The Ambassador Facial Expression
"Please do not leave us here," a woman pleaded to a United Nations representative, She then went on saying, "No, you don't understand. If you leave us here, we will die. You must promise.” the Ambassador facial expression changed, and responded with, “We will not leave you”
The plea from this woman was a voice for all of the innocent men, women and children. East Timor has been through so much, and finally people are recognizing these events. To have people finally listen to your cries and then leave you in the dark is heartless. Too many lives were lost before something was done.

    Ground Zero Summary

    Overall, my reaction to the essay was disturbed. I could picture the fear in those victims’ eyes and their terrible cries for help. I could see the unbearable senses of despair ripple through their hearts like an ocean wave. I could imagine the pain of those families who have to go day by day without the sight of their love ones ever again. It’s heartbreaking to even recall such tragedy knowing how many lives have been ripped away from the Earth in just a matter of seconds. Suzanne Berne’s descriptiveness throughout the essay really conveys how realistic and treacherous the events were. Her points were very valid therefore I agree, because just like her I feel that evidence doesn’t have to remain in order to imagine the events that…

    The late Iris Chang hoped that her work “THE RAPE OF NANKING” would lead to an official Japanese apology for the atrocities Japanese troops committed in Nanking in 1937. Chang’s well-intentioned attempt to secure a Japanese apology for the Nanking atrocities is meaningless because many of the perpetrators and victims are now dead. Thus, a Japanese apology would be an empty gesture that has no meaning. "We will probably never know exactly what news Hirohito received about Nanking as the massacre was happening," she writes, " but the record suggests that he was exceptionally pleased by it" (p. 179).…

    Although he faces life, Sonia can’t bear to understand until this day is that 38 neighbors all confessed about the incident occurring all witnessing and hearing the attack that lasted up to 30 minutes, but the fact that they did nothing to stop Mosley. Instead they just let the young women die and Sonia didn’t understand how it happens with so many eyes. When they have aphetic to society even though they were all a community and are supposed to be family looking out for one another. If you observer an act of this sort you should be willing to interfere to save a life. They had the chance to save a young women’s life during her suffering with 38 neighbors watching and hearing, but yet no one acted. This signifies how she implies how as a community you should be united as one to help out in times like these. This also makes me think that it was probably why she chose the career she did because she has…

    Human Rights Dbq Analysis

    Human rights—inalienable privileges bestowed upon all people that are seemingly ignored by many. Genocide tests the limits of people’s ability to respect these rights, as groups like the UN (United Nations) must act upon the atrocities. Incidences like Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Nuremburg Trials demonstrated not only the utter disregard for human rights, but also how people react to these acts. Despite these blatant wrong-doings, human rights groups, such as the UN and the Amnesty International, remained unrequited with supporting the countries in need. However, some justice was brought about, for people also intensely reacted in support. Going to show that people either reacted harshly to those who…

    When a person first reads the famous quote “We must always take side. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Spoken by the notable Elie Wiesel while accepting the Nobel Peace Prize of 1986, it could cause a reaction; in this case any reaction could occur depending on a person’s morals, ethics and even values. But, what does this quote really mean?…

    To other people hill’s action was stupid and meaningless, because she fought for something that don’t move or feel. However, it must have got them thinking; why did she feel so strongly about this issue? On the opposite side, there are a lot of people that felt hill’s action was heroic and inspiring. Due to this action, I believe that there are a lot of people who are motivated to fight for what they feel strongly about. When I watched the documentary, which is known as “Butterfly,” I thought about her point of view of life and I believe that she is right, there is a lot more in our lives than saving money or thinking what to do for the weekend. Julia also did a big favor to a lot of environmentalists out there, because she showed other people…
