Google: The giant search engine plays a significant role in Africa's business
Africa's unstable economy and continuous ethnic conflicts are major causes that prevent its development. Many potential investors do not trust or have any confidence when it comes to business in regard to Africa.
Despite the continent, low internet connectivity and obstacles in the infrastructure, Google, one of the world's internet giants, wants to expand its services to Africa.
Even though Africa lags far behind other big emerging markets in the internet market and despite the expense of internet service, Google executives say Africa represents one of the fastest growth rates for the internet in the world.
According to the World Bank and research sites, Nigeria already has 24 million users. Other big users are South Africa and Kenya.
The amount of money invested by Google in its effort to get more people on the line is yet to be known. But Google says it has around 40 employees working on Africa-focused projects.
Among the first major plans of Google on the continent, since setting offices there three years ago, Google Maps was the expansion of google maps. Five years ago, detailed online maps weren't very available. There are now Google maps of 51 African countries.
Other technology companies are also targeting the continent's market. Microsoft Corporation, International Business Machines Corp, Cisco Systems Inc, and Hewlett-Packard Co have sales offices throughout Africa, selling office equipment and software to
fast-growing companies.
Every child needs a mother and a father.,
Every man has the right to decide his own destiny. One shouldn't discriminate against someone because of his or her religious beliefs or sexual preference.
From time memorial, many have been prosecuted, imprisoned and killed for their religious beliefs or sexual preference.
Hostility, hatred, and discrimination are now the new acts against gay couples and lesbians. Society doesn't want to accept their choice of partnership and recognize their 'rights' as modest people in society. They are seen as strange people from another planet and treated as outcasts.
Biblically, the sexual preference gays and lesbians have chosen or are fighting to be recognized and accepted in our society was exactly what led to the destruction of the cities Sodom and Gomorrah.
There are many Christians around the world, including Catholics, who read the Holy Bible daily but still practice gay and lesbian affairs. Even a pastor that supposed to lead people not to go astray officiates gay and lesbian marriages.
For some time now, a hot debate has been going on in many parts of the world over the decision of gay couples to adopt a child. Gays and lesbians think it is their right to adopt a child, but Society and many welfare organizations see it as an abominable act. Who is right or wrong?
The most prevailing influence anything can have on a child is the influence of his or her parents, especially the mother. Therefore, parents are required to develop virtuous morals and character.
For example, most children begin smoking very early because their parents smoke. The same thing applies to alcohol. Don't try to stop your child from smoking and drinking whilst you are a heavy drinker and smoker yourself.
Children get confused when faced with situations not certain sure of. I think a straight child may find him or herself in a very deep confusion when being raised in the home of gay couples. If a child wakes up in the morning, which of the two men is he calling daddy?
Seeing two men in bed every day is somehow a mental agony for this vulnerable child, who has no choice of her own to speak against or her dislike of that situation. And seeing two women kissing each day in front of her at home, which of them is she calling her mother?
In fact, desires, greed, selfishness, and lust in people do not enable or permit them to accept some things that are not right. The adoption of children by gays and lesbians is one typical example.
Are they not aware that sexual identity confusion is very common among children raised by gay parents? In the first place, if they are desperately looking for a child, why can't they have their own but choose to be lesbians and gays?
In my opinion, child adoption by gay couples and lesbians is completely wrong. The world must stand strong against it. They can choose to be gay or lesbian. That is their 'rights' and decision, but they must leave the children alone.
A pregnant drug addict
A drug-addicted pregnant woman has no conscience, sympathy, and remorse for the child she is carrying in her womb. All that she cares about is more drugs to satisfy her demand. The more they take it, the more they want it, talking about hard drugs like crack and cocaine.
Due to the constant taking of drugs which in turn take its toll on them, the possibility of damaging her fetus cannot be prevented. Some infants are born with deformed hearts, digestive systems, lungs, and limbs. Others develop serious or strange sicknesses as they grow.
A drug-addicted woman has no time for herself and her baby. Drugs induce them to neglect their babies. The common idea to feed her baby is not worthy and when they do, the children are inadequately fed.
A pregnant drug-addicted woman is always penniless. They sell whatever they have to raise money for drugs and many times, they abuse themselves more by selling their bodies. Some of these acts take place in front of the children.
It hurts to see an innocent baby going through such an ordeal because of the acts of an irresponsible mother. If they know that time is not available to take care of a child, why do they give birth to babies, without prevention?
In the past, many have suggested that such mothers should face punishment. As a matter of fact, neither punishment nor treatment for mothers can improve things. There are many drug addicts that were helped to get off drugs but later went into it again.
The only solution is the babies have to be taken from them. If there is any law which allows an addicted mother to have her child, that law must be abolished. Drug addicted mothers should be banned not to see their children.
Giving birth to a child without seeing them could hunt a mother for the rest of her life than one living in a haunted house. That could teach them a lesson in a very hard way. Even though some may not care about such actions, this is one important solution to reduce the birth rate of these irresponsible women.
Drug addicted mothers threaten the well-being of their children. If a mother can't take care of herself how can she take care of her child? Instead of trusting these children to the care of mothers who are killing the children softly, the children should rather be protected. Save the children.
