The Perils of Indifference

1) The Perils of Indifference in my perspective means that being ignorant to evil can be worse than the actual source of evil itself. Example being any sort of genocide or human massacre throughout history. The Holocaust wouldn't of occurred or been as bad if more people would of stood up and changed the way Germany was.

2) What you learn when you grow up and what you are surrounded by is what you grow up to know. In "The Lottery" at a certain point in the year the whole town stones someone to death simply based on a coloured dot on a piece of paper that you pick.In history alone there is many comparable situations to this. In the movie "Taken" a young girl goes to Europe with her best friend and they both get kidnapped into the sex trafficking circle. Throughout the world there is many sex trafficking rings and its a very underground business but the things that are done to the women who are taken into it are horrifying. This circle of terror could easily be stopped if someone we're to realize how wrong they are being. It takes a lot of workers for this to happen and work properly in the movie it shows the people who are "attractors" and than the people that pay to have sessions with the females and than the business men who buy and trade the women. Even the people who are going in to have sessions with the women are apart of this horrible event. Also in the movie it showed that the people working in the airport and bus depot new what was going and who the attractors were. Without anyone standing up or doing anything more women and girls will be taken each year and put into a sex trafficking world.


3) In both texts the link that I noticed was that they are both showing how being ignorant is equal to being the ring leader. In "Perils of Indifference" they talk about many of the political events that have happened and how it could of been different and in "The Lottery" in the end it surprises us with the whole town stoning someone to death and the townsfolk being so humble about it. Ignorance is no excuse , watching evil happen is just as harmful and it can spin out into massacre just like the holocaust.
