The Eurocentric influence on South African children andyouth
In South Africa, which was previously under colonial control, Eurocentric influence
played a fundamental role in shaping the way white children were raised
The socialization and disciplining of black children deferred among ethnic groups,
these groups are not on touch by Eurocentric influences Since the education system,
religious teachings and criminal justice system with which they came into contact were
largely based on Eurocentric models
History tells that sometimes ethnic groups on the move for smothers to leave the
infants behind in the bush to ensure that the weary mothers would not Jeopardise the
progress of the group
The new world that was exported from Europe to Africa via the settlers and the colonial
administrators resulted in the process of acculturation
This resulted in blacks adopting some Wesson views regarding childbearing and
punishment for misbehaviour
Formal employment, the migration of labourers, cheap labour practices and the brutal
approach of their own families and societies to any unacceptable behaviour or genetic
abnormalities had a severe impact on the black youth of SA
Another factor that significantly influence the lives of black families and the way in
which children were raised was the introduction of the apartheid system in 1948
Malpractices such as the imposition of pass laws , Force removals to so-called
homelands, the disruption of the family unit, inferior schooling, the lack of compulsory
education and the use of children as labourers left most black youths and youths of
coloured marginalized
Young people who grew up during the apartheid era are generally referred to as lost
youth of South Africa
Many young people were unable to obtain an education and prepare for an occupation,
they frequently experienced frustration and aggression, which predisposes them to be
coming involved in acts of violence and crime
Many turn to political activism and exhibited racial behaviour that landed them in
trouble with the criminal justice system
