evaluate the impact on society with respect to social inequality.Anti-apartheid movementSocial inequality refers to differences in which restrictions affect an individual's social position, such as resources or goods that they are in high demand in society (Hoffman, 2008). Thus “apartheid refers to a policy or practice of separation or segregation of groups” (Online, A voice, no date). This essay will focus on the positive aspects of the South African BCM “Black Consciousness Movement” trend that evolved alongside the African National Congress (ANC) and its establishment. It will continue by presenting information provided by sociologists such as Marxists, who opposed capitalism because the ruling class thrives by exploiting other classes. It will also explore the BCM which, formed in 1967, was the power figure of all organizations that contributed to the black consciousness viewpoint. It will also critically examine white racism, capitalist exploitation, and the roots of psychological slavery that had enslaved blacks during years of oppression. The aim of this essay is to outline the history of South Africa and also evaluate the functionalist explanation of social inequality, for example the reference to conflict, consensus and interactionist approaches. He will continue to consider the proposition of white racism and the opposite of black cohesion that would emerge a civilized country without concerns of race or color. South Africa has always had youth leaders with a similar ideology in transforming the country into a non-racial and multicultural community. In addition to that, people like Nelson Mandela of the “African National Congress” (ANC), Steve Biko of the “Black Consciousness Movement”, play an important role in the transfer… from the center of the paper… to white minority rule. It also adds an important dimension to understanding the thought process involved and basic to other movements. The evidence suggests that what the BCM was creating was a new and different kind of society based on equality and flexible production rather than oppression. So, the story was based on the oppression that followed the bourgeoisie and not by the proletariat. However, sociologists have tried to examine how society works. Then they also recognized important factors that led to serious problems that created inequality between the working class and the ruling class in the capitalist system. That said, South Africa was returned to the Commonwealth and apartheid remains a story and, of course, the BCM movement developed a radical ideology capable of inspiring apartheid's cultural and political hegemony..
