Sub Saharan Africa

The language of Islam, Arabic, was able to spread across continents. This commonality between people of different territories brought down the language barrier that was such a problem in intercultural communication. The common language served as a bridge between cultures for trade, which was extremely important to different territories of this time period. Islamic conquest allowed their culture to spread to many different regions. This, in fact was how Islamic territories acted as a bridge between sub-Saharan Africa and other civilizations in the Middle East.

When I think of Sub-Saharan Africa I see the complete opposite of The United States. I think of poverty, no Internet & cell phones( no texting, social media), no malls/shopping centers. I think of villages and people having farms and growing crops. Africa is approximately 15 of earths land & even with one of the largest countries in the world, it is one of the lest developed countries. However, even though Africans economy is not where it is suppose to be, West Africa is becoming more developed & offers more economic opportunities than other parts of Africa. Many tribes are moving towards West Africa to start a better life for themselves & and their families. However Africa needs more infrastructure which includes; high speed highways, railroads

The sub-Saharan region of Africa has traditionally been seen by the Western world as a barrier between the more "civilized" areas of the northern part of the continent that were colonized by Europeans and the deep, jungle regions common to the rest of the continent. The area below the Sahara desert was seen by colonial settlers as wild and dangerous. It was treated as its own separate entity, but in reality, this is not the case at all. Sub-Saharan Africa is very diversified in terms of ethnicities, languages, economics, politics, religion, and more. While it may still not be as industrialized as the northern part of Africa (with the exception of the country of South Africa), it is a very vibrant, diverse, and intriguing region of the world. In fact, the African Union prefers that the Sahara desert be seen as a bridge between northern and southern Africa, and not a barrier between two different worlds. In fact, the Sahara desert itself and its harsh climate and landscape, which makes it difficult to traverse it, has been the main reason for the prevailing view of there being two Africas. Until recently, interaction between the two regions was not an easy or common thing, precisely because of the Sahara desert itself sitting in the middle of the continent.

Today in Africa, many things have changed since the decades before us. Especially with dealing with West ignorance toward the sub-Saharan Africa. However, most of the conflict had dealt with geography, politics, religion and an economic perspective. Since, most of all of the options are extremely important. It had affected Africa culture. Not only is just Africa's culture important, but so is everyone else's. Which it made it clear, that something needed to be done. However, what is it that made these four specific explanations make such a disruption between the West and sub-Saharan Africa?

The cultural elements that can influence HIV-AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa are the sexual norms, early marriage, widow inheritance and sexual cleansing rituals. Research by Sovran (2016) explained that Africans are often believed to be more culturally tolerant of multiple sexual partnerships, sexual indulgence, and prostitution compared to people in other parts of the world (Sovran, 2016). Moreover, there are different sexual practices that make an individual more susceptible for HIV-AIDS such as dry sex, where a woman sit in basin of bleach, saltwater, or fertilizer inside her vagina. The practice of dry sex is very common in sub-Saharan Africa to create evidence that women are not a prostitute or cheating. Unfortunately, dry sex practice increases

Despite what some scholars may argue, I believe that Africa already possesses the know-how it needs to advance and ICTs, while useful is many ways, do not bring about meaningful economic improvements in the lives of the

Financial improvement is actualizing new innovations, move from farming based to industry-based economy, and general change in living models. The current improvement circumstance of Africa is dumbfounding. Despite the fact that it is the wealthiest mainland as far as common assets, Africa remains the poorest and the slightest created district of the world., Africa is the last worldwide outskirts that will take after the current developing forces. The economy of Africa of China, India and South America Consists of the exchange, business, farming, and human assets of the continent.the report, simply distributed, says this development has been determined basically by enhanced monetary administration on the mainland and the private part.

One of the first of the constraints, rural areas, is a characteristic of almost all regions that have concentrated numbers of extremely poor people. In Africa, an estimated 75 percent of the extreme poor live in rural areas. Those who do live in rural areas have a very difficult time taking advantage of the trade opportunities that arose from global growth. The reason for this is producers in rural areas often lack access to access to critical services inputs, such as transportation, communication and financial services, electricity and safe water. In addition to this, the producers also have a difficult time paying for material inputs such as seeds and fertilizers. Ultimately, the producers have an extremely difficult challenge of getting their products to their final markets and end up experiencing high post-harvest losses which contribute to their

Imagine yourself living in the worst conditions ever in Africa where many people live less than a $1 a day. Your living conditions are so bad that you are deprived of the most basic human needs where you don’t even have access to clean water, shelter, medicine and food. Now imagine where hundreds of millions of people in Africa living like this. What you think about such a horrible living condition?

In the article “Europe: less important to Africa than you might think”, by Rob Minto discusses the sub-Sarahan Africa is highly exposed to the Eurozone, when the Eurozone is good Africa trade is good and when the Eurozone is bad that is not good for Africa trading. The United States has the largest market for regional exports and China is the largest overall trading partner with Africa. The world is dominated by South Africa, Angola, and Nigeria together they make up over 70 percent of export were is most felt in sub-Sarahan Africa.

In hot areas of Africa, when you sweat, you lose salt and can get dehydrated. People needed salt to make keep their bodies in balance.

Modenisation impoverished Africa through colonialism and imperialism by the Western nations and this tendency is with us today as the East nations takes shot to deplete the Africa’s natural resources such as oil and minerals (Matunhu, 2011). As far as Africa would like to outgrow poverty and underdevelopment, this however may be not possible if we still strongly believe in the power and strength of modernity. Combatting Africa’s poverty and underdevelopment includes more than a simple disarticulation of the traditional society (Matunhu, 2011). Given facts that currently China is one of the largest trade partners with Africa, this results that China’s only interest is to exploit Africa’s natural resources ahead of Europe and America. The surplus economic value that is extracted by Chinese capital may be externalized in the form of profit allowance back home and some it could be spent on noticeable consumption (Matunhu, 2011). The theory does not reflect all these factors which drive the economy of a country up to being modernized. Developed countries create modernity through exploitation of the disadvantaged. The core countries exploit the poor periphery countries (Wallerstein,

Following independence from colonial powers African countries have failed to attain the rates of economic growth that some of the Asian nations had achieved. In several African countries remains a lack of the very basic infrastructures, namely, poor roads, inadequate electricity supply services, and in some cases all means for communication are completely missing. Most African governments figured that the state-owned enterprise was the best methodology for economic development to adopt and follow during the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. It was agreed on the fact that results have been disappointing and below all expectations. These failures made the picture clearer and legitimated the claim arguing that sub-Saharan African countries strongly

In this regard African continent tend to have a sit back on the trading and the implantation of the policies due to the decisions made by the developed countries’ representatives that have the majority of member on the World Trade Organisation this tends to be one of the disadvantages affecting the African continent to be recognised in the international trade and tend to have no contribution on the decisions made on underdeveloped and developing countries.

Nigeria, the most populous African country, with enormous potential in agriculture. If well managed, has the potential to become a global powerhouse through agro-industrialization.
