I-Search+by+Alyssa

by Alyssa The topic I'm going to research on is Africa. Africa is sometimes a poor country, and people face many challenges and obstacles there. A lot of people there are homeless and dying of starvation. There are also many diseases that people there have to face, and may people die from these diseases. There are many charities that help out the people in Africa, because some people are very poor in Africa and need the help. The people of Africa face many challenges in their lives and it is sometimes a struggle for them to stay alive.
 * Title **
 * Part I--What I already know about my topic **

There are many things that i want to find out about this topic. What are the every day lives of poor people in Africa? What do they do to survive? What are their opinions on their lives? I would want to find out more about the everyday lives of the struggling and poor people in Africa. What diseases do the people in Africa face? What is the most common disease in Africa? What is the most deadly disease in Africa? What is the most rare disease in Africa? I would like to find out more about the diseases in Africa.
 * Part II--What I Want to Find Out **

I want to investigate about the lives of people in Africa, and how they deal with poverty, starvation, and the many diseases that they are exposed to. The game Urgent Evoke can help me investigate this because the game Urgent Evoke has to do with world issues such as poverty, starvation and diseases, and will help me learn more about what I am investigating. The game Ayiti: The Cost of Life can also help me investigate my topic. While playing the game Ayiti, it helped me have a better understanding of the difficulties people face that live in poor countries such as Africa, and this game has to do with the global issues that i am investigating which is poverty, starvation, and the many diseases in poor countries such as Africa. The game that I think will help me the most in my investigation is Ayiti: The Cost of Life because it is related to the global issues that I am investigating. AIDs is a major issue in Africa. Between 1999 and 2000 more people have died from AIDs in Africa than in all the wars on the continent. Many, many people in Africa are diagnosed with HIV/ AIDs, a deadly disease that attacks a humans immune system. About 33.4 million people in Africa were living with HIV. In Africa there were 2 million deaths from AIDs. This is a large amount of Africa's population. This is an example of disease in Africa. I think that HIV/ AIDS is an issue in Africa, and many of Africa's population has to deal with this deadly disease. Poverty is also an issue in Africa. Many people in Africa are affected by poverty. Africa is a very poor place, and they have been poor for a long time. Poverty in Africa leads to hunger and starvation, and even death. This is a very sad thing. Thousands of people in Africa die because of these issues. For my interview, I will interview a model that I know that is from Africa. She is from South Africa. I plan to ask her about what life was like in Africa, did she face any of the issues in Africa such as hunger and poverty before she came to America, and what it was like growing up in South America. I will interview her because she is from Africa, so she has experienced what Africa was like, and I could ask her many questions about Africa that she will probably be able to answer. I think that I could learn a lot more about Africa if i interviewed her because she has experience. I think that Africa has many issues that affects many people in Africa, especially children in Africa. Many people in Africa that are suffering from poverty also suffer of diseases and starvation.
 * Part III--The Search **

I have learned many things about Africa while writing my I-Search. i learned about many facts about Africa. One important thing that I learned about my topic was that all though Africa has what it takes to become a rich continent, Africa continues to be poor because of poor leadership. I learned that Africa's president has poor leadership qualities, and that is why Africa continues to be a poor continent. I also learned about the amount of people that get affected with HIV/AIDs in Africa, which is a major issue. I also learned more about poverty and hunger in Africa while investigating my topic. I have learned many new things about Africa in the process of investigating my topic for my I-Search.
