Hey guys!
We watched
the film “Long walk to freedom” about Nelson Mandela in three of our English
lessons. It was a very moving film with many powerful scenes and now we want to
describe the most impressive one.
At the end
of the film, there was a scene where the black people started a civil war
against each other. Some of them hold Nelson Mandela’s opinion, that it’s only
possible with peace, and there is no other way to stop Apartheid, while the
other ones had the same view as Winnie Mandela. They wanted war.
This scene
was so shocking, because the Apartheid was “black against white”, but by the
time the black people started to slay other black ones, just because they had
another point of view. It degenerated in a horrible massacre, where also
innocent children died.
A recent
issue, which is similar to the situation in South Africa, is the refugee-crisis
in Europe. In our opinion, it is unfair, that the Syrians are discriminated by
some Europeans just because they are foreigners to them and they have another
skin colour or religion. Many Europeans are just afraid of the Syrians and they
don’t know how to handle the new situation. We should give them a chance to
start a better life here, because when we were in their situation, we would
also expect to be accepted in another country.Think about that!
Have a nice day everyone!
Have a nice day everyone!

The fights between the black people were definitely not something Nelson Mandela wanted. I can understand that some people really hated the white community and that they wanted revenge. Nevertheless, I think Mandela's peace process was much more successful in the end.
ReplyDeleteThe refugee crisis pushes a lot of countries to become politically more right winged. Not only in Austria but also in a lot of other countries people don't want migrants in their country.
