“This newly autonomous Africa faces massive challenges, including extreme poverty, illness, desertification, malnutrition and the awful toll taken by ongoing regional conflict. It has been a long hard struggle. And as good neighbors, the global community is there to help.” This quote is talking about some common issues in Africa which other communities are helping solve. This seems important with the fact that other places are realizing what is going on around the world, but also that they see ways to change an environment.

A concerning issue is how quickly Africa is growing with populations! Now, some communities are helping, but it isn’t enough with the speed of growth that Africa is going through. If there were groups in Africa that taught them how to be “responsible”, maybe there wouldn’t be as many issue with overpopulation, food shortages, little water, and multiple other things. Although you can go up to every person and tell them the dangers of overpopulation, they may not change due to the fact that they are near to that state. …show more content…

Even though Mandela had many struggles, which included being arrested, taken to court while being accused of murder, being banned from your own home, and many other things, he pushed through to be able to help the people of Africa. Mandela’s strategies to help Africa included protesting, showing up at public performances/events to give speeches, and marching to be able to peacefully “grab” the attention of the government. He also had said once before, that if those strategies did not work, he would resort to other methods, but everyone took that in the wrong way and thought he had become a terrorist or already

This shows that he was willing to do anything to stand up against the injustice of apartheid and all of the wrongdoings that were being carried out in South Africa. He uses logic when he talks about how it is unfair that one race is held at a higher prestige than other races. Mandela uses pathos throughout the speech by convincing you that the whites are being unjust to the blacks. He displays all three in a very convincing manner. He also uses his language and his use of sophisticated words to show that African Americans are being treated inhumanely, or like dogs when in reality a lot of those people are very smart and deserve to be treated fairly as human

According to the text of My world geography book “Africa has 56.9% of citizens with AIDS/HIV” this shows that Africans have no help from anyone or have anyone to help provide clean water or cures/ways to help make it easier to live with a disease.

Nelson Mandela was no exception from being a good leader when it comes to his bravery to undergo harsh difficulties. Throughout his life, Mandela constantly had to reveal the heroism hidden within him, in order to go through tough situations or make onerous decisions thrown at him, not just in the political field, but also in his ordinary life. At the age of 9, Nelson Mandela’s father passed away, so in order to continue his schooling, he was sent miles away from home and his beloved family. Even in a much more sophisticated and unfamiliar environment with no relatives to take care and look after him, Nelson Mandela was still determined to study and give himself a good education for his future.

The association of poverty with Africa goes together like apple pie and America. From the advertisements of malnourished, African children to our education, or rather lack of education, about African countries in the American school system, the concept of Africa as an impoverished continent has been engrained into our minds. This rhetoric of Africa has lasted over decades, with a substantial amount of aid being given to African countries to rectify this problem. And yet, sixteen of the world’s poorest countries were identified as being in sub-Saharan Africa as of 2013. This insinuates that foreign countries and organizations that provide aid, need to reevaluate why aid isn’t making a bigger impact at fixing the problem.

In addition, it silences Africans voices as most of the time, the Africans in the campaigns are always quiet while the westerners talk about how if people just donate 25 cents, they can save a child in Africa. Additionally, these campaigns often neglect to show the developed African areas and the different fifty-four African countries but instead focus on the impoverished areas while other media romanticizes Africa as a beautiful place to go on vacations, specifically safaris as it is home to many wild animals. This creates a different perspective of what Africa and cause Africans to lose control over their own identity based on the way they are represented by the media. The western countries are the ones who now tell the African story while neglecting the voices of the African people. Consequently, this form of epistemic violence leads to Anti-Black racism toward

Mandela had a commitment to millions of South Africans that he would help them even if it meant he couldn’t help the people he knew and loved. Mandela states, “In life, every man has twin obligations-obligations to his family, to his parents, to his wife and children; and he has an obligation to his people, his community, his country... But in a country like South Africa, it was almost impossible for a man of my birth and color to fulfill both of these obligations.” Mandela sacrificed time with his family and friends that he knew and loved to stand up for the freedom of his people.
