COMMUNITY BUZZ
By Denisia Adams

Good day to you. Today on our show we focused on keeping the Cape in touch and in tuned with their Community development, hence the name Community Buzz. Check out some of the features we had on the show:

WORD(s) OF THE DAY
Expatriate
(1)To banish (a person) from his or her native country.
(2)To withdraw (oneself) from residence in one's native country



S.A TRIVIA QUESTION
Where is South Africa’s Heritage spot Freedom Park situated?
A – Pretoria B – Cape Town C – Limpopo
Answer: A – Pretoria

here’s some info:
As the country celebrates Heritage Month, South Africans have an opportunity to reflect on the country's collective heritage by visiting Freedom Park in Pretoria, a remarkable monument that tells the tale of South Africa's diverse heritage in a visual and interactive way.
Founded on the values of human dignity, rights and freedom, the park is a reflection of the sacrificial achievements the nation has made and tells the story of South Africa’s reconciliation process and the advancement of human rights entrenched in the Constitution.


DID YOU KNOW
People who chase after rare birds are called twitchers. The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Also did you know: Ducks are never male. The males of the species are called drakes

TIP OF THE DAY
Are You Obsessed With Revenge?
Many of us love good revenge stories--tales in which victims ultimately become victors by wielding vengeance on all who've wronged them. But in real life, retribution isn't always all it's cracked up to be. In fact, according to experts, letting go of revenge fantasies may be one of the best things you can do for your health.


Learn to Forgive and Be Healthy
In a University study, researchers asked students to describe experiences in which they felt betrayed. As the students described their experiences, the researchers monitored their blood pressure, heart rate, forehead muscle tension, and skin-conductance responses.
Those who were "high forgivers"--who easily forgave those who hurt them--had lower resting blood pressure and saw smaller increases in blood pressure than those who held a grudge. The high forgivers were also more positive and empathic than their revenge-obsessed counterparts.


Giving Up the Grudge
Revenge is not justice.
Remember, seeking revenge on another person is not the same as getting justice. Revenge is an emotional response, a type of retaliation. Justice, by definition, is an impartial punishment, usually given out by an uninvolved third party. If someone has truly caused you personal harm and you believe they deserve to be punished, speak to the proper authorities.

Put yourself in their shoes. Studies about forgiveness conducted found that people who were able to identify with their offenders and were able to see themselves as capable of committing a similar offense were less likely to seek revenge on the other person. Next time you're feeling vengeful, try to put yourself in their position first.


WE ALSO FEATURED:
An interview with an organisation called Career Story. Career Story specialises in career counselling. Contact Number is +27 21 674 7098

Lastly we played an interview done with the Foster Loving Care Club who provide neglected kids with Foster Parents.

We were born to unite with our fellow men, and to join in community with the human race.
