Camp 22

There are many reasons that cause people do bad things: many people do not want to draw attention to themselves, often it is easier to follow the crowd, and sometimes people find themselves caught in a tradition. Citizens accept and support racist beliefs and treatment of others because everyone else does.

There have been many horrific atrocities committed against people since the dawn of civilization. One of these evils happened during World War II when the Nazis were convinced they were the most superior race on the planet. They believed that Jewish people were a “lesser” race compared to them, thus giving them a distorted justification to commit heinous acts again them; the Nazis truly believed the Jews should be annihilated. More commonly known, the Nazis lawfully required people of Jewish descent to “register”, which meant that they had to wear a gold star so everyone in Germany knew they were Jewish, yet they were still allowed to live in their homes. After some time, the Nazis began forcing the Jews to live in concentration camps, which are extremely crowded areas with very inadequate facilities, and they were fed very little, if at all.

In class lately we have been talking about the holocaust. I think that people treat others badly because they don’t look like they do and have different religions. One example of this is from the experiment we studied in class called Brown Eyes versus Blue Eyes. In that video it was giving one part of the class more power than the other part so it made the kids feel like they were better. From the Diary of Anne Frank the Germans were treating the Jews like they were less important. When the Germans came in most the Jews were taken right away, but in the story of Anne Frank, her family hide from the green police and some other they're friends stayed with them.

Any type of discrimination can lead to a series of unwanted events. A mature society is often considered a society in which people are accepting of the differences between them and others. In the Holocaust, the Nazi party was clearly not a mature party. They were ignorant and were not capable of accepting that not everyone had to believe in what they thought was correct. We now know and have learned that treating others unfairly can go farther than words. By teaching and showing others the consequences of the discrimination of Jews, we are providing them with an example in which this lesson was taught. We live in a world where racial and religious equality has become the norm, yet, we must remain active participants and let everyone be aware of why it was wrong dominate a group of people with “irregular”

Kwan recognised he used humour to disguise his fear, reminding him that not everyone in Camp 22 was as brave as him or as extreme as Jimmy. Although they were all treated like pieces of meat to experiment on, they were still people, still individuals that reacted differently to situations. They all dealt with this torture with their own coping mechanisms to survive.

Many painful examples of disregard for human life can be seen across all instances of war, although perhaps most notably in the horrors the Jewish people, among others, faced in the Holocaust of World War II at the hands of Hitler and the Nazi Party. The Holocaust, long viewed

Racism is generally caused by fear and/or ignorance. Fear comes into play when another person (People in this case) feels threatened by another through various things like territory or jobs, into which they feel unworthy and do wrong against that person/race to secure theirs and to feel better. So then other cases of which some people feel their race/person is superior so they do wrong against that person/people just cause they feel superior and make them feel better about them selves not caring and intentionally hurting that

Firstly, individuals are racists against each other. People have stereotyped against each other from the very early civilization until the present day. They discriminate against looks, race, beliefs, actions and may even do it because a group of people they associate with are doing it. The reasons why people discriminate against each other are infinite; insecurity, misinformation, upbringing and lack of empathy are just a few reasons. Doris Lessing advises, “People…may agree that the hardest thing in the

Another method both Kim Il Sung and Kim Jung Il utilized terror was through slave labor camps, also known as Kwan-li-sos or Kyo-hwa-sos. Kwan-li-sos were forced-labour camps for political prisoners and kyo-hwa-sos were mostly for those serving out sentences as common criminals. However, in either camp, there was usually no release. (Rikflin, The Gulag behind the Goose-steps) The major camps are spread around the nation but far way from Pyongyang, like kwan-li-so 22 at Heoryong, in extreme northeastern North Korea and kyo-hwa-so 12 in Chongo-ri, 10 to 20 kilometers south of Hoeryong. (Joshua and Bielefeld, North Korea’s Largest Concentration Camps) Any person suspected of disloyalty to the “suryong”, one convicted of a common crime, or political offenders were all punished with an imprisonment in one of the 12 slave labor camps. By 2012, it was thought to be about 200,000

Racism is a factor in breaking down a community, and cause suffering. Many individuals don’t realize that Racism brings them no good, it has nothing to offer. Feeling superior over another culture and having more power only lowers humanity. Racist attitudes can come from people due to their upbringing. Our family members and friends have a big influence over our ideas, and views. However, we need to take in mind and distinguish the difference between a positive and negative view. Negative views, will only lead to make negative choices resulting in a negative future. Having a positive perspective will lead us towards a positive direction, bringing good results and many bonds to cherish for life. Being human is not judging one as inferior, but following humanity, and treating everyone with equality.

After the liberation, many of the victims went through treatment of the diseases most perfectly and appreciably. However, the illness and the physical damages in most of the victims did not disappear, and they acted as marks and reminders of the painful experience they had gone through. Remember, during the time in the camps, no medical attention was given to the patients at any cost, and not even one doctor laid his or her hands on the corpse of the dead bodies. Therefore, according to Gangi, Talamo, and Ferracuti (687-700), In their research, they say that the conditions and the infections of the patients were not familiar with any doctor, it was not an obvious case of them thus resulting in difficulty in treating such. The patients and

As long as humans have been alive and able to communicate, there has been competition between groups. While this may have begun with competition over land and basic resources, competition between groups has developed into a complex social structure. After some time, one group comes out on top. This dominant group then has a self-validated foundation of which to build discriminatory acts. The dominant group has one or more desirable traits or resources that the minority group does not have, so this dominant group believes itself to be superior to the minority group. This structure of competition has led to hate, discrimination, and violence between groups.

Even though the times of Holocaust are relatively recent, the story of the Holocaust is not as simple as it may appear. For many people this time will be something they will never overlook, because it was a ferocious battle for survival. It was a time of challenges and disputes for the right to live, a time when Jews were killed just for being who they were, a time when a person with a “yellow star” was condemned to certain death. We should remember that a little over seventy years ago, there were six million people obliterated from this earth. The rotting, stacked corpses and the children screaming with excruciating pain when torn away from their mothers have taught us the lesson of fear and prejudice that I relevant to this day. We remember those innocent Jews who were treated cruelly just for being human beings. We owe our condolences to the people who died, got tortured in concentration camps and those who escaped and saw their loved ones dying at their feet. Finally, we should remember the Holocaust and Anne Frank's agonizing story so we recall the memories and pass them to our children.

The Holocaust is not just a historical tragedy; it is a contemporary issue. Today is not a day to sit back and relax. Genocides and mass atrocities continue to be an enormous challenge. To prevent such atrocities in the future, individuals must nurture peace and human rights now. Education about risk factors, warning signs, and triggering events that have contributed to genocide in the past is important so that all individuals can fight discrimination and hatred today.

Racism or racist remarks are one example how society perpetuates a belief that can lead to negative or criminal behavior. Expressions and beliefs not only affect others, but also those close to you. Children learn from their parents and families how to communication with others. If the communication they hear is always negative about other groups of people, the children will communicate the same messages when they are with their peers. This interaction leads to negative thoughts and judgments that cause them to say negative remarks to certain groups of people. Racism doesn’t just involve black and white anymore. It has spread to many groups that continue to share their feelings and beliefs. The
