Which of the following statements about south africa during apartheid is most accurate?
a. the majority of south africa's population was white, and non-whites were legally discriminated against.
b. whites held all positions of power in south africa, even though they were a minority in the population.
c. all races had the right to vote in south africa, but white citizens tended to win elections.
d. although some discrimination existed, non-whites participated in all aspects of society.

Choice B will be the correct answer because during  Apartheid  in South Africa, whites who were the minority, held all positions of power in the country. Apartheid was principally a political and social system applied by the white minority ruling in South Africa, to keep the population separated.  In other words, racial segregation in which the people were divided by race and forced to live apart from each other.

The law or system was designed to deny the the black majority in the country access to most areas were whites were living and working. A special permit was required for blacks to be in these areas. Whites strongly enforced these laws, and did not allow any blacks to have any position of power within the white ruling party and the country.

Fortunately, Apartheid was abolished in 1994, by the approval of a new constitution which eliminated the established segregation system. Frederick Willem de Klerk was the last president under this system and credited with ending Apartheid in South Africa. After, Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa, and thanks to the efforts of both men in ending Apartheid, they received the Nobel  Peace Prize.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
