Click on the link below and read 28.5 and 29.7. Answer the questions at the end of each reading. Email all responses to lwaddell@tuhsd.k12.az.us
28.5. Alain Destexhe, Rwanda and Genocide in the Twentieth Century
1. How would you define genocide? Do you think that Destexhe is correct in indicting the Hutu leadership for this crime?
2. In the refugee camp at Goma at least tens of thousands and possibly several hundred thousand Hutus died, largely from cholera, which swept the area in epidemic fashion. Several media sources applied the term “genocide” to the tragedy at Goma, but Destexhe finds it inappropriate. What do you think?
29.7. “We Wage a War to Save Civilization Itself” (2001): George W. Bush
1. In his speech of September 11, Bush states that the U.S. was attacked “because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.” Do you agree with assessment? Why or why not?
2. Can you think of any instances in history where terrorism worked to achieve a political goal?
For this project you will create a timeline of China from 1900 to 1990. You need include at least 12 events. Be sure to have key leaders, key events, and any countries that may be involved. Some examples would be Mao, The Great Leap Forward, Little Red Book, to name a few (hint, hint).

What connection was there between the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, and the Cold War?
The Warsaw Security Pact

Albert Camus: The Rebel

In view of Camus’ assertion that “the twentieth century revolution…is first of all a politics and an ideology,” why did he insist that concentration upon politics and ideologies was futile and unrealistic?
