Define Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa is located south of the Saharan Desert and comprised of around 46 countries. The population is growing and is estimated to reach 2 billion by 2050. The area is diverse in climate and culture, there are multiple ecosystems such as the savanna and the tropical rainforest. The population of Sub-Saharan Africa speak over 1,000 languages. (Pariona, 2017)
Identify the top five economic performers in the SSA region using the following key measures.
public institutions
clear property rights
strong judicial independence
infrastructure
education/innovation
efficient government.
The top five economic countries in SSA are Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania. (Focus Economics, 2021)
Angola has a literacy rate of 71.1% with most over the age of 15 can read and write. Angola has had a high urbanization rate with a GDP of $97B. A large portion of their GDP comes from oil and diamonds. (The World Factbook, 2021)
Ethiopia is the second largest populated country in Africa with most of its GDP coming from agriculture such as coffee. The growth of Ethiopia's economy was due to investment in infrastructure. (The World Factbook, 2021)
Ghana has a literacy rate of around 77% higher then most African countries but has a GDP of $65B. Ghana like most African countries is plagued by government corruption due to trade in diamonds and gold. (The World Factbook, 2021)
Kenya has a three part government system, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. While Kenya has dealt with government corruption it has put into place an independent organization to reduce such actions. Kenya has a $95B GDP with most coming from the service industry however, Kenya has a 40% unemployment rate. (The World Factbook, 2021)
Tanzania is the largest most populated country in East Africa with a GDP of $71B. The Fair Competition Commission has process in place to protect intellectual property yet counterfeiters are amassed in Africa. Foreign companies need to register their trademarks, property, and patents through local laws, protection is not guaranteed. (Tanzania country commercial guide, 2021)
Now that you have researched the key measures, take on the role of a consultant. The SSA economy managers have asked you which of the key measures can be improved.
Identify two key measures that can be improved. Infrastructure and education are two of the biggest issues in SSA. Education has been shown to increase creativity and therefore production process. Infrastructure such as buildings and roads make travel easier which translates to cargo getting to from point A to point B more efficiently increasing economic gain.
Provide at least one persuasive recommendation for each key measure. By increasing funds to education, the population will be better prepared in various careers and with an increase in population the workforce will be large. Better educated individuals who have high paying jobs poor money into the economy. An increas ...
Geography chapter 10 strategies to alleviate uneven development
The document discusses various strategies to alleviate uneven development, including actions by international organizations like the World Bank and Asian Development Bank who provide loans and assistance to less developed countries and regions. It also discusses international agreements like the UN Millennium Development Goals and strategies at the national level like improving access to clean water, education, population control policies, and job creation/financial assistance programs. Specific examples provided include infrastructure projects in Indonesia and Bangladesh supported by the World Bank and ADB, as well as poverty alleviation programs in India, Thailand, China, and the Philippines.
Education for All
Education is important for empowering individuals and developing societies. Lack of education is linked to issues like poverty, poor health, and low economic growth. While global enrollment in primary education is high, millions of children still lack access to schooling, especially in parts of Africa. Educating girls in particular has wide-ranging benefits and is associated with lower population growth, better health outcomes, and greater economic opportunities.
Freedom & Economic Fragility
1) Milton Friedman supported classical liberalism and allowing individuals to freely rise and fall in the economy based on their abilities without intervention.
2) During the 1920s, the U.S. economy boomed as banks lent money to people who could not afford it, fueling overconsumption.
3) When the stock market crashed, banks collapsed as loans went unpaid, plunging the U.S. and world into the Great Depression due to a lack of regulations on competition and lending.
Success in Liberal Masks
This document summarizes and analyzes three sources that discuss liberal principles in government. Source 1 is two Norman Rockwell paintings depicting freedom of speech and religion. Source 2 is a Franklin D. Roosevelt quote about the importance of economic security and independence. Source 3 is a Joseph Stalin quote saying that while elections give an illusion of democracy, those who count the votes really decide everything. The document concludes that while not all three sources directly support democracy, they agree that liberal principles like individual rights help keep citizens happy and the government stable.

Geography chapter 10 strategies to alleviate uneven development
The document discusses various strategies to alleviate uneven development, including actions by international organizations like the World Bank and Asian Development Bank who provide loans and assistance to less developed countries and regions. It also discusses international agreements like the UN Millennium Development Goals and strategies at the national level like improving access to clean water, education, population control policies, and job creation/financial assistance programs. Specific examples provided include infrastructure projects in Indonesia and Bangladesh supported by the World Bank and ADB, as well as poverty alleviation programs in India, Thailand, China, and the Philippines.
Education for All
Education is important for empowering individuals and developing societies. Lack of education is linked to issues like poverty, poor health, and low economic growth. While global enrollment in primary education is high, millions of children still lack access to schooling, especially in parts of Africa. Educating girls in particular has wide-ranging benefits and is associated with lower population growth, better health outcomes, and greater economic opportunities.

Freedom & Economic Fragility
1) Milton Friedman supported classical liberalism and allowing individuals to freely rise and fall in the economy based on their abilities without intervention.
2) During the 1920s, the U.S. economy boomed as banks lent money to people who could not afford it, fueling overconsumption.
3) When the stock market crashed, banks collapsed as loans went unpaid, plunging the U.S. and world into the Great Depression due to a lack of regulations on competition and lending.
Success in Liberal Masks
This document summarizes and analyzes three sources that discuss liberal principles in government. Source 1 is two Norman Rockwell paintings depicting freedom of speech and religion. Source 2 is a Franklin D. Roosevelt quote about the importance of economic security and independence. Source 3 is a Joseph Stalin quote saying that while elections give an illusion of democracy, those who count the votes really decide everything. The document concludes that while not all three sources directly support democracy, they agree that liberal principles like individual rights help keep citizens happy and the government stable.
Representation vs. Authoritarianism
Forms of representation include direct democracy, parliamentary systems, and republican democracies. These forms involve citizens participating through voting and elected representatives making decisions. Authoritarian systems concentrate power in single individuals, small groups, or the military rather than citizens. They include monarchies, oligarchies, one-party states, and military dictatorships where ultimate control resides with a single leader or elite rather than the people. While representation acts in citizens' interests, authoritarianism acts in the rulers' interests.
Humanities Bibliography

The sources include websites from organizations like the BBC, CBC, CIA, and various educational resources from the Government of Alberta and Ontario as well as textbooks.

Strength in Individuality
The document discusses the idea of individual strength versus strength through conformity. It describes how Hitler used conformity to gain support for Nazism in Germany, leading to devastating consequences. It also discusses Tim O'Brien's struggle to conform by fighting in the Vietnam War despite wanting to pursue his own life goals. While conformity can make large groups powerful, the truly strong individuals are those who pursue their own desires rather than blindly conforming to what others expect. It takes greater courage to stand alone than to simply go along with the group through conformity.
Achievable Idealisms According to John Steinbeck
The document discusses achievable idealisms in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. It introduces two main characters - Rose of Sharon who dreams of the perfect home but depends on her husband, and former preacher Jim Casy who wants to unite migrant workers to improve their lives. While Rose's static ideals are unrealistic, Casy takes action like organizing protests, making his goal more achievable before his death. The document analyzes how Steinbeck presents Casy's ideals through action as more reasonable than Rose's inactive dreams.
Reflected Idealism
Elliot Erwitt captured a photograph of an ideal romantic couple reflected in the mirror of a vehicle. While the couple appears genuinely happy, capturing such idealized moments is nearly impossible due to their spontaneous nature. By photographing the reflection rather than the actual scene, Erwitt only shows the idealized version of the romantic couple, rather than revealing any true feelings or context. When looking at reflections, people hope to see their ideal selves, just as Erwitt portrayed an idealized romantic moment. However, ideals often depict an unattainable perfection that does not reflect real life, where perfection is rare and there are no idealized scenes.
Radical Thinkers

Choice and Chance - Night Essay
Eliezer's survival of the Holocaust was influenced by both chance and the choices he made. When first arriving at Birkenau, Eliezer chose to give a fake age on the advice of a prisoner, allowing him to avoid being sent to the furnace. Later, chance played a role in keeping Eliezer with his father in the same camps and blocks. Ultimately, American troops liberating Buchenwald in 1945 was the biggest chance that saved Eliezer's life. Both chance occurrences and the choices Eliezer made allowed him to survive experiences that took the lives of many others.
UN Q's
The United Nations was created in 1945 by 51 countries with the main goals of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, and promoting social progress. It now has 192 member states and works on issues like human rights, counter-terrorism, and international health. The UN has six main parts: the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council, International Court of Justice, and Secretariat. The Secretary-General, currently Ban Ki-moon of South Korea, leads the UN and has priorities of climate change, disarmament, and fighting poverty.
Nationalism as a Cause of WWII Timeline
The document discusses how rising German nationalism following World War 1 and the 1929 Wall Street Crash contributed to the rise of the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. It notes several key events: (1) Hitler received 30% of the presidential vote in 1932, showing high nationalist support; (2) the Night of Broken Glass in 1938 saw Germans attack their Jewish neighbors, indicating willingness to enact Hitler's radical nationalism; (3) Hitler's remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936 showed his confidence in nationalistic public support. Rising German nationalism following World War 1 and economic troubles strengthened radical nationalist groups like the Nazis and enabled Hitler's rise to power.
Hitler
Adolf Hitler had a difficult childhood and young adulthood that may have influenced his extreme views later in life. His mother died of cancer treated by a Jewish doctor, and he had a strained relationship with his authoritarian father. As a young man, he failed to get into art school and lived in poverty in Vienna. During World War I, he was temporarily blinded by a gas attack. After the war, he became impressed by Anton Drexler's nationalist and anti-Semitic ideas and joined the German Workers' Party, which he later renamed the Nazi Party. He rose to power by exploiting Germans' economic struggles following World War I and blaming Jews and socialists.
