Blog #5 “WHY SO SERIOUS”?

In my opinion I believe the film “The Dark Knight”, which is one of many batman films is based upon the idea of a city “Gotham city” that it is one of the worst crime cities. Throughout the Dark Knight, batman is a hero mainly because he protects Gotham from the criminals for example: “The Joker”. Batman is defined as a hero because he doesn’t think twice about making a problem a solution. A hero in my eyes is someone who is truthful, responsible, and most importantly some who doesn’t say no or ever think twice about helping someone in need.

In my personal opinion I believe that the quote is talking about how mainly everybody dies in Pedro Paramo, which leads to people feeling haunted and wondering and thinking about death. I do believe that thinking about being haunted is much different then actually being haunted. Someone might watch a horror film and be worried they will be haunted but in modern day society some people are haunted by psychopaths.

Evaluate the ways did the documentary you watched on Tuesday-Thursday enhanced your understanding of the Six Day War”

The documentary “Six Days In June” was an in depth look at the six-day war. Before I watched the documentary I personally did not know too much information on the topic of the Six Day War. While watching the documentary it enhanced my learning in many different aspects. Before the watching the documentary I barely knew what countries were involved and what government officials led this war. It is quite interesting to learn visually about this through the documentary because it helps me grasp the information about the Six Day War. I now understand the significance and background the Six Day War had on these countries.

What Responsibilities, if any, did the International community have to the victims / survivors of the holocaust?

In my opinion I believe the International was very responsible for the victims and survivors of the holocaust. One key factor for there responsibility is by giving victims and survivors homes and security that the holocaust is over. A state of internal security that nothing will ever happen again. Countries need to help people migrate into different countries. Many governments were responsible for the holocaust not just Hitler. Countries such as the United States could have possibly prevented what has happened during the holocaust. A major role in responsibility would be do educate the victims and survivors of the holocaust. Countries should educate the victims and survivors by explain to them what actually happened. Why were their family members and friends killed? How many people died? The Soviet army enters Auschwitz and liberates the remaining prisoners. Only a few thousand prisoners remain in the camp. Almost 60,000 prisoners, mostly Jews, were forced on a death march from the camp shortly before its liberation. During the forced evacuation of Auschwitz, prisoners were brutally mistreated and many were killed. SS guards shot anyone who fell behind. During its brief existence, nearly 1 million Jews were killed in Auschwitz. Other victims included between 70,000 and 74,000 Poles, 21,000 Roma (Gypsies), and about 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war.

Based on what you now know, describe the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli Conflict?

Near the train there is a caption that says “peace process”. In my opinion I believe peace process is symbolizing the process in which both countries are trying to come to peace with each other. The train in the picture represents that the conflict is so far in fighting that it is so hard to bring peace now.

1905
Paris
I believe the author was trying to convey that the Arab nation is trying to form a new government.
“The mode of government will be a constitutional sultanate based on the freedom of all the religions and equality of all citizens before the law.”
This is a valuable source.
This source is a primary source not a second source.
This primary source looses value to me when they don’t mention about the Jews.
