The point of this class

For a good portion of this class I believed we were learning about the atrocities that mankind has perpetrated so we could better understand what it has taken for us to get here today. It seemed to me that learning about the Holocaust, Rwandan Genocide, and the Armenian Genocide was taught to us so we could learn the cruelty and brutality of human kind. But after thinking about what I want to get from this class it has little to with that. The point of this class is to understand why and what drove people to do such things in order for us to learn, fix, and become better as people from these events. I have learned to become aware, to stand up, and to think deeper into the future of events that may effect me in and my kids, as well as understand and forgive what people have done in the past.
