my problem/achebe's monster

1. The setting of my problem is the entire world. Global warming effects the entire globe, no one can escape from it, it's happening everywhere. The characters of my problem are every person who lives on this planet. Everyone has a responsiblity to this earth and should be taking care of it, instead of ruining it.

2a. I believe the monster in Achebe is the imperialist who come to Africa to take control. Then strip the villages of culture by trying to convert everyone to their religion. These people only care about themselves and getting what they want, they don't care that they have upset entire villages and destroyed the lives of the natives.

2b. Rousseau's "savage" and Achebe's "savage" are not the same because Achebe's lived together in communities while Rousseau's lived alone with no companions. Achebe's savage also had much more understanding of emotions and feelings while Rousseau's did not.
