The geographic themes of place and movement prove that geography is a destiny in west Africa because Ebola is contiguous, many people that are not in the original country are getting sick because of the disease movement.

The article “Answer for Ebola” by Nicoletta Richardson from TIME children proves that geographic theme “Place” can affect a person’s destiny. Richardson states that “A new outbreak of this disease has spread through the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and, most recently, Nigeria.” Ebola has spread out in a very rapid speed recently. There are more than 2,000 people who have infected with this disease, and half of them did not survive. Since Ebola is highly contagious, there is a big chance that other countries will refuse these people to go into the country and receive treatments. Those people do not have other choices but go back to their country. But is it their faults to get the disease? Apparently the answer is no. They could not choose where they were born or where they live. The geographic theme “Place” has clearly changed these people’s destinies.
MOVEMENT
Another geographic theme that has a significant effect on people’s destinies is “Movement”. Sometimes citizens could not choose what kind of information or disease to receive. For example, an article in TIME children named “Answers for Ebola” provide some ways that Ebola can infect, “Ebola spread through direct body fluids contact, such as blood, sweat, saliva, and urine.” People contact these fluids in a daily basis such as shaking hands, hugging or sneezing. It is hard tell who has disease who does not. However people cannot stop socialize to prevent the disease. Sometimes it is unavoidable that the Ebola spreads out. The only way to stop the disease is to isolate all the patients. This means to stop the disease move from one place to another. This task if very difficult to accomplish as the number of infecter climbs up, but people have to act now or it will be even harder in the future. The citizens’ lives are tied together with the movement of Ebola.
