Whether we often want to admit it or not, our Geography plays a tremendous part in our past, our current location, and where our futures will lead us. Geography also plays a part when it comes to our own contribution to society. Not too many people understand and admit the connection between their geography and their future. If we for instance have a look at someone growing up anywhere in the West, whether it is the US or the UK, would you not agree regarding the advantages that this person would have compared to those growing up in Western Africa?
It is clear and obvious the multiple opportunities at the disposal of the Westerner compared to those of the African. The existence regarding this phenomenon should not be looked at as disadvantaged vs. advantaged; it should rather be seen from a perspective of contribution and synergy. Often politicians and those deemed more educated would call these pipe dreams and idealistic. But could it just perhaps be that some would be able to find not necessarily a solution, but rather a connection between the contribution between the West and Africa, or any other Continent as it may be. Could it perhaps be that this connection could also serve to be the solutions to issues whether political, societal etc. Could it also be that this connection could serve and be beneficial for all parties rather than just benefit a handful, or one party?
All parties should be able to benefit and contribute towards each other to create a better future for all citizens of this Globe. The aim is for us to see the contribution that we are to play, to contribute to others and also be benefactors of our contribution. Whether we want to admit it or not, we are all interconnected. What happens in some other country or part of the world has as much potential to affect you and me, as your neighbour has. The distance and space between continents are no longer an obstacle or roadblock for the effects on your life.
