I always knew this notion existed. I always tried to ignore it. Whenever someone in my social circle made an intolerant remark‚ I would force myself to calm down reaffirming myself that it’s their ignorance talking‚ that they are just being immature or that they do not understand how pernicious their statements are. Those brief aggressions‚ that resentful mindset‚ I came to a point in which I couldn’t take it anymore. I could not just dismiss it again. At some point‚ I realized I was sick and tired

The Abu Ghirab prison was the most horrific‚ brutal and dehumanizing thing I have even come across. The level of suffering the inmates experienced words cannot express how terrifying it is. There were male as well as female and even worst‚ children was in that dreadful place. They were treated worse than animals in my opinion‚ I cannot see in no one lives they should have to encounter such gruesome experience. The Stanford prison experiment was conducted on August 14th to 20th‚ 1971.The team of researchers

directed towards the Jews‚ my guess is most of you would say Adolf Hitler. But this quote actually comes from a man who inspired most of the German hate towards the Jews‚ a man who was and still is regarded as one of the great reformists of the church.

Luther‚ a German hero‚ has a handful of quotes about burning down synagogues and forcing the Jews to move away. 400 years

Passage 57 of Jacob Rader Marcus’s work‚ The Jew in the Medieval World‚ provides great insight into the role of Jews under Muslim rule during the 10th century. The primary individual of the document is Saadia‚ who became the Gaon at the academy of Sura during the period of the Abbasid caliphate. During this dynasty‚ the “Jews had a political head in the exilarch and great religious leaders in the Geonim” (Marcus 323).

Imagine all your emotions‚ thoughts‚ and feelings were erased and dismissed into obscurity. There is a word for this process known as dehumanization. To be dehumanized is to take away all the large and small aspects that construct who you are. You would never be truly cheerful or upset‚ would never fall in love‚ would never see yourself as an individual. Instead you would be a hollow shell that simply complies with rules and obligations without question or hesitation. This scenario is not the way

His witnessing of good people turned into brutes through atrocities
