Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card:
War and Genocide are realities that are difficult to understand. Oftentimes, the beginnings of these terrible events are the separation of “them” and “us.” It is the presentation of “the other.” Those who act or think differently than ourselves. Ender’s Game is unique among alien vs. human science fiction novels in that it raises deep ethical questions about the nature of “the other.” This book helps the youth of today gain an understanding of the inherent dangers of generalizing any group of people. The danger in creating “the other.”
