Africa Union Day

African Union Day was about discussing the situation in Burundi. All the African countries discussed what we should do about the Hutu’s and Tutsis and what we should do with them and how we should stop them. Also we discussed the president running for a third term. We discussed what we should do with refugees and what we should do with them, like if we should build refugee camps.

The most significant thing I learned was that the Hutu’s and the Tutsis are a big deal, not just a little war. They have been fighting for decades.

My favorite thing I liked was the debate because we all got to team up or whatever and got to defend the same things and argue different things.

Apartheid Response

The relationship changes throughout the movie when the jersey kid turned down the Springboks jersey, but at the end of the movie jersey kid was listening to the final game with the police. Also I think that the team changed throughout the movie when they got to go to the jail sell of Mandela and the place where he was at. Mandela changed a little bit throughout the movie when he walked out at the end of the rugby match with a Springbok hat on and a Francois Pinaar jersey on. And also Francois changed in the movie by when he stood in the jail sell of Mandela and shut the door and looked out the window and realized how small it was.

This represented South Africa by uniting blacks and whites. I like when Francois said that they didn’t have the support of 12,000 South Africans but the support of 43,000,000 South Africans. I also thought that what united South Africa was when the team went to this little towns of all blacks, and when they first got there everybody was chanting, “Chester! Chester!” Because he was the only black player on the rugby team. And finally they got respect when after the rugby match almost all the stadium was chanting, “Nelson! Nelson! Nelson!” And it wasn’t just black fans but black and white fans.
