It later became a standard defence of the sporting boycott of apartheid. That black cricketers like the West Indian Alvin Kallicharan could only compete as honourary whites rather confirmed this view‚ as it did that of the

“Art” as a Form of Resistance W.E.B. Du Bois discussed how blacks struggled to deal with “the problem of the color line”. The idea of the color-line is brought up in essence to the role of racism in our society and American history. Many people of color used art as a tool to fight back and try using different forms of art as resistance‚ but it does not always work. Using “street art”: graffiti‚ tagging or murals‚ is one of the ways how people tried to push back against oppression. Graffiti art is

underground resistance movements developed in approximately 100 ghettos in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe (“Jewish”). The Holocaust was one of the most horrific events to ever occur in human history‚ and is most commonly known for when the mass murder of over six-million Jewish people took place. In 1939‚ thousands of Jewish families were forced to leave their homes and live in small‚ fenced-off areas known as ghettos. With miserable living conditions‚ and constant Nazi terror‚ resistance was not easy

These are a few of many stories in which Jewish citizens used hope and determination to their advantage‚ to fight for their survival and through resistance‚ have an impact upon the Holocaust. In every Ghetto‚ in every deportation train‚ in every Labour Camp‚ within the Hidden Forests‚ and even in the Death Camps; the will to resist was strong‚ and took many forms.

the wire increases‚ the resistance of the wire will increase. Background: Some materials have consistent resistance at the same temperature regardless of how much voltage is applied through them‚ these materials are known as ‘Ohmic’ resistors. This is because they are said to obey Ohm’s law‚ which states that if a voltmetre is used to measure the voltage (V) of an unknown resistance (R)‚ and an ammetre is used to measure the current (i) through the same unknown resistance‚ then ‘R’ would be given
