    The document discusses several atrocities committed by humans throughout history, including the Holocaust where 6 million Polish citizens were killed, the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, and the enslavement of African Americans in the 1800s. While humans are capable of great cruelty, such as these events, the document also notes that people still perform small kind acts for one another. However, the concluding paragraph states that due to atrocities like the Holocaust and 9/11 committed solely for power and beliefs over lives, people must work to improve themselves or society will descend into anarchy.
