Iraq: 33 Die in Multiple Attacks [GROUP 6]
Permalink  

"Suicide bombings and other attacks across Iraq killed at least 33 people and wounded nearly 80 more on Monday, the police said."

That is the entire purpose of this article. 33 people died. However, this is nothing new at all. Incidents like this happen all of the time.

So, some questions:

 

1. Do you honestly care when people die in other countries? Or are these just numbers?

2. How different do you think the reaction to this story would be if it were to happen in the U.S?

3. Do you believe that some human life is more valuable others?

Well,i do not care as much because they are people from other countries and i do not know them personally, sad it is though. All human life is valuabole, unless you are a bad person and commit crimes and kill others, then your life is not valuable and you should be put to death yourself or punished.

1. They are more then just numbers, it heart breaking to see this go on for so long but it mainly come down to how can i help if i am on the other side of the world? yeah you can raise awareness or something lie that but you can only do so much. Throwing money at an issue is basically almost all Americans do to be honest and that can only do so much. In turn yes i care people are being killed all over he world through these kinds of situations.

2. If this was happening in the U.S there would be chaos mainly because we don't have situations like this happen here often or at all. People see it as this is not our problem so why should we care when we should care 

3. I see no other human life above any other. No one man/woman is above another just because they have tons of money or they are famous or because they are a political people. I see everyone as equals. I dont care about where you came from or who you are you are still human like everyone else.

I do care if other people die in other countries the thought that innocent people are suffering is scary and sad. I think that if this happened in the U.S there would be a lot of problems. No i dont see human life more valuable than others we are equally whether people want to accept it or not were all the same.

I hate to say it but it doesn't really matter to me when it happens in a different country. When things like these happen in the US it does hit home a little more than the others. I don't see some human life more valuable than others but I do care more about people who are closer to me.
