He was a prolific us author who promoted socialist views and anarchist causes. he is most popular for writing "the jungle," deal
Vesna [10]

The author's name is Upton Sinclair.

Upton Sinclair was an American journalist and novelist. <em>'The Jungle', </em>published in 1905, exposed the harsh reality of immigrants in the United States, particularly those who worked in the meat industry.

Sinclair describes the appealing conditions in meat packing plants in the USA as a way to advance socialism. The book concentrates around the life of a Lithuanian immigrant family who came to the USA to live the American dream. It portrays working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh living and working conditions in the factories.

"The Jungle" did not live up to its author's expectations as most readers were more concerned about the quality of meat being packed in the factories, health violations and unsanitary practices, than the plight of the workers. This public outcry led to the creation of the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906.

The founding fathers who wrote the constituiton were similar in that they<br>​
Crazy boy [7]

In the wars that the “founding fathers”, the main leaders of the colonists at that time, stood out.

It was these leaders who drafted, in 1776, the Declaration of Independence of the United States and, after the war, in 1787, composed the so-called Bill Of Rights, that is, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution of the United States of America, which prevails until today. For this reason, they were called "founding fathers", or "fouding fathers", as they are considered to be those who gave the United States a political-legal architecture, claiming its right to exist as an independent nation-state.

The main names among the “founding fathers” are: <u>John and Samuel Adams, George Washington (who became the first president), Thomas Jefferson, George Clymer, Benjamin Franklin, George Tylor and George Rea.</u>

1. “It is a waste of time to search into the darkness of the African past for an African
valina [46]

Answer:

“It is a waste of time to search into the darkness of the African past for an African

Civilization, forget the chaotic and barbaric past of the African continent."

To say that the statement is Eurocentric is a euphemism because it implies that Africa's past had nothing of repute or value to present to the world.  

Walter Rodney in his book "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" (1972) testifies that Africa had a civilization which was crushed by colonialism. Thus the statement  

It has the following effects:

It has the potential to inflame hate and exacerbate the already fragile tension between Africans the white supremacists;

This sort of speech also endangers the lives of well-meaning Africans everywhere in Europe. The first stage of Genocide is classification. The next is symbolisation. Classification simply means that one party implicitly or explicitly is creating a divide or some form of social strata. Symbolisation, on the other hand, is to force with hate symbols upon a particular race of people. By that statement, darkness, chaos and barbarism are already used to qualify the African people.  

The statement is also an attack on the heritage of the African people. Not just the African continent as a geographical location. In 2017, a 12-year-old girl was reported to have said:

<em>"Now that Trump is president, I’m going to shoot you and all the blacks that I can find" </em>

Such statements if left unchecked can spark off continental chaos and may even degenerate into other forms of social mayhem.

 

2. Rite of Passage

According to Van Gennep, the three rites of passage are

separation: This he describes as separation from a previous world. In some cases, this stage is accompanied by the shaving off of one's hair.

liminality: This speaks to a state that is in-between the previous one and the final or next stage

incorporation: This stage is usually consummated by a ritual. In some climes, for instance, one of the rites involves "bull jumping". If completed, then one is said to have transited from boyhood to manhood.

3. How Africans contribute to the western insults about the people of Africa are:

  • Refusal to embrace development: This in many cases is as a result of corruption. African politician would rather embezzle money than commit them to the greater good;
  • Refusal to obey law and order even in one's best interest;
  • Decadent value system
  • Lack of respect for human lives
  • Refusal to embrace indigenous technology  

 

4. Africa is resource-rich but poor developmentally

According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a human will cater to it's basic/primary needs (such as food, shelter, clothing etc) first before seeking the satisfaction of higher needs of self-fulfilment etc.

Development is strongly related to the need for a higher quality of life/self-fulfilment.  

Many African nations are poor developmentally because they are still grappling with the issues at the base of Maslow's pyramid.  In the west, there is social security. To a large extent, the effects of the base pyramid are mitigated by the government hence, people can strive for higher ideals which translate to development.  

Neo-Colonisation/Hegemony

In this case, the west is largely to blame. International tools of Neo-colonisation such as the IMF and more recently the WHO are tools being used to control many of the African countries albeit indirectly. Some sociology/political experts state that the objective is to prevent any world power from emerging from Africa.

Poor Leadership

The Leadership of the African continent seems to stifle technological growth whilst the developing nations embrace this knowing that it is the future. When an economy is unable to manage it's resources, even if it is the richest in those resources, it will experience stunted growth if it lacks leadership.

5. Underdeveloped and Underdevelopment of Nations in Africa

The greatest any nation has is its people. The colonial governments stripped Africa of the minds that developed it and used those minds to develop theirs. This is the underdevelopment of Africa.

 On the other hand, when an African nation is said to be underdeveloped, it is so because it is grappling with challenges such as poverty, high infant mortality rate, uncontrolled population, lack of industrialisation, low literacy levels etc.

Cheers!

Fed [463]

American won this battle because they used the geography to their advantage. Before General Washington was about to start, General William Prescot had already led the troops to the Hill. On the hill they could shoot down at the British, making the British troops an easy target.
