In the nineteenth century‚ the great nation of America that had been so successfully founded and developed by its united citizens was threatened by civil war. The early part of the century sought compromise that would end disputes between the Northern and Southern regions of the country; however‚ by 1850‚ tensions between the two parties had risen far beyond conciliation.

The term genocide was not coined until 1943 when Raphael Lamkin used it to describe the Nazi reign in Europe (ROD notes). Genocide refers to the systematic destruction of a racial or cultural group. Two examples of this are the Holocaust and the Rape of Nanking. The Holocaust deals with the Nazi’s takeover of Europe during World War II‚ and the Rape of Nanking is the Japanese invasion of China in the late 1930’s. These events in history serve a painful reminder of the cruelest depths of human nature

Sometimes people stop‚ but most of the time‚ cars whiz past you without thinking twice. Now imagine you are homeless‚ but this time it is during the Depression. How is it different? Do people help you in the same way as they would in today’s society? Our society’s attitudes towards homelessness and poverty are both similar and different than society’s

Weldon’s comment on the moral development of characters throughout a story applies directly to both Wit and Atonement. While neither Vivian‚ a harsh college professor‚ nor Briony‚ a young girl enthralled with mature fantasies‚ actually fix the mistakes they have made‚ each of them comes to an ethical revelation towards the end of their lives. Wit and Atonement both exemplify dramatic changes from past faulty behaviors at the end of life‚ but Atonement gives a more concrete demonstration of compensating

However‚ at the same time for man to think that‚ money is everything‚ is also a great mistake. Money is necessity only in as much as‚ it is the thing which buys for us all we need‚ but‚ beyond that‚ money is a harbinger of all sorts of vices. Let us remember that money is to be considered
