defying genocide

As events unfolded, what were Damas Gisimba's concerns?
his concerns were based on the welfare of the people in the orphanage, mostly to find water for all of the children when they were in a hot dry place. He then worried about the militias that were coming to the orphanage. These were more than likely to kill all of the children, but didn’t.
1) What role did the international community play during the genocide?
i believe that if they took part it was minimal or nothing at all
2) Does the international community have the responsibility of assisting countries threatened by genocide?
i opine that someone should be in charge of it and who better than a powerful aliance between countries.
3) How can students get involved and make their voices heard against genocide?
any student can get involved with this by making the situation known or spreading knowledge and when many people follow this student it becomes more known and on and on.
Have you ever witnessed an incident by which a bystander took the responsibility of offering assistance to someone in need of help? What happened?
no
When someone needs help, do bystanders have the responsibility to offer assistance? What do bystanders risk when they intervene and when they do not get involved?
i think that helping is the right thing but one cant really help without knowing facts about who or what their defending

  1. your last answer is kind of confusing because yes helping a person may be the right thing to do; but if you are going to help is because you have the will to do it, no matter who the person is or what he has done. Although, in an emergeny, you won't have time to investigate the person, you'll just react at that moment.
