He was an idealist in the sense that we are aware of the real world and a transcendent because he thought that ultimate reality goes beyond our sense experience. He believed that there are certain things that we couldn’t gain from sense experience alone e.g. a sense of time and space. Kant thought everything was bound by time and space. If we didn’t have intuitions of space and time there would be no experience at all so we must possess some innate knowledge in order for us to live within it.
[Transition: From these horrible statistics, I wanted to learn a bit more about why this wasn’t being addressed] B. When I did a little more research I found that many people in Africa were in denial. 1. A lot of this denial is due to South Africa’s former president Thambo Mbeki and is disbelief that HIV lead to
During imperialism, Europeans went into Africa and stripped its land of its resources and this also changed the climate negatively. After stripping Africa of its resources the Europeans left, which left a political power vacuum making it easy for warlords and drug lords to take control. This is how Africa attracted issues like Rwanda and the problems in Somalia today. Africa is now stripped of natural resources which makes it difficult to create a normal lifestyle for inhabitants. Another barrier that does not allow Africa to develop into a prosperous continent is agricultural issues.
The al-Shabaab militant group has become known around the world in the past few months for their infamous acts involving Somalia. The militants Involved with this group are making it increasingly hard to reach the people of Somalia who are still living in drought and famine conditions. Barricades and walls have been built by these such militants causing major problems for the aid groups trying to help stranded refugees. In addition, fighting has begun on the border of Somalia and Kenya due to the al-Shabaab and their plans to regain “several chunks of territory” (Gettleman, “Fighting Erupts on Border”) they had lost in the past month to the Somalian Government. Due to the fighting a majority of the Somalis retained in camps in Kenya were forced to leave and scatter among the devastation, some fleeing as far as the other side of the border, on Somalia’s soil.

Then Kloby helps us look at real examples of different times in which colonialism has hurt Africans more than helped them. All of these authors have come to one clear consensus: colonialism has ultimately destroyed Africa’s chances of becoming a great and powerful continent. In Mies’ essay, she tends to be very pessimistic about the Africa being able to “catch-up” to other already developed countries. Mies says that, “the poverty of the underdeveloped nations is not as a result of ‘natural’ lagging behind but the direct consequence of the overdevelopment of the rich industrial countries who exploit the so-called periphery in Africa” (151). She denies that possibility that Africa can catch up by following the same path of industrialization, technological progress, and capital accumulation as the more developed countries have used.
Like all other societies, Batswana has had negative perceptions and views about mental illness and mentally ill persons. In Botswana, mental illness constitutes only one disease entity called ‘madness’. Persons showing signs of mental illness used to be laughed at, rebuked and ostracized. In addition, families with persons who show signs of mental illness are still discriminated against and stigmatized. Also, the inequalities and disparities in the distribution and allocation of resources in mental health are indicative of the less important status accorded to this population group.
I would not say that I am spoiled because I work hard for the things that I have and am very appreciative. Last, recognition and being acknowledged is extremely significant; I love doing things for others and making others happy. I get a great feeling when I can help someone and I get great joy from seeing the look on someone’s
