Overcoming Challenges in Africa
Compose an
Essay
Your
essay will describe one of the diseases endemic in Africa. You may need to do 
additional research. The essay should include four paragraphs.
• In the
first paragraph, describe the history of the disease in Africa and what may
have 
caused it to surface.
• In the
second paragraph, describe the symptoms of the disease and how many Africans 
have died from it.
• In the
third paragraph, explain the challenges that scientists and health workers have
had
in treating the disease.
• In the
fourth paragraph, explain the successes that scientists and health workers have
had in preventing the disease from spreading and/or preventing deaths from the
disease.

The article must be historical and clearly relevant to any topic in the class.    It should focus on a topic of sex or gender history, as seen in this course, not general US history.  The article must be from the period 1817-1980, and should not be a book review or advertisement. 
I attached the news paper article and the instructions. I need a draft by 05/12 and the final paper by 05/17
The article of charitygils and city pleasures is within the course and can be link to my paper. 

Your task for this assignment is to research a Wikipedia page for a topic of your choosing (*see below for guidelines) and to describe how the record of that page has changed over time. You should aim to find larger trends, explain big changes (or series of changes), and try to offer explanation for those changes. Your essay should not be a description of a historical event/person, etc. as told by Wikipedia, nor should it simply be a list of individual revisions. It should instead seek to explain the “big picture” of how this particular page has changed over time. Imagine yourself knowing nothing about the topic and reading the Wikipedia page for the first time. And then imagine yourself reading the same Wikipedia page prior to significant edits. How might your (the reader’s) understanding of that topic be different based on which version of the page you read? Some questions to consider include:
What kind of material has been added/discarded? Are there common themes regarding these changes?
Are new interpretations (rather than simply fact) being offered in material that is being added/removed?
For factual edits, why might someone be including/removing that material? Could it advance (or counter) an historical interpretation that is not being explicitly advanced?
Do you see trends over time, where groups of chronological-similar edits differ markedly from a set of edits at a different period? – This might particularly be the case for a topic that has great significance/relevance today.   YOU CAN CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING https://youtu.be/ePce1msUYN0?si=PBunjvq-RbufXXIT 

My animal of choice is the Camel
One main result of your research and consideration will be a 6-8 page written essay assessing the historical and environmental changes connected to your selected animal.
The written version also requires the selection of at least two images incorporated into a tightly constructed and well-honed environmental history essay. The video edition should incorporate images and must include at least four relevant quotes from written material.
Your essay must include a description of your chosen animal and its relationships to humans and the environment, 2) the historical origins (causes) of an animal-centered issue, 3) an explanation of the course (development) of its history, 4) how this is connected to place, and 5) an assessment of what has made this better or worse (status/outcome/implication/promise).
A successful project will examine the origin, course, and implications of a particular slice of animal history. You can tilt this to your strengths and interests, but should discuss your topic and research strategy with Dr. Fountain as soon as possible – and regularly beyond that.
Consider the following themes and questions as you explore the role of animals in shaping human history and of humans in shaping the animal world:
• Introduction to Animal History: What are the varieties of animal history to explore? How do history, science, and philosophy intersect? How do indigenous understanding of animals differ from “Western” views? How is studying animals – that have their own mobility and agency – different than studying other kinds of history? What kind of intellectual choices can I make in this class?
• Ancient Animals: How did people incorporate animals into their worldviews? Why were some worshipped and others hunted (or sometimes both)? How did animals – both wild and domestic – shape the Ancient World? How did people come to know and understand animals? How did imagined and imaginary animals reflect culture and science?
• Colonial Animals: How did the place of animals change with the rise of colonization and capitalism? How did animals become “creatures of empire?” Have their roles as invasive species, as tools of conquest, as cultural companions – been positive or not?
• Biological Animals: How have animals made or reshaped ecosystems? How do extinctions, irruptions, or introductions impact history? What do students of history, policy, psychology, etc. need to understand about animal science? What do students of veterinary science, biologists, ecologists, resource managers, etc. need to understand about animal history?
• Modern Animals: How have conservation, preservation, and regulation of animals changed human-animal relations? How has modern animal representation changed the legal and scientific standing of species? What is the history of animal welfare and animal rights? Why do we care about some animals more than others?
•Philosophical Animals: Why are some animals food & others friends? Why are some animals vermin? What is the role of zoos and animal performers in shaping history and policy? Is reviving extinct species ethical? What is our responsibility to species or individual animals? Are animals active historical actors?
