My Visit To Sub-Saharan America
Sub-Saharan Africa:
On my adventurous Journey around the world, I took a visit to Sub-Saharan Africa. The first country I came to was Somalia.While staying in Somalia, there is mostly plateaus, plains and highlands. Far north are the Karkaar Mountains, near the Gulf of Aden coastline. The whole country is as well slightly smaller if you compare it to Texas. Also, the terrain is mostly flat, and includes deserts. In this country , the climate varies throughout some months such as in December to January it is moderate temperature in the North and hot in the South.

I visited here because of its amazing architecture from hundreds of year ago in Shanghai. Now the next country I visited was Chad.The city is mostly mountainous such as the Tibesti Mountains that stretch across and dominate most of the country and is also surrounded by great deserts like the Sahara that covers almost all of Chad. Now, temperatures do vary depending upon the area but are mostly hot and tropical climate throughout the year. However, the Southern rainy seasons come in during May through October. Also, the Central rains come through from June to September. In addition, while walking through some of the cities in the evening , I experienced cooler temperature and cooler climate. Some of the experiences i went on were Chad’s national museum because it took me through a historical journey of Chad. Also, I had gone through a safari experience in the “Zakouma National Park”,and went here because of its beautiful safari animals. Now their government is almost similar to the U.S. being that it is a “presidential system”. This means that the country or state is run by a president. I chose to visit these countries because of their diversity in lush oasis and lakes , as

    1) Bill Young believes that because his employees were not responsible for the 9/11 attacks, they should not have to suffer loss of income as a consequence. Businesses are always subject to economic forces over which they have little or no control. Should the business response to something like the 9/11 attacks be any different from the response to “normal” fluctuations in the business cycle? If so, why and how? If not, why not? How does the example set by Aaron Feuerstein influence your decision?…

    After the Cold War and World War II many changes took place all across the world. The catalyst for Sub-Saharan Africa reshaping its national identity was Ghana becoming emancipated from British rule in 1957. The national identity for a country or even a region is tied in with that particular area’s overall success. Ghana and Kenya were greatly impacted by this new forming identity. In order to make Sub-Saharan Africa a better place some things were required to change and others were allowed to continue on. A series of things helped reshape Africa such as new found equality, nationalism, and the transition from a series of distressed countries to one unified nation.…

    On page 15 it states “When it rains lands fill with standing water and our villages and our villages become like swamps. When the rain stops, the land dries to dust and the sun burns very, very hot.” Most of the time where I live it gets very cold during the winter time and very hot during the summer time, but not as hot as in Sudan.…

    During the period of 600 BCE to 600 CE, the Bantu-speaking Africans gradually began to interact with humans and the environment by settling into varying parts of West and East Africa and creating a network with their neighbors in order to receive new technologies and foods. The Bantu exchanged goods with local hunter-gatherers, and the people cut into forests and settled down into villages. The Assyrians first brought iron to Egypt around 600 BCE and it quickly spread to Sub-Saharan Africa. Around 200 CE, Indonesians settled on the coast bringing Asian bananas and, since they had a higher yield than African bananas, they spread inland and improved the food supply. People from southern Arabia established settlements on the coast near the Ethiopian highlands and through mixing with local residents, formed a new language known as Ge'ez (later Axum).…

    Africa and the Atlantic world explores the trials and tribulations of Africans being forced from their homeland and sold into slavery. Africans endured such hardships and conditions that their souls vanished with the site of mother Africa. Europeans sold and forced slaves to cultivate sugar plantations for their own profits. The Americas, Europe and Africa were involved in a cross continental system of human trafficking. African men, woman and children were shipped across the Atlantic to the Americas. Africans who survived being rapped, malnutrition, dehydration and being tortured on the voyage were sold to European masters and forced to be slaves on plantations.…

    Imperialization came about through the necessity of resources for industrialization and began in the 19th century when industrial progress drove nations to search for new markets for their products. The competition that was fueled by these nations would have lead to all out war without treaties and agreements being made on the side of the conquerors, however, at no time did they consider the desires of the conquered. They did not just claim land, but create social structures similar to theirs, which they believed superior. Many Europeans believed that these “savages” should be civilized and in many cases a group of humanitarians brought in their christian god. These Ethnocentric attitudes led to beliefs of racism and a superiority the…

    West African Culture

    Richard Franke argues that traditional West African cultures invented better adaptations to their environments than were developed later through outside, Western Influences. As is stated in the first page, "the historical record so far suggests strongly that Western policies have been major contributors to the current degraded state of the Sahel that renders its food production systems so vulnerable to shifts in the weather." (Franke, p. 257) The thought, is that this is because we do not have the historical background or scientific knowledge to do what was envisioned. The relationship between the herder and the farmer is very important and something that you have to be very careful with when trying to find a solution.…

    When first thinking of Africa not many people think of the great ancient African civilizations that shaped our world today. The movie the Wonders of the African World opened up my eyes to the amazing Black Kingdoms that were built in Africa and their advanced civilizations. The histories of these kingdoms have been ignored by many, for example the Nubian people had built great pyramids just as Egypt did and yet these people didn’t get the recognition for it. In fact, in ancient times these people were the most intelligent civilizations in the world, they even had universities in Meroe the capital of ancient Nubia along with huge temples and their own form of writing. The saddest part of all this is that there were many intelligent and sophisticated black rulers of ancient Africa and people are reluctant to accept this because of the great surge of racism.…

    When I moved to Africa, I was welcomed as a westerner. An American, as I am and I was treated unfairly for just that reason. At school I was completely excluded by the locals. I was seen as privileged, a privileged American who in essence "Had it All". One, who couldn't relate to what they were going through on a daily basis just as a means to survive. They were wrong. My parents both come from third world countries, from very little and with hard work, and against the odds became what they are today. I was raised on a specific set of teachings. To not ever take anything for granted. I am very lucky to be where I am today. One could say it is inherently difficult to fully understand what my peers were going through, as I am not in their situation…
