By saying that no more genocides will occur is a way to shelter the thought of ever being victim to these mass killings. By watching the film Hotel Rwanda‚ I have come to agree with Hobbes’s theory of people naturally being evil. Everybody truly only cares about themselves. While the Hutu’s were literally slaughtering the Tutsi’s by the masses‚ the world didn’t care. That to me is true
