She is my first niece and her name is Julieta. Furthermore, she is two years old and she is my brother’s daughter. Although I do not see her too much, I am always asking about her and what is she doing because I really care about her. I took that picture when it was my sister´s birthday and we were celebrating it in my house. In the picture she is holding a blue teddy bear and she has it since she was born and she can´t be without it. Also she still uses her pacifier because it helps her to calm down.

Take the Rwandan genocide for example, the numerous accounts taken from survivors of how their neighbours, the ones they used to have cook outs with, watch children and share stories,  were the same neighbours they ended up killing in cold blood with their own two hands. Is the line we used to think between good and evil not as impermeable as we once thought? If we were put into the same situation would we do the same as those survivors? As much as we would all like to reject the idea of doing something so horrendous, we might be wrong by doing so. Dehumanization... we all do it even if we don’t try to. It’s in part how the guards in the Standford Prision Experiment (run by Phil Zambardo), were capable of torturing and mistreating the prisoners in the experi
