Genocide Across the World.
As soon as you click the "Who's At Risk" link, the first think you see are brief descriptions on six different countries' and the genocide that has taken place there. Unfortunately, those six countries are just the feature stories for these gruesome crimes. Massive amounts of genocide take place everyday, and some genocide groups are larger than ever. By intervening, we'll not only begin the process of creating allies, but enemies as well. Enemies that, we as a country, can't afford. The amount of enemies the United States already has is substantial.When put in prospective, the negatives of getting involved in Genocide world wide, out-weight the benefits to The United States of America. I know it sounds selfish, but if we want to grow and evolve as a country, then we have to do what's best for us.

- When his former trainer, Joe Gould, calls his and offers him a "one time only fight" for some money, he couldn't refuse.
- One fight turns into two, and two fights turns into three. Braddock was on a role, and was now being paid to train.
- Even though money is now good, Braddock's wife fears for her husbands well being.
- Eventually, his fighting takes him to the championship fight against Max Baer, the most feared man in the ring. He has killed to men during a fight before.
- Now more than ever, Mrs. Braddock pleads with her husband to not take the fight, but he can't refuse. The locals have seen him as a hero and an inspiration. The last thing he could do is let them, & his kids, down.
- The fight of the century is neck in neck, and continues for many rounds & no one is K.O'ed.
- Finally, the the judges rule that James Braddock is the winner.
