Eyes on Africa - Review on the second radiant week of digging our stereotypes

Following the first week, digging our stereotypes was continuous. The thing I felt during this period with this presentation as being a presenter and one of audience was that even though our voice is not strong enough to be shown to the all over the world, we achieved a lot of fruitions. If our presentation could make stereotype of someone different, our fruition might be deserved as a prolific work. I was highly interested in the presentations of others. Our classmates made me realize something from their presentation. I hope my presentation can be meant in the same way that I feel their voices.

The conflicts between the tribe Hutu and Tutsi had been generally known by the movie, Hotel Rwanda. When I first saw the movie, I couldn't deeply feel sympathy. I thought I was a sentimental human. After watching the movie, my mind had mingled feelings that I haven't felt before. It was subtle feeling that I could feel a little bit. Francois who brought up with the society of Rwanda comparing with 3 periods showing the effects of Imperialism. With continuous gunshots, they might not know how they needed to finish the wars. The wars which seemed it was never going to be ended actually ended up with forgiveness between each other. Is that the epic of Africa? The thing that I could feel in their lyrical perspective was that African based on Hutu and Tutsi are extremely rational.
Most of people think wilderness of Africa when they first think of Africa. Jessica had characterized the fear of Africa which the wilderness is getting removed somehow. The thing that she had shared the tribe Massai with this the disappear of wilderness. Massai tribe is also known as the tribe that had no winner and loser. That presentation was not just making us feel compassion. If you think of it deeply, It can also be seemed differently. If no one seeks for own interest, there will be no conflicts happening. Like the Tribe Hutu and Tutsi, Massai Tribe can also indirectly show their emotion.
Based on the primitive Tribe, Dogon Tribe, Richard had shared the majour tourist attraction causes change in cultural. The thing that most areas of Africa had been applied that if population goes up, the amounts of limited resources decreased. Some classmates had presented their short stories realizing pathos from short stories. They may be the ones who had been looked deeply on colonisation and domination. They digged the words like colonization, Imperialism to show the class. Especially, Sabrina had done wonderful job. I had presented starting about the stereotypes of Africa. I absolutely agree that a lot of people are stereotyped. Sabrina had shown that we can not see inside the house that she had made surrounding by our stereotypes. She asked us to write something down when you think of Africa. Most students wrote allusions on the Continent Africa. HID, AIDS, Famine and so on. She sticked the ideas that audience wrote on the paper she had given on the surface of the house that she had made. It was amazing to let audience know that our stereotypes hide colorful Africa. It was fantastic.
It was really amazing to meet the sincere spirit of Africa with tribes.
