I recently read an article about Madagascar. I never really realized how different,  people live in different places of the world. This article was titled, "26 Dead In Madagascar Violence". Right away, before I even read the article I was thinking, wow if something like that happened in America, it would be such a big deal. Then I read it, and it's a short article about a shooting that killed 26 people during an anti-government rally. Just when I thought that was the worst part. I read why they were actually rallying. It was because the mayor, Andry Rajoelina, declared himself the Indian Ocean island nation's leader and killed at least 80 people and wounded more than 300. That is a huge amount of people hurt.It just goes to show how different their culture is from ours. How huge of  deal this would of been if it happened here, but for Madagascar. It's just another headline. Just another day.
