I viewed posts and articles or documentaries from several of my peers, but Denice's post is the one I enjoyed the most because the three issues she touched on are issues that I care significantly about even here in the US: education, gangs, and women.
From the videos and articles on her post I learned the dynamic changed from people fearing the government to people fearing the gangsters in their communities. I also discovered the lost generation: the population of those who were denied education legally and financially were still not taken care even during post-apartheid. Lastly, women's rights and equality for women looks like the next form of civil rights movement that needs more attention. This issue alone reminds me of the strength of Winnie Mandela and how governments all across the globe need to start adapting to changing gender roles.
I also enjoyed Denice's post last week! These are all important issues that show that there is still much that needs to be changed.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I feel as if women's rights were completely overlooked during this movement. After reading some of the articles I feel like South America is on track. They realize the prevalent gender inequality in their society, and slowly but surely, I think they are going to be seeing progress in the future.
