You can approach this from multiple aspects:\nThe light and dark as associated with the two locations.\nThe notions of civility and barbarism, and whether what is seemingly  civilized is in actuality barbaric.\n\nThese are some places to start.

Correct me if i'm wrong,but I do see similarities.Moses rescued the Egyptions and presented them with the Jewish religion when they arrived to Israel.Now today,Israelis are still followers of the Jewish religion.The Europeans inslaved Africans and presented them with the christian religion,Now today black people are still following the religion that was forced on their ancestors.

Ireland.  Some poeple think it's about Ethiopia, but it isn't.\n\nIn Ireland, your street name tells people nearly everything about you, i.e., religion, social status, economic status, etc.  \nIt's a song about wanting equality and an end to mindless predjudice.  He wants to "tear down these walls" and go to a place "where the streets have no name"\n\nCave\n\np.s.  ZILVA, dude!  Read your own post!  Starting with...\n"Bono himself also reported that the song was inspired by the social situation in Belfast".  BELFAST, dude.  \nBelfast, IRELAND.

Do you mean vary on the one person depending on how they feel? ie going green with illness, red with sunburn etc?\n\nOr do you mean vary between individuals, ie Africans tend to have darker skin than Europeans?

Probably becuase poverty is always a relative concept. Being the richer nations they probably still see Africa as the "Dark Continent" back from their sea-faring days.\n\nThat said...\n\nMost other countries probably have more than their share of poverty in their own country to be worried about poverty in another country.

First of all, the Black Plaque took place over several centuries, recurring essentially every generation between the 14th and 17th centuries. During this time, the world was incredibly fractitious and separated. There was little communication between Asia and Europe and there was intense rivalry between the countries of Western Europe. There was no one dominant figure of the period, except perhaps the Pope in Europe.

...possibly a comparison:  having a good friend with a gallery in a resort town in Colorado, many natives detest the tourists who are often rude and disrupt the type of life they would like to live, but they need the money.  Another comparison:  Most of the ancient world (as recorded in the Bible) resented the Romans, but the Romans provided benefits, especially law and order.  I see totally contradictory reactions to Americans all over the world.

How come you did not mention your own nationality? Anyway, I've lived in some African countries and really liked the environments - very friendly and stress free. I've also lived in the USA and was in fact very disappointed - very stressful and hostile society (despite the diversity), especially down south in Texas.

The revolution in France had happened many years earlier, yet there was great social tension in England during the times of Charles Dickens. Work conditions for the poor were horrid, often resulting in strikes that ended in violent clashes between the police and the workers.\n\nA Tale of Two Cities can be seen as a warning to British society of the mid-nineteenth century. It is largely concerned with events within the Victorian society in which he lived and is set during a period some seventy years earlier. It shows both France and England in an unflattering light. \n\nYou can check out the following site for chapter-wies summary

What do you mean by gothic in the first place? Well if you mean gothic like people exhibiting a fascination with death and darkness, then it doesn't exactly glorify God right? Jesus died for us at the cross. He defeated death when he rose again from the dead. He made us right with God. That equals hope, hope, hope. The dark elements of gothic culture is contradictory to the hope of Christianity.\n\nHowever, if it's simply "superficial gothic" you're referring to, like someone who's into lots of black clothing nailpolish eyeliner blahblahblah and it has nothing to do with the condition of the heart ,then it's fine.

I have seen lots of pictures, articals and clippings about Africa. it is sad to say that almost all of them portray africa as this dry, barren, land, where everyone is sick, and dying. while that may be the case for some locations, there are beautiful places in Africa, such as the Sarangiti, and around lake Victoria. (why did they not name the lake after someone in Africa? white people sometimes don't use their common sence.) If i could, i'd visit africa one of those days. i would like to see mount kilomanjaro, and the Sarangiti.

great britain...\nvery english accents down under mixed with the native language of the land....quite interesting actually.\nIn south africa it's similar...british rule took over and created apartheid and the Afikaans language that is spoken is a mix of dutch and african dialects.   Just an FYI

"The European colonial powers called Africa “the Dark Continent” when they began their explorations. They saw it as a vast and dangerous place filled with savage people."\nhttp://www.mrdowling.com/609ancafr.html
