Why We SHOULD Care About Africa
I think we should care about Africa just as much as we care about all the other continents. It is part of this world isn't it? Africa is just as important to the world as anyone else. It gives us crops, animals, people, just like all the other places around it. If we didn't have Africa, we would realize how important it is to the world. There is so many people on this planet that have some African descent, and people make the world what it is. It's not like Africa doesn't give to the world. It gives so many animals to the rest of the world, so much knowledge about the rest of the world. If we don't care about the problems and issues in Africa will soon not be able to move on, evolve really. Every single place can make a difference, every person can make a difference, so Africa can make a difference.

We should care about Africa as if it was North America for me. People still do live there and we have gotten a lot of things from Africa. So Africa should be cared about and taken care of since it is part of us.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex and Kyle that Africa does contributes a lot to the world, however I don't seek that as the main reason for us to turn our attention to this unpeaceful part of the globe. As Mr.Sykes said in class, the reasons for Africa to remain poor in modern society is because their geographic location; Europeans’ colonization of Africa, and the corruption in the governments of Africa. Can we solve these problems? NO! So we should try to do something else for these nations, for these who are in the pain of losing relatives from war; discontinuing their study career because government was not putting money into education, etc. I remembered that the main point of the first class I studied in morality in China was “Human beings are equal’. African and we all live under the same sky, we share the same environment around the world. Therefore, we should serve Africans fairly as the same way to any people from other continents. Moreover, we should even put more attention into this continent, because people there are having much problem which they don’t have the ability to solve them, in fact some of these problems are the main ones to obstruct human to improve. Since we want to make progress in our road of civilization, why would we leave Africa out?
ReplyDeleteI think we should care about Africa for many different reasons. Africa offers the world's most precious resources. We should care about Africa because it offers just as much to the world as any other country. Africa still has a chance to evolve into a country with so much potential. We need to pay attention to Africa and acknowledge it. African are fellow humans and we should try and help them, recover and prosper.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kevin, Alex, Jeffery, and David's comments, which all state how important is for us to care about Africa. First of all, Africa is the second largest continent, and one that offers many resources, such as its oil, rubber, mountains, and vast rain forests. But Africa is not only rich in resources, but its is also rich in culture and heart, which is shown through traditional African song and dance. In addition to resources and culture, we should care about Africa because of their immense suffering. Ever since the late 1800s, and even before, the continent has struggled with a corrupt government, tough geography, and European colonization. It is our job to be concerned about Africans, who lack basic necessities like food, water, and shelter, and have no political power or democratic government. It is time for us to repent for how we have hurt Africa, and help them deal with their daily struggles. Like David said, Africa can still become the powerhouse of a continent it has potential to be, especially with our help.
ReplyDeleteAfrica deffinitley should be cared about as much as the rest of the world. There are great things that that continent does for us......as kyle and Jeff said it is a lot about crops it grows many crops and live stock. Africa really is a great continent to have for the reasons that it is a beautiful and prosperous (dont know if thats the right word or spelling) continent.
ReplyDeleteWe should care about Africa as much as any other continent because the people and children in the world should all be equal. If kids were being put on the front lines in war in any other continent people would join together to stop the wars. I feel because they are in Africa and are so poor the other people of the world don’t acknowledge them as equals like we do with people from continents like Europe. We need to care about Africa because there are so many great things about the country like there culture which Abby mentioned and the resources we gain from them.
ReplyDeleteAfricans are people too, why should they be treated differently then others? Just because they are poor does not mean that they are not as smart, athletic, or talented as we are. Africa is also a continent full of great resources and rich culture. The african people are some of the most spiritual and down to earth people in the world, if not the most. I agree with many others who posted before me in that we could all really learn alot from the Africans and the way they value friendship, family, and culture.
