Rolihlahla "Nelson" Mandela<span> was born on the 18th July 1918 in Qunu, South Africa. As the youngest son of a respected African chief, Rolihlahla was offered the opportunity to go to school. Here he was named "Nelson" by one of his teachers. Mandela eventually studied at both the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law, setting up a law practice in Johannesburg with his friend Walter Sisulu. It was the injustices he dealt with on a daily basis that began to influence him.</span> Political Development - Role in the ANC
In 1943 Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) which appealed to the South African government for African rights and political changes. Mandela was part of a young group which brought a new sense of youthful optimism and pro-activism to the ANC.
In 1948 the government implemented apartheid. This was a legal system causing separation of people based on their racial classification, with subsequent oppression for non-whites. The government used police and armed forces to enforce apartheid and implemented increasingly stringent laws to outlaw any opposition. In response to this the ANC began a policy of passive resistance; encouraging boycotts, "stay at home" strikes, non violent civil disobedience and non co-operation with the everyday apartheid rules and regulations.
Activism, Arrest and Imprisonment
As a highly educated lawyer with natural leadership abilities, Mandela was an influential figure within the ANC. During these years, Mandela was banned, arrested and detained numerous times and was tried for Treason in 1956 but later acquitted. As the government increasingly sought to suppress all anti apartheid movements the ANC was declared an illegal organisation in 1960. As a last resort, after the failure of peaceful resistance to challenge governnment oppression, Mandela founded Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), Spear of the Nation. this was a new underground section of the ANC, which was preparing an armed struggle to use limited sabotage against the government with the aim of achieving policy change. After being arrested, using Mandela's vast legal knowledge, throughout the trial the accused stated their position as oppressed political activists, who were willing to use any means to help achieve an egalitarian South Africa. Mandela's final speech to the court stated:
"<span>I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."</span>

1. The Olympic games were originally invented by the ancient Greeks. They got their name after the highest Greek mountain, which also represented the border with the ''barbarians'' on the north of them, namely the Macedonians, Illirians, Thracians, and Paionians. These games provide a nice clue about the values and culture of the Greeks in this period of time. One thing is the competitiveness that the Greeks had. Also, the striding toward perfect and strong body through exercise and healthy diet is another thing. The pride in representing the city-state and bringing glory to it was another important thing.
2. The thing that is admirable about the Olympic games is that it was an excellent way of competition without having any conflict, but being a peaceful, sporting event, in which people from the different city-states were trying to bring pride to themselves and their city-states. It was also very good because it was motivating the people to be like the competitors, to have healthy diets and regular exercises. The thing that is not admirable about the games is that people form other ethnic groups were not allowed to participate. It was only on few occasions that a single Macedonia was going to be allowed to participate, and when it happened that the Macedonian won, it was seen as big humiliation for the Greeks, so he was not given the honors and price as all other winners. SO we can say that it was a discriminatory competition.
