Gen Peeves Musharraf the president of Pakistan locked up most of the countries democracy activists so the Pakistani Supreme Court to rule if he could remain president,However he locked up the countries top judges so he could remain president. Saddam Huseinn won his supposed elections with a similar process. Power corrupt a person’s judgement and personality. A series of test done by psychologist at Northwestern University’s School of Management shows that those who felt like they were in control or had power often could not see things from others point of view. They were  becoming selfish and had bad social skills. While on the other hand those who felt powerless or average were much more understanding had great social skills and demonstrated empathy. In away this can be related to many issues the middle east, even the past. For example in the Narrative written by a slave named Fredrick Douglass he pointed out that his once kind hearted, and angelic mistress became violent and demonic when she became a slave holder..At first she was fine but the corrupt seed of power was already placed in this sweet girls heart. To be such a kind person at one time and a controlling bully the next is wrong. It shows how power seems to corrupt us all in some way or form. As Fredrick said this new power corrupted this girl as it does to all of us.

The Darfur project has finally come to its supposed end. It was really fun and very heartwarming to see a project you help start have so many results. To let your voice be heard is such an amazing feeling and to know you can make a difference in the world makes it worthwhile. When this project first began as an idea from the exploding walls project, I truly did not think many people would help. It seemed that the  voices of Darfur and children in general had fallen on deaf ears. However after working on so many writings I felt proud to help so many less fortunate than myself. When all those comments came in i could not believe how many others over the world wanted to help out. It was extremely heartwarming. Well it seems now the project has finally come to its supposed end . However if you truly care about whats going on in Darfur don’t stop spreading awareness keep talking, and speaking for the region of Darfur. We can still continue even after the journey is said to be done.

Mass genocide in the world was said to be over. We as a world power agreed that we would not let such terror overrun any part of our world. We would look after each other like a community; however the community is world wide. However was that just an empty promise? Could it be that we are letting slums grow on the outskirts of our society?
Darfur has become that slum; there is nothing here but terror and the lack of hope. Unannounced to most people a 21st mass genocide is going on, and has been for years. Here is the evidence of a community that needs to put itself back together. At this moment in the region of Darfur, a region of Sudan people are dying, woman are being raped, families are being separated with nothing but the dream of one day being reunited, children are running screaming crying out for an end to violence yet like the slums of every great city, every great community they are ignored. How is it we can go and start a war with no goal, no end in sight yet we ignore the husbands and wives grieving over their separation, the kids who cant understand why the world is so cruel, the young woman who cry themselves to sleep from being raped before finding love, the starvation the famine how can we let this go on. The Sudanese government uses well coordinated attacks with bandits and nomads called the Janjaweed to lay waste to whole towns. How can a government associate themselves with bandits? Yet the community is so busy debating they forgot what the problem was. We as the worlds greatest country have to take our part to ensure that are global community runs right. We have gained the reputation of a democracy and protector of those that can not defend them yet we ignore those who have begged for help. The 500,000 dead, the even more who have been misplaced, the woman who have been raped, the homes lost, we cannot change that. However we can stop it from continuing.  I’m so glad that there are kids out there who are helping their global community, we need to cry out for those who voices have been lost, we need to keep writing comments to help Darfur, if we banned together maybe we can fix the slums, and make a difference in society.
