My degree in South African heritage studies and management, really exposed me to a better understanding of what I like to call the 'culture gap' in South Africa. It is a burning issue worldwide, some countries are just better at hiding it under 'diplomacy'.Ijeoma Uche-Okekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719584212904035171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775405983789558293.post-53259211728518214922007-04-25T10:32:00.000-07:002007-04-25T10:32:00.000-07:00Dear Ijeoma, I completely agree with you that cult...Dear Ijeoma, I completely agree with you that cultural integration is needed in order to bring about understanding, tolerance and peace among people. <BR/> In the case of South Africa, this is still a major problem, you are right. In fact, thirteen years of democracy have not brought about a deeper understanding among the various populations of South Africa. <BR/> The division among people along lines of race, ethnicity, class etc. is obvious everywhere-at the university, at the workplace, at the shopping mall and basically everywhere etc. The media, the schools, the governors, the parents should teach the young generation to be opened to different cultures and backgrounds, so South Africa could really look like the "RAINBOW NATION", as they often describe it. People should learn on individual basis as well to open to each other! However, it will take time!Valentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381690014128927101noreply@blogger.com
