Deforestation is a very bad thing in Africa, and it can lead to worse things like poor soil. Deforestation is basically the turning from forest to dessert and good soil to bad soil. The bad soil in Africa is most likely caused by deforestation, which is a prominent case. The deforestation is also affecting the Sahel and the Rainforests, resulting in drought, famine, and the deaths of all animals.

Autocratic governments gives the leader of that country all power. This gives the citizens no power once or ever. An Oligarchy is where a group of people rule the people. This gives the people a little ore power, but they still don't have much. A democratic government on the other hand is "ruled by the people". The people have the most power in this government though things like voting.

South Africa has a Parliamentary Democracy, or a republic type of government. They elect their "President", but he is chosen and works like a prime minister. This government makes it easy for the people to buy, sell, start companies, vote, etc. Kenya also has a republic. This republic was a Presidential type until 2007 when a prime minister was established, but the people still have a president as a helper to the prime minister. Even though Kenya has more Female rights to education, jobs, etc, they do have a tight governmental hold on Individual States. This makes it harder in Kenya for the people to make businesses.
This slide is from a PREZI. Go to learn more about SS7CG2. This also covers SS7CG3 a. Go there to learn about that too.

The literacy rate of a country is how much of the people can read and write. The Standard of Living is basically how the people are living in that country, including jobs, education, etc. The Literacy rate of a country opens more opportunities to the people for jobs and education, or the standard of living. So when the Literacy rate goes up, in turn the standard of living goes up.
