What is the conflict and how are

they dehumanised?
Conflict that prevails in
dehumanising individuals is the
stripping of their human rights and
causing them to live in a nonliberated sense. This is usually shown
by the more powerful individuals or
groups who thrust law thats a
population must follow, or simply by
torturing and sexually abusing them
and eradicating their sense of

How do readers feel?

This makes the readers feel pathos,
sadness and empahy towards those
who have had their human rights
violated and Megan Stack explores
this concept deeply in her chapter 2
Chasing the Ghosts where the
women were oppressed due to the
take over of Afghanistan via the
Taliban, enforcing new rules and
regulations

Dehumanisation
Human rights violation in Abu Ghraib Began in

Personal of US army committed a series of human
rights violations against detainees in the Abu
ghraib prison in Iraq

made that secretory of defence Donald Rumsfeld
had authorised the actions.
American soldiers violated the human rights and
dehumanised their enemieis

soldiers in the Abu Ghraib prison
The Mexican soldiers were also
dehumanised in the process as We
cannot hurt another human being
without leaving a scar on ourselves

Maintenance of humanity as a
response to conflict (Epilogue)
Its possible for individuals to maintain a clear sense
of humanity after being conflicted
Raheems son got killed. U.S. soldiers shot him in
the chest
He was fifty years old, ready to pick up and start
from scratch all over again
All of and he was still chasing this maeger dream;
to live in peace and earn enough money to support
his family
Although the US took his son, he still doesnt blame
the Americans and doesnt seek redemption as he
maintains a clear sense of humanity
