World Happening

by writer4life

Essay

A world happening that is important to me.

A world happening that seems important to me is genocide: the deliberate destruction of an entire race or nation. Sometimes when you think something is wrong, and it makes you sad; you want to do something about it. That is exactly how I feel about genocide. Genocide is a horrible thing. The Holocaust was Genocide. In Darfur genocide is going on. I think it is terrible to kill anyone because of their race or religion. It’s not fair! I know for a fact I would never want to be killed because of my race or religion. People die but I don't think someone should have to die because of what they believe in or their race because you don't get to pick your race. How could someone be so cruel? I don't get it. I could never kill anyone. It makes me think. Do the antagonists have guilt every night about killing large amounts of people? If they did then wouldn't they stop? What pleasure do they get out of killing so many people? I have no answers. I never will. It is their lives and they have to live it.

Thank you so much! There was more, but I got confused and thought it had to be 200 words or less. Yes I haev considered becoming a journalist. There are so many options!
