Scientific research is a field of study that relies on the integrity of all those involved. As scientific experiments are conducted with other studies in mind, any one mistake or cover-up in an experiment report can lead to disastrous results. Therefore, it is extremely important for scientists to use proper methods of collecting and evaluating data. They must also write down all pertinent information to the study so that it can be closely examined for biased or flawed methods. If a scientist uses a flawed method of data-collection or data-analysis, his entire study could be skewed. If a scientist were to do a study on whether dogs had preferences between different kinds of foods, he would have to make sure that the foods were equidistant from the dog. If he did not, he would have a flawed method of data-collection. If he published a study as proof dogs liked one food better than another without recognizing that the dogs had simply picked the food closest to them, he would have failed at proper data-analysis. Incorrect analysis is very harmful because it can mislead readers and provide distorted views of a conclusions scientific merit (Data analysis.)

The paper by Morselli and Passini takes into account the autobiographies of three peaceful political activists: Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mohandas Gandi. The scientists noted that many autobiographies showed signs of bias; the authors picked events that correlated with their current ideals. They claimed that narrators not only narrate, but also justify themselves (Morselli & Passini, 2010). They wondered if this key phenomenon would show up in the autobiographies of Mandela, King Jr., and Gandi, so they decided to do a study at micro-level. This meant that their research population was  a small group of individuals in a particular social context (Schaffer).

To collect precise data on the autobiographies, Morselli and Passini used an intricate procedure that they adapted from methodology used by K. Keniston. They created different categories of key factors in life (e.g., family, childhood, and adolescence) and used cross-sectional comparison (Morselli & Passini, 2010). QSR-N5 software was used to select relevant passages from the text. Then, two independent coders performed the analysis; they came together to compare results only after both had finished. Morselli and Passini took all the right steps to make sure the collection method was appropriate. Analysis of text can be subjective, so it can be hard to put into concrete results. Morselli and Passini smartly combated this obstacle by having two different coders work independently.

To further analyze the samples collected, Morselli and Passini took the units that the coders identified and divided them into groups based on which autobiography they were from. Then, they compared the passages from different books against each other. Morselli and Passini did a stellar job of documenting exactly what passages led them to come to their conclusions. They managed to show evidence that the three political activists had remarkable similarities in their recollections of their lives, despite the fact that they had grown up in completely different cultures.

Accuracy of data-collection and analysis is very important for any scientific study in order to ensure that misinformation is not spread. In their paper on autobiography analysis, Morselli and Passini used careful methods to ensure the integrity of their results. Using detailed documentation and independent researchers, they proved their results to be truthful and validly obtained.

Background

Nelson Mandela was born on July 18th, 1918 and died on 5^th December 2013. He is well known for being an anti-apartheid. He served as president from 1994 to 1999 as South Africas first Black president. He focused on defeating apartheid through the elimination of racism, inequality, and extreme poverty. He also served as the Secretary General of the Nonaligned Movement from 1998 to 1999 in the international front. In his quest for freedom, Mandela was jailed for twenty-seven years.

Influence

Mandela has inspired me in many ways. He is a man with many great achievements including the Nobel Peace Prize, Presidential Medal of Reedom and the Ghandhi Peace price award. The personality attributed to Mandela is worth recognizing. His great achievements make him my hero.

The selfless nature and humility Mandella portrayed has helped become humble. In most cases, things do not happen the way we plan. However, being humble in such situations helps us become victors in the long run. Mandela displayed humility in various ways in his fight for the liberation of the Black people in South Africa.

Another attribute that I have learned from Mandela is that of tenacity and firmness. Even after being captured and detained in prison, he never gave up. I have learned from him that one should not despair when faced with challenges. The world requires people of strong will and zeal, and Mandela is that great person who has displayed these attributes. His persistence in the fight for freedom is an indication that he is a strong willed man who does not give up in the quest for what he pursues.

Being a humanist is an attribute worth admiring. Mandela was born to a chieftain. However, he pursued law in order to serve his people. He strongly battled apartheid policy enacted by the White government. He began his mission through peaceful struggles. Negotiations, civil defiance campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations accompanied the struggles. After realizing that the peaceful movements were not bearing fruit, he decided to adopt violence in order to win the struggles and liberate his fellow countrymen.

The ambition, love, and leadership skills in Mandela have also ignited my passion for becoming an ambitious man. While still in college, Mandela had the determination of building a better South Africa by defending his people. His quest for liberating his people portrayed him as a leader who is out to fight for the rights and freedoms of his people. He was not frightened by the obstructions that he met in life. He courageously turned these challenges into stepping stones to greater achievements. He could be filled with courage when faced with trouble. These are the true traits of a hero, and Mandela is my true hero.

The life and achievement of Nelson Mandela will remain an inspiration to me. There are many achievements that I have realized by emulating Mandela. I strongly believe that without him, my life would not be as successful as it is today. Therefore, his deeds and achievements should be treasured for future generations as well.

How Nelson Mandela became leader and how did he change the thinking of the people that thinks that the black people is different to the other culture Nelson Mandela was fighting for this right and to think that we are the same humans no one in this world has been left out. Nelson Mendela was the first black president of South Africa. Nelson Mandela was born in Rolihlahla Mandela on 18 of July 1918 in Mvezo. He is a descendant of a temblor royal family. He was the first family who came to school. He is served as a local chief and councillor to the king. His devout Christian mother enrolled him in Methodist school, that the school give his english name which is “NELSON”. His father is the leader of the tribe one which leads him to become a leader he followed his father advocacy. Father’s death when he was 12 years old, Mandela was brought him to the center tendu monarchy to be raised by the king region to know him that he is a new leader of this organisation. He is living in the royal family and expose Mandela the powerful example of black leadership that remain the source of influence though his life. Mandela attended the Fort Hare University College and studied law Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg. This school is only for the black students this has the frequent target of racism. In 1944 He join the African National Congress and anti colonialists political party to empower the black the black population living under impressive under the oppressive wide authority. He also launch the Defiance Campaign in 1952 this serious of nonviolent direct action the united of black and Indian and communist collilunios. The party that he belong to is swiftly crack down on their efforts during Mandela and Mandela been banned to ANZ and before along his campaign had died out. In 1956 Mandela and a hundred Fifty five college tried for treason trial he been convinced that a paratied will not fall without army resistance. He was captured August 1962 and charge of conficiency he receive a life sentence. In Robben Island Nelson Mandela remain the symbol of black South African resistance but Mandela got arrested and he spent 25 years in jail. While his in jail for 5 years his also changed in sabotage prison and violent conficurcy he sent the life in prison and barely escaped the death penalty.

Nelson mendela is a kind of leader that fights for the right of every person, especially a wide variety of cultures to one. Nelson mendela wins thus all the people now is treating them the same as other but there’s some people that still not treat them right but it lessens because of mandela. Nelson Mandela was the great leadership you can take other personality but defending on the nation we can go to. We all have different opinions cause each and everyone have the right to say our opinion. But Nelson Mandela even if across the world Mandela shows a great leader. Mandela been ask this question how did you learn a great leader? He answer that question “he would go to his father to tribal meetings and he also remember two things to that meeting that they we’re always sit in a circle and the second on is his father was the last one to speak. He also say that you need to learn how to listen to other people to let them advice you for what is good for you. The skill is it give them the feeling that they been heard what you say and the people feel that they contributed something on the community. The skill is really to keep your opinion to yourself If you agree with somebody don’t just say yes, if you have an opinion then say it, if you disagree with somebody if you don’t like their opinion just say here’s my opinion. This how great leader is him. This is the characteristic that Mandela a great leader. The leadership style that he was using is the demogractic cause his is fighting for the right. He is also fighting for Forgiveness Is Key To Focusing Forward because some of us if we did wrong to others they are not forgiving this person even if he/she apologizing for what he did. This kind of leadership he is forgives everyone because he is realising what wrong he did. So that even if he goes to jail for a very long time he dont kept the anger in his heart.

He managed the conflict by South Africa provides a distinctive chance to study the process of person-to-person inversion, restitution, and reconciliation. White individuals had to begin the restitution process, relinquishing their political authority and some financial power. This is why nelson mandela are fighting for their rights because they cant get the same treat like the white people get because they think that they are different to us. Mandela was trying to comprehend what motivated individuals, inmates and wardens alike. To give the solution of this conflict he actually learned the white Afrikaans ‘ language for reading their books, listening to jail wardens ‘ life tales, and helping them achieve an education. Some african’s people had a long suffer because of this kind of treatment which is not right that why mandela change this kind of thinking the black afrikaners should have the same treatment as they treat the white afrikaners many white people feared them for their lives and property which is for the black afrikaners with the arrival of a black government. During the colonialism period, the commission investigated crimes committed by blacks and whites. Leaders such as Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, acknowledged for upholding moral principles, monitored this committee. To overcome their desire for justice and take advantage of the historic opportunity to overcome partners of retribution, of black people were challenged the commision supplied individuals with civil and criminals amnesty in exchange for full confession of the truth. All of this conflict is being resolved by nelson mendela. This has been proven because like all of the black people now is like treating them the same treat as they treat in white people. So now because of nelson mandela the black people now can go out and can go around. Unlike before the black people feels like that they were not belong because of their skins

D) Conclude the case study with a closing statement which clearly shows an evaluation of how effective they were as a leader. Support your evaluation with the role of support people in their tenure, outcomes of conflict resolution and approaches to conflict resolution. (approx. 250 words)

Nelson Mandela we all know that Mandela was in the prison before for 27 years in prison t and this is a kind of challenging for him but this 27 years in prison it actually help him to create his character of leadership qualities that we know when he came out from the prison when we him walking out from the jail we can see his calmness his forgiveness this things that he learn in prison when he was there that was combined with his full heart he also accepted what he done wrong. Nelson Mandela ha a capacity to project certain elements of leadership of the intelligence of calmness that Mandela has. Obama and Nelson has a similarity of calmness but the differences between them is Mandela he earn it he achieved this kind of stuff of calmness through all of those he experienced in the prison and the things that he learn in the prison is he realise that he is ever going to Unite South Africa and be a leader of white and black Afrikaans and he has to understand the language of Afrikaner he has to understand what makes them happy and satisfied for his service. He learn Afrikaans in prison but in the prison he didn’t just learn Afrikaans he also learn about Afrikaner history he learn all of this to be right leadership for the Afrikaans. Even if the sport that the Afrikaner want he learn about this about the rugby sport. The great tribute to his leadership is so many people would say that it’s amazing he is not bitter or angry even if he live life in prison for 27 years. He realises that he could not show that feeling. How can the people see his leadership if he show the bitterness of his past. he said that “he said that I can not ever show that cause I’ll never achieve harmony I’ll never achieve reconciliation if I show anything like anger. Nelson Mandela is a south cross of the world and Havel. And also Nelson Mandela learn his leadership is from his father that is way to the great leader because of his father. Nelson Mandela been inspired by his father to be the great leader. Also Nelson Mandela show his good leadership by showing his care about the black africans he know that we have all right to live in this world so mandela show that to the people who trust Nelson. Nelson Mandela also motivate him to the people who believe in him that he can do what he want to happen. He has a was of peace, cause he want the peace of mind and to be like this first thing you gonna do is to be honest for yourself cause if we gonna do this we can never have a big impact to the society if you have never change yourself. He is also With his smile, he had a strong presence and disarming enemies. Also He showed the world what forgiveness looks like, he show this because when he go out to prison he forgive the world. He was positive, thinking about what could be cause the positivity that he can fix what is happening in their country like his dream that it should treat them equally. He was a visionary and could see the big picture, He can see what is gonna be good for each one of them. He is focus on what is his goals like his goals is to be all of them to be fair. He had the very remarkable endurance because of what he did in his country. He is so humble cause

He is doing better than everyone else he is always being good at everyone cause his priority is the people around him before himself. He was full of hope, not hate cause he has trust in himself that he can do what everyone wants. He is always being patience even if he always fail but he doesn’t want to give up because of the people who trust him so much, trust that they will experience the same respect that they want to get.

Many South Africans may have found themselves thinking that there is no hope for a fully prosperous and united South Africa. I, however, believe very differently. We all live with the same hopes and dreams for our beloved country and with the right mentality we can overcome the challenges faced in creating a truly united nation. No longer will we have to face discrimination and unfair treatment because of our race, religion, or lifestyle! All we need to do is to learn from past errors and build on the sacrifices made for us all to be free.

Nelson Mandela is my role model and I think he is a hero in the eyes of nearly every South African. He is a great example of a South African who sacrificed for the greater good of our country. He helped abolish the oppressive system of apartheid, and he did so by choosing the route of negotiation and reconciliation instead of the violent and chaotic route. He led by example so that we could build on what he started. We must not let a great man’s sacrifice for our country go unnoticed. Only once we change our own ways can we change those of others.

How do we build on South Africa’s sacrifices? Mandela simply created equality between white and non-white people. The law unfortunately does not always stop the wrongful racial and religious discrimination experienced daily by each one of us. Therefore, it is our responsibility as residents of this beautiful nation to put aside our differences and understand that the unknown should not be feared but embraced, for knowledge is power and ignorance is the downfall of us all. Thanks to Mandela, I realized that to build, we must eliminate the prejudices instilled in us from older generations and create a generation free from these harmful, unnecessary prejudices.

Talk is cheap, but walking is scarce. To unite fifty-eight million of us South Africans is a large-scale operation, and without proper action, it is just talk. It becomes even more difficult when living standards are very different between races and religions. Thanks to Mandela and his struggle, I realized that educating our poor is the key to our walk. And before long, we will be running toward our shared goal of unity.

To conclude, I believe that it is vital that every single one of us continue creating a South Africa worthy of its sacrifices. We are not defined by the past. However racial, religious, and lifestyle discrimination is a problem developed from our past and until we, like Mandela, abolish the obstacles standing before us, we will not be able to unify. As my role model, Nelson Mandela taught me that we are not stand alone. Rather, shoulder to shoulder with a man or woman who has overcome adversity together with us. I don’t want to see any division, only one chain of diverse links who sacrificed for their country, who walked for their country, and who no longer must suffer discrimination.

Men are not born hating another person because of skin color, background, or religion; they only learn to do so which signifies that they can also learn how to love one another. This powerful statement from Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, A Long Walk to Freedom (1994), constitutes the essence of Mandela’s activism: an end to racial discrimination in South Africa. This is especially made evident in his speech at his 1964 trial after being arrested for his opposition to the apartheid political system in South Africa. In his speech, Mandela applies mostly logos by stating vital facts about the socioeconomic inequality of the African indigenes of South Africa. His ethos is also solidified by being a prominent figure in the fight against white supremacy and being able to fight for the cause to the end, Mandela appeals to emotion (pathos) by reminding the audience that all human beings have the same motivations and goals despite differences in race.

A vital element in Nelson Mandela’s appeal to logos (reason) was his ability to state the conditions of the black people in South Africa. Through this, he was able to identify the problem of inequality between black and white people to persuade his audience that he was indeed fighting for a good cause. He starts this by providing facts about the overall economic nature of South Africa, “South Africa is the richest country in Africa, and could be one of the richest countries of the world.” Mandela asserts that the South African economy is growing, but this growth does not translate to development. He argues, that the white population enjoys a higher standard of living compared to the Africans who constantly live in poverty. Mandela affirms that forty percent of Africans live in unconducive environments characterized by pollution and erosion, and thirty percent have menial jobs similar to the Middle Ages serfs (and are not even permitted labor unions). The remaining thirty percent, who live in developed towns, still suffer from a low standard of living. Mandela further discusses inequality in education: “… approximately forty percent of African children between the age group of seven to fourteen do not attend school.” The African children who manage to attend school are subject to lower standards compared to white children. White children also enjoy higher government expenditure allocations compared to black children. By providing these facts and statistics, Mandela can reach out to the audience through reason and analogies that the African people of South Africa deserve better treatment. He also uses logos to justify ignoring the ban on his political party, the African National Congress (ANC), by claiming that “Africans were not part of the government and did not make the laws by which they were governed.” Therefore, he uses the syllogism form of logic to conclude meaningful propositions: since Africans do not have a say in government, they should not have to carry out the will of the government.

Along with strong logos appeals, Mandela also appeals to emotion (pathos) by evoking emotion by stating very sad realities that he expects his audience to ponder. As a result of white supremacy, the white population of South Africa sees blacks as inferior. Thus, whites see Africans as “a separate breed”. In addition, Mandela asserts that “they do not look upon them as people with families of their own; they do not realize that they have emotions…”. In this case, one can say that he combines logos and pathos applying comparison and analogies and making his audience feel sympathy. The audience can also feel sympathy through Mandela’s affirmation of the effects of discrimination on family life such as spouses being separated and children wandering around the streets because of no education. Furthermore, the emotion of anger is evoked by citing the multiple cases of violence, which according to Mandela, cannot be cured exclusively by death sentence. He also relied on pathos as well as logos using the emotion of helplessness in his persuasion: “Africans want to be allowed out after eleven o’clock at night and not to be confined to their rooms like little children; African women want to be with their men folk and not be left permanently widowed in the Reserves…” These two statements arouse sympathy and anger. Through pathos, Nelson Mandela aligns his ideology on development similar to that of Nobel prize winner Amartya Sen: a system of capabilities and freedom for all citizens (Human Development Report, 2019).

The last appeal, ethos (credibility), is mostly made manifest in the closing portions of his speech. Nelson Mandela is one of the most prominent figures known for advocating equality and fairness for the black people of South Africa. He testifies to this important fact which adds to his credibility: “During my lifetime, I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people, and I have fought against black domination.” Through his activism, Mandela deems himself worthy to be part of the race for the end of apartheid in South Africa. He solidifies his ethos by affirming that he is even prepared to die if that is what it takes to end the racism and discrimination of black people in South Africa. Here, he was able to merge ethos with pathos by stirring up sympathy to the extent of his passion for ending apartheid in South Africa. Mandela also adds to his ethos by citing credible sources to strengthen his argument. Some of these sources include the Bantu Educational Journal which enables him to reinforce the argument of educational inequality between whites and Africans. He also quotes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the contention that the government must pay attention to the needs of the people: “The will of the people should be the basis of the authority of the government.”

Mandela fortifies his argument on the poor standard of living in South Africa by citing a health authority: “According to the Medical Officer of Health for Pretoria, tuberculosis kills forty people a day (nearly all Africans). Mandela through his well-structured words and reliable citations proves himself worthy enough to persuade his audience.

In conclusion, Nelson Mandela through his synthesis of Aristotle’s appeals was able to compose a well-written and structured speech. Throughout his speech, his tone was peaceful and respectful; he did not throw any abusive words. The speech was originally aimed at being a defense to the accusations made against him. Instead of focusing just on himself, he used the opportunity to speak on the injustice that Africans are going through in South Africa. However, the trial was not in his favor as he and other members of the ANC political party were sentenced to life imprisonment. Though he may not have been successful initially, through Mandela’s activism South Africa was eventually free from apartheid and blacks were able to vote. The impact of this speech and the actions of Mandela continue to live on through an equal and non-discriminatory South Africa.

Nelson Mandela was born July 18, 1918 in the Eastern Cape Province of the South near Umtata. A surname was formed on behalf of his father. At birth, Mandela was given the name Rolihlahla, but at school Mandela was called Nelson, in honor of the British admiral. Nelson Mandela attended Fort Hare College, from which he was expelled in 1940 for participating in a student strike. In 1943, Nelson Mandela started to studying law at the University of Witwatersrand, but did not receive a law certificate. Nelson Mandela received a bachelor of law degree only in 1989. In the 1950s, he was one of the most active fighters against apartheid in southern Africa. By 1960, Mandela became the recognized leader of the ANC. In 1960, in the aftermath of the unrest, more than 60 Africans were killed, the South African government banned the ANC. On June 1961, ANC leaders decided to move to an armed struggle against apartheid. In 1964, he was arrested by South African security forces and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1985, Nelson Mandela rejected the release of South African President Peter Botha in exchange for refusing political struggle. In 1990, in the conditions of the crisis, the system of apartheid Mandela was released and in 1991 headed the ANC. In 1993, Nelson Mandela and South African President Frederik de Klerk were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to end apartheid. In 1994, the first national elections were held in South Africa with the participation of the African majority, as a result of which Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa. In 1996, under his leadership, a new constitution of the Republic of South Africa was drafted and adopted, which guaranteed all South Africans equal rights, regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation. Remaining as president of the country, Mandela resigned as the leader of the ANC on December 1997, and in the elections of 1999 he did not stand as a candidate for the presidency of South Africa. Moving away from public affairs, Mandela continued active social activities. He was awarded many government awards from dozens of countries around the world. Ex-president of South Africa Nelson Mandela passed away at the age of 95.

One of the reasons, why I can identify Mandela as a leader, it is ability to self-sacrifice. As I mentioned above, he spent more than 25 years of his valued life in prison on Robben Island. When freedom was offered to him, Nelson Mandela refused this, saying: “I can not and will not give any commitment, at a time when I and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be divided!”. The second reason that I want say is his compassion. He forgave his potential enemy, the Apartheid government, which bring to himself and to his family much suffering. He had opportunity to destroy them, but he chose the higher route instead. The third reason is he was a unifier. When Mandela became governmental labor, he tried to bring people with different colors of skin together. Many people expected from him to prefer rase with identical skin with him, especially from his tribe, but because of his prediction for a multination, South Africa is currently benefiting from its rich diversity economically, educationally, and traditionally. The last reason is that this great person showed his commonality with nation. He cared on the needs of others, rather than his, listening to those whom people ignored, and looking for those whom people had rejected. He ministered as to poor people as the rich people; he ministered the educated and the illiterate. Mandela was an example of respect for justice, freedom and human rights. He taught us all a great lesson in reconciliation, political transition and social transformation. This could be achieved only by a figure with his deep humanity, moral integrity, authority and a clear vision of the future of his country. His achievements are a message to those who must resolve issues that would seem to have no solution. Even the most terrible conflicts can be resolved peacefully. This is a terrific man, who lived a difficult and long life. A third of his life was spent in difficult conditions. His contribution to the aftermath of apartheid is immense. He has done a lot for humanity, and his memory will remain not only in his people, but throughout the world. He is loved in many countries, he is honored all over the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that residents of all countries celebrate his birthday. 67 years of his life he gave the fight for social justice, equality and democracy.

Nelson Mandela seemed to have had charismatic qualities early on as young adult that carried on into his mature years as a leader. Charisma defines as a construct between leader and follower, where leader offer idea and followers believe not because of the success of the idea itself, because of the unusual qualities of the leader. Nelson Mandela had wonderful ideas for his nation, which lead to the prosperity of South Africa. Without his quality of personality as charisma, probably the ideas of this person would be ignored. There was a certain pattern that gave Mandela, who formed emotional relationships with people. He was afraid to do what he considered necessary in order to assert his faith. Many of these resurrected people are in favor of believing, which eventually allowed everyone to form a new nation.

Even now, at the dawn of the 21st century, there are too many divisions, hatred, social barriers and violence in our world. The main goal of everything we do in life, both personal and public, is to continue the difficult path to a better world – the one we so enthusiastically dreamed of. To fight and destroy is very easy. The real heroes are those who establish the world and begin to build. Let every day be inspired by the example of Nelson Mandela’s work in the name of a better and more just world.

There are a lot of amazing humans past and present, but as far as I’m concerned there isn’t any as heroic as Nelson Mandela. Nelson was a great bloke and he did so much for his country. Nelson Mandela is a hero and I look up to him because of how he changed so many people’s lives for years and years. He also is an amazing person and role model and basically the whole world looks up to him which was well explained in the movie ‘Invictus’, which I highly recommend to anyone.

He was a very courageous and brave man because he stood up for black people’s rights. He was sentenced to life in prison because of treason. He was in jail over a quarter of his lifetime. Once he got out of jail, he became the countries first post-apartheid president and all of the rules were changed so everyone is equal. He changed a lot of rules which took bravery because of all of the people who still believed in apartheid.

Nelson Mandela influenced not just South Africa but the whole globe. Nelson is one of the most heroic people ever to live. His legacy in South Africa is unbelievable because now they have laws that there has to be a certain number of black people in sport teams. To gain support for the election he used the national rugby team which was loved by blacks and whites. He also became an important person in the ANC and he set up the ANC youth league. After the ANC he went to gain support for peaceful protests around the topic of the country’s racist laws.

Nelson Mandela is a hero because he is such a brave and courageous man to stand up to the law and do a jail able offense to stand up for his rights. He also peacefully accepted his jail sentence because that is just the type of person he is. Nelson was an extremely peaceful dude because when he became president, he didn’t go against white people but instead he just made them both equal. As proof of that he won the Nobel peace prize in 1993. Each year the Nobel peace prize is given to the person who has done the most for world peace.

Nelson is a hero and some reasons that explain are:

1. He was very courageous standing up to the law like he did because he knew that he was going to end up in jail but he did the right thing for his country.
2. Becoming president was a massive move in his life because it happened after he came out of jail which is a big change.
3. Saving his people from apartheid was probably the most famous thing he ever did. Apartheid was a system in South Africa and Namibia where black and colored people were treated like slaves and the white people were treated as the superior race. Apartheid existed in South Africa and Namibia for 42 years between 1948-1990 committing an act of treason was probably his most heroic move of his.

Nelson Mandela was a great man and his legacy will have a lasting impact on South Africa, I’m sure if he was around today with the whole Black Lives Matter thing, it would have ended by now.

Nelson Mandela is a very important man. He was active in an organization named African national congress (ANC). The most important debate was racial segregation in South Africa. He believed that to overcome racial segregation, black and white people had to live together in peace. It would be no help in “throwing out” the white people. New nonviolent resistance methods were therefore used. Boycotting campaigns, mass demonstrations, and other forms of civil disobedience were put on the agenda. In 1952, the first nationwide protest against apartheid was initiated by the ANC. The campaign gained tremendous support and was named the Disobedience Campaign. Hundreds of blacks were shot and killed while many were reportedly outlawed. Among them was Nelson Mandela. This was the first time he was arrested and wanted outlaw.

He was sentenced for several things. He was being arrested unfairly. Throughout South Africa, people marched in demonstration protests against the prison. He had now become the very epitome of black liberation in South Africa. When he was released, 100,000 people came to honor him. He then played a central role in the negotiations leading to the first free elections in South Africa’s history, and a formal abolition of apartheid in 1994.

Mandela is a role model for many people because of all the work he did for racial segregation, he believed that both black and white people could get along and live together. He never stopped fighting for the rights of black people. He went undercover even when he was sentenced to prison to work with the peace. When he finally went to prison he still accomplished many things even from there. Everything I wrote about him is a great example of why he is a role model for so many. He went from being an average lawyer to being one of the most important persons in the world. If he hadn’t done what he did, the world especially South Africa would maybe be in a different way.

My role model is my grandfather. My grandfather was a politician back in the day, but he is retired now. My home country Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan before. Bangladesh became its own country in the 1970s. My grandfather was in that debate about getting bangladesh out of Pakistan. He also was the first Bengali in Norway. He brought many Bengalis to Bergen. He has done many great things in his life. It isn’t near what Mandela did but he is important for some of us Bengalis here in Bergen. He is my role model because if he hadn’t found a way to get Bengalis into Bergen I probably wouldn’t live here in Bergen in this fantastic community.

Community service is important as it can teach volunteers humility and compassion, among many other important life lessons and skills. It encourages volunteers to create awareness about inequalities in society and also helps them to develop a better understanding of the communities and societies in which they live.

Other ways to assist those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic could be making cloth masks for the homeless or providing more masks to those working in hospitals. One could also do the shopping for family members or friends who are vulnerable, such as grandparents or people with compromised immune systems who are unable to leave their homes.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded by Nelson Mandela in 1999 and aims to promote Nelson Mandela’s vision of freedom and equality for all people through convening dialogue that includes issues around human rights and democracy. The organization’s main objective is to find sustainable solutions to the problems that humanity faces. Their Dialogue and Advocacy program works by facilitating social engagements to promote positive change in society. Mandela Day is one of their most well-known campaigns that falls on 18 July each year, Nelson Mandela’s birthday. On this day, people are encouraged to spend 67 minutes or more doing community service. In this way, the organisation is giving back to the community in many different ways through the people of South Africa.

One can protect themselves and others from the spread of COVID-19 by staying in their homes as much as possible. By doing this, one is keeping themselves safe from being exposed to the virus as well as not exposing others if they are infected or have any symptoms of the virus. Another way to prevent the spread of Covid-19 is through social distancing and wearing a mask. One protects themselves and others from the virus when people stand further away from others in shopping centers, at work, or school.
