IV. Essay Writing: 20 points
Please write a well-organized essay with at least 200 words to comment on part of the speech, “The Peril of Indifference,” delivered by Elie Wiesel in 1999.
“Of course, indifference can be tempting — more than that, seductive. It is so much easier to look away from victims. It is so much easier to avoid such rude interruptions to our work, our dreams, our hopes. It is, after all, awkward, troublesome, to be involved in another person’s pain and despair. Yet, for the person who is indifferent, his or her neighbors are of no consequence. And, therefore, their lives are meaningless. Their hidden or even visible anguish is of no interest. Indifference reduces the other to an abstraction”.
