I believe that Jack was right in saying, "If people see this footage, they'll say 'Oh my God, that's horrible,' and then they'll go on eating their dinners." This occurs every single day in all of our lives. People see terrible things on the news but hardly anyone ever reacts to this news by trying to help. Many think that they cannot make a difference because he or she is just one person. I believe that even if governments saw this news they would hesitate to become involved because it is such a dangerous situation and there are so many risks.
I think I would try to get people to help by raising awareness in my school and community. Most movements in history have started by simple and small movements. My hope would be that raising this awareness could in turn raise money for support. I think that this would also be beneficial to helping the victims of the Rwanda genocide. Another way I could get involved is to create petitions or a movement to have our government negotiate the French and their funding of the armies in Rwanda.
Unfortunately I believe that Jack had a valid point. However, I do have faith and hope in the people of our world that some would at least attempt to help if this were to happen again.
