1809 - Passage Translation
Passage 1
AlDS is big business, maybe Africa's biggest business. There's nothing else that can generate as much aid money as AIDS. AIDS is a political disease here, and we should be very skeptical, of course. Hunger should not be a problem in most of the countries south of the Sahara. In addition, there are vast natural resources: oil, gold, diamonds. Africa is always only portrayed as a continent of suffering, but most figures are vastly exaggerated. In the industrial nations, there's a sense that Africa would go under without development aid. But believe me, Africa existed before you Europeans came along. And we didn't do all that poorly either.
Passage 2
We are so used to blaming modern industrial growth for the destruction of the natural environment that we sometimes over-look the damage done by less sophisticated means. Yet every year cattle and sheep farmers in non-industrial societies turn nearly 17 million acres of land into desert by overgrazing. This process of “desertification” has destroyed three-fourths of the forestland in Argentina in half a century and one-third of the arable land in western India in a single decade. Unchecked industrial growth may be polluting the air and the water, but our land is also being ravaged by unscientific management and irresponsible methods.
