After the end of the cold war, this became a lingering issue in international politics. During this period, there have been many cries for intervention - some of them being answered and some being ignored. But there continues to be

The last hundred years have brought the world many valuable things; computers, better sanitation conditions, understandings of diseases, vaccines, surgery, education, and so much more. But there are so many social constructs that have made little progress such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. In reality vaccines and sexism are manmade, a vaccine is a manmade invention and sexism is a manmade idea. Neither would exist without human beings backing the idea that they are necessary. Racism is “prejudice

present rate of population growth is one of the most significant environmental issues we as humans are facing. The exponential growth at which the population is moving is having direct impacts on climate, energy, poverty, food, the global economy, and politics (Why Population Matters). The world population is currently 7.3 billion people and there is growing doubt that the planet is able to sustain human needs and resource consumption (Population Concern).

Furthermore, the fabrication of categorization by Rwandans founded gender binary which contributes to the stimulation of genocide. Gender binary refers to a model of gender that classifies all people into two genders (Benson, 2005, pp.1). Under the binary model, gender is rigid (Ibid). The categorization of genders establishes roles for each sex to accept. In the pre-genocide period, each of these roles was adopted by both genders.

In 1994, tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi of Rwanda culminated in a three-month long civil war that included the massacring of many men, women, and children. At the conclusion of the Rwandan Genocide, the country felt the loss of over 800,000 people, with some estimates calculating the total at well over 1,000,000 (History.com Staff, 2009).

Before UNAMIR had been launched there was a lack of information surrounding Rwanda. In a precursor to the mission, Dallaire looked for intelligence regarding the small landlocked country in Africa, what he could find came from newspaper accounts, and scholarly articles. He learned of the social and political climate, which stemmed from an ethnic divide between the Hutus and Tutsis. This was the only information Dallaire along with Brent Beardsley had gathered, it was not until they met with Isoa

German sexism in politics still exists; despite the Chancellor being a woman, not many lower or mid-level governmental positions are held by women. Alice Schwarzer, the country’s best-known feminist, lends her quote to this issue: “Since 2005, little girls can decide: Do I become a hairdresser — or chancellor?” While the state of gendered politics and participation may outwardly seem fantastic, Germany still struggles with uplifting women; the climate for German women in politics is icy, but warmer
