Question

Sasha is writing an argumentative essay in support of the following thesis: Because violations of human rights, genocide, fanaticism, and terrorism continue to claim lives on nearly every continent, it is clear that the world has learned little from the horrors of the German death camps. She would like to find examples to support her argument. Which keywords would best lead her to useful sources for this kind of information?

a. concentration camps
b. Germany then and now
c. ethnic and political violence
d. keeping the peace

Answer 1

The thesis is a discussion about the general picture of the world's political situation in the lights of human rights. It doesn't only concern Germany. It is not about the concentration camps, as well. The latter is an example to cast light today's situation. Since, Sasha has to give examples, these examples are related to ethnic and political differences. The correct answer is C.
