Physical Environment
October 1st, 2009
The physical environment in which we grew up gave us a message about ourselves. A black person living under the apartheid laws would get a message that life was unfair and difficult. I remember as a child going to a park reserved for whites, and seeing black children looking longingly over the fence. How did they make sense of what they saw and felt? Probably that they were inferior, why else would they be denied the pleasures that the white kids enjoyed. Living in the lap of luxury will give a child a totally different message.
