A few students brought up the issue of the crisis of the Rohingya ethnic group in Myanmar. At this point, many Rohingya refugees are making their way into Chittagong, Bangladesh. Some of you may not know about this or even where these countries are or the circumstances behind this matter.

The matter of Historical Perspective is illustrated in this story. The Rohingya, appear to be persecuted and are fleeing for their safety, but the Myanmar government sees things differently.
