USA on Rwandan Genocide!

The United States stayed out of the genocide because we were previously embarrassed about a situation that happened. We didn't not go because of future embarrassment but because so many other people were there, like the French, Belgium and the Rwandans were all fighting. The USA can't be the stepping stone and be there for everyone to put a bandage for every cut that people get. The U.S. has other places to be and other things to do. America didn't just not talk about Rwandan Genocide we told America about it. We also said sorry for not being there. Plenty of other people want to blame America when they could have helped too. The French and Belgium comes to mind because they were already there and instead of picking sides and making things worse they could have been stopping it!

Sitting in the spot of the United States, we stayed out of the genocide. People had an issue with it at first then, but then realized other people had worse parts in this. Sitting back and watching this go by I realized that we didn't do damage because we didn't go in there. My personal opinion is that the Interahamwe, which leads back to Juvenal. Juvenal brain washed people which those people, became the Interahawe. The Interahawe took machetes and just started kill the Tutsi.

The USA stayed out of the debate mostly. Other people and places were blaming each other back and forth. The debate over all was a great experience. I thought we could throw are feelings out there without fearing not that we usually do but it was a good time. Listening to people talk about other people coming back was really interesting because everyone had good ideas and thoughts about who or what they were. I think everyone enjoyed this activity because we all were sort of a roll and we stuck to it. Everyone is saying that we really believe what we said, which is kind of crazy because some people were really crazy and did some really bad things to innocent people. What I didn't understand is that why keep blaming each other when we can just realize what we did and work together to fix on what we messed up. If we all just work together we can fix it, like Bob the Builder says"Can we fix it, Yes we can" my focus is on we. Changing I to we can change anything. Just blaming people makes matters worse because we keep going farther and farther back in time, instead of going forward to stop the genocide.

"The American Scholar"-Yay or Nay

Emerson's argument in "The American Scholar" about American society still holds true today.

A reason Emerson's argument is still true today is because people normally work with one job and only do that. Take my mom's job for instances, she works at FedEx and sometimes she changes routes and she gets thrown off a little bit because she's not use to the new area. In the article Emerson says "The priest becomes a form; the attorney a statue book; the mechanic a machine; the sailor the rope." That is true for most people, when they get outside their area of work they are confused.

Emerson knows what other people don't realize. People think they are good at what they do, most likely because they are but, they probably don't realize is that they my not succeed at other things. Others know they are good at one thing and that's why they do what they do. My dad works for the government and is good at it, but he knows he is good at other things too. People are shocked because my dad is a photographer too. People think he can only be a government worker, which is a lot of proof of Emerson's article.
