Education: The Key to Africa’s Future

Africa, a continent full of abundance and potential, is ironically hindered in desolation, deprivation, and chaos. The growth, future, and potential success of Africa is solely dependent on the education of its children. After identifying a number of educational barriers, defining the need for educational improvement, and documenting the efficiency of Western aid, this paper concludes that the West needs to recognize that it is the Africans who must ultimately save their own countries. However, Western programs and aid can help restore Africa when used thoughtfully and effectively. National programs and foreign funding must promote education that places value on the African “way of life,” assists the ‘people’ of Africa, and gives African children a sense of worth, hope, and acceptance in Christ

Conflicted tourism : heritage narratives, sectarian schism, and economic growth in Northern Ireland.

This thesis examines tourism as a politically charged facet of the economic process in Northern Ireland. While violence has abated in the region, sectarian conflict continues to affect Northern Irish society. Tourism has helped develop the economy by opening the market to visitors through the marketing of the region as unique and different. As conflict in the region is ongoing, the rise of tourism as a viable economic strategy raises the question: how does the Northern Irish tourist industry reconcile the past and ongoing conflict in order to present the region as a desirable tourist destination? The answer lies in the creation and appropriation of conflict sites. Conflict sites involve heritage. By focusing on these types of tourist attractions, attention is brought to the hidden – and continual – process of historical (re)formulation. The analytical categories of local-folk and official are instrumental in examining this process. They capture differing perspectives. The local-folk and official perspectives are not completely distinct. Instead they are intertwined and influence one another. They also vary across time and space. The concept of conflict tourism helps generate and address specific questions about such variation. How did the tourism industry develop within the socio-economic and political spheres? How has it affected these spheres? Most specifically, why and how have sites connected with the events of the Troubles been appropriated and reimagined as tourist spaces? Answering such questions requires attention to the socio-political framework of the Northern Irish economy, the creation and marketing of the tourism industry, the impact conflict has upon tourist activities, and the impact tourism has upon conflict
