I-Search+by+Christina

by Christina Congo, Africa has had many problems and many economic crisis. Many kids and families can't live in decent conditions because they have no money to pay any of their needs. Congo is the third largest country in Africa and the second poorest country in the world. There is a lot of political instability happening in Congo. In the news I hear about many different fights happening in Congo and a The Great War of Africa that had taken place in Congo. This war had many negative impacts on Congo that caused the country to lose a lot of money.

 * Part I--What I already know about my topic **

I wonder how the people in Congo have been taking care of themselves all of these years. How do they survive all the bad things going on around the world, and how do they try to become better and work harder to make something better out of their country? I wonder these things because even though Congo has has many things that involved their economic crisis, they are still a country but need help with what they are doing. All of us outside of Congo can help by sending money or different shelter to the families there. We can all help and be part of building a nice and decent living space for the citizens of Congo. What other things can we do so that we all put effort into building a nicer country in Africa? I also wonder how the different wars of Congo started and what the point of them happening was. Who started them off and why? Also, what are the living choices and different type of work in Congo? Theses questions help you understand the living space and daily agenda that is going on in Congo.
 * Part II--What I Want to Find Out **

The subject that I was searching to find out about Congo was what mainly brought this country to the economic problems is had and has had. During my I-Search, I have found out that the main reason that Congo is one of the poorest countries is because if firstly started off with two very big wars that Congo had had. Some people say that they were about as big as the World War. Congo lost a lot of money out of this war, and their government lost a lot of money, and didn't have a lot of power after this. When you want to research a topic about Congo, or any other type of country problems, just like I did, you should focus on your question. You should pick a book an a specific topic that you find to find out about, like economic problems, wars, governments, etc. The website that helped me research, and learn background information about Congo was:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/country_profiles/1076399.stm. This link helped me because it explained to me the different current things going on in Congo, and about how Congo caused their different economic problems.
 * Part III--The Search **

Through out this i Search, I learned plenty of new things involving my topic, poverty in Congo. The main questions that I was searching to find out was what caused the poverty and economic loss in Congo in the first place? I learned this through out my search by finding out about Congo's previous wars with other countries that mainly never got them out of debt. Some things that actually helped me with the creation of my game and the things that I found out were ways to help Congo, along with other countries on problems that they have.
