I come from the beautiful country of Zambia where people are always friendly and helpful. They are understanding that someone from another country may not learn all there is to learn. Zambia is one of the few countries in Africa that has political stability. Having mentioned all this there are problems that Zambia experiences these are discussed below as well as what I can do to contribute to the development. 1. Littering Most African countries usually have little or no information given to littering. This becomes hazardous as it could destroy the land. In Zambia, there is very little being done about recycling. People tend to dig holes at the back of the house and throw their rubbish there. When the hole is full they burn the rubbish (destroying …show more content…
Many university graduates are reduced to working in a wholesale shop as a receptionist as their qualification does not match the job requirements. The other cause of this would also result from the structural change of the economy. A change in production methods as well as techniques can result in a drop in demand of people with particular qualification skills. The solution to this problem would be to provide training to the workers. 3. Poor roads or no roads In Zambia, there is an increased number of people that own motor vehicles however as this number increases the roads are not increasing. Vehicles that may be delivering goods end up having to deliver spoilt goods as the goods have been exposed to the sun for too long. What I can do is to engage with government and other organisations to help build more roads that will attract tourists and investors that will help grow the economy. 4. Power …show more content…
This is due to lack of poverty that rages the streets of Zambia. A house may be constructed using blacking and a ceiling with one or no window. Due to this electricity cannot be connected and for children that would need to study but are not able to. Poverty is a big concern for many Zambians. In my hands, this problem would be solved by engaging with investors. These investors will build on the land that is owned by someone and possess that infrastructure for the next five years after that the property will solely belong to the landowner. This will attract construction companies to the country, therefore causing development. Life is not about a smooth road but it has bumps, pitfalls and stops sign. There will be several obstacles that I will face when looking to contribute to the development of Zambia. These are discussed below: 1. People not willing to work towards seeing a cleaner place or lack of cooperation. 2. New technology can be strange for some, due to lack of information about solar panels and their benefits is another obstacle. 3. Training may be made available but people may view it as wasting time. 4. Participation of government in projects can be very slow or in some cases may not take place at all. 5. Buying land can be costly and it is because of this that people may not be open to an idea where they are not able to see the profits then and
In our world, there is power everywhere you look from schools, into classrooms, at restaurants, and even at home. There are many forms of power like a coach, teacher, or president but all show power in our society
All humans intend to attain one unexpendable resource throughout their lifetimes: power. Power is the motivator of all activity regardless of socioeconomic background, personal identity, or character. People without power determine to do whatever is necessary to obtain power. The influence of power can be seen in the drama film Crash. Officer John Ryan, a racist cop with a sick father, uses his authority to abuse minority suspects.
Chapter 8 is about Sub-Saharan Africa. It is about how Europeans came to Africa and settled their and mostly ruled. It is about the many parts of Africa as a whole and it 's diversity. How these different parts of Africa get food and water and their other basic needs(Findley & Rothney,2011). It is about how Imperialism and how the African people took being under an Imperialistic rule.
What exactly is “power”? Power is the ability to control and have respect in a certain way. In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, the small town of Maycomb have a trial in which a black man was accused of raping a white woman. But because of her class and gender, Mayella, the woman who claimed rape, lacks power, but her race makes her powerful.
Power is an important part of the world and how it runs, but those who possess it do not always see it this way. Power is an extremely abstract idea. One can find many different variations of the word when asking for a definition person to person. The dictionary simply puts it as, “the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others…” which is a common theme that could be found between most people’s definitions of the word. We conceive power as a person’s ability to have others listen to him, and, most importantly agree with him.
Africa In World Politics: Engaging a Changing Global Order by John Harbenson and Donald Rothchild gives an analysis of how Africa has changed from being a European ruled colonial nation to a nation that it creating a name for itself in the global sphere. Beginning with Africa’s politics during the colonial era through the present. The book provides not only details about Africa but also how the changing world has affected African politics. The main focus of this book is to show the growth Africa has had since its time of colonization. Africa has grown as the world has changed although it has had to deal with internal conflicts and demands for political change due to its authoritarian regimes.
The Westward Expansion Do you know much about the Westward Expansion? I can tell you that it was a period in American history between the years of 1807 and 1912. The topic of expansion includes a few key points; the Louisiana Purchase, pioneer life, and the Homestead Act. I will explain these to you and more.
In his essay, "College isn't for Everyone. Let's Stop Pretending It Is," Michael Petrilli uses the title of his article to clearly state the opinion that college is simply not for everyone. He supports this opinion on the statistically low college graduation rate of lower income students. He links this low rate of graduation to poor performance in high school, which leaves students unready for college upon completion of twelfth grade. On the job technical training is presented as a viable alternative to college, where a skill can be obtained to provide a career.
Since the establishment of industrialization, many jobs became available to people that weren’t able to farm anymore or to people that desired an improved life. In
Delbanco explains how students have changed their reasons for attending a college when he states, “...yet on the assumption that immersing themselves in learning for the sheer joy of it, with the aim of deepening their understanding of culture, nature, and, ultimately, themselves, is a vain indulgence” (222). Secondary education has become too expensive for learning to be an indulgence. Students only go to college to get a degree in order to gain a high paying career. Davidson explains how dire the situation with low paying job is by saying how the process should work, “Only through productivity growth can the average quality of human life improve” (339). Unfortunately, the productivity growth only leaves a bigger pay gap.
From Murray’s claim, I do agree that there has become a rising demand for skilled workers. On the other hand, I feel that training and vocational schools do not give as much flexibility in learning other majors as it narrowly focuses on the degree with no general education
There is an increase demand for skilled labor in many employers looking to hire. 2. Someone with a degree is looking to find a career that last a long time, rather than someone else looking to find a job that simply just pays the bills. B. You don’t have to settle for less. 1.
Although the scientists in the 1900s had warned the world about the shortage, many people still refuse to accept the idea that they will eventually be eventually using solar power as the only option. And each year, the debt from the consumer rate increases for every electricity company. For instance, as
The education system produces skills that are not valued by employers, while raising the expectations of those who acquire them. Consequently, the unemployed do not take up existing job vacancies, and employers are unwilling to hire available candidates (Njonjo, 2010). The mismatch is more marked for school leavers and graduates who have just finished school, partly providing an explanation for the high unemployment rate among youth and new entrants into the job market. The suggested remedy is to reform the education system and increase focus on technical education and vocational training, matching them to the needs of the job market (Coenjaerts et al. 2009).
