The explorers from Europe were active in this time by means of exploring and conquering the “new lands”. They slaughtered and put down the inhabitants of the areas they cam
e by, thinking this was their own property. We know about this from many films and documentaries of this event, for instance the Disney classical movie Pocahontas. But the explorers were not the ones responsible for the Apartheid System. In 1948, a political party called Herenigde National Party was elected. They went into coalition with the party called the African Party. This government was the ones to introduce the system. A film that has been made to document this is called Invictus. The system consists of four different groups that all the people in South- Africa were put into. These groups were the white, the black, the Asian and the colored. The white group was the dominant party, while the others were discriminated by means of habitats, education, politics, health and employment.Nelson Mandela was a very dominant character in this historic event. He fought for equality and mutual respect between the races in South Africa. He was arrested many times for his unstoppable involvement and interest in the welfare of all the different varieties people and cultures. He was imprisoned at Robben Island, where he expiated for 27 years. He was elected president in 1994, and was the first to be elected in a fully democratic election. He has been given around 250 prizes for his work against the Apartheid system in the country, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
Today, South Africa is a republic with eleven official languages. The population is of various origins; about 79.5 % of the inhabitants are of black African ancestry, 2.9 % of the inhabitants have their roots in Asia, and about 9.2 % are originally from Europe. We can thank Nelson Mandela for the improved situation in the country today, and his sacrifice for peace and equality will not be forgotten.

terroristic attack. This caused the death of 2 755 people, in the worst terroristic action in the history of the United States. In this entry, I am going to describe this terrible event, and try to reflect upon the consequences of these actions.
w York City, plane engines are not a common sound. That is because most of the planes fly higher or further away from the city for the sound to be that dominant. One of the people to turn their heads up was Gideon Naudet. He was with a squad of firemen from New York City firefighters, making a documentary on how it was to be a rookie in this job. The firemen had gone out to investigate an incident of smoke in the central city, not far from the twin towers. As Gideon turned his head, and his camera, upwards, he had no idea that the scene he was about to film would shake the very foundations of the American nation. The plane that caused the inhabitants to raise their heads towards the sky was flying in a straight line towards the northern tower of the World Trade Center, a complex of seven buildings in the Lower Manhattan. These towers were 415 and 417 meters high, housing 110 stores of offices, with the maximum number of 50 000 employees.
bor that America had suffered losses and the strike of war on their own soil. Most of the First World War happened in Europe, in trenches. The Second World War raged mostly in Asia and Europe. The Americans did contribute solders to these wars, but the wars never affected their homeland. Naturally, the American people started looking for the ones responsible for the attack. Al Qaida, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were pointed to as possible wire pullers. But the first measures put to life, were a higher level of security at the airports and the campaign to stop terrorism. The whole western civilization was in shock and filled with fear after this incident with the twin towers. At every airport around the world, strict restrictions to liquids and sharp objects were introduced. These rules we know today too. It is much more strict rules for the flights nowadays. But that is a price I think we should be glad to pay, considering the reason they are there. The attack on the Trade Centers shook the foundations of the western civilization, and we should not forget the people dying in this attack, and the importance of understanding and equality between humans.
