Education As A System Of Empowering Learning And Securing Of Data

Fashion and aesthetics of African American are set of qualities in art, and specifically in this paper dance and music that come from African art. Robert Farris Thompson’s observations of art in central and western Africa and Kariamu Welsh Asante’s observations of dance in Zimbabwe identify common themes of African art. Method of dancing is another way of incorporation and valuing the entire body and bringing together the music and dance.

However, for the sake of this essay, I am going to focus on Islam, its introduction, its practice, and its role in the lives of West Africans in the 8th through 15th centuries. With that being said, historians date the arrival of Islam in West Africa to roughly the 8th century C.E. Islamic scholars who had come from Arabia, through the Savannah, began to write about the history of West Africa and the role their religion played [1]. With the spread of Islam came the expansion of trade routes spanning across the continent. Along these commercial highways, Islamic culture fostered intellectual development and innovation never before known in West Africa. With this philosophical and theological expansion came increased literacy among native peoples and thirst for knowledge that resonated among West Africans for centuries. In short, Islam and its practice had just as much of an effect on the material world of West Africans as it did their intellectual

The Interesting Narrative conveys the first-hand experiences of an African who is stripped of the basic rights given to humans and is forced into slavery, while at the same this individual fights for freedom. This autobiography is a reliable source for historians, educators, and students. After analyzing the literature, I concluded that the autobiography’s main criteria included content, tone, perspective, and the structure of his writing. The authors ability to manipulate this criterion, allows for the successful creation of an environment that builds a connection between the audience and his journey.

Dance has always been the focal point in which Africans are able to let free through movements of emotion. In this essay I will discuss the history of African Dance and its importance to the African Culture. Also will be discussing the general information of African dance, the different types of African dance and the ones that I like the most. Dance in the African culture is something that cannot be taken advantage of in the African Culture because it holds such a strong meaningful moment at the time of any occasion.

Barbara Cooper argues that the gap between African historians and the general field of historians is derived from the many debates surrounding the legitimacy of oral sources as a tool of understanding the evolution and development of Africa and its past. As a result of this, the exciting developments occurring within African history have been “…rendered unintelligible to academic historians in general” (Cooper 211) as the methodological research that Africanists put into acquiring and using oral sources are overlooked and ignored. She encourages other historians to utilize this research and for African history scholars to do their part as well by participating in conversations with other historians and debates to bring their work to light. All in the hopes that African history becomes relevant and exciting to a larger audience including historians outside the African field of work, as this history is too important to be

For what little history is taught about Africans institutionally and publically presently, it used as a tool to disempower people of African descent. To start present interpretations of African history denies the feats and accomplishments done by Africans as well as the roots from which all people come from. Presently history is made for people

How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind: Rediscovering the African Seedbed of Western Christianity By Thomas C. Oden Downers Grove, Ill: Intervarsity Press, 2008, 204 pp, $ 19.00 hardcover. Thomas Oden, an accomplished scholar in systematic and historical theology, and retired professor at Drew University, has offered a compelling and positively provocative work in How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind. A work of scholarly repentance, he ably repudiates the posture of western theologians and historians (i.e. Harnack, Bauer, Schleiermacher) toward Africa’s theological legacy (pp. 57-59). His present work is the fruit of thirty years of reading the early African fathers, and in the last fourteen, he has served as the general editor of the

European’s have had a dismissive attitude towards African’s accomplishments and activities. They 1) generally refused to allow the study of any knowledge that they do not control (Asante). 2) A number of white scholars tend to be limited in their interest to subjects that are valuable to the European project of self-glorification and triumphalism (Asante). Finally, to view Africa as a subject in history or as the starting place for an examination of anything is anathema to those who have always ignored the role of Africa (Asante). The Afrocentric school of thought has fought to combat these boundaries by giving the permission to investigate all aspects of Africa’s presence and involvement in the world.

It is because in those times slaves were black, that he wanted to secure equality for them. So he aspired for them to go to school to educate and to have the same freedom, rights of whites. For a Black man to speak publicly at the time was revolutionary and also very dangerous. He appeared as a continent at the crossroads of many religions. The one expect to personality was him spoke commenced to being tradition in the African America, he women wear the traditional, a long dress that covers them from head to toe and only frees a portion of the face the minimum categories for the race are now” Within the religious system and the daily life of African spirits are beings who are central. They make this group the spirits of the good elders who left their offspring. They can also enter this group spirits of righteous men and women who died young because them their religious tradition, because the religion is very important for your life. In Long ago, it has been presented as a continent at the crossroads of many religions, mainly cultural traditions. With the process of colonization, most Africans do not openly accept the spiritual heritage of newcomers with their religion. With the model of Church "universal call it Catholic or Evangelical." Deeply religious and attached to their traditions, Africans were determined to live their relationship with God according to their culture and aspirations. Evangelization was accused

There was a very small group of European administrators that governed all over Africa. Due the this fact, European ruler did not want African people to gain anymore knowledge that would allow them to rise up against foreign settlers. Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg, a colonial governor, was among a few who supported the development of education for African people, pointed out a few reasons why European settlers were against this idea. He restated critics’ thought on why African people should not be getting a better education, “The African is not capable of exercise those qualities that will be conferred on him by higher education.” This show that European settlers did not want African people to gain any knowledge, by refusing to believe that these African people are capable of applying all the knowledge if they were given a chance to learn. Furthermore, the denial of Education for African people was away to control them from rising up in social status with their newly acquired knowledge. European settlers hoped that the African people would remain as second class citizens which make them easy targets for exploitation as well as avoided the risk of educated African tried to invoke revolutions against the White rulers. European settlers were well aware that Africa is a vast land that was the origin of many great civilizations in human history. It is necessary for

Many users are subject of Security and Privacy on the Internet issue. The term "information" now is more used when defining a special product or article of trade which could be bought, sold, exchanged, etc. Often the price of information is higher many times than the cost of the very computers and technologies where it is functioning. Naturally it raises the need of protecting information from unauthorized access, theft, destruction, and other crimes. However, many users do not realize that they risk their security and privacy online.

One of the strengths of promise of sociology, which is the sociological imagination, is it helps to see and think outside the box and to analyze a better understanding to gain benefit that a person can earn in a society. An individual is more conscious about himself or herself and the people in society. In addition, an individual will know how human behavior interacts with the society. The people are not related but also experience same events in life, like personal troubles and social issues. The sociological imagination gives an individual the capability to understand the relationship of biography, history, and traditions related to social and historical events in society experience by the individual or society. Mills’ wants us to understand the individual's biography and lifestyles know the his or her surroundings and

This paper reflects the novel “Things Fall Apart” written by Chinua Achebe in 1958. Achebe gives an overview of pre-colonialism and post-colonialism on Igbo, detailing how local traditions and cultural practices can “fall apart” in some scenarios through some introduced, externally created hassles elevated because of colonization. The protagonist named Okonkwo mentioned in the story is a proof showing the lifestyle of the tribe. My main objective and focus is to lay emphasis on Africa specifically the Igbo society, before and after the arrival of the Europeans in Umuofia community; the results of their arrival concerning Igbo culture, thus leading to the clash of cultures between the two categories. I will also draw on post-colonialism with respect to globalization.

     Understanding time is important in understanding the thoughts and beliefs of the African people. Understanding ontology is important as well. As defined by Webster’s ontology is “a branch of metaphysics concerned with the nature and relations of being.” Ontology is the way in which the Africans believe. Expressed ontologically, God is the origin and creator of all things. A number of

Encryption is a method of programming data for security so that it appears to be random data. Only the people sending and receiving the information have the key to decrypt the message, which will put it back into its original form making it readable. The only people with the key are the people who are intended to read the message. Not many people know what encryption is. I took a survey of twenty students and asked two questions. The first question I asked was do you know what encryption means and the second question I asked was have you ever heard of anybody using encryption. This is a chart of the information I received:
