Individuals and
Societies

3. Audio, Video or Written

analyses of your social
commentary in your
scene/monologue and how it
specifically relates to your Peace
and Conflict case study.
i) Record and comment on
sources (books, articles, political
cartoons, diagrams, photos, web
pages, etc.) you have found for
your project. The comment
should relate to the origin,
purpose, value, limitations and
content of the source.
E.g. Peoples Century: Skin
Deep (1995) TV documentary
This is a US/UK TV documentary
about the US civil rights
movement and Apartheid in SA
made for audiences in US, UK
and other parts of the world.
The value of the source is the
information on Apartheid 1940s1990s. It is also useful as it
explains the effect that the US
civil rights movement had on
Apartheid. The source is limited
as it was made in 1995 so it
does not comment on SA after
Mandela came to power.
Viewers may misunderstand the
situation in the country after the
end of Apartheid.

what you learnt during the

Answer these questions: Why
did you include them in your
