority. I find grace and true selflessness in how Beckwith and Fisher would help these villages with the concept as stated in the article: “And our goal wasn’t to give them something that would depend on us to maintain but, rather, to help them with something that they could have for themselves, totally apart from us.” The ceremonies which stand out to Beckwith and Fisher from their travel are amazing, I believe we have to realize we live in a society (U.S) that is very individualist, and these villages work together in everything, teaching each other and hopefully passing on the culture.…

    The reading about the indigenous people thought me how labels are used as an excuse to mistreat people. As the reading explain the term indigenous was only created to dehumanized and the over the land. Because the natives from American were not Christians they were not considered real people and with the help of the Pope, the European nations took over the land regardless that there were people already leaving there. It’s also interesting to see the used of indigenous as a nations, state or peoples. They should be able to represent themselves and their tribes and identify themselves with what it’s most convenient and useful for them. They need to be protected and be able to maintain their cultural identities.…

    For the Africans this was barely a time of growth, for the negatives outweighed the positives. They were stripped of their independence and oneness, and they saw their own country deteriorate before them. Even though this type of colonialism led the Africans through slavery and misery, they were still a people of soul and were enlightened to grow through new education, new trade opportunities, and new culture…

    If my roommate had made such statements about Africa out of ignorance, I would not be surprised. Many Americans have preconceived ideas about what Africa is like, despite never being immersed in its culture. This is perpetuated through media outlets such as movies, magazines, etc. in popular culture. As outsiders, we make generalizations and think that Africa is a land of starvation, desert, poverty, and many other negative aspects. However, our thoughts could not be more wrong. Africa is a wonderful place, but is under negative judgment by many people who lack the knowledge to understand the continent. Many of these notions can be disproved with just a small amount of research. This kind of judgment is simply not fair, and Africa deserves…
