Apartheid, Africans
In the history of humanity, has been witnessed by many the exploitation of man by man, for several reasons: political ideology, religious and economic. South Africa lived many years in this system of economic exploitation, emphasizing a difference to other regions dominated, there was this exploration based on legal documents.
Blacks and mestizos, and lost all its territory could offer economically, but still had to live at predetermined locations, work in specific locations, not defy the laws, at the risk of being arrested, beaten and even killed. The right to claim all this did not exist, since it was legalized.

[...] The more consumerist society becomes, but the disadvantaged became excluded from the system, the world increasingly moving towards a division between rich and poor. Economic analysts believe that technology does not involve anything but the automation, ie only cause unemployment, but never an excess of production that could not be accessed by all (LOPES, 1990). The more we advanced in production, more unequal was the world, and those responsible for this technology not caring just leaving aside so many inequalities and only thought about their welfare.

[...] Defining apartheid Separation comes from ancient times Contrary to what you think, apartheid and all its consequences did not originate in Africa, apartheid means separation and exclusion and that the world has seen many centuries before the arrival of the Dutch and English in the old continent (Buarque, 1996).
