Answer:

Negativity, western literature

Explanation:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TED talk on the danger of a single story, noted that the single story of Africa comes from western literature.  Adichie went on to quote a historic writing of a London merchant John Locke - who after sailing to West Africa, gave a fascinating account of black Africans as "beasts who have no houses," and "people without heads, having  their mouth and eyes in their breasts."

Adichie said John Locke's narrative marked the beginning of story telling that described Africa as place of darkness, negatives as well as a place where people - in the words of a poet Rudyard Kipling - are "half devil, half child."

Speech about a change you want for a specific place. Use transition words
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

hange is always permanent in this world. The only thing that cannot be controlled is change. But we can always take efforts to bring about the right kind of change in the world.Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”  This means that we must set an example and implement the right kind of changes in order to make the world a beautiful place. In other words, if we want to see a change in a place we should be the one do it first for ourselves. When we want others to follow a good habit and we insist on it, first of all we should follow that habit. For example, only when we are punctual we can teach others on Values of Punctuality. That is how others will accept the change.
