In 1978, over 900 people drank flavor-aid laced with cyanide and sedatives in Jonestown, a settlement in Guyana. This phenomenon of so many people poisoning their children then themselves under the direction of just one man, Jim Jones, seems hard to believe. Although it is technically a suicide, the people were by no means emotionally stable enough to all make this decision willfully. Jim Jones carefully planned this massacre, which is shown through his treatment of the members of his temple, his mental state, and the timing in which everything was carried out.…

According to Webster's Dictionary, a massacre is, the violent killing of many people. There have been many school shootings in the history of America, but in the most recent years our country has experienced terror, heartbreak, and frustration.

The caldarian dolphin massacre is a sad event that happens once a year when the Calderon dolphins migrate passing through the shore of Denmark’s Faroe Isles. The People of these Isles get together and torture the dolphins to death by stabbing them several times, beating them, and amputating them alive. You can hear them screaming in agony. All this pointless slaughter for the tradition that the whole island part takes in. The slaughtering is mostly done by young teenagers.Even though the whole isles partakes in it either by killing or watching and celebrating the cruelty taking place. It is a tradition that according to the denmarkians of these islands proves you've entered the “gate” into manhood, to show that you are an adult and mature. It is a tradition/celebration that has been happening for hundreds of years, But to prove that you are a man by slaughtering one of the scientifically proven most intelligent and close to extinction, animals in the ocean in cold blood in my opinion , proves exactly the contrary. It just goes to show how barbaric man can be .…
