So i have been a bit of a bad student lately... i have gotten so caught up in my Ty adventures that i forgot to blog about a very very important topic we did in religion class back in December. We watch a film about an African girl who grew up in Africa and grew up with its cultures. Her name is Warris Dirie. In The Film young warris like all the other girls in Africa is "cut" as part of her marriage culture. Warris makes a difficult decision to run away from her life and family when she is forced to marry a man who she does not love. When warris comes to England she learns about all the new cultures and is discovered by a famous photographer. This is the point in the film when warris discovers that normal woman in the developed world are not "cut". From this point on warris's story is told to the world and she makes it her mission to get this cultural "cut" so that girls around Africa can live a comfortable life and never be looked down on if they are not "cut|.
This film really spoke to me because i never realised the Lenghts cultures in different country's went to in developing country's and how painful the sacrifice's women made just to make them selves worthy for men. an yet we are still the most unluckiest race in the world ?
