Cambodia is a small country of Southeast Asia, less than half the size of the state of California (“World Without Genocide: Cambodian Genocide”). The Cambodian government in the mid 1970’s was unstable as Lon Nol, the Cambodian prime minister, and his forces were being stretched dealing with conflicts of Vietnamese communists, and a rising group of Cambodian communists called the Khmer Rouge Party. (Peace Pledge Union) As the government grew weaker and began to loose control, The Khmer Rouge Party overthrew the country. They began killing for their cause in 1975. The Khmer Rouge Party, under the rule of a man called Pol Pot, enforced a new way of life following values and rules similar to Maoist-Communism (“World Without Genocide: Cambodian Genocide”). The Khmer Party attempted, in simplistic terms, to nationally centralize the middle or farming class of Cambodia (“World Without Genocide: Cambodian

Cambodia holds an affluent and alluring history. Throughout this paper the writer will discuss different topics impacting Cambodia’s history, positive and negative impact of colonization, economic, political, cultural and social legacies, and to answer if western countries or colonizer are responsible to help solve some of the lasting problems of colonization.

Cambodia experienced mass death, approximately 1.7 million lives, during the Cambodian genocide of 1975 through 1979. The Khmer Rouge regime dominated the Cambodian government and attempted to purge the population of intellectuals, professionals and supporters of the original government. In an attempt to better the country’s economic standing at a horrendously rapid rate, the country instead experienced mass destruction. The purpose of this paper is to explore the various ways devastation was brought upon Cambodia and how it affected the populace. In the 1950’s the country was engulfed by the civil war north and south Vietnam was waging after gaining independence from France. The battlefield of the war overflowed into Cambodia and caused physical

Cambodia is a small country in Southeast Asia. Before the Genocide, “Cambodia was run by France until 1953”. Unfortunately the Genocide began a few years later, “The genocide was from 1975-1979”. Before the genocide, the ethnic groups weren't messed with and were the majority, “The largest ethnic minority groups in Cambodia before 1970 were the Chinese and Vietnamese populations”. Cambodia regained independence, “After years as a French protectorate, in 1953, Cambodia regained its independence with Prince Norodom Sihanouk as its ruler. But two things made Cambodia's future unstable”. Cambodia wasn’t but before anything, “First, Cambodia became independent in the midst of the Cold War, and the onset of the Vietnam

Before the Khmer, Cambodia was one of the most economically advanced countries in the world. Now the country is one of the poorest in the world, and has one of the highest death rates in the world. Food/Oil prices have greatly affected the poverty in the country. As the shortage of food/oil gets greater, the entrepreneurs have to raise their prices so they will be able to sustain their families. The less money the citizens have to pay with, the harder it is for those entrepreneurs to make money which hurts the country’s economy drastically. Also the lack of food intake from the Cambodians affects their productivity and efficiency

Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries ranked 149th in 2014 but is experiencing rapid growth (World Bank, 2015). According to World Population Review (2015), 42% of Sierra Leone’s population is under the age of 15. The Republic of Sierra Leone struggles with the burden of infectious diseases, maternal, neonatal and nutritional issues, HIV, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (World Health Organization, 2015). Sierra Leone is focusing on improving health care access and affordability of care. Since the majority of health related problems in Sierra Leone are related to access of care, sanitation, and water supply, the focus should be at the national level to improve these aspects and increase life expectancy and health life

The act of genocide is an extremity that accompanies the ever modernizing world, a reality that is increasingly discovered as the twentieth century inched toward the twenty-first. Cambodia, a country located in southeast Asia, is unlucky enough to have fallen under the terror of their own personalized war on humanity. A purpose whose plans took root in the quest for an egalitarian system, and thus purposefully began attacking its own economy. All the while destroying any constructs the Pol Pot regime felt may lead to a type of variety among the people, for there is safety in homogeneity. And so this culture suffered through extermination, whether that be in religion, music, or even in common family and friend relationships. Cambodia has been stripped of its individuality through each and every citizen for the sake of uniformity. When such a conflict as this, has finally come to an end it is undeniable that the process of rebuilding must commence. That reconstruction aimed toward all that has been destroyed: the economy, all types of infrastructure, a sense of community among the people. It is the responsibility of the country, as well as the developed outside world, to distribute aid toward this process. Far too often foreigners invade with their own objectives disguised as good will. Post-genocide Cambodia has for years received aid that was either, unable to meet it’s needs or not established long enough to make a significant or lasting difference. What is necessary is a

Cambodia, a southeastern Asian country, was under the rule of prince Norodom Sihanouk since its independence from France in 1953. Cambodians lived in prosperity, and were self-sufficient under a “Buddhist socialist” government, but this peace was interrupted by the Vietnamese war (1955-1975) in its neighbor country. Although the prince tried to keep his people unaware of the war, by 1969 the United

It should be noted that measuring the demographics of the Cambodian American community has historically been challenging; it is widely suspected that the community is repeatedly undercounted by the Census Bureau. A 1992 report of the Census Bureau identified several problems that lead an inaccurate count of this particular ethnic group (Bunte and Joesph Cenus data). They include language barriers, mistrust of strangers and the government due to the post-traumatic effects of the Khmer Rouge also known as, “Pol Pot Syndrome” and the unusual residence and household composition as significantly affected Census counts. To sum it up, the statistics are usually generalized as a whole to easily identify the migration patterns, social behaviors and economic resources of the Cambodian Americans.
