Discuss the relationship of language and religion in relation to their geographical characteristics.
the above statement has been haunting me for 5 whole days.. ok, honestly, minus the hours of sleeping in late and procrastinating..
there're so many things to write about to fill up 2000 words.. and after jotting down the points that i wanna write, 2000 words seem too little..
the more points i wrote, the more i think that i am straying from the objective of the essay question. my focus is on Kenya in eastern africa, where the official language is english and the national language is swahilih. there is a wide range of religions with protestants being the majority. islam is also practiced due to diffusion from north africa which is near its border. . . . . so.. i am gonna use Kenya as my model to show how religions originate, r spread, r diffused, dissipate due to environmental factors, circulation, colonisation, ehh.. etc etc. and how language can help conserve and even disperse it.. and why certain languages and religions can't crystallise in a place due to it geographical location.. and then add in my own views.. then how they play an integral part in shaping culture of a place, can i also talk about cultural identity? .. can i also talk about economic development coz although kenya has got very fertile soil, the main thing they grow is luxury crop like tea, on land owned by european companies.. therefore they are living in poverty, lack of food, poor economic development.. all these because they rely too much on foreign investment.. hmm.. i am feeding seeds to the bees and collecting honey from the birds liao..
i think i am hopeless. . . .
ok.. enough of lamenting.. i pray and pray that i will be able to hand in something that contains 2000 words (plus minus 10) to wong tai chee on wednesday.........
