Nick Bruno Honors Global Studies Final Essay

The Human Experience no matter where you live is the same is a gray statement. This world is overall extremely diverse. People have different opportunities, culture, race, language, encounters and interactions with the world. a lot of countries have low tolerance for other countries because of they do not agree with another countries culture or race. The Israel and the Arabs have been suffering major problems with their culture diversity since B.C. times and are still going on today. Not even the government could solve problems with the Israeli and Arab conflict. On November 2nd 1917 the Israel government formed the Balfour Declaration a declaration giving the Israelis a home in Israel. The Balfour Declaration deeply angered the Arabs. The Arabs did not want the Israelis to settle anywhere near them. The struggle to adjust to changes is another thing we all share in the human experience. The same thing happened with the conflict between the Tutsi and the Hutus in the Rwanda genocide. The Hutus and the Tutsi tribes struggled to get along because of they were not able to adjust to their differences. The Hutus and the Tutsi conflict ended up being committed on a horrible scale by the UN as the Rwanda Genocide, Eventually, The Israelis and the Arabs had to separate with a fence to protect from extremist on each side. Right now Israel remains as only one of the must populated Jewish state compared to 10 other Arab countries surrounding it. Not just the Arabs but the Nazis has also has had a diversity conflict with the Jews. The holocaust was one of the worst genocides ever in history. The holocaust killed more than 6 million Jews all because the Nazis did not tolerate the Jewish culture. If you were a Jew you either were stuck in a death camp like Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel who wrote his experience in the camp in a book called night or you would hide the fact that you were Jewish and live in hiding like Anne Franks experiences in The Diary of a young girl. Elie Wiesels speech in Auschwitz made Elie Wiesel so nervous he could not finish it. Conflict between diversity affects so many people. Bob Simon a survivor of the Rwanda Genocide experienced a near death experience of hiding in the bathroom for 3 months from a killer. All of these awful things all started from tolerance of diversity. One good thing in the human experience we all share is the sense of guilt. In Schindler’s List a normal guy who has nothing to do with the Jews saves a bunch of Jews from the horrible death camps by making them work for him. The sense of guilt can change someone in a positive way. Josephine a Rwanda Genocide survivor forgave the person who killed her brother. People also do not tolerate some diversity because of a risk of being in danger. The US advises people not to go into Nepal because of the risk of being in danger. The US also does not want people to adapt kids from Nepal because of the children not being healthy. So sometimes if another group feels something is going to cause danger to their life they may not want to around that type of environment. Overall, this world is full of diversity but we all have similar emotions. Some countries are open to diversity through immigration like Nepal and some are not. Even though we may seem different through are thoughts, culture, and environment, we all share the right of being a human being.
