3. Create your own wiki page with your **wiki name** and the right you have selected as the title. Explore options for the design, layout and appearance of your page and select features that appeal to you and that you think will help to enhance your topic. Be sure to save your changes. Go back and place a link to your wiki page underneath your entry on the Class Student Topic page.

4. **__Research your topic and compose the following:__**

2. A description of the motivation(s) behind these actions, (eg. what those in power hoped to gain by depriving these individuals of their rights), what actions were taken in order to enforce these violations and what the immediate effect was on the people who were victimized, and how those victimized responded. Also include a description of the long-term effects of this human rights violation on the people involved (opressors and victims), on their society and on their region (where applicable).

C. Your personal response to the events you have described, whether you feel this situation could repeat itself again and why, and how it might be prevented in the future.
