good example of how it is important to not forget the past, but South Africa is a different society or at least it is trying to be. I had a discussion with a few of my classmates and somebody suggested that the Rhodes statue should not have been taken down, but a plaque placed on the statue. I thought that was an interesting comment and I am still wondering what happened to the statue that was taken down. I believe I read on the Mail and Guardian how there was another Cecil Rhodes statue near a…

A.) Conflict Theory / pg.27: Theoretical framework in which society is viewed as composed of groups that are competing for scarce resources After watching this video I realized that there was a conflict theory going on in these "mega slums". One of the biggest resources that is most competed for is water. Water is so scarce and is distributed unevenly throughout the slums of Dharavi. It 's causing many conflicts. The allocation of water resources is also an issue. More water from the dams is…

Thursday, October, 8, 2015, I was privileged with the opportunity to see the production, Our Town, written by Thornton Wilder, and directed by Rose Riordan. Our Town takes place in a small town called Grover’s Corner in the early 1900’s. Our Town is presented in a much different manor than most plays today. Instead of changing sets and meticulously hand painted backdrops, the actors use nothing but some chairs and a pair of ladders. The storyline of the play is intriguing, but not so much as the…

He makes the story personal by creating a simple plot, ordinary characters, and using the word “our” in the title Our Town,…
