“If you think about the last 50 years, Africa's proximity and historical context has absolutely been with Europe and the United States, but their approach in dealing with the economic challenges that Africa faces in particular has been one of handing out aid, not developing economies, not building a long term relationship around agriculture and so on.” IfsThinkingYearsLongHas BeensStatesLastsFacesTermChallengesUnitedUnited StatesEconomyEconomicBuildingParticularApproachEuropeHistoricalAidsDevelopingLong TermAgricultureProximityLong Term RelationshipHistorical Context Author:Dambisa Moyo

“In short, Europe’s colonization of Africa had nothing to do with differences between European and African peoples themselves, as white racists assume. Rather, it was due to accidents of geography and biogeography—in particular, to the continents’ different areas, axes, and suites of wild plant and animal species. That is, the different historical trajectories of Africa and Europe stem ultimately from differences in real estate.” DifferentRealDifferencesWhiteAnimalParticularEuropeAreasAssumingPlantHistoricalSpeciesDuesAccidentsRacistContinentsStemEstatesGeographyTrajectoryColonizationAxesPlants And Animals Author:Jared Diamond

“As a Jew and a psychologist, I understand the stress that religious communities feel in connection with questioning of circumcision... I raise these questions out of deep caring and compassion, for our community generally, and our male infants in particular. We are inflicting, generally, unrecognized harm with circumcision, and the perpetuation of this harm is far greater a concern than the discomfort that comes from confronting the advisability of this practice. Many Jews who do not circumcise in North America, South America, Europe, and Israel support this view.” FeelsAmericaCommunityReligiousViewsCompassionPracticeSupportGreaterParticularEuropeConcernConnectionsStressRaisesSouthMalesJewIsraelCaringHarmQuestioningInfantDiscomfortPsychologistOur CommunityNorth AmericaConfrontingSouth AmericaCircumcisionReligious CommunityCaring And Compassion Author:Ronald Goldman
