In his volume of Castillo’s eyewitness account, Davíd Carrasco writes two interpretive essays entitled “The Exaggerations of Human Sacrifice” and “Human Sacrifice/Debt Payments from the Aztec Point of View.” As the name suggests, “The Exaggerations of Human Sacrifice” aims to dispute the misrepresentations in Díaz del Castillo’s reports and the bona fide extent in which human violence in the Aztec society was executed. “Human Sacrifice/Debt Payments from the Aztec Point of View” details the Aztecs’ perspective on the ritual killings. Carrasco reasonably argues that the ritual killings of…

Their humanity is in the forefront of in calling it a moral injury and we in turn, have to look at our responsibility in asking them to go to war and ‘defend’ our so-called ‘rights’, to the minerals, oil and to defining the rights of other people in their countries. We as a society need to look at what we have become as a nation, that treats it’s military like a police force, but one that meets the wants of the governments American ideals and consumerism of the people. We are not defending our country when we go off to war, we are not being threatened; we are projecting our idea of what the world should be and how it should operate onto other countries, we are protecting a way of life that we have become accustomed to, at the cost of others’ lives and…
