Kenley Turner 3rd period- Nearly 19,000 civilians killed in Iraq in 21 month period, report says

summery: In Iraq, several people have been killed for various reasons regaurding ISIS. over 3500 people have been taken into slavery, and being worked to death and/or starved. Children are being stolen from their homes and being trained to join the ISIS military at a very young age. Women are being held captive for sex slavery, and are being killed for refusal of sex, or being raped. Several of these punishments are extremely severe, including stoning and amputation. Experts say that the only way we can stop ISIS is if we join together (the world) to put an end to it.

Analysis: It seems as though ISIS is reverting back to what europeans accepted a few hundred years ago. As punishment, European countries such as England and France, would decapitate people, and now it is considered tabboo. Although, the European technology for decapitations was better, it was nonetheless, the same form of punishment. America took children into the work force durring the gilded age, and basically used kids in sweat shops in order to save money, locking them in the factories. And it seems that men still force women into sex, even here in America, when they are not given conscent. Germany and France went through periods when they thought they could take over the world as well. These ideas are not completely new or tabboo, were just appalled that it is happening in 2016.
