Will Geography Affect People's Destiny in Africa?

Geography is destiny because the themes of place and movement show that where you live and what your  surroundings are can affect your future. 

One out of the five themes that affects your destiny is place. According to the article “Another Ebola Patient Coming to Emory, Atlanta” every time a hospital opened in Western Africa, the hospital would be filled with patients carrying diseases such as Ebola. This means that there might not be that many hospitals located in some cities if the hospitals are overflowing. Because some people may not have a hospital near them, it may affect their future or their destiny. They may get sick and not have anywhere to go for medical care so they risk having a severe illness or even dying.  Depending on what kind of physical features your location has (such as hospitals), may depend on how you live your life from then on forward.

The other theme movement, shows that geography is destiny. Depending on where you live, there might be different kinds of movement going on that could affect your life. According to the article “Obama-International Response for Ebola Outbreak”, African union officials had an emergency meeting that involved discussions about closing borders and suspending flights to the affected areas of Ebola. This means that the officials are spreading their ideas amongst each other, to try to get everyone’s knowledge in how they can stop the Ebola outbreak. Movement could change someone’s lives either in a positive or negative way. The spread or movement of Ebola would be an example of a negative way because if you got this disease, you have a possibility of getting really ill just like the other couple of thousand people that got affected did. But a positive kind of movement would be the spreading of ideas and new knowledge, just like a new vaccine might help you if you were affected by Ebola. If more and more people learn how to prevent Ebola or what medicine there is to cure it, people can become more aware and protect themselves from the Outbreak.
