Technology have a lot of advantages, however a lot of disadvantages also comes with it. One of the disadvantages of technology is that it replaces the necessity for face to face interaction between humankind because it has turn to an addiction, so having personal interaction to another human seems rather boring compared to technology. That’s shown in the science fiction novel “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury, where the main character’s wife, Mildred became so obsessed with technology to a point where she didn't care about her husband wellbeing and the TV shows characters became her “family”, and more important than her own real husband. Early in the novel, After Montag burned an old woman alive with her books, Montag was sick and vomiting all

6) however, like Gandhi, he encouraged the volunteers not to retaliate. Mandela spent 26 years and 8 months in jail as punishment for his protesting however, he felt that “no sacrifice was too great in the struggle for freedom” (Doc. 9). He spent time in jail with other protesters that all felt that “whatever sentences [they] received, even the death sentence… [their] deaths would not be in vain” (Doc. 9). Freedom for the South African people from apartheid finally came in 1993. To Mandela this was not just the freedom of his people but “the freedom of all people, black and white” (Doc. 12). “South Africa’s New Democracy” rose after years of continuous nonviolence from the populace.

GBCA – SOUTH AFRICA Communication Contemporary South African communication has been laboriously hewn from several social forces. Irrespective of the struggle, communication has now become the focal point of social convergence. Influenced by political, economic, and cultural components, then diffused through a history of colonization and apartheid, communication in South Africa has evolved slowly; nonetheless it is gaining strength and it is reaching a greater apex (Collier, 2005). Linguistic affiliation. There are eleven languages officially recognized in South Africa. The reasoning behind the official recognition of so many languages was to bring a greater level of equalization to the nation. Until 1994, Afrikaans was the official language, and English was also recognized.

In the 1960s, many of the colonial nations of Africa were gaining independence. The ANC was encouraged and campaigned for democracy in South Africa. They were mild campaigns at first, but as the government became more hostile, so did ANC protests. In November 1961, a military branch of the party was organized with Mandela as its head. It authorized the limited use of arms and sabotage against the government, which got the government’s attention—and its anger! Mandela went into hiding in 1964, he was captured, tried, and sentenced to life imprisonment. It was a sad day for black South Africa.

Protest have been used throughout our nation’s history in order to reform or implement the ideas that seem just to our nation’s people. The history of protest in America would mainly be because of the government, either the government would be at war or it would be legalizing and denying laws people just don’t like. Nowadays there are laws that have established Americans’ right to protest. As indicated by the article, Amending the Protest Law ”On January the Legislative and Constitutional Affairs Committee approved government-drafted changes to the protest law (law no.107/2013) following a Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) verdict on 3 December requiring the Interior Ministry to seek a judicial order before banning any

Protests riots in the United States has proven to an issue for both the country’s financial strength and the unity of the nation. With the presence of social injustices, combined with the increased impact of social media propaganda, protests riots are beginning to reach an all time high. Protest riots destroy individual communities and businesses, jeopardizes the safety of others and taints the protest’s cause by resorting to civil disobedience. Action must be done in order to prevent these random acts of violence from continuing after every social hot topic. The goal is not to prevent citizens from protesting; in fact, this should be encouraged. The goal is to change the way the protests are handled from both the citizens and authority perspectives, in order to prevent these protests from escalating into something dangerous.

Achille Mbembe states that the debate between Theodor Adorno and Herbert Marcuse about the student protests in Germany in the late 1960’s is (to some extent) relevant to the student protests of our time in South Africa because the debate gives insight on how to view current events with “sympathetic critique” (Mbembe, 2016) so as not to view the events in a binary fashion and recognize that the student protests in South Africa will have effects that are in fact unpredictable. Adorno and Marcuse had differing views regarding the student protests of their time and were both wrong in their predictions of the results of those uprisings. Mbembe believes that Adorno was right in believing that theory can be realized through exercise but was wrong

Beginning early in the 1970s and extending into the ‘80s, students, laborers and ordinary citizens became more involved in the struggle against Apartheid. High school students began protesting the segregated system more vigorously, and many ended up dead at the hands of National Party police forces in the June uprising of 1976. The late 70’s and 80’s saw the rise in dissidence amongst ordinary South Africans towards the Apartheid laws. After the student uprising of 1976, the ranks of MK were augmented considerably, leading to resurgence in anti-Apartheid activities and ushered in the first reforms to the Apartheid since its

Millions of hardworking and dedicated individuals around the world sit down every night at the comfort of their couch to find out about one thing, what is going on in their country. This unfortunately is no more. South Africans and the rest of the world are being strangled by the medias implausible decision to not allow us as citizens to view what we are entitled to see. The people of the world need news coverage free from censorship so that we can breathe again and finally let the truth echo through every television worldwide. We need the truth so we as a people can vote and feel safe once more. Our country is burning in

Many of the contemporary issues in South Africa can easily be associated with the apartheid laws which devastated the country. The people of South Africa struggle day by day to reverse “the most cruel, yet well-crafted,” horrific tactic “of social engineering.” The concept behind apartheid emerged in 1948 when the nationalist party took over government, and the all-white government enforced “racial segregation under a system of legislation” . The central issues stem from 50 years of apartheid include poverty, income inequality, land ownership rates and many other long term affects that still plague the brunt of the South African population while the small white minority still enjoy much of the wealth, most of the land and opportunities
