Poverty in the face of integration and inclusion has no effect

Image
It is obvious that the curse of poverty is rejection, but not just hunger. Because if we determine the curse of poverty by hunger, it will be as if we just characterized it by an element which is not even primordial nor which does not determine it totally. Note that poverty is indigence, a lack of the things necessary for life and poverty is any deficiency of elements or resources that are needed or desired, or that constitute richness. This is not explained just by hunger but by everything necessary for the survival of man, let us point out that hunger is part of it. And so, I accept that the curse of poverty is not hunger but rejection because hunger is part of poverty and not poverty per se; but the curse of poverty can be qualified as rejection in the sense that, since poverty is determined by the lack of necessary things, it can cause a person to feel in the lack of something which is essential to his survival, may feel rejected and this will have consequences over his entire li...

Three realizations or emotions experienced by our own prejudices, our own hurts caused by our community

Image
  In today's society, we live under a silent tension that makes us believe that we are a united and peaceful society, and yet there is a cold war going on in our ethnic and religious groups. In this article, we are going to share with you three realizations or emotions that we have experienced as a result of our own prejudices, our own prejudices and injuries caused by our community, and the grievances of other members of our community.   The first realization that we experienced is too recent and too irritating in the sense that it is explained by the fact that there is a grandfather of a family who refused to bless the marriage of his granddaughter because that she wanted to marry someone who was not of her religious belief and ethnic group, and this resulted in the marriage being annulled completely. It moved and pissed me off both by the fact that I was disappointed to see such an act in our days and such hatred that destroyed the happiness of the granddaughter. The ...

Mandela’s values ​​that set him above all

Image
Nelson Mandela remains to this day a role model for his life devoted to the struggle against apartheid and then to the reconciliation of the Rainbow nation. He was a man with a big heart, intelligent, wise, generous, honest, etc. Beyond all that, he embodied the person of value and principle on which he walked, which made him a man without limits who had the grandeur of a fight for Man. However, it is important to clarify that Mandela had several values ​​but in this article we will highlight 3 of his values. Firstly, the value that gave him more self-esteem was dignity, he valued human life more regardless of racial differences, and he had confidence in himself and what he did. Secondly, it was an ideal for a free and democratic society in where all people lived in harmony and with the same opportunities; he devoted his whole life in the struggle for the African people and he fought against white domination and against black domination; it proves how often he is honest, loyal and i...

Reflection on conflict transformation based on the little book of Conflict Transformation of Dr John Paul LEDERACH

Image
It is obvious that in our current world, we cannot live without having heard from a distance the word “conflict”; not to mention that most people no longer know how to do it, especially since it is an event or a problem that takes place in society. Before I read Dr Jean Paul LEDERACH's book, entitled "The Little Conflict Transformation Book ", I thought that to end a conflict, you just have to resolve it and everything will come back to order while forgetting that this same conflict may return in another form which may cause even more harm than the one last time. Now I have learned that in order to cope better with a problem or conflict, it is important to be able to turn it into an opportunity. And so, conflict resolution should no longer be part of our methods or approaches to be used when we are facing conflict in our community. The best approach to use is conflict transformation. Remember that change is a process, and to change better, we must develop a plan to fo...

How Gandhi inspires me and what my nation the DRC can learn from the Gandhian movement

Image
The way Gandhi inspired me is justified by his way of seeing things and struggling with non-violence. Nonviolent resistance is a good resistance in the sense that it works and it makes the state feel guilty for all the injustices it can do directly or indirectly to the people. Gandhi is indeed a pioneer and theorist of resistance to oppression through mass civil disobedience, this theorization was based on nonviolence, which helped India to get independence. It has inspired many liberation and civil rights movements around the world. His critical analysis of Western modernity, of forms of authority and oppression (including the state), is a questioning of the development that influenced many theorists and political leaders [1] . What inspired me more about Gandhi was that he was willing to give his life to shine a light on injustice; he had principles which greatly increased his value on his personality, principles which even made him renounce his married life, all for the genera...
