PEER PRESSURE NOT RECOGNISED IN THE COMMUNITY!

Knowledge around peer pressure is rather sceptical in the township, and most immoral behaviours are rooted to this devastating shibboleth. The youth is most profound to en-counter this obscure catastrophe.

Deep rooted within our township peer pressure is a major dilemma, the youth en-counter words such as “uyi-bhari/isnayi” (a fool), words that kill emotions, just in the oath that the particular individual that is being pressured does not conform to the groups prescribed action they were requested to do because the certain action is apparently being done by the majority of the fraternity, and the victim is not doing what was advised by their peers.

These actions range from indulging into substance abuse, life risk taking, and sexual abuse. These scenarios often partake within the presence of peers, many victims of this recklessness do these actions so they could live up to expectations and ‘fit in’ to a certain level of being one of the loyal members of the group or the fraternity. Peer pressure has far more reaching complications than these mentioned that span into suicide, low self esteem, change of lifestyle, and irregular responsibility.

In our township most of the decisions made by the youth are formed by the ethnicity of others, decisions are then not formidable to what that particular individual tends to do with their life in prosperity, this leads to a life of regret in the later stages of adulthood. Though this configuration is subsequent, and the fear that the plot is never going to be extinct we live on to witness the formidable outcomes but we should look for ways to fighting this debacle we all under-go.

As a person you have grown out of morals and the morals taught you self-respect, fighting this problem is essential to every individual out there to make their own responsible decisions, let us relinquish and apply our own decisions that will build us a brighter and prospectus future.

The un-thought effects of Xenophobia

Xenophobia is the unreasoned fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or rather strange; Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an in-group towards an out-group. In simple form Xenophobia is the deep rooted, irrational hatred towards foreigners.
This hatred is likely to have strong or far-reaching effect, radical or extreme measures of intense violence within the natives and foreign nationals. “Xenophobia” has been dwelling on our news headlines for the past few weeks, but have you considered what effects this drastic measure attains in the globe?

The impact of attacks has far-reaching implications on our economic, social and relations with the continent and the world as a whole. South African companies who are running successful businesses in the African continent who help contribute to our revenue and economy may suffer the fate of  being boycotted, which therefore causes a major downfall on the economy of  South Africa.
This could also mean that if the alleged attacks continue within the country we could sight our country facing economic sanctions, this means domestic penalties will be applied unilaterally by one country (or multilaterally, by a group of countries) on another country. Economic sanctions may include various forms of  trade barriers and restrictions on financial transactions. Sanctions are usually imposed by a larger country upon a smaller country for one or two reasons, either the latter is a threat to the security of the former nation or that the country treats its citizens unfairly. They can be used as a coercive measure for achieving particular policy goals related to trade or for humanitarian violations.
Some local stars have had their international tours suspended by promoters because of the current attacks that are happening here in South Africa, the “Asine” hit star Kelly Khumalo’s UK tour which was due to kick-off on 1st May, was cancelled by promoters because they think her presence might be taken to strain by the UK nationals. Bricks also had a gig lined up on the 17th of April but his gig was also suspended. Elite promotions, based in London said the tours have been cancelled “as a show of solidarity with the victims of Xenophobia”. Meanwhile the promotion company has called on the government of South Africa to take action and arrest those responsible for the attacks.
I conclude by sincerely pleading with the youth of Orange Farm not to indulge themselves in these attacks because we still have a lot at stake, we still have a future to build, let’s rather build the nation and not demolish it!
Join the fight against Xenophobic attacks and build a better and soluble nation.
