In the book Nervous conditions, Tambu is a girl determined to seek a better life through education but is surprised by her parent 's decision of investing in their male kid only.

The central nervous system (CNS) controls the majority of function in the body and mind. It built up in two parts: the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the centre of our thoughts, control our external environment, and the basis of control over body movement. Its takes information from our eyes by looking , ears by sound, nose by smell , tongue by tasting, and skin by touch the object also its looks after our internal organs such as the stomach. A reflex is the simplest, and easy way for activity in the nervous system. It is an automatic, involuntary, unthinking response to a stimulus. The reflex arc are the neurons that form the path of the impulses of a reflex. Examples of reflex actions are breathing, eye blinking also moving away

Nervous conditions by Tsisti Dangarembga is about the life of Tambu, a young girls experiences as a female living in Africa. Tambu lives 20 miles west of Umtali with her two youngest sisters Netsai and Rambanai and Jeremiah and Ma’ Shingayi.

The importance of education between genders is that education allows males to provide for the family, without education living standards aren’t comfortable and can lead to being dependent on the educated for support.

Within the human anatomy, an intricate and complex network of specialised nerve fibres and neurons works in collaboration with the central nervous system and peripheral system, designed to carry out the various actions humans perform every day. The nervous system is also known as the master control unit of the human body, as it operates other major functions such as the circulatory and respiratory systems (Jakab, 2006). It is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The neurons established within the various sections of the nervous system, is structured with three main parts: a dendrite which is a cluster of branches that operates by receiving information from the

Chapter two of our textbook explains the cells of the nervous system and nerve impulses. The nervous system consists on two types of cells: neurons and glia. “Neurons receive information and transmit it to other cells” (Kalat 28) . Glia do not transmit information, but they have many different types with many different functions (Kalat 33) . Dendrites and axons both branch off from the neuron. Dendrites receive information from other neurons and axons send the information to other neurons (Kalat 30) . Dendrites and axons “can change their branching patterns as a function of experience, age, and chemical influences” (Kalat 27). Each adult has an estimate of 100 billion neurons in their brain alone (Kalat 28).

These are two very distinct types of literature, however, despite their differences, both express, in their own way, the underlying problems and injustice of sexism, especially in Africa. This is not to be interpreted that sexism is only present in Africa. Women all over the world are treated with so much neglect and looked down upon when, quite frankly, they are the most needed. Although women have an absurdly long way to go before being accepted as true equals, there is much hope for what the future

Though being a political narrative, the presence of women to strengthen the quality and reality of the novel is undeniable. Critic Abdulzarak Gurnah says: "Ngugi's writing is never far from the subject" and this is perfectly applicable for his description of the African women. However, being rather objective he also points a picture of the white women who though being secondary characters play a certain role in the novel.

Americans are privileged to live in a country enriched with infinite opportunities and resources that enable to live a comfortable daily living. Education is at the base of the foundation and grants the skills necessary to ultimately reach success. However, many countries, especially third world countries are not as fortunate and are denied the opportunities to learn and succeed due to causes such as, poverty and war. It is in these countries that both girls and women, are often the most vulnerable and are greatly affected, and many times victims of violence and injustice. This is well illustrated in Lynn Nottage’s, play Ruined, which exposes the terrifying effects of war, especially on women, and their struggle to survive in the country of Congo. Ruined shows readers the importance of education, for both girls and women, unable to learn in third world countries affected by war and poverty, which needs to be considered because education is vital for survival.

Prior to her brother’s death, Tambu’s educational aspirations were secondary to her role in the household. Nhamo’s birthright as the family’s first-born male exemplifies the injustice faced by Tambu from a young age. This disparity is further exemplified as Tambu states “the needs and sensibilities of the women in my family were not considered a priority or even legitimate.” (Dangaremba 12). Her aspirations to be properly educated are viewed as an unnecessary expense in regard to women’s roles in Shona culture. Jerimiah’s ridicule of this proposition represents the core ideals of

Mariama Ba’s So Long a Letter is considered to be a widely read novel because of its cluster of themes and universal truths which is packed together in the form of a novella. It has gained a worldwide recognition because it focuses on the plight of women. Ba talks about the various forms of oppression that women go through in order to survive their predicament. The issue of women’s oppression and empowerment has been one major theme in African literature in the last few decades. Women suffer in this way as a result of various factors, some of which may be related to traditional beliefs and practices in their societies. This is often interconnected with forms of race, caste and economic oppression. So Long a Letter exemplifies an outburst of

The brain is the largest most complex part of the nervous system and is the body’s control center for all voluntary and involuntary movement and the body’s functions. The brain directly affects behavior, perception, cognitive function and controls various moods and reactions. In psychology, it is crucial to better understand the nervous system and how it affects how we experience pleasure, pain, how emotion are felt and how we learn and comprehend our environment.

In “The Joys of Motherhood” Emecheta talks about the issues of women oppressing western culture during precolonial and post-colonial periods in Nigeria. Nigerian herself, Emecheta describes how women tried to fight against gender inequality, sexual difference, the need to belong and be accepted by society based on ‘class’ in 1900s. Even though, Emecheta doesn’t point out that there’s a danger of a single story in The Joys of Motherhood, when it comes to understanding world literature one needs to look past certain stereotypes about Africa.
