Talk:Protests against Faure Gnassingbé

Untitled

Wiki Ed: Training Activity How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? This article is on a different topic from the topics we discuss in my Black Women & Pop Culture course. However, there is a strong change in the tone of how we discuss controversy. In this article, it does what it's meant to as a wiki article: which is stating facts. However, in class, discussions are not necessarily biased but do allow participants to explore their opinions and thoughts about events or concepts with others. This can result in different people learning new things about the experience of black women across the diaspora, and how those experiences are similar or different. I can also compare this to another course I've taken previously about Contemporary Africa. In that course, discussion often flowed similarly to the way that the Protests against Faure was discussed in this article. Students who start discussions were expected to ultimately present the topics about different events taking place across the continent, and begin discussions about the implications that the events would have on society moving forward. Discussing implications might be the major difference between the way we discuss in class compared to this article. Tracy.etehbenissan (talk) 17:52, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
