About

In my life, I hate alcohol because it causes family separation. My father was alcohol-addicted. When he took alcohol, he was like a mental attack person. He beat my mother frequently. As a result of this behavior, she decided to leave him and take us to a rented house. She started selling firewood and with her help now we are attending school. In my standard 7 national exam, I got an A. For this I was very happy. It is my hope that one day I will help my family and the community. My dream is to be a pilot. There are few pilots in our country. The world is changing. Air travel will be high in years to come. Through the effort of learning physics, geography and mathematics, I can get there in years to come. Four years from now, I will be in form 5.

This was the first mode of production to exist in pre colonial African societies and is divided into two namely:
Primitive communalism The first mode of production through which all societies passed was primitive communalism. It is called "primitive‟ because of the low level of productive forces and "communalism‟ because there was no exploitation of man by man. This mode of production existed for much longer period than any other mode as it ranged from the emergence of man more than one million years ago.
Advanced communalism During that era man advanced in his tools through various discoveries like iron tools. It is because of this technological advancement that is why it came to be known as advancement communalism
