Introduction I have chosen to write about South Africa before, during and after the apartheid era. I'll try to explain why it was that it was in South Africa and why it could proceed so incredibly long. I'll also write about the struggle the black ran for a just society and how the whites responded to peaceful demonstrations with live ammunition. I have mostly used the Internet when I looked for sources and there was plenty of facts. I have written about apartheid that I must tell you what can…

determined attitude towards the involvement of shaping South Africa future. For the youth of South Africa, the barriers between whites and blacks, which dominated life about eighty years ago in Southern Africa, are disappearing (Saniei, 2015). In Cape Town or Johannesburg, individuals of every skin colour socialize and interact with one another. Friendships between whites and blacks are not uncommon, nor are interracial…

Fieldwork is an essential aspect of being an anthropologist, it allows anthropologists to learn about other societies and cultures. One of the most popular forms of fieldwork is participant observation which is when an anthropologist tries to enter the society and culture they are researching as deeply as possible, essentially becoming a local in that community (Hyland,2012 pp.28-29). Although, the anthropologist will always be somewhat a stranger which may limit the amount that the locals will…

The history of Colonial Empires is both a complex and an enduring one. During the nineteenth century, several reasons ranging from political, ideological, to economic interests paved the way for colonial expansion. However, it was the industrial Revolution which led to the successful rise and growth of the British and European Empires. The industrial revolution has had a major impact on colonial expansion, the rapid development of technology and the emergence of new machinery with new and…

It's given me the opportunity to travel to different countries and cities that I haven't been to. The Forgiven was filmed in Cape Town in South Africa. I hadn't been there before. One of the organizations that I work with now is an orphanage in Langa which is outside of Cape Town. When I was filming, I had the opportunity to visit there. I was able to find this organization and make a personal connection with the children and with the people who are…

Halloween is awesome because it's a time of year when people can drop their judgmental attitudes and accept one another as they are. A case in point is a Halloween dance party just like the famous Star Wars "scene in a bar" where Chewy and Han Solo find creatures and aliens of all different species laughing and drinking and…

Within the Regional and Comparative Studies major, I plan to study gendered violence in Sub-Saharan Africa – specifically how religious traditions create a culture in which violence against women thrives. In today’s deeply polarized world, it is more important than ever to understand the extremely divisive force that is religion, and how different religious beliefs serve to inform a society’s treatment of women. Several years ago, I read Jimmy Carter’s excellent book A Call to Action: Women,…
