reflection #9 Part 7: Cambodian Genocide and Cultural Diversity


Yous Sopanha, a Cambodian tour guide, may seem happy but from inside he is deeply hurt because of his horrifying youth. He has lost many relatives to the minefields scattered across Cambodia. Before the peace, Cambodia was tormented and tortured by Pol Pot, the Cambodian murderer and he made a field know as the killing field. It was a field were Cambodian farmers, workers, families and children were taken there to be let out and watch them as they scatter themselves just to save their lives and reach for freedom and those who made it were shot down by the soldiers. An example of racism is when Martin Luther King Jr. tried to free the black community from the hands of the white man power and suffered and endured a lot just to help them.
