Robinson, Simon. “The Front Lines of Genocide.” __Time__ 30 April 2006. This article just gives some general information about the Genocide in Sudan. The killings are still continue and are more brutal and 2.5 million people have been displaced. This article also talks about the people of Darfur need more aid in order to survive and how no one has tried to stop these mass killings. This article will help understand the Genocide in Sudan and how it relates to the sociological perspective. This can be related to the global perspective because it will help us to realize that problems we face in the US aren’t as serious as problems like in the Sudan.

Burton, John W. “Development and Cultural Genocide in the Sudan.” 511-520. __JSTOR.__ Cambridge University Press. Springfield Township High School Library. 30 April 2009.  This article has to do how the Genocide in Darfur has a lot to do with culture and how it developed. The Sudanese government is trying to destroy the traditional culture of the Darfur people. This can also relate to the sociological perspective through social crisis. If we access the problem happening in Darfur, it can lead to social change, giving the Darfurians people a regular life.

Kristof, Nicholas. “Attacked, Expelled, Ignored.” __New York Times. Historical__ __Newspapers.__ Springfield Township High School Library. 7 May 2009.  This article is about where the genocide is taken place is perfect for the Sudanese government to get away with it. It also talks about general information about the Genocide in Sudan. I think the author’s intended audience is for anyone that can read because he wants to spread awareness of this horrible genocide. This is related to my thesis because it gives information on the geography in this region and also gives some background information.
