Why Genocide Occurs

I think that genocide keeps happening because of the fact that people of a different race think that they are the best ones and nobody is better than them. I'm not saying that everyone is like that, but maybe there are people out there who are and have the power to do what has been done before in the past. I really dont think that we can do anything to stop genocide except to keep writing about what has happen in the past so history doesn't repeat itself. Just like Night and all of the other books about the holocaust and etc.

so much to do!

Okay so I'm in my second semester right now and i have so much work to do. I feel like i dont have enough time to finish everything. We have five readings due for mythology due by tomorrow, and i have about 200 pages to read for psychology due in a week. It's not exactly hard, but it requires so much time. Aside from all that, I still have three other classes and I dont know how I'm going to be able to manage all of this. Also, I hate the fact that I am the commuter because everyday I come to school and I have to wait for the shuttle bus which takes forever to come, with the 2 degree weather we have here at Montclair.
I actually read Night in middle school and really liked it and I still do up to this point. I think that this book is going to help history not repeat itself. The book kept me intrested throughout the whole time and didn't bore me. It included so much detail that it went by so fast while I was reading it. Since this is a true story, I liked it even more because now we know what people had to go through during the holocaust which wasn't even that long ago.

Who i am and my goals

I'm Juhi, I'm from Parsippany, New Jersey and I'm a commuter. My major is psychology and I'm planning on getting a B.A from MSU. I am also aiming for a Ph.D in psychology. Some of the things that I do a lot would be dancing, and spending time with my friends and family. My goal for this class is to actually start having fun while reading books, since im not really fond of reading. Also, another goal would be to become better at critical reading since that is the main reason I am in this class today.
