Interdependence and cooperation are generally what is needed when a war of some sort breaks out. I am going to explore whether there was any signs of these in the Korean War and the Rwandan genocide, and to what extent these took place. The Korean War is an example of interdependence because of the alliances formed between certain countries and organisations. Korea is divided up at the 38th parallel which for North Korea seemingly wasn’t enough land. They wanted to make it a wholly communist

he fought for himself and had no one. So when Esther came along he naturally did not trust her but it took faith to branch out and connect, and after he did he became reunited with his uncle. Another example of faith is in the article “Rwandan Genocide Survivor…” by Bob Simon. A woman by the name of Immaculee hid out in a tiny bathroom for three months with six other women. Reading the paper chills to the bone about her experience and the fear she had of being found. When Bob asks Immaculee how

War in the Religions Religion divides people into separate groups and tells them that they are incompatible with each other. It provides justification for the killing of others and the promise of reward for martyrs. It justifies hate and murder. Religions are responsible for numerous conflicts and violence. Along with nationalism religion is the major cause of war. Even many wars that were not directly caused by religion, they were used to justify it and motivate soldiers. For example, the fact

Rwanda as a genocide, rather than a tribal war. Gourevitch develops his message exceptionally with the use of pathos, prominently. Gourevitch typically incorporates his pathos with stories from other people. The stories that Gourevitch included in his memoir are essentially the diaries of the victims of the Rwandan Genocide who are not able to allow their voices to be heard because most likely, a Hutu extremist might come and kill them. These stories give the reader knowledge of how the genocide was like

alone, escaping a war and a genocide, learning a new language and having nowhere to stay. Many immigrants from Burundi or other countries can relate to Deo’s story in a book called Strength In What Remains by Tracy Kidder. These book is a nonfiction story about a third year medical student, Deo, twenty four years old immigrating to New York City with a business visa card in the United States Of America with no family, no place where to stay, running away from the genocide, only speaking French and

It takes a village to rise a child, it takes a politician to kill that child. The genocide in Rwanda was a result of European Imperialism, those who studied abroad in Europe brought back the ideals of an empire. These were the same ideals that lead to many genocides in European countries, including of course the Holocaust. As Hatzfeld stated, " Learning is necessary to enlighten us about the world. But it does not make man better, it makes him more efficient. " As you told us in class the Europeans

Holocaust (the jews involved), and Richard Nixon. One of the most well known genocides in history would be the Rwandan Genocide (the Hutu’s and the Tutsi’s). The Rwandan Genocide caused fear to shape the identities of those around it because of violence, it caused the Tutsi’s to flea, and jealousy between the Hutu’s and the Tutsi’s. Violence was a big part of fear shaping people’s identity in Rwanda. The Rwandan Genocide was mostly the ethnic group (Hutu’s) murdering and causing violence to the

The consequences of the atrocities on neighbouring states is a significant, yet often ignored, aspect of the post-genocide recovery. In the days following the end of the Genocide, two million refugees fled Rwanda into neighbouring countries, which is believed to be the fastest migration in history. As a result, refugee camps formed in neighbouring countries, the most notable of which were those in Zaire (present day DRC). The nature of Operation Turquoise meant that the Hutu Elite were able to

for being part of a very cruel world. A world where people love the blood of innocents more than milk. A world where nobody seems to care. I cry for the lives of the innocent people that were slaughtered like animals (AFRICAW, 2016).” Plagued by genocide, poverty and health issues, the only hope for Rwanda is for a united stand of its people demanding education and their fundamental rights

The Rwandan genocide seems to be the forgotten civil war that the world does not talk about. The conflict between the Tutsis and Hutus dates back centuries and has escalated until it reached a boiling point in 1994 when the hundred-day genocide was planned and executed by the Hutus onto the Tutsis. It was an utter disregard for human right by the world when no one responded to this atrocity and even abandon and proposals to assist. On December 10th, 1945 the United Nations (UN) approved the Universal
