The Derogatory Mentality of French Colonial Africa (original) (raw)

The 21 st century might be praised for many achievements such as post modernism, globalization, and the wide breakthrough of the internet whose dawn has bequeathed the information technology age, which has added value to human life and coexistence. The English philosopher John Locke argued in favour of John Hobbes that the Leviathan must in all aspects of its state-rule ensure the safety of the property rights of the subjects within its territorial entity. This paper investigates the path taken by most African countries in the light of these many developments and the ambition they have met with action to achieve their political propaganda. This paper therefore understands that there is a strong dichotomy between African countries whose colonial master was Britain and those whose colonial master was France. A close look at both determines without stress that British former territories are flourishing and advancing while those in French colonies are badly regressing. On this note the paper concludes that despite the heavy corruption that holds down the rise of these many countries, the tenacity and cultural approach used by them to develop is much different from those of their French counterparts. Why? Its a question one must ask themselves though the question of the veracity of the British culture still wins the observation.
