Hunter-Gault gives an insight into the state of affairs, both political and social, of Africa from the inside. She addresses the Western media's tendency to cover only the negative aspects of the African condition, which she calls the four "D's" of the "African Apocalypse." While only negative media can have a mal effect on American perspectives and the African Renaissance as well, the traditional definition of "news," is that which is out of the ordinary, and usually pertains to the bad. Her approach of offering an alternative to the norm is both optimistic and inspiring. Her efforts may be able to change Americans' views or ignorance of the continent.

As far as I know in Africa are lots of disease. I think that the medicines are hard to find. I think it's a great idea to do something for them. I'm wondering if those pharmacy online can help them in some way. I think not.

It's a shame that you didn't give an intelligent response. Or maybe you're not intelligent.
