Never-ending Cycle

     The exploitation of the Navajo people by the United States to attain uranium necessary to fund weapon development needs is a way that the United States conducts its dirty business. Throughout the United State's campaign to propel the Manhattan Project forward, confidential information denied many people who took part in the project, directly and indirectly, the knowledge to make rational choices concerning their immediate and future health. It is sickening to know the US' capability of such atrocity.

     The Navajo people, who agreed to help mine minerals from within their own land for the United State's needs, were not informed of the hazard that the mined minerals, uranium, would contain high levels of life-threatening radiation. The country's methods of acquiring what it wants is a cycle that simply exploits until it can't be done anymore. This can be seen throughout history where a number of people, ranging from different classes to race, are dehumanized in ways that sets these people as exempt from the care that the rest of the population reaps. It is a cycle of destruction and healing, where past exploits are placed 'under the rug' and we as a country attempt to change regressive ways, only waiting for another regressive act to happen.
