Warm up (Barack Obama) + New Sequence = South Africa

Hey,

today we first commented on a report from the website Reuters. You can watch it again here:

Here is what we said about it:

The document is a report by the news agency "Reuters". It deals with the failed terrorist attack in Time Square, NY.
Barack Obama is both reassuring and threatening. He says that he will protect the American people but that he will punish the terrorists during a trial.

Then we started our new sequence entitled "South Africa" and we commented on the picture below:

Here is what we said about it:

South Africa:

The flags of countries always have a symbols / meanings.
For instance, the French flag was adopted after the French Revolution. It symbolizes freedom. The colour of Paris (red/blue) encircle the colour of royalty (white). It means that people have the power and not the king / people have the power over the king.

South African Flag:

The flag symbolizes the natural ressources of the country:
-> yellow = gold
-> blue = fish
-> green = trees

The red colour stands for blood and the troubles.
Indeed, before, South Africa was colonized. The blacks and whites were separated / divided during Apartheid.
The "Y" stands for the unity of the people after Apartheid.

MANY OF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TO TURN IN THEIR DIALOGUES TODAY... TOO BAD...
