What have you found most inspiring about the person you have studied and how have they challenged your own worldview? ajeyn01 https://padlet.com/ajeyn01/7i8zxhd4rdmm/wish/336328579 My worldview was very open-minded and he helped me to keep it open and he improved it. He improved my worldview mainly because of his effort to make his home better. He did not use any faith to power him through because he knew that the Apartheid would think he was weak by using that. He opened my mind that not everything is fair and if you want something then you will have to work for it even if there are consequences. He was a very inspirational man to me and many people around the world as he did not only change South Africa but many views around the world. He has changed my view of the world slightly and has inspired me to pursue anything that I would like to complete as he did. ]]> 2019-02-28 10:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ajeyn01/7i8zxhd4rdmm/wish/336328579 3. Compare and contrast their worldview with the worldview they had to deal with? ajeyn01 https://padlet.com/ajeyn01/7i8zxhd4rdmm/wish/336684099 Nelson Mandela never said in any of his writings or public speeches but however the people that were close to him and was in his personal life knew that he was in deep faith. Most critics that studied Mandela considered him Christian as his choices that he made went along the lines of the Christian tradition. In Mandela's autobiography called the Long Walk to Freedom, Mandela recalls being brought up as a Methodist. He graduated from a Methodist boarding school and when he was in prison he bonded with the chaplains. The Apartheid policy said that blacks could be used as slaves and can be view as subservient species, the Apartheid tried to tie Christianity into the policy and saying it the policy does not cross the lines of christianity which Mandela tried to fight against. ]]> 2019-02-28 23:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ajeyn01/7i8zxhd4rdmm/wish/336684099 ajeyn01 https://padlet.com/ajeyn01/7i8zxhd4rdmm/wish/338792617 2019-03-07 11:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ajeyn01/7i8zxhd4rdmm/wish/338792617 ajeyn01 https://padlet.com/ajeyn01/7i8zxhd4rdmm/wish/339125447 Goalcast.
