"The above message can be found written on larger than life signs... It is meant to dissuade white people from entering the black world. As a result, more than 90 percent of white South Africans go through a lifetime without seeing first hand the inhumane conditions under which blacks have to survive." (3)
Discrimination, a word discussed all over the world to end it but nothing has changed. The idea of being treated differently or unevenly because of differences of any kind plays a major role in life. Throughout time, nothing has changed and people still discriminate people based on differences no matter who they are. No one can say they do not discriminate because they all do in ways they just do not realize. In this memoir, the black people of South Africa are forced to life in horrid conditions under extremely limited and controlled lifestyles all because they have different a different skin color. The topic of study for this year is discrimination. People discriminate by other's abilities, disabilities, race, beliefs, and any other intolerable difference a person can have. The way society works is intriguing how we say we should stop this but it never happens.

This notebook entry in my opinion was the best because this one personally hit close to home. I stand firmly against discrimination directed towards people. The thought of a place where discrimination leaves people so stripped and so horrid just upsets me. To me, this post is a definition of the world to me. It is an element to a philosophy of people that i have.
