Both the genocide that occurred in Cambodia and the Nazi Regime’s Holocaust showed the idea of violence through similar themes of degradation of human life and conditions prisoners were placed in and motivation to expel…

creating an opening for the Khmer Rouge to take over with its leader, Pol Pot. The Cambodian Genocide was about to begin. The mission was to completely transform Cambodia into an extreme communist society, modeled after Mao Zedong’s China, that was “based on strict one-party rule, rejection of urban and Western ideas, and abolition of private property” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). On the fateful date of April 17, 1975, Pol Pot lead the Khmer Rouge to conquer…

If you look at a world map today, you will see an overwhelming majority of countries implementing capitalist ideals and many of them have become very successful. However, very few still apply communist ideals, in contrast to the many countries who tried such forms of government in the 20th century. It is my belief that although communism may not be a bad idea all together, it is still a flawed system that cannot work, and a free market system is better. One reason Communism does not work is…

“Equal” and “Free” - There is a Difference The Qing dynasty has proven a relevant component of Chinese society for centuries.

I am currently a PhD student at Fuller Theological Seminary, studying systematic (constructive) theology under the mentorship of Dr. Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen. Systematic theology is highly significant for the gospel-centered life of the Church, in the sense that the discipline explores how the core message of Jesus Christ according to Scripture can be concretely embodied in particular forms of confessions and practical spheres of Christians’ everyday lives. I have been pursuing this area as my…

They wanted a completely self-sustaining state, refusing any resource or person out-of-state. This, of course, included refusal of any medical supplies. This resulted in many deaths from easily treatable diseases. Pol Pot’s men shut down hospitals, places of worship, schools, banks, and schools. This empty brick and mortar was repurposed to prison cells, torture chambers, and buildings of command. To go along with their vision of a complete communist state, they…

in the world, the Cambodian Genocide, on the other hand, is just as significant. From 1975 to 1979, the Cambodian genocide took place during the Khmer Rouge regime. The leader of the Khmer Rouge was Pol Pot, whose ultimate goal was to shift Cambodia into a “utopia”. In order to achieve this goal, Pol Pot had his soldiers propel people out of their homes into working fields. During the process, the Khmer Rouge slaughtered thousands of Cambodians with the majority being “new people”. The “new…
