TWA Flight 800

1. What is your reaction to Ansary's famous post 9-11 email? Use quotations from the email to explain. After the attack on the World Trade Center Tamim Ansary sent out an email. Which quickly spread like wildfire. Fueled by emotions he sent out an email discussing that his home Afghanistan was not part of the attack. Within three days of this email Tamim was receiving calls from news networks, because of it. When hearing of Tamim’s experiences as he witnessed and heard people saying that all Muslims must pay as well as America should bomb Afghanistan to the dark ages. To the people of America, they didn’t know that that has already happened “Make the afghans suffer?...Level their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of rubble? Done. Eradicate their hospitals? Done. Destroy their infrastructure? Cut them off from medicine and heath care? Too late. Someone already did all that.” (Ansary 291). This email showed that people in America got too much blood lust, and were just looking to kill their enemy’s. As a student stand point I believe the email was something fantastically written, and heart felt, but American still went to Afghanistan. 2. Both Tamim and Malala view Islam and their countries and traditions much differently than the Taliban. Explain. For both Tamim and Malala they view Islam as their religion that is being transformed by these maniacs called the Taliban. For Tamim he seen that the practices the extremists were preaching somehow find their way to his…

Flight 800, Pure Tragic The odds of someone getting in an airplane crash and dying are one in eleven-million. The one plane crash that has been talked about the most the past 22 years is Flight 800 better known as “TWA Flight 800”. This was unluckily one of those one in eleven-millions. However, did the plane just crash? Or was it apart of something or someone´s plan. Was there really a missle that hit the midsection of the plane that caused it to explode. Or a short circuit that ignited a…

Rwanda; a multicultural African country with more than ten million inhabitants, has a village called Banyarauanda which has three different ethnic groups; Tutsis, Hutus and Twas. These ethnic groups share the same culture, languages and some tasks such as agriculture and livestock. Moreover, when the Tutsis was in charge of the small town; monarchy, everything was peaceful and equitable; however, in 1923 Banyarauanda became a Belgian colony with a different way of rule where the Tutsis was a…

Hotel Rwanda Cross Cultural Paper Lonnie Young III University of Detroit Mercy Professor Vancamp Cultural Anthropology 25 October 2015 According to the Ebrary article “Order of Genocide Race, Power, and War in Rwanda,” Straus (2008) stated that “Genocide is ultimately about how ordinary people come to see fellow citizens, neighbors, friends, loved ones, and even children as “enemies” who must be killed.” This means that people dislike other people because of their race, gender, education, and…

Carl Wilkens is the director of World Outside My Shoes and upstander in the Rwandan genocide in 1994. He was the only American that stayed throughout the 100-day massacre of 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus and tries to protect his friend in Rwanda and the kids that lived there and help the people living in Kigali during the brutal times of war. The genocide was the result of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana’s death in a plane crash in 1994, according to the United Nations. A Hutu…

Hello fellow classmates and professor, For this discussion post I read “A genocide is taking place. Luckily we Americans have other things to worry about. Written by Christian Caryl and published by The Washington Post newspaper.

In the film Hotel Rwanda, the media had a significant impact on the events that happened there. Radio was used by the reporters, and that had an impact on the events there as well. Also, reporters there faced the ethical dilemma of reporting all of the facts to the public while putting themselves in danger, or not telling the public the entire truth to keep themselves safe. I do not think that there is a way to balance these responsibilities. During the genocide in the country Rwanda,…

Genocide-the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. The Rwandan Genocide is one of the worst times in history. It started in April of 1994 and ended that July. On April 6, 1994, a plane carrying Habyarimana and Burundi’s president Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down over Kigali, leaving no survivors. (It has never been conclusively determined who the culprits were. Some have blamed Hutu extremists, while others blamed leaders of the…

The population in Rwanda consisted of 3 ethnic groups: 85% Hutu, 14% Tutsi, and 1% Twa. During that period of time the Belgians favored the Tutsi more than the Hutus; the Belgians actually educated the Tutsi in order to run the government, causing an unintended division amongst the two cultural groups. In 1961, the Hutus exiled all the Tutsis, and by 1962 the Hutus exiled all Tutsi government officials. Over time the Hutus and Tutsi created two individual political groups: Rwandese Patriotic…

In 1994, in Rwanda, the mass killings of 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus occurred. The killings were carried out by the Hutus, due to the tensions that rose between the two groups when the country gained its independence in the 1960s and the Belgians openly favoring the Tutsi. The mass killings that occurred should be considered as a genocide because it fits with the definition of genocide as it was the destruction of a whole/part of a specific group of people and the deliberate killing of a…
