Unworthy Jewelry

There has been times throughout history when society participates in a cycle that encourages conflict to occur. Conflict Diamonds have caused people to enslave and slaughter other people for wealth. As we purchase these diamonds, we think at times these diamonds would show our loved ones how much we love them. Some use these diamonds as a way to make themselves look rich. However, if people of the world sit back and do research on how many people died from these diamonds, maybe they would not purchase them. Ask yourself, Is purchasing a diamond worth having life taken or a limb from a human body removed.
My name is Jolyon O.C. Greene and I attend Auburn University. This blog is posted to encourage consumers to stop purchasing diamonds. It maybe confusing because not all diamonds are conflict diamonds. However, most of the diamonds that are brought into America have caused lives to be destroyed. Would you like to have your arm cut off or your life taken just so another human could make themselves look rich? I encourage everyone to read this blog and hopefully learn something from it. That way maybe you can spread the word and save a life.
