Our hypocritical country needs to face up to its own deeds before it can truly help others that suffer the same problem. Once we understand the WHY we can fix the problem - when we understand WHY we killed all the native americans, we will have a better understanding of WHY these people are killing someone too. And then we will be in a better position to do something about it.
But awesome paper nonetheless :) I'm sure it'll get an A!
