Though the bible says that no women should be head over the church, and in I Timothy 2:12 it states, “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” This states that a woman should not teach the church or have authority over men. They should be silent unless they are told or called to the alter to speak by the man. This is why women should not have a place of authority over men in traditional Western Christian churches.…

    By comparison, agriculture and pastoralism, even in fairly primitive forms, provide large surpluses and can supply a much larger population per square mile. This allows a growth in population, an ability to store food against bad times and the maintenance of non-food producers who can specialize as craftsmen, warriors and leaders. These developments, in turn, allow for…

    The hunger crisis facing Sub-Saharan Africa is among the most dire in the world. Primarily caused by poverty and a lack of food production, malnourishment is one of the most pressing issues facing Sub-Saharan governments and citizens (Smith). A wide variety of possible solutions to the problem have been suggested by those interested in Sub-Saharan Africa’s well-being.
