Guatemalan Genocide Research Paper

This project has taught me so much. Not only about the genocides, but how to treat other people and to think about what other people have gone through. I’ve realized that every country has gone through something so difficult and terrifying; there is no perfect place. I feel like everyone should take a step back and look at everything going on around them and realize that they’re not the only person struggling or that there are people who are having a difficult time and need help.

This genocide project has taught me about the world. Not necessarily every place, but mainly that there are bad things that happen everywhere. This world isn’t perfect and I don’t expect it to be. We are all different people and different people tend to not get along sometimes. It’s sad to think about all of the horrific events that took place in any kind of crime or disaster. I’ve read about women and children being raped, tortured, and killed. I’ve also read about every age and gender being starved and worked to death. I just despise the thought of

Pregnant women had their wombs cut open so that them and their unborn child could die. That is just so sickening, ecspecially since they disembowled people and amputated men, women, and children’s limbs. Children are the most innocent creatures on this earth and to harm them is so cruel.

Every genocide is upsetting though. The Holocaust, Cambodian genocide, Guatemalan, Rwandan, Namibian, Armenian, and the Bosnian. All of the men, women, and children that were killed is upsetting. Just trying to think about what they went through is so hard because I can’t even imagine the pain and suffering that everyone went through. I just hope that another genocide doesn’t take place because if it does I feel like another war would happen. Another war won’t do any good and I feel bad for the people who have to go through hellish enviroments right
