What attitude did people have to the Law Group Areas Act ​

History

Answer:

The National Party was elected in 1948 on the policy of Apartheid ('separateness'). This 'separateness' put South Africans of different racial groups on their own paths in a partitioned system of development.

Explanation:

<h3>Effects of the Group Areas Act</h3>

The GAA had strange implications for governance and responsibility as it became more elaborate and amended. For example, the Coloured townships of Coronationville, Noordgesig, Newclare, Riverlea, and Western Township are administrated by Johannesburg City Council while Bosmont is the responsibility of the Department of Community Development (South African Institute of Race Relations, 1964: 216). The work of welfare organizations was made more difficult by the GAA, like Lunalegwaba House, a group home for African boys, in Johannesburg could not operate because the regulations of the GAA did not allow the White charity to own the property (South African Institute for Race Relations, 1967: 306). People attempted to use the courts to overturn the GAA, though each time they were unsuccessful (Dugard, 1978, 324). Others decided to use civil disobedience and other protests, like ‘sit-ins’ at restaurants, were experienced across South Africa in the early 60s. The 'sit-ins' were not ill-received by the average White citizen, which the South African Institute of Race Relations believed proved that they did not object to sharing restaurants with the other racial groups (1961: 183). There was also resistance from Cape Town City Council who voted before 1964 to keep District Six and the central business district not dedicated to any one racial group; they had the support of the Cape Town Chamber of Commerce on this decision (South African Institute of Race Relations, 1964: 213).

Why was colonization the cause of so much violence in africa in the 20th century?
Fudgin [204]
<span>The Berlin Conference set down rules for dividing up Africa. This meant that the European colonizers established national borders that grouped certain African ethnic groups together. This meant that despite ethnic groups being historical enemies, they were now being forced to live within the same boundaries. 

Ex: German & Belgian colonial governments aggravated the historically tense relations between the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups in present-day Rwanda and Burundi. The ethnic violence between these two groups resulted in a war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people (as we saw in the movie Hotel Rwanda).</span>

Why did Margaret Sanger view birth control as a women's rights issue?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Sanger felt that in order for women to have a more equal footing in society and to lead healthier lives, they needed to be able to determine when to bear children.
