Rwanda

This week we will be talking about the tragedies of various genocides that have occured in recent decades. Specifically we will be focusing on the role of the government and individual citizens in ending these conflicts. Students will be asked to brainstorm about how the United States and the United Nations could have acted differently to stop/prevent these crises from happening.
