Student Question

Here is a question posed by Aayesha: After studying both Apartheid in South Africa and the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S., we can notice striking similiarities. However, after analysing the outcomes, there are noticable differences. We notice that the South African society and people have resolved the issue more effectively than the Americans, who find the racial issue an 'uncomfortable' one to confront and talk about. Why is it that these two countries have dealt with similiar situations in such different ways?
