Views on AFRICA

Do you think of Africa as a country or a continent?
To tell you the truth this question stumped me because I do not think of Africa often, but the first thing that came to mind when I read this question was that Africa was
one large land mass--a continent.
What images some to mind when you hear the word Africa?
...Bright colors...drums...hunger...malnutrition..poor...uneducated!
Why do you think I think of Africa in this manner...
THE MEDIA!
All you see of Africa in the media is war, those starving children, the music they play on those drums and the bright colors they wear!
BUT I KNOW THERE IS MORE TO AFRICA AND I WILL POST AGAIN SOON...
