    JamiiForums Tanzania Is education our way out of poverty as a nation?

    “Lebron is great for spending $41 million to send 1,100 kids to college. My problem is that it costs $41 million to send 1,100 kids to college.” -@stevebenko (twitter). Anyone else notice how expensive education is getting? After reading this tweet last week I found myself thinking, why is...

    JamiiForums Tanzania The truth behind cultural and tribal legacies

    Tribal stereotypes are a big part of the Tanzanian community. It is a given that eight of the ten times you introduce yourself to a local you will be asked, “what’s your tribe?”. This is almost always followed by a tribal stereotype of some sort, depending on your tribe of course. But are tribal...

    JamiiForums Tanzania Our Rigid Notions of Masculinity Need to be Updated

    “Men are today, confronted as never before with mediated messages that invite them to openly confront their emotions, be sensitive, caring and feel comfortable seeking help, whilst at the same time they are expected to be appear powerful, strong and self-reliant (Gough, 2009). It is these...

    JamiiForums Tanzania Legalise Prostitution...Or Not?

    Hello Mfamaji the last part of your response reminded me of a similar comment i came across on the internet, the author basically said, "what man doesnt pay for sex?" or something along those lines and he went on to expound on the fact that for a man to sleep with any woman, he needs to take her...

    JamiiForums Tanzania Legalise Prostitution...Or Not?

    SHOOyaKIBABE lol, i doubt we will find anything. See, the thing about minority groups such as these is that conversations about them happen in spaces they are unable to access.

    JamiiForums Tanzania Legalise Prostitution...Or Not?

    Hello again @mrconfident you are right, breaking social constructs is breaking the society, BUT what if it is a good "breaking"? Also i like how you mention all these things that must be stopped and the funny thing is, these things are actually illegal and yet they still happen. so i guess the...

    JamiiForums Tanzania Legalise Prostitution...Or Not?

    MR. CONFIDENT thank you for the compliment on the writing. In response to your comment i'd like to quote something i said in the text "the law is created to protect people's rights and not necessarily their moral/ethical beliefs". The whole idea of "morals" and "dignity" is a social construct...

    JamiiForums Tanzania Men are suffering a depression epidemic

    Wait. Are you therefore suggesting that 1. before men were allowed to confront their emotions and etc. they did not suffer from depression? 2. Are you thereby nullifying the effects that patriarchy has had in contributing to depression in men?

    JamiiForums Tanzania Legalise Prostitution...Or Not?

    I was driving with friends along the Sinza road when someone in the car said, "look at all those women". In my naivety I asked, "what are they all doing lined up over there?". We ended up taking a detour and driving into a street that was full of so many women lined up on both sides dressed up...

    JamiiForums Tanzania Homosexuality: You Can Overrule the Law, But can you overrule the mind?

    Lol, i like your mind @ishmael, you say "reading does not mean anything" and yet you quoted and sent links from sources that you READ. Secondly i do not believe in organized religion as well, but what really fascinates me is the fact that you say you do not believe in religion AND THEN you throw...
