Also, the main diversity issue was that of someone being from the poor side of town. The bias opinions were that they were uneducated, hateful, disrespectful, and did not care about life the same as others. Throughout the time in the deliberation room, these bias seem to be overcome. One of the jurors was an example that you can make it from that side of town alright. By the end of the movie, the bias was broke down.
This paper will be outlining the basic structure of the laws that segregated the black population of South Africa throughout the 1900’s. It will also be explaining important people involved in the dismantling of apartheid and the foreign nations that helped to influence South Africa’s government to change. However, the primary goal for this paper is to inform the reader about the reasoning behind apartheid, the events leading up to it, and how it was reformed.
Thesis Statement: Apartheid may have been a horrible era in South African history, but only so because the whites were forced to take action against the outrageous and threatening deeds of the blacks in order to sustain their power.
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
To compare the conditions of apartheid to a familiar and distinguished age in history, it was like the segregation of the

It increases the diversity and expands the culture of the country. No country in the world has the diversity of race, religion, language, and culture. America is called the great "melting pot" because we bring together all sorts of people around the world. Diversity brings more tolerance for people that are, on the surface, different than us. It introduces new ideas, new
It convinces the common people of the importance of life and makes them aware of the consequences that come from small and simple choices they make every day.
Chapter four will examine reasons of why teaching history and controversial, sensitive topics to young elementary students is important and those topics, such as racism, affect young children. It will also examine both the negative and positive effects and influences history can have on a young child's mind and their cultural way of thinking.
It encourages an understanding of geography and the people who live within different countries across the world. Human geography could have been used in 2006 when Joe Biden tried to make the Shiites and Sunnis get along well enough to equally govern Iraq. Had the United States government looked further into the long standing tensions and hatred between the Shiites and Sunnis, it would have been glaringly obvious that expecting two enemies to cooperate in an already unstable environment would be nearly impossible. In the article “Latinos in the United States” the author talks about discrimination against Latinos within mostly southern states, especially Texas, but also throughout the US. These discriminations are made based off of the understanding that all Mexican citizens illegally crossed the border and are now “stealing jobs”. With the help of human geography people would be able to understand that there is a major -legal- migration pattern stemming from Mexico and going into the United States. This leads to major cities and the break basket region in particular in order to take jobs that native born Americans would not take. Finally, many marches and social media protests have been held against Monsanto, the leader in genetically modified foods. If people were to know that Monsanto came about because farmers were struggling to feed a growing population and that without the Green Revolution the

It reminds people to not forget about the ideology of the government that is to obey whatever the government says. “WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS
Oppression is at the root of many of the most serious, enduring conflicts in the world today. Racial and religious conflicts; conflicts between dictatorial governments and their citizens; the battle between the sexes; conflicts between management and labor; and conflicts between heterosexuals and homosexuals all stem, in whole or in part, to oppression. It’s similar to an article in south africa that people have with racial segregation between black and white . Many people need to know that indiviual have their own rights in laws and freedom . Everyone should have an equal rights and better community . A black person would be of or accepted as a member of an African tribe or race, and a colored person is one that is not black or white. The Department of Home Affairs (a government bureau) was responsible for the classification of the citizenry. Non-compliance with the race laws were dealt with harshly. All blacks were required to carry ``pass books ' ' containing fingerprints, photo and information on access to non-black areas. The apartheid in South Africa which was in effect from 1948 until 1994 was not only a racist policy which greatly affected the quality of life of minorities in the country for the worse but was a outright crime against humanity. It include with civil right that violence verses non-violence that the government could or
It is first very important to understand deep history of Apartheid to actually understand the story of The Island and the messages it sends. The beginning of Apartheid marked a big turning point in South African history. In the beginning,
I have always thought that Nelson Mandela has been one of the most important people in history. I find it very fascinating that one man could end the Apartheid and that is why I want to find out more about this. South Africa is a country with a past of enforced racism and separation of its multi-racial community. The White Europeans invaded South Africa and started a political system known as 'Apartheid' (meaning 'apartness'). This system severely restricted the rights and lifestyle of the non-White inhabitants of the country forcing them to live separately from the White Europeans. I have chosen to investigate how the Apartheid affected people’s lives, and also how and why the Apartheid system rose and fell in South Africa.
