Who Is The Most Elevated Number Of Mankind's History?

The Cambodian Genocide took place from 1975 to 1979 in the Southeastern Asian country of Cambodia. The genocide was a brutal massacre that killed 1.4 to 2.2 million people, about 21% of Cambodia’s population. This essay, will discuss the history of the Cambodian genocide, specifically, what happened, the victims and the perpetrators and the world’s response to the genocide.

In the late 70’s, nearly 2 million Cambodians died of overwork, starvation, torture, and execution in what became known as the Cambodian genocide. A group known as the Khmer Rouge took control of the country in April 1975. Over the course of

N THE AUTUMN OF 1971 a man used to come to our house, bearing confections in his pocket and hopes of ascertaining the life or death of his family. His name was Mr. Pirzada, and he came from Dacca, now the capital of Bangladesh, but then a part of Pakistan. That year Pakistan was engaged in civil war. The eastern frontier, where Dacca was located, was fighting for autonomy from the ruling regime in the west. In March, Dacca had been invaded, torched and shelled by the Pakistani army. Teachers were dragged onto streets and shot, women dragged into barracks and raped. By the end of the summer, three hundred thousand people were said to have died. In Dacca Mr.

My argument is backed mainly by the responsive essays of Dith Pran and Cardinal Franz König. In Pran’s essay, he relates to his own experiences in the Cambodian killing fields. He

6 million exterminated. That number rolls off of our tongues as we sit and learn history in the 6th grade, or we write a paper on WW1. How about 800,000 murdered in 100 days, while Americans attempted to keep our troops of the conflict yet watched the bloody images daily on CNN. Genocide in our world is something that is impossible to justify or embrace, but we must attempt to understand it. It is only through this understanding will we be able to prevent or stop one of the most horrific acts man can do in the future. Genocide, in both the Holocaust and in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, is grounded in self-reification and the external reification of others. This then, when put into certain contexts, can manifest itself in a

The Cambodian Genocide eliminated up to 1.5 to 3 million

Ms Pillay said: "Given there has been no let-up in the conflict since the end of November, we can assume that more than 60,000 people have been killed by the beginning of 2013.

In the town of My Lai on March 16, 1968 was not a day you would be wanting to visit. U.S troops were ordered to conduct a massacre killing 500 plus innocent old men, women, and children.

Imagined being brutally ripped from your family and never seeing them again, being ran out of your home, and never knowing what will happen next. In 1975, Cambodia hit all 8 stages of a genocide, being one of the deadliest genocides.The genocide began after The genocide first began after the Cambodian war with the Khmer Rouge taking over Phnom Phen with the help of U.S bombings. About 2 million people died during the genocide because of Khmer Rouge.

In “Why 2017 was the Best Year in Human History” Nicholas Kristof argues that, despite anything negative that happened, 2017 was the best year for humans as a species. More specifically, Kristof argues that it is better to live in 2017 than any other time period in history. He writes “A smaller share of the world’s people were hungry, impoverished or illiterate than at any time before. A smaller proportion of children died than ever before. The proportion disfigured by leprosy, blinded by diseases like trachoma or suffering from other ailments also fell.” Kristof is suggesting that 2017 was a year of increase for the human species. In conclusion, Kristof’s belief is that 2017 was a exceptionally great year.

The day that the survivors of the Cambodian Genocide will never forget, was the day that the Cambodian society took a turn for the worse. On April 17, 1975, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge went to Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, took control and renamed it Democratic Kampuchea also known as DK. Pol Pot announced to all the citizens that he had to “purify” the Cambodian society. Although the Cambodian genocide did not kill as many people as other genocides such as the Holocaust it is still just as important. I think that the Cambodian Genocide is an awful thing that took place and I feel bad for all the victims of racism. I also think that the perpetrators in this situation are heartless because of the torture that they put the people Cambodian society through because those people were discriminated and did not deserve it. Just like other people who get discriminated by in other genocides.

In “Why 2017 Was the Best Year in Human History,” Kelly Gallagher points out why she believes 2017 was the best year in human history. More specifically, Kelly argues that 2017 was the best year despite the downs that have had an affect on society. She writes, “A smaller share of the world’s people hungry, impoverished or illiterate than at any time before.” Additionally, she says that a smaller amount of children died than ever before. In this passage, Kelly is suggesting that society should also take a look and not miss the things that are going right. In conclusion, Kelly beliefs that 2017 has been the best year so far and that good progress has been made, although some things aren’t going the way she would like them too, but after all

Before I actually started to the actual article, I read the title, which is “Why 2017 Was the Best Year in Human History” the title is a total understatement because of the fact if you looked at 2017 it had a whole lot of pain, death, suffering should not and was not the best year in human history. The author of the article has a positive outlook for 2017 and more power to him, but if you look at 2017 through a logical standing point 2017 could possibly be the worst year in modern history.The way that the author starts off the article by stating that “We all know that the world is going to hell” this is insinuating that the world is a shit hole. While continuing to read he also said that: “We journalists focus on distressed news — we cover planes that crash, not those that take off — but the backdrop of global progress may be the usual important development in our lifetime.” I feel like that as journalists you must tell the world all the good and sad news that happens all over the world because of the world isn't perfect for where life is a nice place where no one is going hunger, where no one is getting abused or where no one is being murdered.While reading the article i saw that the author left out mostly all of the horrific events that had happened throughout 2017 although news outlets focus on the sad occurrences that happen around the world, in 2017 Police officers killed 1,129 people, there were 15 major U.S. natural disasters.

In the past two years, a genocide has been going on in Myanmar that little people around the world know about. The victims that have been affected by this mass murder are the Rohingya Muslims, who originated from the subcontinent of India and are a minority group that makes up 5% of the country’s population. Today, the physical and emotional abuse endured by the Rohingya Muslims prevails a prominent issue in the Middle East. Over in Burma, many of the Muslims are murdered, beaten, or attacked by various religious groups, while government officials either stand and watch or occasionally help.
