Question: How can you relate the following testimonials talked with each other in the hare discourses                                      used in Europe, Africa and America? 

Testimonial: "They don´t want toshare this country with us, they hate us!If they had it their way. They´d drive every single person and live us nothing. Not even the clothes on our backs." Taken from the script of "godbye bafana" in the scene in which Gloria Greggory tries to justify the apartheid system to   her  husband.

The movie “goodbye Bafana” is about what happened in South Africa around

1955-1994 which was when the apartheid happened,  this  period of  time  was

when the white people  started  to   discriminate  the  black people and even

the white people who  supported  them,  putting  them  in  jail  without any

good reason and punishing them for everything  they  did. All  along this

time   it   was   prohibited   reading  the  freedom  charter because  that text

 contained all of the rights that.the black  people  had  and   if   anyone of

any race saw that they    could  start clamming   for   their   rights.   Gloria

Gregory was one  of  the  people  who  at  the   beginning  discriminated  the

white people and agreed on treating them the way they did but after sherealized that they were just like others.

Elections of the United States of America 2016 was held on Tuesday

November eight of this year (2016) Donald Trump   and   Governor

Mike  Pence,  running  on  the  Republican  ticket,  defeated    the

Democratic     Party's     nominees    former    Secretary   of  State

Hillary Clinton and Senator    Tim      Kaine.    President   Barack

Obama could not run again due to  the  two-term  constitutional

limit. This topic generated a lot of different ideas. Latino people are really concerned about the results, Donald Trump has said many things against Latinos and some of his ideas involve making a wall between Mexico and the United States. The American Lady in Michigan she says, that the Latinos are going to take over everything and that Donald would be the only one that its going to stand up for everyone and say no.

​

These two ideas were thought on different periods of time but they are actually really similar how on that time the black people did not did anything that wrong for them to be treated that way. Same thing is happening to Latinos we have made mistakes but that does not make fair for anyone to say that we are taking over or for anyone to discriminate us for being what we are and what we don’t regret Latinos. In both cases people are getting discriminated not even because of personal ideas, just because someone else says things that may not be true at all.

​

In both cases there´s a trend; people believe on what others tell them to. This trend is that in almost every country there is always someone who picture someone like an “enemy” for example in Germany those “enemies” were the Jews, In United States the Latinos, Muslims and a long time ago in South Africa the Black people.

'The people are so beautiful!' That's enough of the colonial tourism

 

 This text was written by SE Smith it was published the 8th of april, 2014 on Theguardian.com.This article talks about how when people travel they only pay attention to the small perspective, which means, they only see what is on the top, the superficial. for example when travelers refer to natives they describe them as so nice and so beautiful, but they need to take a look at the bigger picture and see the native´s everyday lives.

SE Smith  wants to give her point of view on this topic saying she does not like the way those travellers are just observers who describe people with simplistic terms using objectification which means saying "the people are so loving and gentle"  but they don't really notice that they haven't seen all of it.The writer also explains that people should be more focused on getting into the life of the country get to know the place, learn its history and obviously respect the people who live there and get to know the place in a responsable way . Smith talks about how the tourists take pictures of their activities as if they were in a kind of museum, or in a kind of zoo "There seems to be a general idea that invasive photography as a tourist is not only permitted but encouraged, to document these "beautiful people" in their "natural habitat"and I think that the terms she uses to explain herself are not rally appropriate and that taking pictures of the people and then show them to people on your country is fine because that way other people would like to visit that place.

​

What I think about this text is that there are some aspects like that w¡travelers only focus on the superficial and don't get into all of what the place is made of and I agree on that but I don agree on how she talks about the pictures because if people didn't took pictures of what they saw in a place then how  will others be interested on going? So pictures really help on the tourism of that place..If you want to know more about this text I really recommend you reading it.
