Social 20-1


I went over some potential arguments for your Unit 3 WRA II at the beginning of class. You still have a lot of work to do, but hopefully I've given you some ideas to explore and develop in greater detail. We also looked at the issue of international inaction in the case of Darfur. I gave you a reading package on violence in Darfur (which is recommended reading tonight) which nicely summarizes the problems in Sudan. Also, we started watching a documentary called "Darfur: On Our Watch" which we will finish on Thursday. You will be writing your Unit 3 WRA II tomorrow during class time in Room 241, be on time!

Here are some other useful links on Darfur:
