    Many attempts have been made around the world at reforming current legal systems in search of a better one. As the amount of crime rises worldwide, people are constantly on the lookout for new and improved ways to fight it, and prevent it. Three such attempts involving attempts to change legal systems have been discussed the last half of this course. The change from the system put in place when a country was under colonization, as in Kilamanjaro, and Papa New Guinea. An attempt to revert to the historically cultural ways of dealing with conflict, as in China and India. In addition, an attempt by the more modern industrialized societies to become more attuned to the people with whom they are trying to help, as in Japan, and Santa Anna. By studying these examples and implementing one of them, almost any kind of stagnant legal system can attempt to change for the better.…

    The novel Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe, depicts the Igbo culture of Nigeria in the 1890’s, as well as the beginning of the British colonization of these people. Achebe describes the Igbo culture in fairly great detail in the novel, including different portions of the society and many of the laws and beliefs of the culture. The spread of Christianity brought by British missionaries is also described in a fairly detailed way, and this spread is shown to be the driving force behind the British dominating the Igbo culture. In order to understand why and how Christianity aided the British in their conquest one must first understand why some parts of Igbo society were so receptive to the British missionaries and why some were so opposed to them.…

    HIV/AIDS is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Although millions of people are afflicted with the disease throughout the world, this pandemic affects the continent of Africa the most by far. In Africa, the disease is increasing at an alarming rate. Even though increased effort is put in around the world to prevent AIDS, this widespread disease has increased significantly in the past decade. The toxic ailment continues to spread with a disturbing force and it has taken a long time to finally slow it down. In the late 2000’s, approximately 40 million people around the world were living with AIDS or the HIV infection, a significant rise from the 35 million diagnosed with AIDS in 2001 (Bertozzi).

    I chose to focus on West Africa’s healthcare and educational issues and combine them into two because without one the other cannot be solved. There is a low rate of students getting education and people receiving healthcare. You cannot have doctors in a hospital if they don’t know what they’re doing that’s why they need education. Not all students have to become doctors, it is just recommendation so they don’t have to suffer from a disease or watch a loved one die. If students choose to become doctors with the education they’ve had, it will lower the death rate in West Africa.…

    Furtheremore, Imperialism damaged economies through draining wealth, primarily through excessive taxation. Notably, during British rule of Nigeria, under Frederick Lugard, the treasury was seperated from the emirs that governed the region in the North. Through this act, Britain collected ¼ and later ½ of all taxes in the North, draining money for public services (Colonization in Nigeria : Economic & Social Development). Subsequently, medical and educational services in the North were lesser than that of the South, causing disease and limiting education, hindering any economic development. As a direct result of British Imperialism, wealth drain and lack of public services lead to a damaged economy.…
