    Cambodian Killing Fields Research Paper

    People that lived during this time or family members of these Cambodians, now suffer from mental problems, disabilities, and injuries. These factors can account for the fact that poverty is a huge problem in Cambodia (Khmer Rouge History). Although Pol Pot is dead, other leaders are no longer around, and the war is over, Cambodia still suffers from violent crime, including banditry, armed robbery and kidnapping. Landmines are still in the ground and since 1979 nearly 200,000 people have lost their lives because of those landmines. It is estimated that it will take another 25 years to demine Cambodia. The country has slow economic growth and is tremendously behind other South East Asian Countries. It is the poorest, least developed country in Asia (Rennie, 2016). A country that went through all this destruction cannot recover in just a few years. A devastation this big is going to take multiple generations to fix and is going to need the help of other countries. It is unbelievable that Pol Pot and the rest of his government thought that this was okay on any standards. They took so many lives in such a short amount of time that the country had no hope for survival. We can only hope that history does not repeat…

    How Did The Khmer Rouge Cause A Genocide

    The Khmer Rouge era in Cambodia is seen as one of the most vicious acts of human cruelty in Southeast Asia. Not only did it cause a genocide in the nation, but its ripple effects are still felt throughout the region today. This essay will discuss the regime; it’s fall, the legacy that was left behind and finally how Cambodia is now today because of the era. The Khmer Rouge was the name given to the Communist followers and party of Kampuchea in Cambodia, which was formed in 1968. This brutal organisation is remembered throughout Cambodian history for its genocide of the Cambodian population after the enforcement of social engineering policies, which lead to the “killing fields” from 1975 – 1979.…

    Pol Pot's Legacy

    In the years of 1975 to 1979, Pol Pot became the head of the most murderous revolution of our time. His communist regime with the Khmer Rouge created one of the largest, yet greatly under-looked atrocities of the time. The genocide in his Democratic Kampuchea has created a death toll that could be as high as 3,000,000 people, or 25% of the country's population. (Chandler, 1999; Cambodia Genocide) In an attempt to refashion his country, "people were simply sacrificed to our struggle, not killed," as Pol Pot himself stated. (Pol Pot: Life of a Tyrant, 2000)…

    Comparison: The Rise And Fall Of Pol Pot

    He had just returned from a “labor battalion in the renegade Communist state of Yugoslavia”. His experience in Yugoslavia was exciting to say the least. The country was banding together in preparation for a potential Soviet invasion; everywhere, roads, factories, railroads, and hydraulic centers were being built. This was Sar’s first introduction to large scale social mobilization and public works. At the point it was at, Yugoslavia appeared to be a country filled with hope, possibilities, industrialization, and unity; Yugoslavia was a positive example of what communism could do for a country. The exciting transformations that were occurring in Yugoslavia were most certainly an impact on Saloth Sar’s views of communism and the potentials it could offer Cambodia and the Khmer people. Saloth Sar desired to see a change in his country and society because he felt that the oppression and injustices his people were subject to was a crime of French Imperialism and the monarchy. He believed that his country would be able to prosper once these two factors were taken out of the political equation. Sar desired to build Cambodia’s economy as well as institute individual liberties. Saloth Sar formally joined the French Communist Party in 1952 before he returned to…

    The History of Cambodia and its Development

    In between Thailand, Laos and Vietnam sits the country of Cambodia. Their early history is unrecorded but most Cambodians consider themselves descendants of the Angkor Empire that stretched most of Southeast Asia. Under constrain threats to invade by Thailand and Vietnam, the king of France placed Cambodia under France’s protection in 1963. This only lasted until 1953 when they gained full independence from France after the occupation of the Japanese during World War II.…

    Role of Ngo in Environmental Management

    In wider usage, the term NGO can be applied to any non profiting organization which is independent from the government. NGOs are typically value based organizations which depend, in whole or in part, on charitable donations and voluntary service. Although theNGO sector has become increasingly professional over the last two decades, principles of altruism and voluntarism remain key defining characters. NGOs range in their size and scope from large charities as CARE, OXFAM, World Vision of global fame to regional, national and community based self help groups. They include research centres, religious institutions and professional associations. Based on their functioning NGOs can be divided in two distinct categories.…
