Africa in the 19th Century


One insightful post about the 19th century


What do you think of when I say the country, Africa?
You must be guessing.. Do I meant Elephants/Giraffes or Tribes in Africa?


*I found a video on Slave Trade that can be found at my portfolio's homepage and I made a post for the video. :D** 


Slave Trade in Africa plays an important part of Africa's development. 
Trading in Africa is one of the main roles of Africa's development too. 

Africans trade Oil , Groundnuts , rubber, ivory and discovered of Gold and Diamond too. 
There are different kinds of trade such as legitimate trade. 

Legitimate trade is trading for agriculture and other products. 
 If there's no agriculture, then Africans cannot carry out trading, politics, religion, crafts, building, mining or other manufacturing Also, it will affect structure of social relation, pattern of authority, relations with neighbours, and response of African Communities.

People in Africa lived in homestead that are scattered not in centralized village communities and there are no formal markets for regular exchange. Although there are harsh conditions for living in Africa, Africans increased in social dealings. 
Africans also encourage foreign artisans and craft men to settle in or around Kano so tht they can sell their products there. 

Long Distance Trading is popular during the 19th century. Africans exchange of luxury goods (gold, beads, leather and salt) and it's in  small in bulk but high in profit.

Simulation Game that determines Houcheka

Also, we played a simulation game.  http://www.stopdisastersgame.org/en/playgame.html
This game can determine how we can prevent natural disasters and save as many people as possible. It also shows how we can use this knowledge for our World Simulation in our class. :)
As usual, Houcheka failed the task.


I,  Head of foreign affairs in Houcheka is pleased if any countries (from Humanities Class Block G) can help us in the crisis. :) We are happy to be in this world and also we would not want to have wars and competing with one another.

The Hadza Tribe Summary

There are only a handful of people in Hadza Tribe that knows how to speak Hadzane and English. 
They have no concept of time and they have lots of leisure time. 
Hadza Tribe also loves baboon but hate snakes. Hadza men have to kill 5 baboons before they can marry. The living conditions are peace and quiet. Also, they do not have wedding ceremonies. 


The Hadza people doesn't grow any crops (food) or rear any animals as they can get fruits from the tree or honey from the wild hives.  They only hunt for food and keep it in the biggest storehouse in their world.
