  It is strange for me to hear about thousands of corpses and all of the casualties in the genocide in Georgia. I have heard of the genocide in Yugoslavia, but I have never heard of the genocide in Georgia. This leads me to believe that genocide is so common in the world today that even extreme cases sometimes go a tad under the radar.

  This quote really stood out to me when I read this article because it shows the selfishness of countries around the world. Everyone looks out for themselves, and this genocide is a perfect example of how people will turn on their own alies just because they are only looking out for themselves. This is probably why a lot of genocide occurs.

  This is a good article about how nationalism, while it should be a good thing, can turn into something very harmful.

  This is interesting how you can easily get people very excited and get them ready to fight just by getting them loyal to something, as shown in this example. Nationalism is a humongous example of this.

  The fact that there were still so many active sympthizers in Yugoslavia and so many people who respected and supported his shows how big of an influence he was on their lives and it shows the huge support there was for him, which respect goes hand in hand with.

  This is something that I found very interesting about Tito and it is something that is unique to Tito that got him a lot of respect and support. He did not distance himself and tried to like an ordinary guy.

  This shows the ultimate sign of respect for a ruler that is saying that the people are Tito and he is one of them.

This is an artticle about how most of the people in Yugoslavia liked Josip Tito's rule and how he helped Yugoslavia prosper. It goes into great detail about how Tito was basically the entire country, and his death was a huge deal. His funeral is also a key point in this article.

  This is something that I mentioned in my video that I found very important. The fact that youth were starting to get involved in the violence in Colombia shows how bad off the country really is and how everyone there is attached to the violence.

  As stated in my other article, the government is at fault somewhat for the killings of these high officials. Over the years, the killing of high officials has become the trademark of the sicarios.

This article is about the youth in Colombia and their involvement in the violence there. The part that I extracted the most from this article for my video was talking about the sicarios signifying the first youth involvement in the violence, which meant that pretty much everyone had become involved.

  This is the most important part about the rise of the sicarios, where a huge armed battle ensued between the poor, the government, and the drug cartels (paired with the sicarios).

  This is an example of how the government tried to stop the violence in Colombia, but actually hurt it in a lot of ways. It also made a lot more people dislike them.
