It is a known fact that there are some pretty amazing occurrences that go on in this world. Miracles, and space travel, and future technologies all give to the obstacles that we, as mankind, have overcome(SC4). Today there are so many phenomena that happen every day (BE3). A viral phenomenon has spread across the nation that gives people the illusion of remembering an event that never happened, or something changed without anyone noticing. The Mandela Effect is what this is. Where did this idea come from? Why did it come about? Some people believe that they had slipped into a parallel universe and that is where the occurrence happened. This can be hard to believe, but it is one of the many theories that support the Mandela Effect. The simple …show more content…
Confident and certain in herself, Fiona Broome, a self-described ‘paranormal consultant’, fabricated the Mandela Effect (BE1). After she discovered that she had the same false memory of Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980’s as many others did, she started a blog to post findings on the Mandela Effect and keep the followers up to date. She was talking to acquaintances about this theory, describing what she remembered happening and found that they had the same memories: Mandela died while incarcerated during the 80’s, there was media coverage of his funeral, his wife gave a touching speech, and the nation mourned (Broome). These were memories that felt so real and she was able to describe what happened. Prison released Mandela in 1990 and he became the president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He died in 2013. What happened; didn’t he die in the 80’s? Broome tagged this phenomenon as The Mandela Effect describing it as when a person has a clear memory of a certain event and others remember it that way as well, but the memory turns out to be incorrect (Aamodt). There are many theories about why this has happened and continues to happen to this day. Some people believe that the Earth was pulled into a parallel or alternate universe. Others believe that it is caused by confabulation. Many believe that it is because of suggested or false memories. Broome’s idea of what happened to her and others was the idea that they were pulled into …show more content…
Broome and others, after being put back into this reality, would be experiencing life here while still retaining the memories that happened there (the parallel universe), this is called residue (Capital) (BE11). The alternate realities are intrusions into this reality by events that actually happened in the parallel universe (Oswald). It may seem a little odd, but there is science backing this theory up. Erwin Schrodinger found that subatomic particles “when not observed, diffract like waves, only to behave like particles when a measurement is made”. This supports the theory that something could exist in two places at once. Schrodinger also created an experiment that he called “Schrodinger’s Cat”. In this experiment, Erwin placed a cat in a steel box that was shut along with an atom to decay and release a hammer that would break a vile of poison that would kill the cat. Until the box was opened the cat was observed to be dead, but the cat is considered to be both dead and alive (Aamodt, Frolich, Jones, Fehlhaber). Because of the unknown: Whether the atom is decayed yet or whether the hammer has broken the vial yet. Until the box is opened the cat is considered dead and alive. Thus, an item could be considered both here and there
There are many more examples of the Mandela effect those are just a few. All of these examples are so crazy. The only way that this could be explained is that there is a parallel universe to the one that we live in and they can interact with each other, but there still are some people that don’t believe in the Mandela Effect, and claim that it is just a misattribution of memory, and that right there is the Mandela

A parallel universe is said to be identical to ours. In 1954, a young Princeton University doctoral applicant named Hugh Everett III concocted a radical thought: That there exist parallel universes, precisely like our universe. That theory today is a connection to the conspiracy called the Mandela effect. The Mandela effect is a compelling, staggering, and mind-blowing psychological phenomenon that leads to the theory of a parallel universe. The Mandela effect is ironically named after Nelson Mandela, whose death was widely misremembered. Although many facts have surfaced to support the parallel theory and that the Mandela effect is a direct link to a multi-universe, there are also facts that falsify this
Mandela is using the built up passion and anger from years of oppression to instill a resolve in the ANC members and others who are fighting for equality in South Africa.
Nelson Mandela was a leader who was able to make change occur by having self-discipline and an aim for achievement. Not only did he want change so he could live a better life, but he also wanted change for his people. His desire for change and to help others is an example of his personality. Therefore, Mandela’s personality is a perfect example of the conscientiousness factor of the psychological perspective of the Big Five Personality Dimensions developed by Paul Costa and Robert McCrae.
Nelson Mandela in his book, Long Walk to Freedom argues through the first five parts that a black individual must deal, coop, and grow through a society that is hindering their lives' with apartheid and suppression of their rightful land. Rolihlanla Mphakanyiswa or clan name, Madiba was born on July 18, 1918 in a simple village of Mvezo, which was not accustomed to the happenings of South Africa as a whole. His father was an respected man who led a good life, but lost it because of a dispute with the magistrate. While, his mother was a hard-working woman full of daily choirs. His childhood was full of playing games with fellow children and having fun. In school, Mandela was given his English name of Nelson. After his father's death, he moved to love with a regent, who was a well-off individual and owed Nelson's father for a previous favor. The next several years were full of schooling for Nelson. These schools opened Nelson's eyes to many things, which we will discuss later. He and the regent's son, Justice decided to travel to Johannesburg and see what work they could find. They left on their journey without the regent's permission, but eventually escaped his power and settled down in the town. In Johannesburg, Nelson settled down in a law firm as an assistant and went to University of South Africa and Witwatersrand University to further his law education. Witswatersrand University brought many new ideas to Nelson and awakened a spirit inside of him.
Nelson Mandela taught us that the humanity all of us share can help us transcend the sins some of us commit. There is no better example of the transformative power of tolerance and reconciliation than Nelson Mandela and his inspiring work in overthrowing the apartheid government in South Africa. He understood the power of words to change minds and the power of peaceful deeds to open hearts. His life reminds us that justice and tolerance can overcome even the greatest cruelty. Nelson Mandela faced one of the greatest evils of our time.
Since 2010, the world has been celebrating Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela every July 18th, the day known as Nelson Mandela Day. With all of the police brutality that has been publicized lately, in addition to Donald Trump’s current presidency mandate (which shows how racism and violence is still present in developed countries), it is important to have be reminded by inspiring figures such as Mandela how important it is to fight for peace and equality. Accordingly, Nelson Mandela’s courage brought justice to his country and greatly improved South Africa overall.
Born on July 18, 1918, Nelson Mandela grew up like many other children in his tribe. He was born in Mvezo, South Africa and had no shoes till he was sixteen. “On the first day of classes I sported my new boots. I had never worn boots before of any kind” (“Nelson Mandela”). When Mandela wore his new boots to class, his class mates were amused because of the way he walked in them. A few students actually stood up and embarrassed him in the presence of the class. “The country boy is not used to wearing shoes” (“Nelson Mandela”). Although he was embarrassed, he moved on, lived his life and went to Fort Hare University, but because of tradition his Chief stopped his studies and prepared an arranged marriage. Mandela was not interested in the girl his chief chose, so he decided to avoid the marriage. “But he was no Democrat and did not think worthwhile to consult me about a wife. He selected a girl, fat and dignified” (“Nelson Mandela”).
It has happened to me and it has probably happened to you. It is sudden and quick, leaving you as unexpectedly as it came. While the experience is clear and detailed it is often difficult to recapture. After feeling it, you usually find yourself saying, " Wow, I just had the strangest deja-vu." Through research I have become knowledgeable of interesting facts and causes behind deja vu. Because it is still a puzzling ongoing phenomenon, I hope to give you (my audience) a better understanding of the deja-vu experience. In the next few minutes, we will take a closer look at different facts of deja vu and 3 probable causes of this strange feeling: the brains memory, the influence of DNA, and the possibility of Reincarnation.
In 1994, Nelson Mandela was elected to the highest office of the land. Faced with issues like an economic crisis and racial tensions, Mandela inherited a difficult set of problems. While Mandela’s new position had allocated legitimate power, “influence that is created through a title or status”, due to the severity of the issues, Mandela needed new means of acquiring power, “the ability to influence how others behave,” to garnish unified support throughout the country (P. 329). Mandela understood that to achieve this he would have to adopt various techniques to provide leadership, “a process of influence aimed at directing behavior toward the accomplishment of objectives” (P.326).
1. The movie “Invictus” shows great examples of the trait leadership theory that Mandela portrayed as the President of South Africa. Mandela was able to influence the people of South Africa through his traits of being an extravert leader and having great integrity. According to the text, extraverts are sociable, assertive, and energetic people. Mandela displayed traits of an extravert leader. Whenever he would greet people he always had a genuine smile and good intentions towards everyone he met. Even the people who worked for him, especially his security, were expected and required to always have a smile to portray a welcoming atmosphere. Mandela was a very sociable person, he made sure to go to all the rugby tournaments and had a very magnetic personality that he portrayed to everyone he spoke with. At every rugby tournament Mandela went to shake the players’ hands, wished them good luck, and went into the stands to greet fans that attended the game. Mandela also led his country with great integrity. The text describes integrity as the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. Mandela had strong believes and values which is one reason why he won the Presidency election of South Africa. Through his strong integrity he was able to unite his country. There were many hardships along the way of people not agreeing with his views or values, but that did not stop him from leading his people. Mandela even lost his family because unfortunately they did not agree with his belief or accepted what he was trying to accomplish. This shows that no matter who disagreed with Mandela’s viewpoint he did not let it affect who he was or the integrity of his goal to benefit the country of South Africa.
There are many types of people in the world. Some of them are negative and some are positive. Negative people seem to have an endless impact on the people they influence. Negative people plant their venom in the lives of families, friends, communities, countries, and sometimes, even the world, which can make healing difficult and almost impossible because, in many cases, negativity breeds more negativity. However, all people are not negative people, and many people take time to build up others who are less fortunate than they are but who deserve the same opportunities they have. Nelson Mandela is one of these positive people. Mandela contributed to ending
Living and experiencing segregation in a community, being humiliated and treated as an infectious disease that will contaminate its surroundings and eventually the whole world. Being mistreated only for physical appearance, but never seen for their truly personality and characteristic. This is exactly what Ralihlahla Mandela ( know most as Nelson Mandela), had to face and encounter for almost all of his life. Nelson Mandela’s appearance as a heroic icon came from social and political conflicts that involucrated the discrimination and inequality towards black Africans. His specific actions and contributions made him a character with leadership, which then opponents and his community recognize him as a truly human being and became his famous
