The most common explanation for the butterfly effect is: "A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later."
Introduction
In my impression, Kenya, a poor and backward East African country, has almost contracted the global English essay writing business.
Kenya
The Republic of Kenya is located in the east of Africa, referred to as Kenya, the equator runs through the middle, and the East African Rift Valley runs through the north and south. It borders Somalia in the east, Tanzania in the south, Uganda in the west, Ethiopia and South Sudan in the north, and the Indian Ocean in the southeast. The coastline is 536 kilometers long. 18% of the land area is arable land, and the rest is mainly suitable for animal husbandry. The land area is 582,646 square kilometers. The capital is Nairobi. The country is divided into 47 counties and has a population of 47.564 million (2019 census results). There are 44 ethnic groups in the country.

Thesis writing capital
According to the British BBC news report, on average, 1 out of every 7 graduates of foreign universities has had the experience of letting others write for them. According to incomplete estimates, 31 million students have similar experiences every year, and many of them are students from the Russell Group such as Oxford and Cambridge.
This country has developed the ghostwriting business into a complete industrial chain, and its capital, Nairobi, is therefore known as the "thesis ghostwriting capital".
From doctoral dissertations to high school homework, no matter what the subject, Kenyans can handle it. Even the daughter of South Korean Minister Han Dong-hoon was reported to have hired a Kenyan ghostwriter to complete her academic thesis.
Why Kenya?
Why Kenya? Here we must combine its long-term sluggish economy and high unemployment rate.
- In 2017, Kenya's GDP was US$7.95 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4.9%.
- In 2018, Kenya's GDP was US$8.79 billion, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%.
- In 2019, Kenya's GDP was US$9.83 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5.4%.
- In 2020, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, Kenya's economic growth will slow down, and the GDP growth rate is expected to be 0.6%.
- Kenya's main economic industries include agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and financial services. Among them, agriculture accounts for about 25% of Kenya's GDP.
Kenyans speak Swahili and English, and its Internet penetration rate is at the forefront of Africa, and one in ten Kenyans has received higher education. On this basis, let Kenya is at the leading level in Africa.
The popularization of education has not brought them a decent job, and the sluggish economy has kept Kenya's unemployment rate high. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), Kenya's unemployment rate is 10.4% as of 2021. In addition, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, Kenya's unemployment rate has shown an upward trend in 2020.
Due to various reasons, many Kenyan college students can only engage in freelance employment, that is, informal employment, self-employment and rural employment. 70% of them chose ghostwriting and translation services. Compared with other jobs, this is obviously easier and quicker to pay. Writing 60 assignments a month can earn about $300. For those who are more experienced in this job, it is not very difficult to earn a monthly income of 10,000 RMB, which is already a fairly high-paying occupation in Kenya. In the face of poverty, a despicable job is rationalized, and even the "New York Times" reported that if cheating was not involved, this industry is really quite perfect.
The Butterfly Effect
The emergence of ChatGPT seems to be taking away the jobs of this group of Kenyan ghostwriters. According to reports, Kenyan ghostwriters who earned 900-1,200 dollars a month last year have now reduced their monthly income to 500-800 dollars. People who used to be able to receive 60 tasks a month can only receive 10 tasks now.
Developed countries just flapped their high-tech wings, and a group of people in distant third world countries are facing a tsunami of poverty.
