As an British born Ghanian I have always been proud of my roots. You may have seen a previous question which asked I asked 'Does Charity really help', but now I have a follow up question.
After Comic Reflief I started to reflect on Weston Societies preception of Africa. I think when most people think of Africa they think, refugees, war, AIDS, extreme poverty and ...Safari Parks. But there is so much more to Africa than these images. Africa is not one big country it is a nation which is full of culture and rich traditions. But I feel that the beauty of Africa is very much over looked. I would be ignorant if I made excuses, but yes its true, that Africa does have a lot of problems.
So what I really wanted to ask was, do people think that Africa
is a terrible place to live and be , or are the media to blame so the negative image of Africa which is shown. Are African perpetuating their own problems, or is the media out to make money out of the plight
