Hotel rwanda

Before this happened all the countries seemed to have a fine relation with Rwanda. But when Rwanda's need was dire, they turned their backs. The U.N people took out all the foreign nationals and went away. even the U.N left this shows how selfish we are. How are we different from animals? Do we actually deserve what we get? Is this what humanity has come to?

The Scramble for Africa

France = Blue
Great Britain = Red
Germany=Black
Belgium=Yellow
Spain=Orange
Netherlands=Purple
Portugal=Green

In our scramble for Africa session it could be argued that Great Britain and France won. This because they had strategic land as well as lots of land.

The losers would be either Belgium or spain because they had very few strategic areas and very barely any squares of land.

I noticed that during the game we never thought of what Africans might want, we just got what we wanted. Just like that when imperialism occured in Africa no one cared what the Africans wanted. So the real winners were the Europeans and the real losers were the Africans!

A Thought Provoking Step in Africa

The main visual elements are obviously the foot step and the shape of Africa. Also the parched land in the area of the footstep is a visual element.
The issue this picture represents is the effect of European imperialism on Africa. It has a negative attitude towards imperialism. The footstep in Europe's footprint. It shows that imperialism has left left a permanent mark on Africa. Up to this point the picture gives no view of imperialism. What makes it negative is the parched land inside the footprint. The parched land shows that the Europeans have taken every thing away from them. Their natural resources, traditions, and religions. As nothing is left behind the land is parched, barren, wasteland. The author also chose black as the color for Africa. This was to show the racist discrimination in Europe. Africa was called by the Europeans the dark land.
If I were to emphasize to meaning of this I would make more footprints with parched land to show that the effect was even worse.
But in my own view I would not agree with the message the picture conveys. Their were also some countries in Africa which experienced a positive side of imperialism. Like my research country, Tanzania which experienced a overall positive side of imperialism.

MR. HeLP

MR. HeLP is a good way to remember the five themes of geography.

Movement- how people, goods or ideas move from one place to another.

"spinning into darkness" /They move from Africa to London

Region- Group of locations that have something in common.

in school /Sade and Mariam are both from africa

Human Environmental Interaction - how we impact the environment, how it impacts us

in front of building /colder climate in London affects them because they are used to be in warmer climate

Location - absolute or relative point of station

throughout the time they are in london /London

Place - what it is like in a give place

/school in Nigeria very strict, not like school in London

Imperialism in art

The main visual elements are the man with the top hat and the arms grabbing the different countries.
The cartoon shows the imperialism england is doing. It is trying to show that england has its hands full in imperialism. The author obviously feels negatively about what England is doing. It is shown by the top hat which is a symbol of greed and too much wealth. The artist could have made the person ugly to show the evil. The contrast is great as your eyes immediately center in on the man with the hat. Repetition is also used effectively with the multiple arms. Although there is no alignment it seems as it is not required.

Does violence lead to more violence

I agree that violence leads to more violence. A example from Julius Caesar is when the conspirators kill Caesar. Soon people were chase them with knifes. Then a whole war started! A real world example is WW2 . Once Germany stared to conquer a whole war started.

A good leader thinks first about his/her people, then about himself/herself. Take Mahatma Gandhi for example. He cared about his country so much that he barely attended to his personal needs. A good leader should not be arrogant at all. He/she should be a idol for people. Also she/he should take other peoples suggestions.

Some leaders in our school are:
Lucas Hille because he is not arrogant, he is not shy, and he is a good talker.

Joel Witt because he can get the job done.

Farah Weanenara because she takes peoples suggestions as a slams rep.

I will add more to the list as I see more leaders.
