Noah Genocide Comments

I thought overall this was a good unit. I learned a lot of stuff about all the genocides that have happened over the years, and I learned more about the ones I already knew about. I was surprised that so many genocides have happened in recent years. I already thought of myself as pretty pessimistic about most things, but I guess I thought people would've learned from past mistakes.

Most of the stuff we learned about the Holocaust I already knew. Not much to say about that one.

I hardly knew anything about the Rwandan genocide before the movie, though. It was very interesting to learn the circumstances behind everything that happened. It was pretty disturbing to learn that the only difference between Hutu and Tutsi was that the Belgians decided the ones with better noses and slightly lighter skin were a better class, and there were no cultural or belief differences between them. It's amazing people can have so much hatred for people of a different "class" than them.
