Research Question

Child Soldiers in Sierra Leone:

What is the worlds response to child soldiers in Sierra Leone?

To find the answer(s) to this I will have to learn where the idea originated from, who or whom developed the idea and started it, what the child soldiers are used for and why they are better at those tasks than adults would be, whether or not anything has been done in Sierra Leone about this, whether or not anything outside Sierra Leone has been done about it such as the UN, charities, etc.

I want to research blood diamonds in Sierra Leone. This topic is interesting to me because I had never heard of this issue and then I watched the movie Blood Diamonds and thought it was really interesting, but I never looked into it. Now I would like to further research this topic and learn more about it, and I think that since diamonds are a part of many cultures that we all can learn about it and help or maybe even prevent the atrocities that happen in the cultivation of diamonds. The book I'm going to look at for this Blood Diamonds: Tracing the Deadly Path of the Worlds Most Precious Stones. Also, there is a song about blood diamonds and the movie.
