Process Paper
Purpose
1- This paper describes the highlights of Nelson Mandela’s life and his social transformation in the area of leadership and legacy. The basic purpose of my project was to find out why and how a South African President left an impact and was an inspiration to so many people in both the U.S. and South Africa.
Background
2- I have done a process of development that has made me learn so much about Nelson Mandela. I had a very few background knowledge of him. I knew at one point that he was the president of South Africa. But I know my mom had said she had seen him on Oprah once. That was pretty much it.
3- This paper and website has taught me a lot about a variety of groups benefiting from him. I also had a little knowledge of Apartheid.
Curriculum elements
4- I have learned so much about Nelson Mandela. Again I would like to say Nelson Mandela fought for and led the South African people for fair and equal rights. He left a powerful legacy for further generations. I needed to find out who was this man? How can he be one of the most influential leaders of the modern world? I wanted to find out what he did, how he lived to inspire so much respect from everyone. Therefore, I decided that he would be the best subject for my website.
