Religion is the number cause of major problems around the world followed by politics. Religion started centuries before politics and is hard to manage in a peaceful way, despite politics trying to address issues with religion and creating conflicts around the world with growing threats.

There are wars in many nations due to religious differences.
Politics is second to to religion as one of the major causes of problems around the world, especially with "Political Appointment", a deceptive used for corruption, conspiracies and atrocities etc. With clear evidence, using Ghana as an example, politics has done no good to Ghana but bred corruption, bribery, conspiracies, thefts, incompetence, selfishness, greed and failure with poverty by political appointments.

The Africans culture is low efficiency while the Chinese culture is high efficiency to produce more with intelligence at low cost and sell for more foreign revenue.
