The inhumane acts prevalent in the modern world are rooted in mankind itself. As stated in the novel Lord of the Flies, the author William Golding proposes the idea that the defects of society stem from the defects of human nature (204). The Khmer Rouge regime exemplifies that the flaws of society emanate from the abuses of one’s power; unless humans change their morality, society will not improve. Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial,…

My topic is the Cambodian Genocide. It all started with the Khmer Rouge party leader Pol Pot who tried to make Cambodia an agrarian society. I found this topic interesting because the Cambodians were fighting against the French for their independence and the Khmer Rouge came and the Cambodians thought they were being helped out by the Khmer Rouge. In fact, the Khmer Rouge’s only goal was to defeat the French so they could take over. I found this interesting because how does it feel to know…

Malcolm X once said, “There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.” Loung Ung is a victim of the 1975 Cambodian Genocide and lost almost everything that she held dear to her including her home, her parents, and two of her sisters. However, she did not let their deaths weight her down as she went on to survive the wrath of the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge started a takeover…

Try being forced to move away from your home country, family, and everything you know to escape an unsafe environment.

While the cop is listening to the joker speak only half of his face is fully visible due to the lack of light in the room. It then switches to the joker talking and behind him is very dark, only perk of his face is slightly visible, everything else behind him is not. This adds suspense to the scene that…

is why they never truly end each other and will continue the endless cycle they are stuck in. While some would disagree with this, others say that the Bat is just as insane as the joker, maybe even more. There are times in comics, for example “The Killing Joke”, that have more or less proven this point. For example, at the end of the comic, while the two stand in the rain waiting for the police to arrive, the Joker tells Batman a joke. The Jokers is practically hysterically laughing at this…
