Reaction to Realities Past

After viewing most of the video clips, I feel so heart broken. It is so terrifying to go through these horrifying moments that the surviver's had gone through. If I was in their shoes, I know I definitley would have been scared to death. It is sad to know that many families had been broken up. I definitely know that I wouldn't have survived. I probably would've cried myself to death. I still find it hard to believe that a person could be so cruel with so much power. Why would anyone want to get rid of a whole race like that. After viewing the clips, I have imagined myself running for president and making this world a whole better place.

Is Intervention the Answer?

I believe that countries like the US should get involved with other countries that have been affected by genocide. If the US gets involved then everything would turn out ok for other countries. The US would help many people have shelters. There would be a lot more food for everyone. That is just wrong that countries are suffering from starvation and having no homes. If the US got involved then a lot of people will be helped. The people would have clothing to wear. It is wrong that countries have to suffer for the wrong reasons. For example a lot of people had suffered when Hitler was in power.Over millions of people have died. Anyway if the US joins in and help everyone else out then we are considered the better people and we would feel good for helping others.

Letter to Principal

Dear Principal of high school,
I' m writing to you in part of all those who are on my side. History books all over the world are being edited and some are even being banned from most schools. My question is why? Why is it that our history is kept a secret from us. There are many people that are against this. For those of us who would like to know everything about our history and about everything that has happened in the past, we believe that times like the Rape of Nanking and genocide acts in other places of the world like Rwanda for example, should be taught to us. Why is that we are not allowed to learn about every single thing that has happened throught history in our textbooks? I think that for all of us who live on the planet Earth should know what has happened and what is happening in the world around us, not only so we know what has happened and to be prepared just incase of a repeat but also we can make sure that we prevent it from happening again. For example let's say that one of these events from the past like the Holocoust was to occur again and we didn't know about how it occured and how it was ended , then we wouldn't know what to do. Our leaders and big people may know what has happened but since we might be next to fill their spots, we should be well informed about our history. So that we don't make the same mistakes.

Evolution Vs. Religion

Well back then John Scopes was put on trial for teaching his class about evolution. He was a biology teacher who didn't really think that it was wrong to teach his biology class about evolution. I personally think that both evolution and religion could be taught in school. Sure of course the conversations would get heated, but at least people learn something new instead of being ignorant about certain things in reality. In my opinion I would rather learn about both. Either way we are all going to learn about evolution because it revolves around science. And come to think about it, it is interesting to learn about other religions. It's interesting because maybe if you learn about other religions you can actually understand more about people, and you could make new friends. Instead of judging and creating war.This world could become a better place.
