The world has become a confusing and overwhelming place to live. While there have been (many)successful steps forward made in the areas of science, medicine, technology and space travel, in the realms of politics and government, it can be challenging to recognize progress. There are significant and recurrent problems within every country. Often times, with each new problem eagerly arising, there seems to be an underlying tone of familiarity and recognition within these problems. It is almost as if the problems countries face do not change, they simply take on new ways to present themselves. The media constantly shows us wars with different names, terrorism from extremists “over there”, ineffective political leaders, taxes (that are too

These are issues, to name a few, that have been rooted in society for timeless generations alongside politics. Politics ranges in intensity and complexity starting anywhere from a small town hall meeting and up to negotiations of international relations issues and formal agreements. At all levels, however, the people who create political decisions have differing opinions on what the real issues are, what priority they have, and how to go about finding solutions. Politics manages “we the people” and attempts to balance power and authority to represent and decide. At the present time, we are living in a time of political, social, and economic unrest named a type of new world disorder.

The idea of strength in numbers begins to become a problem to the white supremacists and the minority white government desperately finds ways to ensure the apartheid system does not collapse. The Suppression of Communism Act strengthens restrictions on any anti-apartheid actions and the National Party continues to destroy any further attempts to overthrow the government. To parallel to a more recent event, it has been made clear that governments continuously impose startling actions to suppress citizens. In the case of Malala, the Taliban is much like the National Party of South Africa. Due to war and unrest within the Middle East, after each conflict, the strongest power begins to form a type of government. The Taliban emerged in the early 1990s after the withdrawal of the Soviet Union. Since then, the Taliban has been known for its anti-democratic regime imposing strict and cruel regulations on its own people. For the purpose of my research, I have chosen to highlight the limitations the Taliban places on women, especially in terms of education. Much like the black people of South
