Here on the tip of Africa two great oceans meet, warm weather is here most of the year, and many animals and diverse lands lay beyond the city lights. We are the leader of African economies, our economy is the most advanced and well developed economy on the continent. Our infrastructure also matches that of any first world country.

During the period of Apartheid in South Africa between 1948 and 1994 the reactions of the South African citizens towards the legal separation of races varied depending on race, ideals and time period. After gold and diamonds were fud inSouthAfrica both the dutch and British wanted the land to themselves, leading to the Boer War from which the Dutch farmers emerged victorious. Following the Boer War and the creation of the Union of South Africa in 1910, the Dutch Boers gained control over the majority of the land in the previously British Cape Colony along with the settlements they had already built, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Blacks in South Africa made up about eighty percent of the population but only lived on ten percent of

Many don’t realize this, but our life is forever indebted in danger. Our life, as in, minorities. This isn’t a dream nor is it long overdue. It has been time and time again when African Americans are placed on the backburner as we watch the members of our communities and societies whom have less melanin than us take what they want believe is rightfully theirs. No one has ever took the time to seek what we deserve for all the horrible endangerment we’ve been put through for years and years to come. I believe that African Americans whom stand together in regards to the Black Lives Matter protest are fighting because we know of the injustice we have had to endure that dates back to so long ago that we just can’t stand on the sidelines

Violence plays an incredibly important and pervasive role in Toni Morrison’s Sula, working to dramatically shape many of the figures in the novel, including two of the prominent characters; Shadrack and Sula, and the less central characters of Plum and Eva. It is violence, and how the characters respond differently to it that influences how they are perceived and how they affect others. Violence changes Shadrack from a normal young man to a death-obsessed outcast. It shapes Plum from a young boy to a drug addict, and subsequently changes Eva from a caring mother to a murderer. And most importantly, violence changes Sula from an ordinary young girl with a bright future, into a feared, leper-ish figure. How each of the characters responds to

In the United States alone, Muslims make up at least 1% of the population; which is 3.3 million people (Pew Research,2015). Since America is noted as a free and accepting country, any individual from outside the U.S, would easily come to the conclusion that all Muslims in every corner of the United States are being treated the same as everyone else. That is, unfortunately, not true; Attacks and discriminatory actions have become common in the lives of some Muslim adolescents that are currently living in the United States. Since the 9/11 terror attacks, discrimination against Muslims (predominantly adolescents) have wildly increased, and more Americans (typically older) are becoming anti-Muslim. Anyone can simply view this as normal since

The avowal that the apartheid ‘vision for democracy’ necessitated state terror and repression is evident when examining the South African apartheid system between 1960 -1994. The system of apartheid spiked significant internal resistance, hence, the ideology for apartheid stems from the creation of a white state surrounded by economically interdependent and politically dependent black states, which required state terror and repression to ensure mounting resistance and international condemnation did not abolish the apartheid system. The government responded to a series of popular uprisings and protests with police brutality, which increased support for armed resistance. Detentions were set without trial, torture, censorship and the outlawing of political oppositional organizations such as The African National Congress, the Black Conscious Movement, the Azanian Peoples Organisation, The Pan Africanist Congress and the United Democratic Front, were all a result of the apartheid government due to political resistance.

Picture this. Your husband comes home from work and immediately heads to the liquor cabinet. As one drink turns into two, and then into four, the aggressive side you know is hiding behind the mask he puts on is waiting to be unleashed. What seems to be some small incident, such as a dropped glass or spilled milk, soon turns into an altercation. It starts off with some name calling, but quickly turns into more physical violence that leaves you with a black eye and marks up and down your arms. As he heads to bed reminding you that this was your fault, and that you deserved it, you almost begin to believe it. The next day is full of apologizes and promises that it will never happen again, which you want so badly to believe is true. Until it

Building walls and bigger gates due to riots, seems pretty reasonable, protecting your loved ones and even your house, but what if the riots were because of unequal rights, and wanting change. In “Once Upon a Time” the family was so afraid of them getting hurt because of the South African apartheid riots going on. Institutional racism played a huge role in the story, since Africans were getting their rights stripped away piece by piece. For example, laws were going against them to strip their citizenships, and even houses in certain areas. So people would lose their homes and it would in a sense create ghettos since they have to relocate somewhere.

The movie invictus portrays a very controversial issue that has been presented throughout history in many ethnic groups and is seen in societies up to these days. The apartheid is clearly pictured in the movie through many of the attitudes and actions that people take towards the other race they live in their day by day. What is more, Mandela constitutes one of the most important figures in South Africa, especially for the black race as he liberated them from the apartheid. From those days Mandela has been recognized worldwide as a major symbol of the rainbow nation; a reality of distinction between the black and the white people and its establishing differe nces.

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

In this thesis the writer “J.Matisonn” writes about how the TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission) not only addressed issues of crimes against humanity that also affected the Human rights of people but the other thing the TRC did well if anything according to this article it that it also addressed those people , organizations and even institutions who used media and propaganda in order to not only further the cause of the Apartheid government but to hurt so many families and relatives in the process.
