Common Myths and Stereotypes about Africa Even though Africa is one of the continents that the world has a focus on, still it is weird in the twenty-first century to learn that most Americans have stereotypes about Africa. One of the biggest misconceptions about Africa is that Africa is not a continent but a country (Pijjers). According to Randolph, the American media and school textbooks usually highlight that Africans are very poor, uncivilized and retrogressive and from such learning materials, American children have a wrong image about Africa. Another misconception that is common in America about Africa is that the whole of Africa is invaded by wild animals (Zimmerman ). Stereotypes have effects on Africans, particularly the African Americans, given that the white Americans are inclined to make negative and mythical assumptions about them and the continent of Africa. Even though some individuals are promoting misconception about Africa, there are some historians who celebrate the unique heritage of Africa. According to BBC News, Africa is the only continent in the world that has kept its past history which is aimed…

It allows businesses to play the communities and other states to extract large amounts of taxes and subsidies from the community. For example, Exxon would like Alaska to control all-natural oil and resources, allowing Exxon to have easy access to the resources they require.

I believe Japanese firearm law has been responsive to emerging security issues, which has seen the country succeed in controlling gun-related crimes. Following that analogy, it is plausible to argue that the country’s success in reducing gun deaths is linked to its history, and I will justify that. Pacifism has been Japanese philosophy since WWII. Soldiers were only allowed to carry guns the first time in 1946 when the American troops designed them, and this was for security reasons only. As of 1958, the Japanese law stipulated that citizens would not possess firearms or swords. Although the government has been revising such provisions, the fact that Japan enacted gun control from prohibition was pro-active and has seen the country take charge of firearm used; ultimately reducing incidences of misuse. For the longest time, the Japanese governments have embraced the idea that fewer firearms in the hands of the locals will be effective in limiting the number of gun crimes in the country. Owning a firearm in Japan is a cumbersome process requiring a person to go through a lengthy all-day…

Nick Cullather is the author of the Foreign Policy of the Calorie. The author claims a theory that explains the regeneration of food. The author’s theory states that the human body is thought of as an engine, and as humans, we keep it stocked with food to produce energy. The author argues about how food is measured. For example, Cullather says that the Europeans were the first to measure food in calories; however, the Americans later constructed the calorie by providing practical value. Doing this was able to standardize and embed it in the system of distribution and administration. Furthermore, the author relates the food with the problem of hunger, which has been characterized by the style of calculability that has been assigned reciprocal routines with different obligations by the national government. Different examples have been used to demonstrate the author’s arguments, which have significantly related to how food is being used to produce energy in our bodies and how we should maintain and regulate the food we take in our bodies. The literature used by the author has been…
