Serial Killers: The Darfur Genocide

600 Words3 Pages

Death. Such a small word has the power to send chills up the back of someone’s spine. This word is actually much bigger than it seems to be. It has the capability to change lives, for better or for worse. So, how is it that if the word can haunt people, that people are even able to kill? The minds of murderers and criminals are inhumane in a way like no other. With minds like these, it is close to impossible to have an order or system at all. Mankind is able to commit atrocities and killings by being being mentally ill, having no social order, and oppressing specific groups. The minds of criminals have been proved to have psychological disorders affecting their minds and bodies. It has been shown that genocide leaders like Adolf Hitler have …show more content…

The Darfur genocide began in February 2003, and is still continuing today. Darfuri rebel groups, such as the SLM and JLM, are attacking the Sudanese and their government. They are “burning villages, looting economic resources, polluting water sources, murdering, raping, and torturing civilians” (Darfur Genocide). This violence all began between the groups fighting over oppression. After the government was accused of maltreatment, they fought back by doing an “ethnic cleansing” of Darfur’s non-arabs. The only pro of this was proving that there actually was persecution going on through the government in the Sudan. These oppressions and persecutions going on are just adding more fuel to the fire. Humanity is capable of carrying out these cruelties by genocide leaders being mentally ill, having no social order, and specific groups being oppressed. Hitler’s psychological disorders worsened the violence of the Holocaust. Rwanda being without a leader led the country to absolute madness. The Sudanese government persecuted their people and expected all of their problems to be solved. These examples show that these criminals are inhumane and have the power to kill. They are untouched by death. Untouched by the action, the idea, and the

  • Mass Killings: The Bosnian Genocide

    The Bosnian genocide was a series of mass killings of the Bosnian Muslims between 1992 and 1995. The genocide was committed by the Serbians, who saw it fit to rid Bosnia and Herzegovina of the Muslim culture. It was one of the bloodiest and gory periods in Bosnians history, and will forever be etched into the memory of the survivors, who had to witness the violence and traumatizing actions taken by the Serbs. Future genocides like the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be prevented as long as the United Nations is doing their part and checking in on the current leaders, and if law enforcement in that country has the right to severely punish any acts of racially-based violence, in order to make an example of the person committing those acts, to discourage others from following.

  • Negative Effects Of Globalization: The Rwanda Genocide

    848 Words  | 4 Pages

    Globalization is a massive thing that affects every person on the planet in one way or another. This source raises the argument that globalization is a disease that harms people in more ways then it helps and needs to be stopped before it wipes out the human race. This raises a good point is some ways because globalization does harm humans in many way such as losing jobs due to outsourcing and the people who get the outsourced jobs are put into horrible working conditions and underpaid without benefits. But it also helps in some ways with trade and communication strengthening the relations of countries. I do agree with the source that globalization harms many people but not quite to the extent that the author goes to, I think that

  • Civil War In Liberia

    The depiction of refugee camps, the crying babies, the hunger, the food shortage, the massive number of amputees and their quest for an immediate emancipation from a senseless war perpetrated by nothing but greed and love for power was heart breaking. The documentary further made it positive that in the midst of uncertainty, religious discrimination and differences is nothing to worry about especially when interfaith gathering begins and Liberians where ready to let go off their religious differences and all looking up to a more perfect nation that spares no Muslim or Christian as one of the lady mentioned on the documentary that “when the bullet is fired, it does not search for the direction of a Christian or a Muslim but an innocent Liberian.” Some of those quotations put hearts together and sent a signal that Liberians can only come together and be opposed to the bloody war that was going on without compromising their dedication to their various faith. The same spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood boiled by common cry for peace, love and end to the war galvanized the entire religious people into one group and was determine to occupied streets in order to be
