African Belief System Abstract: Scholars have misunderstood the concept of God and spirits in the African traditional religion. Many of the scholars saw Africans as people who did not have an idea of the Supreme Being, nor did them worship him (Awolalu, 1976). However, the paper shows that the concept of God is not new to Africans, but in traditional beliefs, it is no atheist. Most of the factors have led to this disagreement, such as the preconception by western scholars who measured the conventional view with Christianity. Lack of a precise study of African religion also led to a swift conclusion. The foundation, evangelization and most of the missionary activities of both Christian and Islam in many of the African countries resulted in the conversion of the indigenous people. Most of these people were from the African Traditional religion and converted to the two mission religions. Many of the religious beliefs and practices (immigrant religions) have an impact on the religious and cultural life of the traditional communities. Also, many of the indigenous religious beliefs and…

effective advertising influence on teens We all have been teenagers at some point in our lives, doing inappropriate things in public, playing a video game for ten hours, going out with friends until three am. And of course, wanting the most expensive gadgets such as the latest smartphone, popular shoes, and fashionable clothing. If you’re wondering how and why teens want to buy certain items, well, it’s all thanks to effective advertising. In today’s world, teens are, unfortunately, too concerned about the importance of buying a specific brand’s clothing. For example, the brand “Supreme” gained popularity not because they spend millions upon millions of dollars on advertising. They gained popularity because of the uniqueness that the brand has to a worldwide audience. When this brand became popular, teens would buy any item associated with this brand, even if it meant buying a useless brick. The main reason teens purchase these ridiculous high-cost products; it’s to then later brag about “how cool they are” on social media by posting pictures or lengthy writing notes, so then they’ll gain attraction to…

Advocacy paper Introduction Genetically modified foods, commonly known as genetically engineered foods (GE foods), are foods generated from organisms whose genetic composition is altered using genetic engineering techniques enabling the introduction of new traits. Since the inception of genetically modified foods commercial sales in 1994, different groups of people and organizations have debated on their safety to humans and animals following consumption, matters to deal with regulation, labeling, intellectual property rights, employed research methods and environmental impacts associated with these foods (Gizaw, 2019). The introduction of new techniques of these new varieties makes the crops resilient to adverse environmental conditions, increasing yields, and more resistant to pathogens. Extensive research has been conducted about genetically modified foods. Following thorough scrutiny of literature, I am advocating for more stringent measures against the cultivation and consumption of foods produced using genetic engineering techniques. By adopting stringent measures against production, distribution, and consumption of products containing genetically modified ingredients, different sectors will be protected. At the forefront is the health of the consumer. Genetically modified food has been associated with certain serious concerns. The…
Assata Shakur Introduction “Assata Shakur: An Autobiography” by Angela Davis tells the story of a black woman activist, her experiences, and her perception of society. The author uses this book to highlight the themes of oppression and resistance that characterized American society at the time of Assata. Shakur describes the oppression she was exposed to and the experiences that came with it. For instance, after shooing of the Turnpike, she receives a physical abuse from New Jersey police officers who were handling her case. Shakur describes her trial as a complete fabrication, characterized by racism and bias. Although she respected the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) approach to resistance to racism, she chooses to go with the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation army because she shared in their approach of armed resistance to oppression. Assata talks about her desire to be a revolutionary. She agitates for social revolution as the pathway towards equity and fairness in American society, especially for the minority groups. The author uses the experiences from Assata Shakur’s life to highlight the…
