]]> 2017-03-29 03:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/163308347 To what extent is Mandela a truly radical figure and how did he not rise to conformity? fbaker5 https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/164519374 Nelson Mandela changed the way that white people viewed others. Not just people of colour but the entire nation. Him and eight other African National Congress leaders were convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the government, and were sentenced to life in jail in 1964. Mandela, while increasingly politically involved from 1942, only joined the African National Congress in 1944 when he helped to form the ANC Youth League (ANCYL).

In 1944 he married Evelyn Mase, a nurse. They had two sons, Madiba Thembekile "Thembi" and Makgatho, and two daughters both called Makaziwe, the first of whom died in infancy. He and his wife divorced in 1958.

Mandela rose through the ranks of the ANCYL and through its efforts, the ANC adopted a 
more radical policy, the Programme of Action, in 1949.

 In 1952 he was chosen as the National Volunteer-in-Chief of the Defiance Campaign with Maulvi Cachalia as his deputy. This campaign of civil disobedience against six unjust laws was a joint programme between the ANC and the South African Indian Congress. He and 19 others were charged under the Suppression of Communism Act for their part in the campaign and sentenced to nine months of hard labour, suspended for two years.

Mandela was not given any encouragement and no support . He had to fight for many years for what he believed in.  Mandela had one purpose in his life and he was willing to be killed before anyone told him he couldn't achieve his goals as heard in his speech which is shown below.

Despite harsh prison life, Mandela found energy to challenge his keepers. He was unwilling to accept the status quo and his presence on Robben Island held a mirror up to the face of apartheid’s leaders. Through word, deed and symbol, he challenged the system that denied him liberty and freedom to live the way he wanted to and in a place he wanted to. Nelson Mandela was never violent to get what he wanted but that doesn't mean other people weren't. When people didn't agree with his methods and beliefs they would physically, verbally and mentally hurt him.]]> 2017-04-10 10:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165637913 How has his work changed today's society? fbaker5 https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165638378 The effects that Nelson Mandela has had since he left prison were massive. Not only South Africa was changed but the entire world's view on equality shifted drastically when Mandela was released from prison. 
At the age of 65, Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in working to defeat apartheid. His service was recognised eventually but he had to spend a long time fighting for what he believed in and he had to stay strong to his morals. I think this has shown lots of people today how that if you want something so badly, whether it would be fighting for something or even achieving a goal

In the statement which I am about to make, I shall correct certain false impressions which have been created by State witnesses; amongst other things I will demonstrate that certain of the acts referred to in the evidence were not, and could not have been committed by Umkhonto. I will also deal with the relationship between the African National Congress and with the part which I personally have played in the affairs of both organisations. I shall deal also with the part played by the Communist Party. In order to explain these matters properly, I will have to explain what Umkhonto set out to achieve; what methods it prescribed for the achievement of these objects, and why these methods were chosen. I will also have to explain how I came, I became involved in the activities of these organisations - Nelson Mandela 

This is an exact copy of the first paragraph from Nelson Mandela's "I am prepared to die" speech. He discuss' his past and takes responsibility for his previous actions. This speech was performed in front of thousands of people. I think he was very courageous

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.- Nelson Mandela

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others- Nelson Mandela

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living- Nelson Mandela

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.]]> 2017-04-11 04:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165810657 fbaker5 https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165811014 2017-04-11 04:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165811014 fbaker5 https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165811133 http://theiranproject.com/blog/tag/nelson-mandela-death/]]> 2017-04-11 04:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165811133 What did I find most inspiring about him and ow did they take risks for the wellbeing of others rather than risking others’ wellbeing? fbaker5 https://padlet.com/fbaker5/qwkq23hdu9cz/wish/165813237 The biggest thing I found inspiring about Mandela was that he was not afraid to put everything on the line for what he believed in and his morals. He told everyone he was prepared to die and that he was sorry for his past but he wanted to change it. I found it inspirational that he turned his whole life around after he left prison.
