    The information below is to help students focus on important topics of the chapter. This study guide does not replace reading the chapter or give you exact questions. Essentially, exam questions are taken directly from information within the chapter. Without reading and studying definitions, theorists, psychological terminology and perspectives, you will have a difficult time passing my exams. You will find the application questions particularly difficult if you do not understand concepts and have not prepared adequately. Every chapter has a lot of terms including italicized words to know. I do not cover terms necessarily in the study guide below because students are expected to know these.…

    The Challenge for Africa

    • 1734 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In 1993 Paul Johnson wrote an article titled “Colonialism’s Back-and Not a Moment too Soon.” In this article, he argued that colonialism was a good thing for Africa. He believed Africa was in need of foreign powers to intervene and govern the land. He said that the governments of different African nations were crumbling and the people were uncivilized. However, Johnson failed to recognize the historical legacy of colonialism in Africa, and all that was negatively affected by it such as the people, traditions, and the land. His biased argument drove his focus to overlook the greater violence and seemed to put a positive light on colonialism. Africa suffered, and still does today due to the nature of violent and exploitative colonialism. There were political, economical, environmental implications that affect areas of Africa still today. It is of much importance to talk about the significance of colonialism of Africa and how it has been negatively affected by it.…
