Review Questions part 4
In what ways did genocide impact the development of the developing country?
Genocide impacted the development of the developing country because of the casualties. Many leaders had been killed, the roads, buildings and services had been badly damaged and many people became traumatized by the violence.
Where does the rebuilding of a country shattered by genocide begin? What can the people do? What an the government do? What can the international community do?
The rebuilding of a country shattered by genocide begins with the citizens. They need to come together as a community and start rebuilding.They have to want to start rebuilding. Morn the losses but not let it hold them back from building a community. The government would need to be established and so would control. They would need a starting point to where and what should start to be rebuilt. The international communities could send money and support to Rwanda.
How can justice be found in post-genocide Rwanda?
Justice can be found in post-genocide of Rwanda by the trials. Trials are starting to be taking place in the community to give the punishment that is deserved to the murders.
Which can bring justice to the people of Rwanda more effectively - international courts or community courts?
I believe that community courts would bring justice to the Rwanda more effectively than international courts. This is because the courts would happen more quickly and punishment would be dished out quicker. Also, the people form the community can watch them. Also, people in the community would understand the situation more.

Review Questions
Imagine that you were Valentina. What would you do or say if you were confronted by Bagaruka in the village after the genocide?
I would attack the man. I would be raged at what he had done, and he just killed my family and many others. I would be after the man until he was dead or put behind bars.
2. Put yourself in the shoes of Denis Bagaruka. How could you kill all of these innocent people? What would you have to do to create a mindset that would make it possible to murder innocent women, men and children.
I couldn't kill all those innocent people. I would have created a mindset of knowing that killing of the people were wrong and with no purpose. I would have gone to get some help to try and save the people.
3. What kind of punishment should Bagaruka be given?
I believe Bagaruka should get the death penalty. Although he may have been ordered to do the killings or everyone of what he thought his kind was, he still killed the people.
4. Try to put yourself in Valentina's shoes. It is three years after the end of the genocide. In what ways does the genocide still impact your daily life?
The genocide would feel it is apart of your life and that it has never gone away. Nightmares would occur every night of the killing in the church. Everyday you would morn the loss of the family and wish they were with you. She would never forget this, she had massive injuries that almost killed her too.

“Relations with China is a necessary evil.”
Relations with China is a huge necessary evil. This is due to the fact that over half of the goods bought in the United States come from there. We rely on each other to greatly increase growth in economy.
Since of the population in China being over a billion, people are willing to do and accept things easier. What I mean by that is in China there are more workers in factories and everywhere. But they could make as little as $3.00 to $7.00 in a days work. That sounds outrages to people living in the United States since the minimum you can make working for an employer is $7.50 an hour. The people in China have to accept this so they can make a living in their over populated country. If they refuse to or don’t do there job they will be replaced in a second.
Exports are also a great deal of importance from these two countries. Due to the low pay to employes in China, there companies are able to sell and export items at a cheaper price to her. This is also why we buy from China. For example, if a shirt cost $20 to make in the United States it will only cost about $10 to make in China. To buy the United States product, you might have to pay $25 when to buy the shirt made in China it would cost $15. So people and businesses, industries are going to by the cheaper items. This give the buyer a cheaper item, but its quality would slack. If they didn’t send us the exports, we would have to pay more for items and stuff we’d want and there would be a constant argument on the prices and buying them. Due to the fact that the United States is in recession.
China workers has been feeling more and more like garbage due to the low wages they are being paid. We have been helping China’s economy tremendously and they have been seeing more and more of the United States and the items we have. So this is making them want. For example, they want our technology and accessories we take for granted. Like our lap tops cars and televisions. This is making China workers want more pay for there work and protests taking place. So employers are raising wages little by little. If wages keep rising then exports being sent to the United States would rise in price. This could lead to the United States lowering there prices more so we could just have and buy all products made from the United States. This could raise our economy and help get us out of the recession since all the money we made would stay in the United States and wouldn’t be exported to China. This could create jobs and money would start to flow within the country.
China and its people have had it great deals of government issues too. The people of China didn’t like how the government was doing things and they let it be known. The government started to kill the protesters. If the United States became enemies and a war was happening and we weren’t allies. It would be a huge up hill battle due to the population numbers. China is a big part to the United States and with everyday the United States is becoming more and more important to China.
