The majority of growth of the human brain happens after birth.While unrelenting stress can damage developing structures of the limbic system, calibrated challenge can positively stimulate brain growth. Teachers have an important role in assuring students of their safety when taking on new challenges.This video is supported by yes. every kid., an initiative that aims to rethink education from the ground up by connecting innovators in a shared mission to conquer "one size fits all" education reform.

TRANSCRIPT:
PAMELA CANTOR: We're mammals. And as mammals, the majority of the growth of our brains happens after we're born. So this is a very, very crucial thing to understand. The majority of the growth of the human brain happens after birth. And we know that it takes a long time for the human brain to develop. There are critical periods like zero to five, and there are new critical periods of great sensitivity that are being discovered. The newest of them is actually adolescence. But a human baby has what's called "experience dependent growth." Their brains are astonishingly malleable, and they grow in response to the experiences and relationships that we expose them to. So one of the first principles of human development and brain development is this astonishing feature of the human brain because it's made up of tissue that is the most susceptible to change from experience of any tissue in the human body.
There are three things to remember about brain development. One is astonishing malleability, experience dependent growth and the role of context. But I still haven't told you how context actually gets under the skin and into the brain. And in order to do that I need to tell you about the limbic system. The limbic system is the part of the brain that responds to things like emotion, attention, concentration, memory and it consists of three structures. There's the prefrontal cortex, which involves focus and attention. There's the hippocampus, which has many functions in memory. And then there's the amygdala which is the emotion center of the human brain. These three structures develop together. They're intimately connected and cross wired. The limbic system is the learning center of the brain. But to talk about how context gets inside, I want to give you two examples. And the two examples are the systems that govern stress and the systems that govern love and trust.
The first is our stress response system, and this system is mediated by the hormone cortisol. So when we experience stress, we get that fight-flight-freeze feeling where our heart starts to pound and the hair goes up on the back of our neck. And that stress response is actually a good thing. It's adaptive. It helps us focus. It helps us prepare for something like a recital or a performance.
When this system is triggered over and over again by unrelenting stress it can get locked in the on position. And when that happens to children because of overwhelming stress, stress that is not buffered by the presence of an adult this kind of stress can produce damage and consequence to the developing structures of the limbic system. In fact, what can happen is the amygdala, the emotion center of the brain can grow disproportionately to the development of the other two structures.
And those other two structures, the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus are vital for learning. So adversity doesn't just happen to children, it happens inside their brains and bodies through the biologic mechanism of stress. So that's an example of how context can get inside our bodies and our brains. But fortunately, there's an upside to this story in the hormone system that's mediated by the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is known as our love-trust hormone. And interestingly that hormone has the same target in the brain as cortisol, the structures of the limbic system. Because the limbic system is covered with receptors for these two hormonal systems. So when a person has the experience of a human relationship that can buffer stress what...

I’m a Nigerian (West African). Honestly my nation & continent is corrupt(both people & leaders) the brain drain of smartest people going out of Africa, disunity of African Union, poor people having many kids & worst of all we manufacture less & import more. Please Non-Africans encourage the small good we Africans do. It can go a long way 🙏❤️
Moyin Adegbie as a Nigerian myself Nigerians like to always point fingers at everyone yes the government is bad but Nigerians don’t like change they like their backwards superstitious ideas we have to raise our kids to be forward thinkers and leave all the juju alone in the past
Finally
An African talking about Africa
@Gingerbreadman GanjaFarmer TRUE. FACTS. But when an already POOR nation is corrupt then it’s way worse
I know. I am a Nigerian too.
@Gingerbreadman GanjaFarmer I'm an American. Yes we have plenty of corruption. But you still get plenty of government services and the corruption doesn't stop you from from easily doing business. When the corruption is soo bad that a rich government is not providing services and conducting business is such a headache that most say "screw this I can't succeed here" like in Nigeria. Then that is a major problem. That is the difference of corruption in Nigeria. It is so bad it is crippling and stops all progress.
I'm Nigerian and can confirm he's right. Correct, but sooooo not complete. We Africans ourselves need to look in the mirror.
Africa will be much better off when it gets the (foreigners) off it's lands.
This guy is full of shit.😐
@@michaelmiller1060 it does it’s independent but even before colonialism took place Africa as a continent was economically unedeveloped and most countries poorly run politically. Actually colonialism helped Africa as a continent in a lot of ways to develope economically but also in a lot of ways really damaged it with the drawing lines between different countries, so many languages and politics and the taking of African countries revenues - but to say it was much better before is untrue it was worse before and just as bad after I think most African countries are just really unmanageable countries similiar to the Middle East the political jobs are just poison chalices as there’s so much issues to sort out in most countries!
@@mickeymouse3933 Yeah they've done incredible amounts of damage and strolled trillions from Africa but it was politcally worse and not united at all before.
@@ayo123 exactly so it’s a lose lose for Africa before and after more developed after but just as bad in every other way.
i think Africans do need that outlook but france and some other places that are holding that $$$ thats out of Africa and WONT give it back
It's all so tiresome.

Well you know what they say “its never too late to learn”
How come, aren't you Igbo?
We need to make a new language quick
@@joyjimmy4068 we have 400
English is one for them and you're speaking it
If Africans focus more on business, investment, and academics (including medicine) rather than politics, could they spark a new economic boom that could provide more jobs and feed the poor?
not while corporations keep funding authoritarian governments for cheap resources and labor.
We do
What's important is policy. They love communism and socialism here. The African leaders of today know very little of legislation, or political theory, that actually works because most of them haven't seen it from their forefathers. They only know the politics of villages that were ruled by chiefs and haven't had proper parliamentary experience. South Africa elected a man, who can be appreciated for his part in the struggle, but hadn't finished high school. This guy had TWO terms, was in a fraud case BEFORE being elected. A friend of mine just shrugged it off when I compared it to the Clinton/Lewinsky case and how Clinton was set aside because of his indiscretions. Two terms later the country is in junk status, economically. The irony, the guy they kicked out had a PhD in economics and he was well spoken and a hard worker. The people lack education and moral decency. The leaders lack a real love for their nations and have an unquenchable thirst for power. All of that other stuff is secondary. They don't want to do anything or they don't know what to do.
Yes and do u know what makes it better Africans are eager 2 learn
That is why politics must first be fixed. If they can't fix that, they will have a hard time moving on.
mindset, culture is the biggest hurdle for africa
culture in what way

Its a mixture of unforgiving environment, corrupt leaders and the conflict of ethnic groups.

@Malusi Ndlozi west? Lol China is all over Africa.
@viral videos stop making excuses
Right, like the USA.
And?….
400 languages in Nigeria. Diversity is a weakness everywhere.
India has 20,000 languages
Tanzania we have more than 180 local language but we have United and use Swahili as nation language, we never had any political instability and civil war since independence, we have no tribalism or racism in Tanzania. But is still agree with him failed states is big issue in Africa, most African states they have failed to unite as one state, this cause war, injustice and corruption.
@@juliawambura4069 thank you Julia. You gave what would have taken a long time to find for me.
Just like every place on earth, it's actually the lack of education and even more important the lack of intelligent conversations at home that are the cause of most of humanities biggest problems!

Absolutely right? Education
But they all can speak English well
@@saurabgamerz8613 being able to speak English well doesn't equal being more educated. At the end of the day, it's just a language. What you use that language for is what matters

Blacks are raised with a tribal mindset but also looked down upon by other civilizations has really taken its toll on the continent
I was listening to an educated black guy once, he said before boys are taught to be men and before girls are taught to be women BOTH are taught to be black. These people have no hope.
I'm in South Africa, the problem is laziness, entitlement, corruption, greed and a complete and utter lack of any sense of: urgency, responsibilty, accountability, pride or introspection. Basically, "someone else will do it" or, "its not my job", and of course the perennial, "it's apartheid's fault".
Laziness that the problem
one word.. "Japan" they were nuked to shit and bounced back to one of the most powerful economies, nearly rivaling(ish) that of the US at some point.
Virmana germany and they didnt need foreign aid they even had to pay everything they caused and now look at them.......well or how about the netherlands...mhmmmm weird
[ ] Step 1: Convince these people that race does not exist but all humans are one race with different skin colors, so they will believe they will be replaced “by themselves but different skin color” Step 2: Create fake reasons why immigrants should come to live with that people (skilled workers, guest workers, refugees, students, family reunification…) Step 3: Ban statistics on race and religion among different age sections of that nation Step 4: Repeat the same lie that foreigners are just 5 or 7 percent and will not change your nation Step 5: Give huge welfare money to foreigners to finance their useless presence or finance their breeding like rabbits of children Step 6: allow every foreigner to bring his brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, wives and all family, who also will bring their relatives as well Step 7: Give nationalities to all these foreigners Step 8: promote all the movements that reduce the birth-rate of the natives such as anti-family movies, abortion, easy-sex, homosexuality, transcendentalism, individualism, Step 9: Inflict poverty conditions on the native people by stripping them from their hard-work money to finance the welfare system. In France, Germany, Sweden, a young person who works will loose almost 32% of his/her monthly salary to the government which will make him/her reluctant on making Children or forming couples Step 10: Promote race-mixing, miscegenation between the foreigners and the natives in every movie, every TV show, every cartoon for children, every education book, every publicity Step 11: Ban free -speech about foreigners, Islam or race by imposing political correctness and social organizations that fight “racism” so the natives will shut their moths and accept their own genocide Step 12: Promote the cultures of foreigners, promote Islam, promote all other races cultures and identities except the culture of the natives and Christianity Step 13: Jail the leaders, the thinkers, the intellectuals & writers who are trying to awaken the masses by labeling them far-right Nazis who are spreading “hate” or “terror” Step 14: Make the natives hate themselves, their history and all the great achievements of their ancestors. Re-write their History to destroy their pride in their race, ancestors or culture so they will not care about being replaced Step 15: Promote Guilt in the brains of natives, that they are responsible for all the miseries of other races & nations Step 16: Promote individualism, the lies of global warming & overpopulation and promote humanitarianism. So the natives will stop having babies, instead they think about global warming or they want to adopt children from other countries of different races Step 17; Ban free-speech about the real rulers of that nation, the J who are behind this sophisticate Genocide that will take just few generations to be accomplished
@Virmana, The reason why Japan and China are strong independent nations is because they don't allow Europe to bird feed them......"Any leadership that teaches you to depend upon another race is a leadership that will enslave you"...Marcus Garvey.
I think it’s called reparations the thing black Americans never got
@@tribalbey1378 They didn't need to be bird fed(comment above). I find the term 'reparations' kinda sad and embarrassing. It makes me realize why you were enslaved in the first place, because you have your hands out like lazy pathetic men.. and instead of money you got shackles, then act surprised. Stand on your own too feet and stop asking for free gibs 150 years later. What did you do with them trump bucks? buy trendy shoes, weed, pay off your drug dealer? how about a ticket back to africa?
@@tribalbey1378 The descendants of the Africans who captured their fellow Africans and sold them to the Europeans should pay the reparations.

kaswayne you could give africa ten thousand years of complete isolation, no interference, and it would still be in the same undeveloped state it is now. worse probably, since it wouldn't be getting significant aid from developed nations.
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Books Everyone needs a boost. Aide is not just giving people money. It can be knowledge transfer from the West to Africa. The Latins took from Greeks and the Greeks from the Egyptians. The west started with something. They started from a foundation from which they build on. The West could only succeed by taking from the discoveries of many other non-westerners. The Indians and Arabs came up with number systems that we use today. They still are very good with numbers to date. The Egyptian brought Pythagoras theorem. Euclidean geometry came from the Roman (Greeks) not from Europe. Plato and Socrates to name a few. The West had the means and the motive to get where they are today. They had the resources, most of which came from Africa btw to build and fund research. Their system of parliament came from Greek and Latin model. Their democracy came from Rome. The Latins took over Europe and help them get to where they are today. Africa, the Arab countries, India and China were in trade for centuries b4 Europe was even on the map. So you can’t say that Africa could never get anywhere if it wasn’t for the West. There are still Japan and China close by that could still help them with that push start. Europe had lots of help. Europe was aided. When they were wise enough to start exploring they realised that gun power was their most prized possession because it help them to do what they did to the world. Europe started off as farmers. They still are so good at it. I really love white people. Every race a matter of fact. I don’t like that Europeans genuinely believe that Africans are inferior and less intelligent than anyone else. I understand, why many might come to that conclusion but it’s more complicated than that. The same was said about the Chinese. As soon as they got the opportunity, they showed the world that the assumptions made about them are untrue. The contemporary African thinking is changing. You’ll never know what God has in store for us. You didn’t create us. You don’t have our manual to know how we function. We should be working together for a better world for all. Not just for a few elites. I appreciate your comments. They motivate us to keep pushing the boundaries and making ourselves better. We actually want better and we are willing to learn. Thanks you again for sharing your interest in us. ✌🏾😇
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Books Aide is a paper that the West print on though. Real wealth is the oil, gold, platinum and diamonds that Africa has and the West steal. Give us paper for diamond is no real exchange right?
uhhh, ya no. aid is millions of bushels of wheat and rice to feed your population-- without anything given in return.
I Love That Katie Loves Classic Book Is that what they told you? There are lots of poor countries in the world. There are lots of poor people in world including millions in the West who are not receiving aide. The question is, why single out Africa? Why are so many European companies here taking the natural resources below the market value. Maybe if they were paying market prices for our resources, we wouldn’t need your aid. There are corrupt politicians in Africa, but corruption is everywhere. It’s just hidden very well by western media. There is still poverty in the West despite all your wealth. Few efforts are being made to help the poor in the West. Lots of Westerners working in Africa and the Middle East. So the West is not as glamorous as you think. Better than Africa because of help it got in the past, but not significantly better off. Millions in the West still die of cancer, aids, diabetes and many other health related diseases despite your technology. The West has it’s problems. You’d wonder why they are so concerned for Africa. Thanks though. It helps me to understand how you guys think, which is very shallow. An African country recently helped a European one out of debt. There was no media coverage about that. You rely too much on the media for your education. You should do more research b4 making sweeping claims, that will only expose your ignorance about the world.
1 word: taxes.
Im in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia right now. In the part of the city that I'm staying now, I notice most goods are sold through street vendors that set up tents and want to haggle over the price. Most of which don't pay taxes. They take up so much space but bring no income to the state. Therefore, the state, has no money to build or even maintain the infrastructure. So the governments are reaching out to China to help them fund (loans) and build the infrastructures for them.
So do you think taxes will fix this issue
Yes @@noob3604
I am a Nigerian. In my country, greed is the top character of our leaders. Virtually all the 'leaders' put personal interest above national interest and this single manner has crippled my dear country overtime.
It's Not different From kenya
I’m going to say this now and keep on saying it until we get it through our thick heads as Africans, particularly darker skinned Africans. Besides Europeans coming to the African continent and further setting darker skinned Africans back, Africans have no one but ourselves to blame for our position in the respective countries we predominantly populate due to corruption, the lack of care we have for each other as far as our development is concerned infrastructure and intellectual development. I made an observation about our people globally and how our environments are very similar in appearance around the world. We need to stop blaming white people and other groups of people for our position and stand up and do something about it. The most embarrassing thing we can do as a people that look like us is constantly hold our hands out for people to help us solve our own or problems. Of the Human species we have the smallest brain sizes but we don’t seem to utilize our brains as efficiently as we should. I know I’m going to get cursed out by my people because I every time I point out shit like this and say it’s our own fault and we should have fought harder to protect our continent and our peoples, we always deflect and blame someone else and I’m about tired of it.
Finally. FINALLY someone said it. That's the actual thing they don't want to hear and it is so sad.

As we all know, Africa was a center of technological & cultural advancement and innovation before the Colonial Era.
Oh wait....
Ashen Empress
Not all empires are created equal. The "kingdoms" that arose in Africa are particularly unimpressive. They didn't contribute anything significant to the world around them, and they failed to create a competent, or enduring political infrastructure. There was almost no technological/cultural advancement. As far Egypt is concerned, it's hardly an African civilization in the sense that he's talking about in the video. It has more in common with West Asia than it does the rest of Africa, and that difference shows to this day.
Just because they aren't westerners doesn't mean they have a lack in development. You have lost your mind.
Actually it was. Timbuktu and the Mali empire were centers of intellect and commerce while Europeans were dying left and right from the plague because they only washed their hairy asses once a year
Egypt is in Africa, but they are not black Africans, they are arabs
daniel yasin Africa has the most diverse skin tone in the world.You will find different colours of different shades of skin indigenous to the continent;the lighter shades being admittedly few and far between but African in origin all the same.
You will also do well to discard the notion that all dark toned skin somehow has its origins in Africa.
Blaming Europeans for Africa's lack of progress. 😁
typical of liberals and leftists !!!!
Umm sounds like rich brat
Who else is to blame except silly europe and america?
I am right leaning but sometimes I feel genocidal against my race due to the sheer embarrassment they have brought to themselves. There is a video on youtube where he says to a Congolese man that after colonization, European ancestors had left dozens of resources my ancestors to observe and learn from yet they destroyed all of it. Maybe I should go to a mental hospital? Nah, you'll probably see me on the news someday.
"Teenager goes on a genocide against own race" Yeah, it'll be perfect.

Apart from ancient Egypt, Africa is the only continent not to develop. When the Colonizing nations move out, the economics have regressed.
Kevin Wall African economies are higher than ever before, including during colonialism.
And still getting a shit ton of foreign aid. They'd be a lot less of without it, esp the anti-retrovirals which probably would have knocked their populations in half by about now, without.
Seen 20 You say that, but you will keep giving aid. Cause when Africa gains self sufficiency your whole way of life is over. And you know it too.
You are a liar When the colonialists moved out the all Africa economy was equivalent to belgium economy at that time. Today african economy is nearly equal to India economy Is India also a cursed land just like Greece and portugal ?
In the immediate post colonial period African economies were growing at substantially high rates. It only began regressing as a result of the debt crisis of the 1980s
Your comments are so general that they're completely unhelpful, to the point of irrelevance.

Name checks out
The biggest problem in Africa is lack of problem ownership at any level.
White colonizers have exploited Africa for a long time which stunted their growth. I’m White. Trust me, it’s White people.
There are many factors. Not all colonies served the same geopolitical advantages to their colonizers. Africa was also colonized more extensively than other countries.
Asian colonization was nowhere near as extensive as African colonization, and tended to rely much more on co-opting existing power structures than building entirely new ones. That's because Asia had existing power structures to co-opt--local imperial barons that controlled large amounts of land. Much of Asia was also not colonized.
Borders were drawn mostly to suit the convenience of whatever western country wanted to do business there after the colonian powers left, and there is an emerging literature indicating that borders that cut across ethnic lines are a recipe for conflict, and thus poverty.
In Asian colonies, borders were cut along ethnic lines while in Africa they cut right through them. Colonizers fucked it up for them since the beginning.
You know you can Google this, right?

@@33cattt49 western society and education is pure rot. Its the most morally bankrupt society. They had to destroy every other culture just to make western society seem appealing.
The One thing that differentiates rich countries from poor countries is education. How could you educate a people using other languages other than their mother language. Imagine if USA used Chinese as their education language do you think they will achieve the success they achieved, do you think they will have brilliants entrepreneurs that create big companies and provide jobs for peoples, do you think have brilliant doctors, engineers, lawyers....etc.. Same problem in Africa almost all countries in Africa use their colonizer language in education because of the multi ethnic problem of which every one demand to use their language as education for example in Nigeria there's 300 languages Ethiopia more than 80 language. Sorry for my English because it is not my primary mother language and we use French in my country Djibouti for education instead of Somali because afar won't like it and same for us also we won't allow afar. We can't also develop all languages because of the money it needs of which stupid corrupt leader are stealing it.
When a dynastic dictatorship of six decades in Africa that represents ruin, violence, misery to people in Africa has the mean to export its terror , its violence in some European countries where where everything you have achieved is ruined in the name of the tyranny in Africa and deprivation is deployed to make sure you don't move forwards, this gives you an idea of why development in Africa is so difficult. I am an African from Togo.
Togo was a refuge from Lagos. Poolside at the De la Paix hotel, having a drink, and listening to music from 20, years earlieer.
We Indians have the same story. Our politicians are always looking for validation from western nations rather caring for life of our own people. Although I don't agree with the politics of China but I admire the way they dealt with the west and benefitting their own people.
I'm assuming he's speaking of sub-Saharan Africa, although I'm not sure that the states bordering the Mediterranean are that much better.
Every revolution in Africa has proposed to do exactly what this journalist proposes be done (i.e., put the power back into the hands of the people) in order to garner support, but then every regime has subsequently indulged in horrendous corruption, as well as significant levels of violence in order to remain in power when that support evaporated (and please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd like to know the exception to this pattern). So...if past is prologue, and if we're not engaging in the textbook definition of insanity, why should any reasonable person expect that things might soon be different? Have Africans experienced some sort of epiphany which might allow them to make better decisions from now on? Have they abandoned the lingering passivity which leads them to put a strongman in power, rather than support democratic institutions? Or is something else going on? Are Africans going to renounce violence any time soon? Pardon me if I don't hold my breath waiting for that to happen...
Corruption diverts foreign aid and donated money to ruler's Swiss bank accounts, foreign real estate. With that being said, Africa is big. It has countries with varied level of economic development. Some countries are rising like Ethopia, some are still in poverty like Congo and South Sudan. You can't just categorize it as a whole.

Yep Nigeria is definitely a messed up colonial state and spitted so my language speaking region(Yoruba) from Benin ,Togo, Ghana, and Nigeria. Which is causing conflicts recently, because our colonials has mixed us up with our historical enemies, the Fulani’s and it’s caused so many killings because of cultural beliefs. And my region is now fighting for independence in Nigeria to have our own nation as well and since we are the majority anyways.
So how do you think we will move forward now you want to cut a away, why not build a new nigeria, a Nigeria that says no to hausa rulers.
Why does everything have to be European’s fault?

Many, many parts of the world have been under colonialism. Yet only africa is like africa.
Development in africa is difficult because subsaharan africa is filled with low IQ, high time preference, impulsive people. They never even invented the wheel. This is because of the environment they live in and how it affected their biological evolution. They never had to engage in such collective behavior which demanded they survive harsh winters and farm livestock and grow crops.
you know you and like many whites use the IQ argument as the sole reason that Africa is in this state when clearly many factors are in play here. But why bother researching it, it's convenient to say that black was, are, will always be dumb to you.

Imagine a city full of 10 storey buildings that are full of people. Now imagine a city full of 1 storey buildings that are full of people. Which city do you think will produce more stuff?
There are plenty of reasons to call white people stupid, but asking why we think building cities with larger living spaces is an improvement over building cities with smaller living spaces is not one of them.

@Christine Chapotoka Moo Dude this question you asking me, I hope it's genuine
My friend's son recently left to spend 2 years in Senegal with the Peace Corp. Before leaving he had to complete an apparently quite intensive week of "orientation". The week starts with a welcome talk and a brief overview. Some Peace Corp higher up gave the talk. The third "paragraph" of his talk started with the sentence "Much of Africa is a highly fecalized environment". He went on to describe how the way they take a shit over there, you just go where ever you want or is most convenient. On the sidewalk? if you want. in the streets, in the woods, off the side of the bridge into the river below.Apparently that's how it's always been done, to the dawn of time. So, the trainees were told to always carry at least a small cloth to cover their nose and mouth any time the dry wind of the hottest months blows, kicking up cloud of dust from the streets and the land. they were told if a sample of that dust were tested, it would be as much microscopic shit particles as it was clay. And the speaker warned the trainees the most serious way possible. Do not drink the water. Do not bath with the water. do not launder or clean dishes or cutlery with the water. Do not step in puddles, do not go swimming or wading. In fact, if you walk past water, do so at the greatest possible distance. He said the water there was so contaminated with all sorts of hideous parasites that the PC goes to great lengths at great expense to ship water from the USA or Europe to the regional PC facilities for the use of PC employees. even water for laundry.
They were given similar warnings regarding aanimals, pets and livestock.

That man has a very clean mind and innocent conscience
The short write-up from PAMELA CANTOR sums the origins of African developmental failure (the children cognitive capacity is often not well developed). Africans have this historical negative attitude towards children and women. Children and women have no say in African culture, both are often abused through neglect and brutality. The children are often too many in a family unit and they suffer both malnutrition and low parental care, this issue is seen in the large number of out of school children in Nigeria. Additionally, Africans continuously brought up their children with vague understanding of the real world dynamics, by infusing them with superstitious beliefs. We also have huge inferiority complex, we only see foreigners as more capable e.g. Europeans and Asians. There is this disrespect for education among "traditional" African people, education through innovation and independence in research is often frown upon. People in Africa hardly bother about their environment in terms of urban and regional planning, simple hygiene etc. There are so many community issues but I mentioned just a few.
There's so much to say concerning the style of leadership in Africa, but this platform will not be enough, so I will only mention the innate weakness of the system of leadership. In Africa, people still have this Alpha male admiration, consequently leaders often have a free reign (disrespect for the copied white man constitution) on the natural resources (material resources) and Human Resources. More often than not, the leaders are not qualified as per merit, they are often the worst among the people of their communities. The above issues might be common in other races/regions, but I see it magnified in Africa in recent human history. I do not see the fault of colonial masters, the fault might exist while they colonise us, but after independence its entirely the fault of Africans. We can not blame the colonial masters forever, somehow we have to take responsibility for our failure. Am a Nigerian..
Most African nations are young, and we are figuring things out albeit influence from other nations. Give it 40 yrs from now, if there is no world war, we shall be in a different place.
Besides the western society is no heaven, behind all those sky scrapers and nice roads there are homeless people, people who drive luxury cars with a lot of debt in their life.

He lists not having an everyday or poor person being a political leader as a problem for Africa. When is the last time America chose an everyday poor or even middle class person to be president? We would laugh at them too. What? Your not successful. Why should we make you president?
I speak as a person from Botswana. We have universal free education and health care, ranked high on corruption index and a great country to invest in. When we increased our currency and was the same as the a second world country, it was forcibly reduced by Britain with fear of its affects on trade... Politics is the problem.
Botswana is one of the Rare Cases where the Leader was actually Good, which led to it's Development. Most Nations don't have that type of Leadership.

At the end he offers a hopeful diagnosis that rich Africans will start investing in Africa and transform the political and business landscape... This video is from 2012, and things have inarguably gotten worse (coup in Burkina Faso only this year, constant instability in central Africa, Nigerian politics might be even worse). It's not totally fair to ask rich Africans to deplete their wealth by having them invest in countries where the government can steal it at a moment's notice. The few dozen truly rich African businessmen would just as likely wind up broke, and current dictators wind up a little richer. ...The system is so entrenched towards corruption and dysfunction, that to truly "fix it," you would have to have an outside behemoth like the United States come in and deliberately, forcefully commit military and economic resources to reform the various corrupt governments and autocracies. The U.S. will probably NEVER do that, and the only big country that seems truly interested in Africa is China, where they are doing the exact opposite of what America did in Iraq and tried to do in Afghanistan: stripping democracies, empowering the worst dictators, enabling genocide or the worst human rights violations, and stealing the resources as part of a Colonialism 2.0
Great point but I dislike painting the US or like countries as saviours. They look out for their own interests. If you can't fix your own problems to the extent they did theirs, you have a serious core issue as a society

[ ] Step 1: Convince these people that race does not exist but all humans are one race with different skin colors, so they will believe they will be replaced “by themselves but different skin color” Step 2: Create fake reasons why immigrants should come to live with that people (skilled workers, guest workers, refugees, students, family reunification…) Step 3: Ban statistics on race and religion among different age sections of that nation Step 4: Repeat the same lie that foreigners are just 5 or 7 percent and will not change your nation Step 5: Give huge welfare money to foreigners to finance their useless presence or finance their breeding like rabbits of children Step 6: allow every foreigner to bring his brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, wives and all family, who also will bring their relatives as well Step 7: Give nationalities to all these foreigners Step 8: promote all the movements that reduce the birth-rate of the natives such as anti-family movies, abortion, easy-sex, homosexuality, transcendentalism, individualism, Step 9: Inflict poverty conditions on the native people by stripping them from their hard-work money to finance the welfare system. In France, Germany, Sweden, a young person who works will loose almost 32% of his/her monthly salary to the government which will make him/her reluctant on making Children or forming couples Step 10: Promote race-mixing, miscegenation between the foreigners and the natives in every movie, every TV show, every cartoon for children, every education book, every publicity Step 11: Ban free -speech about foreigners, Islam or race by imposing political correctness and social organizations that fight “racism” so the natives will shut their moths and accept their own genocide Step 12: Promote the cultures of foreigners, promote Islam, promote all other races cultures and identities except the culture of the natives and Christianity Step 13: Jail the leaders, the thinkers, the intellectuals & writers who are trying to awaken the masses by labeling them far-right Nazis who are spreading “hate” or “terror” Step 14: Make the natives hate themselves, their history and all the great achievements of their ancestors. Re-write their History to destroy their pride in their race, ancestors or culture so they will not care about being replaced Step 15: Promote Guilt in the brains of natives, that they are responsible for all the miseries of other races & nations Step 16: Promote individualism, the lies of global warming & overpopulation and promote humanitarianism. So the natives will stop having babies, instead they think about global warming or they want to adopt children from other countries of different races Step 17; Ban free-speech about the real rulers of that nation, the J who are behind this sophisticate Genocide that will take just few generations to be accomplished
