“Spain Starves Innocent Cubans”
Yellow Journalism is a form of media which is exaggerated and written to create an emotional reaction to the news story.
Yellow Journalism became a popular form of media during the late 19th century. It was especially used through the build up and during the Spanish-American War. Headlines, like the one above, creates an emotional response from the reader and the attention grabbing would sell newspapers. People would view the Cubans as victims, the Spanish as evil and support the war effort against the Spanish.
The correct answers are:
- Poverty levels became high among black citizens;
The poverty levels among the black citizens were high prior to the apartheid, so it is an over-exaggeration that the poverty levels became higher. The bigger problem was that the black citizens were not given the same opportunities as the white citizens, so that was what kept them poor and without prospect.
- A wide education gap opened between white and black citizens;
Very big problem was the education system, as most of the white citizens had education, while the majority of the black citizens did not. That created a very big problem as most of the black citizens were illiterate, thus stopping them from being able to progress even when the apartheid ended.
- White citizens controlled most businesses and industries;
Almost all businesses and industries in the country were controlled by the white citizens, That meant that they controlled the economy as well, and with the segregation that was taking place, it put the black citizens in a very situation.
