This document outlines a proposal to increase global competence at Buffalo High School. It defines global competence and argues that it is important for students given increasing globalization and interconnectedness. The school already has some global structures in place but could do more to ensure students learn key skills like investigating other cultures, recognizing diverse perspectives, communicating across borders, and taking informed action on global issues. The document suggests focusing curriculum on 21st century global problems and providing opportunities for students to connect with and learn from people in other countries through activities like international projects, guest speakers, and study abroad. Next steps proposed are assessing global education efforts and committing departments to global education goals.

This document provides information about beautiful places located in Africa that are worth visiting before one dies. It discusses that Africa is a vast and diverse continent with over 3,000 ethnic groups and 1,000 languages spoken across its 53 countries. Some of the highlighted places to visit include the Okavango River in Botswana, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

It recommends visiting during holidays, honeymoons, business trips, or retirement to experience Africa's mind-blowing beauty before one's life ends.
West Africa had complex societies before the 16th century that are often overlooked. The region includes countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal. People lived in family groups and clans, and some settled villages and towns along trade routes. Larger towns and cities specialized in crafts and trade. Gold and salt were the most important traded goods, along with crops, livestock, and other materials. Between the 16th-19th centuries, the slave trade disrupted societies as millions of Africans were taken abroad.
This document provides information about Africa and highlights challenges in accurately portraying the continent. It notes that Africa is home to many natural wonders and the oldest inhabited territory. However, international press and lack of infrastructure have led to misrepresentations. Issues like illiteracy, undocumented cultures, and censorship have made it difficult for Africans to tell their own story and cite sources from the continent. The document calls for efforts like creating citation communities and mobile editing to help document Africa by Africans.
There are approximately 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who come from a vast range of races, nationalities, cultures, and geographic regions. Muslims are united by their common Islamic faith and beliefs. The world's largest Muslim community is in Indonesia, which has over 87% Muslims. Significant Muslim populations can also be found throughout Asia, Africa, as well as minorities in places like Europe, North America, South America, China, and the former Soviet Union.

The document summarizes information about Namibia, including:
- Namibia was formerly known as South West Africa and borders Angola, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. It has a population of 1.6 million people from various ethnic groups.
- Germany colonized the country in 1884 and South Africa administered it after World War I. Namibia fought for independence from South African rule beginning in 1966 and formally gained independence in 1990.
- Namibia has a thriving democracy and model government despite being a relatively new country. It has a strong education system and literacy rate. English is the official language though German and Afrikaans are also spoken.
1) West Africa has a variety of climates and landforms including plains, highlands, and plateaus. The Niger River provides an important transportation route and supports agriculture.
2) The region has a long history including great kingdoms like Ghana and Mali, but was devastated by the slave trade. It was later colonized by European powers and most countries gained independence in the 1950s-60s.
3) Today, West African countries face challenges of poverty, population growth, and political instability despite having natural resources. Nigeria has the largest economy while countries like Mali, Burkina Faso, and Chad struggle with poverty, drought, and lack of farmland.
Africa has been home to many empires throughout history but today people's lives are most affected by colonialism. The document is organized into sections on different regions of Africa, describing key historical empires and events, cultural aspects, current economic and health conditions, and how colonialism continues to impact the continent.
The document discusses some common pitfalls in portrayals of Africa, including romanticizing pre-modern Africa while ignoring modern aspects, and portraying Africa as either a "Dark Continent" or a overly idealized "Wise Africa". It then provides examples of how various institutions like National Geographic and art museums have historically exaggerated differences and reinforced stereotypes, but are making efforts to provide more accurate representations. The document also discusses tourism in Africa and the presence of Africans in America as opportunities to better understand and represent real contemporary African cultures and peoples.
This document provides an overview of African societies and kingdoms from 1000 BCE to 1500 CE. It discusses Africa's geographical diversity and how this shaped different cultures. The Bantu migration spread Bantu languages across eastern and southern Africa. Trans-Saharan trade introduced Islam to West Africa and stimulated urban growth. Major kingdoms like Ghana, Mali, and the Christian kingdom of Aksum in Ethiopia developed. Aksum engaged in trade on the Red Sea and was the first African society to document its history in writing. The document examines the complex relationships between Christian and Muslim populations in Africa.
The document summarizes the state of different regions of the world before 1492. It describes societies that relied on paleolithic technology like hunting and gathering groups in Australia, Siberia, and parts of Africa and the Americas. It also describes more advanced agricultural village societies in places like West Africa, where there were rival city-states ruled by kings. The Iroquois Confederacy in North America developed an innovative system of loose tribal confederation and dispute resolution to deal with population growth and warfare.
Traditional African societies were based around kinship groups like extended families rather than strong centralized governments. Bantu migrations helped spread agriculture and herding across the continent. There was immense diversity with over 1000 languages and tribes. Social structures ranged from large kingdoms to small states organized by kinship, gender, age, and lineage. Family, age groups, religion, land ownership, and slavery were all important community institutions before colonial influence.
Understanding Contemporary Africa - Chapter 3.pptx.pdfckyblcks
Early humans first emerged in Africa over 100,000 years ago and began migrating across the continent around 50,000 years ago. As populations grew and evolved, they adapted to different environments and developed diverse languages and cultures. Early Africans survived through foraging, hunting, fishing, and the beginnings of crop cultivation and herding. Around 5,000 years ago, the Bantu expansion spread Bantu-speaking peoples across sub-Saharan Africa. Early societies were typically governed through decentralized systems based on kinship and lineage, though some early states also emerged in places like Egypt, Kush, Axum, and along the Niger River.
The Bedouins are Arab nomadic peoples who originate from the Arabian Peninsula and roam the deserts of Asia and North Africa. They traditionally engaged in herding livestock and searching for water and pasturelands. While some Bedouins still live a semi-nomadic lifestyle, maintaining their customs and traditions, many have increasingly settled in cities or villages due to factors like drought, oil production, and government policies offering housing, education, and healthcare in exchange for abandoning their nomadic ways. Overall, the Bedouin lifestyle has evolved from a fully nomadic existence to a more semi-nomadic or settled one over time.
The document provides background information on African literature, Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart, and Ibo culture in Nigeria. It discusses how Achebe combines Western and African oral traditions in his work. It also outlines some key aspects of traditional Ibo society, such as religious beliefs, family and social structures, and gender roles, which are important to understanding the novel. The document concludes by presenting an essay assignment asking students to analyze whether Achebe succeeds in challenging stereotypes about Africa's past through the story and characters in Things Fall Apart.

This document discusses culture and describes the differences between surface culture and deep culture. It focuses on the Maasai tribe of Eastern Africa. The Maasai culture has deep traditions including distinctive roles for men and women. Men are known as warriors from ages 14 to 30 and wear colorful red clothing and jewelry symbolizing power. Women build homes from cow dung and care for children and crops, with marriages often arranged before birth. The document encourages learning about different African tribes and challenging students to represent their own cultures through crafts.
Here are a few key differences between Kenyans and Nigerians that may help dispel stereotypes:
Kenyans tend to have a more reserved demeanor compared to the outgoing nature of many Nigerians. Kenyans often value composure and restraint, conducting themselves in a calm, thoughtful manner. Nigerians, on the other hand, have a reputation for being lively, energetic and enthusiastic. Their "happy-go-lucky" spirit is on full display.
Family and community play a central role in both cultures, but Nigerians demonstrate their connections more outwardly. Large, boisterous gatherings with singing, dancing and celebration are commonplace. Kenyans express warmth and belonging in quieter family settings.
This document discusses various types and causes of human migration. It defines migration as a permanent change in residence and distinguishes between emigration, immigration, and internal migration. Key factors that influence migration decisions include economic, political, environmental, cultural, and technological conditions. Migrants weigh "push" factors that induce them to leave their home against "pull" factors that attract them to potential destinations. Forced migration occurs when people have no choice but to flee and become refugees or internally displaced persons. Historic examples of large-scale migrations discussed include African slaves to the Americas, Europeans to North America/South America, and internal migration within countries like the US and Russia.
Urban Hub34-Nomad Now & Then : Thriveable worldsPaul van Schaık
Imagine a world where human civilization never settled down in one place, but instead roamed the earth in search of resources, opportunities and adventure.
This is the world of the nomads, people who live without permanent homes or attachments, following the seasons, the weather and their instincts.
Nomads have a rich and diverse culture, shaped by their constant movement and adaptation to different environments. They value freedom, flexibility and creativity, as well as community, cooperation and hospitality.
Nomads have developed skills and knowledge that allow them to survive and thrive in harsh and unpredictable conditions, such as hunting, herding, trading, crafting and storytelling.
The document provides information about Oceania and the presence of Islam and Muslims in the region. Some key points:

Libraries have existed for thousands of years, evolving from clay tablets to the digital age. They have transitioned from simply storing written works to providing important services to communities. While books and physical media were once central to libraries, the rise of the internet and mobile technology has pushed libraries to adopt digital formats and resources. Looking to the future, libraries may act as hubs that facilitate access to information and opportunities for learning through emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.

This document discusses finding meaning and purpose in life. It poses questions about where humans came from, their purpose, and where they are going. It argues that meaning in life is not found through pursuing pleasure, fame, wealth or power, as these often lead to negative consequences like emptiness, addiction and depression. True meaning is found through developing life goals and values centered around bringing goodness to others through caring, charity, community involvement and overcoming challenges with perseverance. Faith can also provide meaning by giving life infinite significance beyond material concerns or death.
Muslims have had a long presence in Latin America, with the largest populations found in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Suriname, and Guyana. Three waves of Muslims immigrated - as African slaves, with the Spanish, and later from the Middle East. While Muslims make up only a small minority, Islam has been practiced in the region for centuries. The religion blended with the cultural influences of native peoples and European colonizers. Today, the values of Islam around family, education, and modesty continue in Latin American Muslim communities of varying sizes across the continent.
