Pope Francis uses 'genocide' to refer to mass killings of Armenians by Turks

Pope Francis call mass killing of Armenians a genocide, thus angering Turks.Turkey called for  the ambassador from the Vatican for a meeting. Gursoy says that the Pope's use of the word "genocide" was bare boned one sided insult towards the Turks.

• Pope insulting Turks
• Pope sympathizing with Armenians
• Turks angry at Pope's insult
• Armenians indifferent

My thoughts on this issue are one sided also. I am not religious but I find no reason even for Pope to even talk on these topics. The Pope shouldn't care really, I understand that the Pope is supposed to stay relevant but still he shouldn't be insulting any of the peoples of any countries.  This topic probably affects religious people or the Turks themselves.

Abolitionist and Women's Movements

Women's and Black rights.

Both Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott share similarities in their views. For example, all three of these people, or both of these movements illustrate the desire for rights to be given. In Frederick's case he wants for Black people to be free and be able to do anything that the white man can do. The Women's rights movement also wants right but they want women to have all of the rights that men have. Both of these movements also desperately desire for the people they represent to be independent, Frederick Douglass wants black people to be independent of the white man, and the women want to be independent from their husbands.
