The Mandela Effect

Improved Essays
To begin my presentation I'm going to give everyone a piece of paper. On that paper can everyone please draw the kit kat logo. Draw it completely from memory, do not look it up.
What did you draw? Some of you probably drew it with the dash, like this. And the rest of you most likely drew it without the dash. But which way is the right way? (pause for dramatic effect) the right way is without the dash. This is just one example of the Mandela effect.

The breakdown, first I’m going to talk about what the Mandela effect is, and I don’t mean the art piece. Then, Nelson Mandela, and after that I’ll explain a few reasons for why it happens, mixed with some examples. So let’s get started!

The Mandela effect. What is it? The Mandela effect is when

Can some please describe that for me. Here’s what your classmates think (show the description videos)The monopoly logo is a little man with a cane and a bag of money. But most people seem to think he has a Monocle. The reason for this one is a complete mystery to me.

Another reason is fake news and word of mouth. For example somebody posts something online, they post it as a joke or a hoax, or even just wrong. Someone else comes along and reads it, not knowing that it isn’t right. They will then go and tell other people, who tell more people, who tell more people, none of which know that the information is wrong. Thus creating the Mandela effect. For example the Evil queen from snow white. The Evil queen from snow white never said “mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all.” but someone, somewhere said that and told other people. When in reality the Evil Queen says “magic mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all.” I got a few people from around the school to “impersonate” the Evil queen, here’s what happened. Here is one more explanation for why this might happen, brains are strange. A human brain likes to make things “correct.” spell words how they were taught to spell them, make animals look how they're “supposed to” look. So, monkeys should have tails and words should be grammatically

    '"(John 219) This shows how Mandela has changed for the worst. He's in between worlds right now and he doesn’t understand how to respond to it. Acting out is what he does to cope, but this change is to his detriment. Other changes were minor on the grand spectrum of life, but at the same time were so significant because they signified these boys new values and lifestyles.…

    A rhetorical analysis “breaks a work of nonfiction into parts and then explains how the parts work together to create a certain effect—whether to persuade, entertain or inform ” (“Rhetorical Analysis”). There are in fact many stakeholder organizations that implement this technique to effectively convey their argument through the use of several rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, logos and kairos. Stakeholders are organizations or individuals who have a stake in or “care about any given issue, topic, or event” (Browning 45). One such organization is the Polaris Project which is “a leader in the global fight to eradicate modern slavery” (Bouchard).…

    In today’s society, individuals are simply expected to be loyal citizens of their countries by adhering to their nation’s laws and paying annual federal taxes. Moreover, this notion has remained constant even throughout our revolutionizing history and has made the opportunity of equal rights for everyone regardless of gender or race seem almost unattainable. In Nobodies: Does Slavery Still Exist? by John Bowe and Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela, both authors expose the brutal sufferings of select individuals’ everyday lives and how these revelations have inspired ordinary citizens to stand up against their government and call for a necessary, significant change. However, the extent of contribution from a citizen’s proper role to gain…

    I have chosen Nelson Mandela for my comparison to Chris Mccandless. The reason I chose this freedom rights leader is because I feel like he has a lot of similarities to Chris in many ways. They are very similar in ways that I will explain in this essay. They are both from very different places, they have different situations but they are doing something to reach greater solitude and that’s why I think they are very similar.…

    Gone are all the old Apartheid laws, the prohibitions and banning’s, the power to arrest anyone without giving them trial- no more inequality or suppression. There were no “whites only” signs in the communal parks, or at the beaches or any other public venues. The “legal” residential segregation has been terminated. Elections were free, schools have been enhanced and were no longer racially separated. Today we find far more blacks with university level education and professional careers than that of the Apartheid era (Saniei, 2015).…
