In Felipe Fernandez- Armestos’ book Civilizations he takes us from environment to environment and shows us how different Civilizations both rise and or fall. In order to fully learn about why or how a civilization flourished or failed we have to look at all of them as examples and compare and contrast them to get a better understanding of the civilization. In chapter ten of his book Armesto speaks on the highland civilization of the old world. These civilizations are New Guinea, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Iran and Tibet. Starting on page 253 of his book one of Armestos subtitles is “The Mountains of Rasselas: Civilization in Ethiopia.” FFA first speaks on how when Ethiopia was period first began it was thought to be impossible to get to because of its location.

Ethiopia is definitely on the list to be helped. Ethiopia is one of the world’s poorest countries. There are millions of people in Ethiopia who need help. There is an estimated 14.3 million people at risk . There should not be millions of people that need humanitarian assistance, especially there being millions in just one country. Everyone deserves a helping hand especially helpless women and children. There should not be any hesitation to lend a hand in a country where millions of people are orphans. According to Dagne, relief organizations have labeled the condition in Ethiopia as famine
Few historical figures from the period of colonial Mexico tower as high as Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Sor Juana was a criolla woman who lived from 1651 to 1695. She was born as an illegitimate child but was eventually taken in by the Mexican viceroy’s family. A voracious reader as a child, Sor Juana tirelessly pursued an educating herself. As a young woman, she chose to enter into the cloister so that she could avoid marriage and thus devote herself to her scholarship. She became a prominent writer and her works were widely read in both New Spain and Spain. However, in 1990 she published one of her most famous works: “Reply to Sor Philothea”. This critique of a sermon written by a prominent member of the Church proclaimed the ability of women to participate in intellectual pursuits. Facing intensifying pressure from the Church, Sor Juana publically renounced her work before her death in 1965. Sor Juana’s story was shaped by the societal rules governing gender, race, and class during Mexico’s colonial period and, despite the effort of many to consign her voice to oblivion, she holds tremendous influence upon modern Mexican culture and feminist thought.

Bernal Diaz del Castillo’s The History of the Conquest of New Spain provides an eyewitness account of the Spanish conquest over the indigenous Mayan empire. Diaz del Castillo’s recorded events serve as a way to “deepen our knowledge” and understand “the ways indigenous people struggled to maintain their sense of identity in the oppressive years of colonial society.” Indigenous women and colonial sexuality played a significant role in the imperialist conquest of New Spain. From the David Carrasco volume, Karen Vieira Powers’ “Colonial Sexuality” illustrates the adversity native women encounter against Spaniard men. In addition, the close reading of Bernal Diaz, The History of the Conquest of New Spain, explains how indigenous women were married

To begin with, the Ethiopian economy has different between 2012 and now. When I was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2012, there were a large number of unemployed young men: more than 50% men did not have a job. Also, they used to sit on street rocks and mocked at the people who had a job. Moreover, in the past, Ethiopia had a low literacy rate. If there were 6 people in a family, only two might be students.

Since there is such a large number of people they are in need of a tremendous amount of resources that they do not have access too. These refugees are in need of simple necessities such as food and water, but also educational and health facilities (Momodu). Providing these refugees with food and water is a simple task that could be easily carried out with the money we would receive from this grant.
