This chapter is about the colonization of the third world countries also called the developing countries. We talked a lot about it in class but i was still confused about the actual distinction between the difference of first world and third world. In the map it said that the first world were know as industrialized so obviously they are more advanced. By what else sets these two differences in countries apart? In the beginning of the chapter they tell some of the counties that gained independence. There were a lot that i was pretty shocked about and it was considered sort of recent happening later than the 1950's. In additio many empires collapsed. India and Africa broke free of british rule. India created the INC and Africa created the ANC. The two main influential people of these two places were Ghandi and Mandella. Ghandi was the leader of INC and fought against racial segregation using a nonviolent approach. Mandella was the same type of leader in Africa and was also the president.
Two quotes I found were:
"Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory." Ghandi
"It always seems impossible until its done." Mandella
I chose these two quotes because they are related and they share a good message to everyone . Everything seems so hard to do before its done but after its an accomplishment. And the final product can be a reward depending if you gave it your all. If you didnt, you wont be very satisfied with your result let alone finish it. I got these two quotes off line and I found mandellas first and then found one from ghandi that could relate to it. I really like mandellas quote because I was tlaking about it today when i was working out. It can relate to the simplest things as well as the most important like a persons dreams.
