Historical Globalization

In the period of historical globalization, a lot of horrible events had happen and many people have suffered, also lost what they had such as land, culture, languages, family, freedom, and dignity. Like the Rwanda incidents, Apartheid Law in South Africa and the incidents in Residential Schools in Canada. Although those things had happened, they still survive and right now is rebuilding and moving forward to not let it happen again with the little help of NGOs. In my opinion, Contemporary society has done enough to respond to the legacies of historical globalization. Moving forward and start making a better future is the only answer for those horrible events from repeating itself. Therefore, I can prove to you that contemporary society has done enough with these topics. In the year 1994, a horrible event had occurred, and that event is the genocide in Rwanda. This happen because the Hutus race had a grudge on the Tutsis and because of that hatred, the genocide in Rwanda had occurred. After the incident, a national group of 25 000 Rwandan women who survived in the genocide called the AVEGA Agehozo. The AVEGA is trying to improve their living condition and also for the children. Right now the AVEGA are having projects like the psychological and medical care, justice and advocacy, also economics and social operations with the help of some NGOs. In justice and advocacy, Rwandans were finding justice for the victims of the genocide. By finding justice, Gacaca courts were set up in 2002 which helps speed up the process. In economics and social operations, Rwanda has managed rebuilding their economy through coffee exports. Coffee was the important export in Rwanda up until now. Also all members of the co-operatives are both Hutus and Tutsis .Because of that Rwanda can manage to restore their economy and both Hutus and Tutsis can manage to move forward. Apartheid in South Africa is one of the

    Social, economic and political aspects of modern day society are all affected by historical globalization. Society needs to respond to legacies of the past because as humans, learning from mistakes is part of our nature. Without the ability to do that, not an single person would ever reason to move past anything and history would continually repeat itself. Recently, there have been actions taken by governments to aid in the coping of first nations who were abused within the residential school system that was implanted in Canada . The French and United States government formally apologized to the Rwandans for the 'mistakes' that they made during the genocide of 1994. There are countless people living today who carry the memories of these traumatic events very close to them. I feel as though we are responsible to answer to these people, aiding them in the recovery of their identity and ability to function properly within society.…

    Kingsley Moghalu claims the Rwandan genocide was indirectly the result of European colonialism in Africa.1 The first part of this essay will attempt to show that Moghalu is right in this claim, as the ethnic rivalry between the Hutu and Tutsi peoples began during and because of the Belgian administration between 1919 and 1962. It will also provide an outline of the events that led up to the genocide, showing how mutual distrust and aggression between Tutsis and Hutus triggered the genocide. The second part will be an analysis of the social and political conditions after the genocide, to develop an understanding of how Rwandan society has coped with what happened in 1994, and to show that the impact the genocide has had on Rwanda has been both positive and negative. The third part will analyse the judicial response from the international community and the domestic justice system to show how effective each was in achieving reconciliation and a unified Rwanda.…

    In 1994, 800,000 Rwandan people were killed in just 100 days. This makes the Rwandan genocide one of the worst genocides in history. The Rwandan people, which consist of the Twa, the Tutsi and the Hutu, all speak the same language and had been living together with only minor conflict between the groups until 1959 (“Rwanda genocide of 1994”). In 1959, tensions flared when the Hutu people attacked the Tutsi in retaliation for the Tutsi supposedly killing a Hutu leader (“Rwanda genocide of 1994”). Over the next thirty-five years, the Hutu abolished the Tutsi monarchy and rose to power (“Rwanda genocide of 1994”).…
