Exploration 11
The speeches were very inspiring, but one passage that really stood out to me was the very first paragraph of Nelson Mandela's speech. It states "Because of their courage and persistence for many years, we can, today, even set the dates when all humanity will join together to celebrate one of the outstanding human victories of our century." This is a very inspiring passage which can be thought of with everyday victories. Such as a homeless person getting what they need to survive, or a child getting a present under the tree of Christmas day. It is something worth celebrating. Here is a link to some research I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transkei#Notable_persons There is a section of the article that talks about Transkei's government which I found very interesting. Also a part of it states when Transkei was trying to become independent and they were denied. How could somebody denie a country's independence!

This is a picture of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. He and many of his followers went into exile in India and was eventually given governmental powers.

It's very interesting that thousands of people followed him into exhile. There is no question that he is a great man, but I wonder how the Tibetans determine how as a child he was qualified to be a religious leader.
ReplyDeleteIt is shameful that a Tibetan native is forced into exile. I was also wondering how a Dalai Lama is chosen
