Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I disagree because they where not there slaves and I think that they should keep them in a safer place then Africa and all the invasions that are happening
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree with you Norah. I also think that they should keep them in a safer place then Africa and all the invasions that are happening.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree to your statement because those artifacts can help Africa get money so it won't be so difficult to survive.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I say they should return to Africa because it came from their culture and things they had to not the European because they just got the land and that is it so i say return to Africa.

Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

not many people would like to go to a place that is known to have diseases and is mostly in poverty.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I don't like your thinking there, all around the world, there are diseases. I don't like how you place an image in your head saying that Africa is just a continent that has diseases. Africa has many beautiful things there. An example could be the beautiful beaches in Ivory Coast.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I Agree with you because those artifacts are from Africa and the European's had no rights to take the artifacts i guess.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I think they should come back to Africa. I think this because they were stolen from Africa. Also Europe took a lot of Africa's recourse so this could help them make money. If Europe is scared they could get stolen they could send security down there with the artifacts .
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I think African artifacts should definitely be returned to Africa. I think they should be returned because that was where the artifacts were found. Also Europeans are getting tons of money from the African artifacts due to tourists. If those artifacts were in Africa, Africa could make more money. Even though Europe is probably more safe for the artifacts for preserving I still think the artifacts should be in Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I agree with you too because it isn't fair that the Europeans are making money on stuff they didn't make and create.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?

Camille i agree with you because they are making money of something that is not there's
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I feel like they should be back in Africa because its their heritage and from their ancestors.The artifacts would probably be in museums that are away from all the wars and problems.They would also be under high security and safe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree Because its their stuff and its the most valuable to them
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I strongly believe that the African artifacts should return right back to where they came from. Even though there are wars in come countries, I still think that the artifacts should go back to Africa. One example that I can give to support this is that it's just like losing something. If you lose your jewelry, and someone finds it and keeps it to themselves then its still yours. If you see that they have it, you'll want to have it back Also, it is a religious figure to people and they care about it just like if you lost something, then you would want it back because it may be special to you.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Africa could work out some sort of agreement with the European countries. I'm sure that they would want to know who was in possession of their artifacts, and if they go back to Africa, who's to say they won't be stolen? Then no one would have the relics (except that one person who stole it, and why would they give it back?), and we would be farther back than square one.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

Well Bella, I agree that Africa may work out some things with the Europeans countries. I also disagree because people can steal things in Europe. Some guards may slack off and stuff.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I agree because people want to have their stuff back instead of people keeping it
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I disagree I think they should be in England’s band because what if they put all this money in this and then it just fails? I would be a waste so I think it should stay in England.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

The artifacts do belong to Africa though. It's not about the money at all also. They should keep it, and that's final for me. Me, as an African would like to have and artifact that may belong to an ancestor. This is just an example but if an artifact did belong to an ancestor, i would want it back.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I agree with you because yes there is lots of wars and you cant do anything about it anymore.....
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I think if Africa had more security and money then yes it should go back to Africa because in Europe they have to study about them and stuff but in Africa they kind of already know about there history and the Africans are there ancestors.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I agree because I think if Africa could get more money for security and for keeping the artifacts safer then the artifacts could go back to Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I personally think that they should but not necessarily return the artifacts back to the place they came from. as you probably know parts of Africa are in civil war right now. So my opinion is to return that artifacts to some place safer in the continent but at the same time at least somewhere close to where it was taken or found. Lastly to notify the tribe or people about the artifact returning to the continent.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I think Africa should get there artifacts back. I say this because they would get money form tourist.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?

if they wanted them to keep it they would have told them to keep it
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

i think that you are not answering the question.you should have gotten into more detail talking about why or why not Europe should have these artifacts and why Africans should make there own choice on were there ancient artifacts go.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?

How would Europ llike it if we stole something with value that made them unique?
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

i think if countries in Europe gave Africa there artifacts back and gave them some guards to watch there stuff i think they would have enough money to make an empire or something.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

They should also give it back because they are making money off of something that is not their
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

They should matter where the artifacts are as long as they can be appreciate by those who have interest
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I also agree with Madeleine because the Europeans did make the Africans their slaves for quite some time. They also made the artifacts
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

would it make sense for Europe to keep some and Africa to keep some????
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

wealth and power does not determine who keeps the artifacts
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

Europe dos not neeed to keep Africa's artifacts for tropheys of being better than them
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I really feel more towards the side where Africa should keep the artifacts, but I'm also supporting the other side too. It would make more sense if the artifacts stayed at Africa for many reasons like history, money, religion, but these artifacts do mean a lot to our ancient history and we would hate it if anything would happen to them like if they got stolen, vandalized, broken, then Europe could handle that better than Africa could. Also, if we tried to give Africa more money, it would still be a lot of work to make it a safer place. What do you think??
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

One reason that the artifacts should be returned to Africa is because they were stolen via slavery and colonization and fear of death. They should be returned to their home because I think that the people need to have back what was stolen from them years ago.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

they should be returned to africa becouse it is part of their history and it belong to them
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Even though I personally think that the Africans should get their artifacts back, In some places in Africa there are wars going on. It was kind of a trophy to the Europeans. They accomplished getting more land and the artifacts were they're trophy.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

It wouldn't be best to store the artifacts near war so they would keep them in a more peaceful and advanced country. Plus if the artifacts mean a lot to them then why put them in a dangerous place?
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

i disagree because Africa is giant and there is many wealthy places wear there is no war going on in Africa
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I personally think they should return the artifacts to the home country or continent. But the thing is that Africa is in the middle of a civil war with nearly every country in a war with another one. While in Europe there is no civil war happening and just a war in general which makes the artifacts safer.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

even if there is a war they still need to go back where they came from and not keep it if it is not there's
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

i think that the artifacts should stay in Europe because they are more safe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think they should stay in Europe. Europe has better protection. But I think Europe should give some of the money to Africa. Plus Europe is a much bigger tourist attraction so if they stayed in Europe more people could see them.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree with this statement because Africa does deserve some of the money earned from the spoils of their ancestors but still remain in Europe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think they should keep the artifacts in Europe so it is safer from wars and stuff. Also so they don't get damaged while they're in Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I agree it would be safer in Europe.but it is still theirs and the artifacts belong to them.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Well i kinda agree with that but I wont say that they are safer in Europe to be honest. But the artifacts are gonna be destroyed some how.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I believe the artifacts should be returned to Africa but, I also can see why people think they should stay in Europe. They should stay in Europe because in Europe I'm sure they have higher security than Africa. I also think this because the Europeans may have wanted these artifacts as a trophy of their victory.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Possession is nine tenths of the law.If the artifacts, African or otherwise, were obtained legally then they belong to the museum's Directors/Curators, who are entitled to retain them and reject out of hand any claim for their return based on tribal sentimentality.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

i also think that they should stay in Europe because the money they make they can us it to make a better security system so that they can keep the artifacts safe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?

I think that the artifacts should stay in Europe. Because I think it might Be safer their.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?

But the artifacts are still theirs . so it should be with them
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think we should keep the artifacts in Europe because it is more safe there. It has more protection than Africa does because if something happened to the artifacts in Europe, then they could take charge and get them back quicker than Africa could. Africa does not have much protection for things like these artifacts. They would probably get stolen lost or vandalized quickly. This is why I think the artifacts should stay in Europe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?

I think the artifacts should stay in Europe because they have more care and more protection so it can't get stolen.

I think that they should give it back because it might mean something to Africa l. And bring some of the trades back and can make money off of It and make the economy bigger
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think that maybe they know how to take care of their own artifacts.Because if they do that should be a even greater reason that get to keep the artifacts
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think it’s safe In Europe but it could make th economy bigger if it goes to Africa because only they could understand it.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

camyah i think that it would be safer in Europe but i still think it should go back to Africa
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Europe should not keep the artifacts because they don't belong to Europe. Also Europe might have wars which will lead to the artifacts being destroyed. In that case Africa doesn't have that many wars, so in my opinion they will be more safer in Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I don't think Europe should keep the artifacts although the artifacts have a better chance of being protected while in Europe. Africa today is dangerous because of war and other violence that has ensued. If the artifacts were to reside in Africa they can be destroyed by people who don't respect the value the artifacts have. It would be even harder to guard the artifacts in places that are poor because they would have no means to preserve them and keep them out of harm's way.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think we should keep the Artifacts in European because. I think it's important that artifacts should be seen in their original location. I don't think it's okay to remove artifacts in order to keep them safe from destruction.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree because the artifacts original location was in Africa and i agree that its safer there but an artifact that was taken should be returned.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Europe should make a deal with Africa. The deal should be were ever these artifacts came from is were they should go back to and they should also get a government and other things they need to be a civilized society.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I also think that they should stay in Europe because they would be taking better care of the artifacts.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think that the artifacts should stay in Europe because they are only spoils of war. They are also safer in Europe than in Africa because they have more advanced security than Africa. They also have less people who want the artifacts.

Not necessarily........................................................................................
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I believe they should keep artifacts in Europe because for one they are safer in Europe where there is not as much poverty. Another reason is that even though they do come from Africa they were still colonized by the Europeans and they rightfully belong to the Europeans.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree because even though they are safer, they belong to Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?

They belong in Africa even though it is not safer it should still be there's
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree just because the artifacts probably would be safer in Europe I believe that Africa should have the artifacts because it's part of their country and thats where they were found.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

i disagree because even know it was safeer they still took alot of their recores and the European was some people they did not make it safe.

Africa does have a lot of poverty therefore people might try to steal or vandalize them
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

If Africa got the artifacts back they could take out a loan or have the richer countries take care of them under the proper conditions. They could also have a undisclosed area where they could keep them if any terrorists would come to harm the artifacts.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

Only some parts of Africa has poverty issues. Also artifacts may be destroyed or stolen in Europe. Even though some security is good in Europe, some guards may slack off and things like that so things can be vandalized in Europe.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I disagree with craig because their are many wealthy parts of Africa and the europeans could lend them some money until they have enough to pay them back
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I agree but also you must think about other parts of Africa that arn't in poverty, but don't forget that the artifacts are spoils of war not just stolen, but fought for. They took them from the ancient Africans via force. They might be african, but the Europeans took them so that them fair game as spoils of war.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I completely disagree with this statement because while they might be safer not all of Africa is in war. And the parts that are are in that civil war because of the people who are housing these artifacts
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree because they are Africa's artifacts on Europe's
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Keep artifacts in Europe

I think we should keep the artifacts in Europe, to ensure they are safe. Many countries in Africa, especially the slums in central and southern parts, are very poor and may not be able to afford to keep their artifacts safe in museums. While a point may arise that the Africans are not generating tourist money, I propose that the European museums pay a portion of their money to the African countries from which these relics come from.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I strongly disagree because even though they are safe with Europe museum curators and directors, the artifacts still belong to Africa.
Debate: Should African Artifacts in European Museums be returned to Africa?
Side: Return artifacts to Africa

I disagree. I do see how it would be safe but also I think they should definitely return the artifacts at one point.
