We Did Not Mourn Enough Analysis

1442 Words6 Pages

We did not mourn enough. I agree with Prof Jonathan Jensen, we did not mourn enough. It would not be easy to mourn because justice was not served, because of apartheid because people did not have enough time to mourn and they did not unite afterwards, it became difficulty to trust each other, blacks and white do not trust each other, while some hate each other. Culturally people should mourn, it doesn’t matter how much time takes but they should mourn and heal. Truth and reconciliation commission (TRC) quickly expected people to mourn but people were unable to forget what happened, TRC expected more than they should form the people. Apartheid has destroyed people’s life, people cannot force keep the pains and hurts inside them; they should disclose what they …show more content…

I agree, the school system have to make learners their first priority especially the Grade 12s, if the government and the schools systems do not fail the learners there won’t be gender discrimination but if the systems continues to fail learners they end up being drop outs, hence there is a high rate of crime, murders, when coming to the issues of girls they find most of themselves being young mothers. Such issues should be taken deeply into consideration because the youth will never deal with the fact that apartheid is over, when the youth fell that they have been failed, they will develop anger and as a result they will decide to start to fight for the fact that there is race discrimination amongst blacks. All learners in schools should be catered for in the same way, learners should be classified according to systems.

If the systems will carry on like this there will be huge fights in the

    Inequalities have always existed in society. These inequalities are often perpetuated through education. While the United States Supreme Court supported desegregation of schools and struck down the idea of “separate, but equal” in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education cases, there still exists many inequalities within the United States educational system today for minority races and people of the lower economic classes. Ann Ferguson in her article “Bad Boys” discusses punishment practices in schools and the detriment these practices provide as they resemble incarceration. Conley in his article “Education” discusses education acting as a sorting machine and the tracking of students.

    This example that White provides does not match up to many schools out there. White providing examples like these where he mentions it only shine a positive light towards females certainly do not prove that altogether boys are being left behind. At Sir John A. Macdonald, the publicity around the school of females or males depends on what kind of activities are taking place every week. One week the girls hockey team might be the talk of the school simply because they happen to defeat another school compared to the boys volleyball team that might have lost to another school or vice versa. White openly admits that the schools are failing our boys, but since when did schools take on the ful responsibility of the school to educate these boys to fully teach them how to be proper boys ?

    The plight of the African Americans to abolish slavery and racial discrimination has left American history with a lot of lessons and ruminations regarding humanity. People, when left with power and authority, has the ability to oppress the weak, and to aggress the strong. This makes the divide stronger, and thus disunity to pervade within human society.
