The Increased Misinterpretations of Africa

Compared to other continents, Africa is perhaps the most distorted. Little is known about Africa. This leads to a stereotypical account of the continent of Africa. Due to the lack of understanding of Africa, the research carried out by scholars is illegal or may be regarded as the predecessor of indigenous peoples in Africa. These stereotypes are often manifestations of Africa's inaccuracy and error. The general stereotype in Africa is that the entire continent is expressed as a dark continent facing poverty, violence and despair.

Sometimes misunderstanding is due to assumptions about disease. For example, "My cousin died of cancer, it is only a matter of time before I get it" or the virus is more likely to accelerate, people in Africa died of Ebola virus. There is a strict definition of health, and perhaps any discomfort means that the body is bad. Anxiety is a protective mechanism, and scanning body diseases seems to be the right way to protect yourself. But when we concentrate on something, we tend to notice it. When I wanted to buy a new car last month, I suddenly began to notice all the cars on the road; brand, model and color. I did not pay attention to it. Finding symptoms will make you aware of the delicate sensation you may overlook. When you concentrate on your body, those feelings will be more enlarged and will last longer.

The population of Africa has increased rapidly over the past 40 years and is therefore relatively young. In some African countries, more than half of the population is under 25 years of age. The total population of Africa increased from 229 million in 1950 to 630 million in 1990. As of 2016, the population of Africa is estimated at 1.2 billion people. The total population of Africa is newer than the other continents, the population of Africa exceeded Europe in the 1990s, and the US somewhat exceeded around 2000; the population surge in Africa is expected to exceed the current two sizes At about the same time, 1.4 billion people in India and China are planning to exchange rankings around 2022. The increase in the number of infants born in Africa is expected to reach about 37% in other parts of the world by 2050. This is only 21% in 1990.

In terms of average life expectancy, Africa made significant progress. However, the increase in life expectancy depends on the damage caused by the spread of AIDS. The average life expectancy in South Africa rose from 34 in 1930 to the highest in 1962 in 1990. However, by 2011, the life expectancy declined to 52 years. The influence on the epidemic of Ghana is small, and the average life expectancy from 28 years of 1921 to 64 years of 2011 has been extended. The Great Depression reminds us that the progress is unbalanced. In the United States, a country that is both a driving force and a victim of the economic downturn, per capita income adjusted for inflation and purchasing power parity fell 3.1% to $ 45,305 from $ 46,760 in 2008. A relatively small reduction in average income will not be too realistic for the pain of millions of Americans, especially those who lose their work and home.
