History of South Africa - Racism Apartheid Colonialism and Other Details

Kelly Mass

Sinossi

South Africa's ancient past is categorized into two eras: the Stone Age and the Iron Age, distinguished by overarching technological traits. The designation of these areas as a World Heritage site ensued from the discovery of hominins in Taung and australopithecine fossils within limestone caves at Sterkfontein, Swartkrans, and Kromdraai. The early inhabitants of South Africa were denoted as the Khoisan, Khoi Khoi, and San.

The Middle Paleolithic predecessors are believed to be the forebears of the native San and Khoikhoi tribes. Their collective name, the Khoisan, is a recent European amalgamation of these two tribes. The Khoisan's habitation in southern Africa aligns with the earliest divergence of all contemporary Homo sapiens groups, genetically connected to matrilinear haplogroup L0 (mtDNA) and patrilinear haplogroup A (Y-DNA), originating in the northwestern region of southern Africa.

The key distinction between the San and Khoikhoi lies in their respective occupations. The Khoikhoi were pastoral herders, while the San were hunter-gatherers. The historical origins of the Khoikhoi remain unclear.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Behind the polished image of multinational corporations lies an intricate web of influence that often escapes public scrutiny. These entities, driven by profit motives, exert significant control over political, economic, and social systems. Their ability to shape legislation, influence policy decisions, and dictate the trajectory of societal norms is unparalleled, raising critical questions about the balance of power in modern democracies. 
One of the most potent tools corporations wield is lobbying. What began as a mechanism to convey industry perspectives to lawmakers has evolved into a powerful industry in itself. Corporations spend billions annually to hire lobbying firms, fund political campaigns, and ensure their interests are prioritized in policymaking. This relationship often leads to regulatory environments that favor corporate profits over public welfare, as evidenced by weakened labor protections, diluted environmental standards, and tax policies designed to benefit the wealthiest. 
In addition to lobbying, corporations exert influence through their economic might. With massive revenues that surpass the GDP of some nations, they can dictate terms to governments and international organizations. This financial clout allows them to negotiate favorable trade agreements, secure tax incentives, and sidestep accountability for unethical practices. Governments, often reliant on corporate investment to sustain their economies, find themselves constrained in challenging this power dynamic.

Australia's War - The Impact of...

Lillian Brooks

The early 20th century was a time of great change and tension around the world. As nations sought to expand their influence, new alliances were formed, and existing powers prepared for conflict. Australia, still a young nation and part of the British Empire, found itself drawn into global events far from its shores. The road to war for Australia was shaped by its loyalty to Britain and its growing sense of national identity. 
At the start of the 1900s, Australia was still under the authority of the British Empire, a relationship that influenced much of its foreign policy. Britain, having secured its position as a world power, was engaged in a series of alliances and military preparations. The rise of Germany as a strong military power created a climate of fear and competition across Europe. Tensions escalated as nations began to stockpile arms, form alliances, and take aggressive stances toward one another. 
For Australia, the decision to support Britain in times of war was almost unquestioned. The strong ties to the mother country shaped much of the public opinion and government decisions. Australia’s leaders viewed their role as part of Britain’s global defense network, and many believed that supporting Britain in a time of war would strengthen Australia’s position as a member of the Empire. The idea of imperial loyalty was central to national identity, and Australia’s involvement in any potential conflict was seen as a duty to uphold British prestige and security.

Trauma Stewardship - An Everyday...

Anonimo

This beloved bestseller-over 180,000 copies sold-has helped caregivers worldwide keep themselves emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, and physically healthy in the face of the sometimes overwhelming traumas they confront every day. 
 
A longtime trauma worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll taken on those working to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, or numb or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, affect us individually and collectively, sapping the energy and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to benefit humankind, other living things, and the planet itself. 
 
In Trauma Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional way. Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices, drawn from modern psychology and a range of spiritual traditions, that enable us to look carefully at our reactions and motivations and discover new sources of energy and renewal. She includes interviews with successful trauma stewards from different walks of life and even uses New Yorker cartoons to illustrate her points. 
 
"We can do meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve," Lipsky writes. "Taking care of ourselves while taking care of others allows us to contribute to our societies with such impact that we will leave a legacy informed by our deepest wisdom and greatest gifts instead of burdened by our struggles and despair."
