  1. NELSON MANDELA importantpeople Nelson Mandela “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest political figures of all times, one of the most inspirational figures, spent 27 years as a political prisoner in South Africa before becoming the country's first black president. He is regarded as a symbol of peace and reconciliation between the races. He is widely known for his determination for achieve equality and fair treatment of blacks in South Africa. He went to jail for what he believed to be wrong: judging people solely based on their skin color. Most of the people put him on the same level as Martin Luther King, Jr. John Michael Coetzee An author and academic from South Africa, a novelist and literary critic as well as a translator, author of “Waiting for the Barbarians” and “Life and Times of Michael K,” Coetzee was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy in Stockholm described his books as being “characterized by their well-crafted composition, pregnant dialogue and analytical brilliance. But at the same time he is a scrupulous doubter, ruthless in his criticism of the cruel rationalism and cosmetic morality of western civilization.”

  4. Natural resources and geographic factors Natural resources: gold, chromium, antimony, coal, iron ore, manganese, nickel, phosphates, tin, rare earth elements, uranium, gem diamonds, platinum, copper, vanadium, salt, natural gas geographic factories The classic photoparoxysmal response (CPPR) on photic stimulation in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of 128 patients with chronic epilepsy, constituting three different ethnic groups, was investigated. All patients were referred for routine clinical EEG investigation. There was a significantly higher occurrence in whites (2.7%, of 72 of 2,657) as compared with blacks (0.1%, 1 of 848) and subjects of "mixed race" (0.9%, 55 of 5,958). Interictal abnormalities and the range of responses were similar in the two main ethnic groups. There was no evidence of a seasonal association with CPPR. We conclude that genetic rather than environmental factors influence the CPPR
