Our standard course of study includes making comparisons between historical and contemporary issues. The ability to govern one's own actions is a very personal and political issue. Look at the proverbs on page 130-131 in the text and browse some of the many proverbs here. Complete the following:
1. Write the three proverbs you picked for homework and explain what they mean in formal English.
2. For each proverb, note its origin (i.e., what region of Africa they are from).
3. On the site linked above, search for a proverb from another culture that has the same general meaning and copy it, noting its origin.
4. Answer: How are the proverbs different? What does this suggest about cultural differences?
