My Modest Proposal-Outline

Global Issue: Africa the failed Continent

Africa is a failed continent because Europe messed it up in the past

Since Africa is treated as an effectively failed continent, and one which the West seems to ignore, we should use this useless space for the disposal of our garbage and thus eliminate the problem of waste accumulation in wealthy countries . This solution would solve Europe's garbage (also nuclear waste) problem and the people in Africa would not be worse off than they are today.

Outline
1. Introduction
a) Africa is a failed/ doomed/ useless continent
b) It causes the world many problems and is a burden to the west

2. The Problem
a) The west is facing a global issue of increased waste products
b) The world needs to find a solution to deal with the rising amounts of garbage that are being produced

3. A solution
a) Africa is a useless continent anyways
b) Africa=> the failed continent
c) To make use of it, the west should just turn the continent into a huge garbage dump
d) This way Europe (the west) would get rid of its garbage, and in due time the useless continent of Africa would just sink into the ocean and their problem of poverty and hunger would be solved
e) There seem to be no objections to this idea, because millions of people are dying of starvation and genocide (deliberate extermination of a ethnic group) and corruption in Africa today and no one seems to care anyways
f) This way the world could assign the useless continent and job that in due time will save them from their own misery and will benefit the rest of the world
g) Africa would also stop overpopulating our planet
h) The west could harvest all of the valuable resources prior to turning it into a garbage dump
i) Clearly this would be a win win situation
j) Unlike Iraq there is no oil worth defending (oil is a long term extraction project and would therefore justify international intervention)

4. Conclusion
a) Something needs to be done about the rising issues that Africa is causing
b) Win win situation=> everyone would benefit
c) Create awareness about the inhumane situation that Africa is in
