I think I'm going to write about the genocide in Darfur for my paper. Although it is an extremely well known issue, the thought of a country splitting in two with one group simply massacring the other is simply mind-boggling. Can neighbors really turn upon neighbors? Children be taught to accept killing? For many of us, we simply can't understand this but it is happening in our world currently. Why isn't anything being done simply to stop it? Do we not have the capability to stop such an act? Why not? Is it not worth it? We look back on the Holocaust and wonder how the world could have allowed such an act to be committed; why aren't we changing that fact today? Specifically in Africa, why have these genocides occurred? What can we do to alleviate the issue, prevent these atrocities from being committed in the first place?
And as with my other research paper, this topic may change. But hopefully it'll be interesting and not a quagmire to research!
