On the evening of May 2, Mr. de Klerk made a gracious concession speech. After more than three centuries of rule, the white mino

rity was conceding defeat and turning over power to the black majority. That evening, the ANC was planning a victory celebration at the ballroom of the Carlton Hotel in downtown Johannesburg. I was suffering from a bad case of the flu and my doctors ordered me to remain at home. But there was nothing that could keep me away from that party. I went onstage at about nine o’clock and faced a crowd of happy, smiling, cheering faces.
I explained to the crowd that my voice was hoarse from a cold and that my physician had advised me not to attend. “I hope that you will not disclose to him that I have violated his instructions,” I told them. I congratulated Mr. de Klerk for his strong showing. I thanked all those in the ANC and the democratic movement who had worked so hard for so long. Mrs. Coretta Scott King, the wife of the great freedom fighter Martin Luther King Jr., was on the podium that night, and I looked over to her as I made reference to her husband’s immortal words.

“This is one of the most important moments in the life of our country. I stand here before you filled with deep pride and joy--pride in the ordinary, humble people of this country. You have shown such a calm, patient determination to reclaim this country as your own, and now the joy that we can loudly proclaim from the rooftops--Free at last! Free at last! I stand before you humbled by your courage, with a heart full of love for all of you. I regard it as the highest honor to lead the ANC at this moment in our history. I am your servant....It is not the individuals that matter, but the collective...This is a time to heal the old wounds and build a new South Africa.”

Do you think such dedication to a movement is worth the personal cost? Why or why not? How might Mandela himself respond to this question?

The Renaissance and the Reformation are often described as eras that had many great advancements. In your opinion, what were the
statuscvo [17]

Renaissance became a turning point in the South of Europea that later spread to the whole continent. It had a philosophical as well as social, scientific and cultural connotation where old Medieval thought was finally no longer legitimate. It is most known for the representations in the art with the works of the Italian artists, however, we need to recognize it drove the emerging model of the economy at the time (known today as mercantilism) and also regained lost Greek and Ancient cultures knowledge that formerly was prohibited by the Catholic church.

Europeans engaging in the Renaissance became much more centered on the human aspects of life and still continued to practice religion but the former institutions from the Catholic church were significantly diversified into other Institutions, While the Reformation was an effort to reform the current state of situations in Christianity led by Luther, it especially further led to a time of economic progress and cultural development. It became one of the leading social movements that spread across the north of Europe. The people identifying with Reformation ideas began to develop a new way of economic life privileging money savings. This new change on paradigm brought salvation and prosperity towards the common European peoples. The Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism is a study of the relationship between the ethics of Reformation and the emergence of the spirit of the modern capitalism.
