6. Do you think that Western nations, such as Great Britain, France, Germany, and the U.S. should respond differently to atrocities around the world today? Should they have done more? Why?
I believe that European countries and the U.S. should respond differently. To start, we should be responding by providing aid when necessary. We must not turn a blind eye to the atrocities that are being committed. The countries that hold the majority of the power and have an interest in the resources that Africa holds should take part in trying to maintain the peace. If we hope to share a stake in the African countries then we should also work to maintain peace. We should use our superior military forces to try and reduce the brutality that is occurring. Furthermore, in the European countries took part in the brutality and it is their responsibility to try and fix what they broke.
While it is clear that we can not be the police power for the entire world, it is important that we still take care of everything we are trying to use, especially if we hold an interest in the resources there.
As humans, we are all equal and everyone deserves a chance to live a great life, so it is our responsibility to provide aid when we can and where we can.
