Genocide of Darfur

I was surprised today by how many people have died in Darfur. I have a friend who is a big activist but I never knew details of the genocide. To answer your question about how to analyze over summarize you could focus a little on the Holocaust. My teacher's have shown multiple videos where people have admitted to never even hearing about the Holocaust. Since the Holocaust is a bigger event than Darfur maybe you could use a paragraph to talk about how Americans don't even know what the Holocaust is. You could also relate this to how most Americans seem to be only concerned with what happens in the United States and that's why they're not concerned about Darfur. I admit that I knew about the killing and rape but I had no idea where Darfur is. This could also relate back to Greg's talk about geography and lack of knowledge on our part. It would probably also help your paper if you gave a little more background knowledge about the genocide and why exactly the people are getting killed. Overall, great presentation.
