Ender's Game human rights issue


I can't figure out what the main human rights issue of Ender's Game is. there's a lot of different issues covered in the book but I don't know which could be considered the main. I mean there's the issue of freedom imo but that's a very large covering issue. there's also genocide and... yeah so what do you think is the main human rights issue of that book, not necessarily either of the ones I mentioned? thanks

Answer 1

I agree with you that there is a lot of issues covered in the book so there could easily be more than one right answer! But I think Ender's last game with the video simulator is a pretty fundamental part because he hesitates before he destroys the planet, trying to see if there was another way. Also, the adults were nervous to see if he would really do that big move because it is pretty controversial. So with that, I agree that genocide is the main issue
