Imperialism

Introduction

Welcome to Year 11 and Studies of Diversity! We will be looking at the notion of violent versus non- violent resistance- delving into the misconception that force is the only way to effect change and that no one other method can measure up to it. There are various ways to make your voice heard and to bring about change. for example, Oscar Temaru resorted to violence after the failure of non-violent means to halt French nuclear testing in the Soiuth Pacific. martin luther King and Mohandas K. Ghandhi chose non-violent campaigns agaist justice which was opposed by government backed violence.

Through historical studies, in this theme, you will come to understand the historical origins of the diverstiy of political, racial, ethnic, social or religious groups of society, ntion or region and the ongoing historical significance of the relationships among groups.
