The document discusses violent protest movements in Colombia, focusing on the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and ELN (National Liberation Army). It provides background on the civil conflict in Colombia that has left over 200,000 dead and 5.7 million displaced in the last 50 years. The FARC and ELN were founded in the 1960s as communist guerilla groups fighting against the government and right-wing paramilitary groups. They oppose US influence, privatization of natural resources, and right-wing violence, and claim to represent rural poor Colombians. Questions are raised about whether the FARC are legitimate protesters or delinquent insurgents, and how a government might solve such a problem.

Abraham Lincoln has the reputation of being the key person in ending slavery in our country. Yet it appears that Lincoln held racist beliefs, as indicated in the following ex-cerpt from a speech he delivered in 1858:I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurorsde of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter-marry with white people . . . and in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
234Understanding Human Behavior and the Social EnvironmentSuch a statement needs to be viewed in its historical context. Our country was more racist years ago than it is today. Lincoln, who was in the vanguard of moving for greater equality for African Americans, was also socialized by his culture to have racist attitudes. (The impact of culture on individuals was discussed in Chapter 1.)A PerspectiveNearly every time we turn on the evening news, we see ethnic and racial conflict—riots, beatings, murders, and civil wars. In recent years we have seen clashes resulting in bloody shed in areas ranging from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Syria to Israel, and from the United States to South America. Practically every nation with more than one ethnic group has had to deal with ethnic conflict. The oppression and exploitation of one ethnic group by another is particularly ironic in democratic nations, considering these societies claim to cherish freedom, equality, and justice.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

8. Brief History
- The FARC and ELN were founded in the 1960s, in the
wake of more than a decade of violence in Colombia.
Known as La Violencia (1948-58)
- Excluded from a power sharing agreement that ended the
fighting, communist guerillas took up arms against the
government.
- FARC was composed of communist militants and peasant
self-defense groups.
- ELN’s ranks were dominated by students, Catholic
radicals, and left-wing intellectuals.
9. Cont…
- Right-wing paramilitary groups formed in the late 1960s
after the Colombian congress passed legislation that
allowed citizens to form local self-defense organisations.
The largest paramilitary group, the United Self-Defense
Forces of Colombia, was on the US State Department’s list of
foreign terrorist organisations until July 2014 - formally
disbanded in 2006, but splinter groups remain.

12. Differentiating FARC and ELN
Some commentators argue that the ELN is more ideological than FARC: Broadly
similar programmes.
- Both oppose US influence in Colombia , the privatization of natural resources,
and rightist violence, and claim to represent the rural poor against Colombia’s
wealthy.
- The FARC is primarily a rural organisation while the ELN’s supporters tend to
be in urban areas. In some parts of the country they cooperate; in others they
have clashed directly.
- Both are designated by US State Department as foreign terrorist
organisations.
