Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid was a system that made it legal to be racist to Africans from 1948 to 1993. various races were separated into different regions, and discrimination against people of color was not only acceptable, but legally entrenched, with whites having priority housing, jobs, education, and political power. Although South Africa was heavily criticized for the system, it was not until 1991 that the legal system of apartheid began to be broken down, and in 1993 was thrown out altogether with the election of Nelson Mandela, the first black democratically elected President of South Africa. The term is also used more generally around the world to refer to systemic racism which is tolerated, rather than confronted.
The reason that he was a hero wan because in 1960, the African National Congress was banned, and Mandela was one of the founding members of Umkhonto we Sizwe, a violent civil rights organization. His membership was shortlived, however; in 1962, after traveling out of the country to speak about the situation in South Africa and receive military training, Mandela was imprisoned for life, and not released until 1990. The African National Congress was reformed in 1991, as apartheid began to be dismantled, and Mandela was elected President of the organization, going on to take office as President of South Africa in 1994, serving through 1999. In 1993, he won the Nobel Peace Prize apartheid in South Africa. in recognition for his efforts to end.

film lesson schinler's list

I think that this film captured the holocaust very well the brutality of the camps where on point and very accurate. For me the most powerfuol scene in the movie was when they took all the children from the camp and you see all the kids trying to run away. That part for me was a sad part seeing all the kids being taken from their parents that was powerful. The part of the movie that will stay with me forever is the part where you see that kid trying to hide and he cant find a good place to hide so he hides in the toilet.

Nigth and Fog

When i saw this documentary i first thought that this is so wrong how can anybody be so cruel. This mass killing is a crime against humanity it shouldn't have gone on for that long. I thought that this film wasvery powerful showing the actual footage from the camp powerful stuff. "Schindler's List" pails in comparison to this documentry it just doesn't give you the same experience as actually being there. The documentry definitly captures it better than the Hollywood version. The reason that i say this is because you feel more inclined to the experiences
from seeing inside the camp seeing the fingernail mark in the roof of the gas chambers. It almost makes you feel as if you were there.

Film lesson: Gandhi

In the movie, Gandhi wanted to help his country to be free. So something he did was made his own clothes and boycotted the brittish clothes he also showed his people how to make clothes.
When his people started using violence to fight the brittish Gandhi fasted until the stopped.Gandhi's philosophy was not to use violence he protested and held public meeting to show civil disobidence. The only reason that India got there independence was because of Gandhi if they didn't have him they would still belong to the brittish. One of the main factors in this event was the fact that the brittish were in WW1 so they really had no money and they lost alot of men in the war.
