Question one:

Some of the statistics that surprised me is the report by medical research that more than 25 percent of South African an admits to have engaged in rape and more than half of them having been in raping more than one person. Another statistic that surprised me is the involvement of young boys below ten years in rape activities (9.8%) of the interviewees who were asked about their age when they first forced a woman or a girl into sex. The final statistic that surprised most about rape in South Africa is the report that for every 25 men who commit rape in South Africa only one is convicted of the crime they did.

The crime of sexual assault is casually justified by interviewee in the video. For instance one of the interviewee says that rape is the only way to make lesbians believe that being sexually straight is the normal sexual orientation accepted in the society and even lacks word to explain the way he feels bad about them as he says it hurts him so much to talk about it and despite the fact he has never had an intention to rape one of them he admits that if there are men out there who are willing to 'correct them' by that he mean raping them, then they better do it. By this comment the crime of raping is justified casually just like if it isn't a violation against the fundamentals of human rights.

One of the female interviewee also says that it is normal in South Africa to see the person who raped her working freely in the streets without the authorities taking any action despite the rape victim having physical evidence from the sexual assault. This indicates the causality treatment that rape victims face in the nation, instead of getting a fair treatment from the state; they are being accused of being prostitutes.

Question two:

The globalization has negatively affected the indigenous traditions and values and introduced the policy of determination which increases the society's dependency on welfare and the government rather than building on the creativity and self reliance by the indigenous people. Also globalization has led to overthrowing of the rights of the indigenous society replacing them with the legitsaltion hence demeaning to the minority society.

The analogy of exploitative tourism is true because the indigenous communities have often been denied involvement in decision making regarding the utilization of resources found in their communities hence making the investors to manipulate them for their own benefits.
