 The human experience, no matter where you live, is relatively the same. This statement is somewhat true. The events that happen in your lifetime help to shape the person that you will become. The genocide in Rwanda is evidence of that. The survivors live in fear of another mass killing and also have trouble coping with the loss of absolutely everything. The country may be rebuilding its towns and communities but the people, the survivors, are so scared from the acts of discrimination and hatred that they are not able to move forward in their lives.

China’s decision to limit one child per family has had some serious consequences for the country in the long run. Children are growing up only knowing about a small family. They also do not have the companionship of having a sibling or another person that they can rely on which can possibly affect their ability to rely on others for things. The other thing that affects the lives of the people of China is the censored internet. The government controls what people are allowed to see which means that they are unable to learn about the things that go against the government. They don’t have full access to the world and miss out on things that could help them move up in life.

 Israel faces something entirely different. The conflict between Israel and Palestine affects the people who grew up during the conflict. It shows them that no matter what Palestine says or does, they are still the bad guys and they can only depend on their own people. The innocent people that are growing up around all of this conflict live in fear of another war or attack from Palestine and that can cause them to become more apprehensive and scared about anything. Also when the two countries head towards peace talks, the people realize that they can trust Palestine and lose some of that fear.

The Dalits in India are another example. They are the lowest group of people in the Indian caste system. The people have grown up being told that they are worthless and they are simple there to clean up after everyone. They have no rights and no way to escape. Their frustration with the government about the laws against them has caused them to retaliate against the people that are keeping them in such a low status. Because of their retaliation, the Dalits are growing stronger as a people and are not letting the simple fact that they are the lowest group of people from getting them selves more accepted in society.

Finally, the statement, “The human experience, no matter where you live, is relatively the same” is somewhat correct. The human experience is the events that happen in your life that help you to become the person that you will be. Everyone experiences similar things, like fear, love, longing, and strength, but it is the way that they embrace those experiences that makes the human experience different from country to country.
