Ways of the World" by Robert W. Strayer Chapter 22 & Chapter 23

      Last chapters, last blog, and we did read the entire book! I did not think it was possible to get through everything but broken down the way we were instructed defiantly helped me. Chapter 22 and Chapter 23 definitely summed up history, Staryer did not disappoint.  I feel Strayer wrote this book like a story, you want to keep on going, and well at least I did. 
      I like the end of Chapter 23 when Strayer discussed about “Green and Global”. According to Strayer in the 20th century environmentalists became a matter of global legislation to control pollution in many countries. It has come to really affect us today and teach us how we must take care of the environment around us for the future and ourselves. I am now working for a carpet company and currently work on all the environmental stuff for them, LEED. I feel this is my part as contributing to keeping people healthy by using products that are environmentally safe for them on a daily bases. I also try to teach my children from the home front on how to recycle and make good choices for the environment for us now and for their future.

Many died during slave raiding and wars in Africa, during transportation and imprisonment from Africa to the Americas.     The kidnapping of Africans occurred mainly in the region that now stretches from Senegal to Angola. However, in the 19th century some enslaved Africans were also transported across the Atlantic from parts of e...
