The social history of WhSAfE starts with the establishment of a trading and re-freshment station by the Dutch in the Eastern Cape at the end of the 18th century, con-trolled by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and frequented by British ships on their itinerary to the Far East (see Bowerman 2013: 512; Bowerman 2008b: 164). Due to the military capture of the Netherlands and its oversea possessions by Napoleon, the station, together with the surrounding area, was taken over by the British in 1795…

This is an example of the bias that can be found in narratives. Of course, he feels more affectionate about the South than the North because the South is his home and it is where he feels most comfortable and so far his only experiences in the North, that he documents, are bad ones, the cold winters and the absence of familiarity (Rucker). To the narrator the south is a representation of being home, with loved ones, essentially being free of troubles and worries. He tells the story of his…

children’s rights cannot do that. Also in this paragraph it will talk about human rights watch which a lot of people should have. “Despite South Africa’s strong constitutional protections for human rights and its relative success at providing basic services, the government continues to struggle to meet demands for economic and social rights” (SA, 2015). “South Africa continues to play an important but inconsistent role in advancing the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people”…

Great changes in culture and advancements in technology in short spans of time, staying strong under less than friendly circumstances. That is the Modus Operandi of South Korea, despite the nation’s relatively young age, and conditions of coming into existence; it is a major Asian power. Prosper in the face of adversity, with the odds stacked against you, when no one expects you to. Seeing where something comes from can shed light on how it became the way it is. When someone or something is…

The vast majority of the land consists of mountains and narrow valleys, making it so only about one-fourth of the country to has inhabitants. Due to the deforestation of the land for agricultural purposes, it is becoming more and more…

Whilst growing up and going through puberty, one is expected to go through many awkward, downright mortifying experiences before making it through to the other side, the side of young adulthood. The cracking of voices, the sudden acquisition of body odor, and the occasional menstrual mishap while wearing one’s favorite pair of jeans are trying but normal experiences for the pubescent population. Sure, one is likely to remember some of those experiences forever and to have learned lifelong…

My heart raced, as he stared at me with his bloodthirsty eyes. I had never been more scared in my entire life. “Hold out your hands,” he said, “the more you resist, the more it is going to hurt.” I knew I was in for a great deal of pain. I was about twelve years old, when my parents sent me to weekend school. They thought it was going to be a great way to become more knowledgeable about my religion. Everything about the school is a blur; the only thing I remember about it is the teacher: a…

The Paul Simon Graceland Controversy was about how Paul Simon was going against the apartheid boycott. However, in his mind, he was still protesting against apartheid because he hired black musicians or artist to perform with him. The people of South Africa did not see it that way. The only way a boycott works is by having everyone boycott. Even if that means, breaking all ties with…

Confucianism states that the individual must put the country ahead of himself or herself, but the most violent fight in South Korea right now is the clash between the labor unions and the Chaebol. The workers are subjugated to poor working conditions along with smaller wages. “Workers must work for a better life”[1], this statement seems correct at its inception but it lends a view into the average Korean blue collar worker. It paints the picture that by giving up their self-happiness and…
