3. Karen’s Secret
Since 1949, the Karen people of Burma have been fighting for independence from Burma – and their struggle shows no signs of abating. Throughout this turbulent history, Rangoon’s junta regime has used murder, rape, forced labour and torture to suppress their enemies; yet the Karen have never given up hope of regaining their land and rightful place within society.
Daniel Pedersen’s Secret Genocide: Voices of the Karen of Burma (Cornell University Press) delves into this long-running armed conflict and its impact. Drawing upon years of research among Karen people living in refugee camps in Thailand, this scholarly work is essential reading for students interested in Burma and ethnic conflicts throughout Southeast Asia.

4. Karen’s Job
Karen society has traditionally seen women as inferior or subservient to men and is encouraged to adhere to rigid gender roles. Women are expected to do a lot of physical labor, hunt for animals and prepare meals at home; however they are often excluded from family and community decision making processes.
Thankfully, there are numerous positive developments taking place to address this problem. Women now have greater access to education and can assume greater responsibilities within their communities. They’re even starting to play an increasingly important role in health care with female Karen doctors working hard to spread vital medical knowledge that saves lives. These advancements provide hope and inspiration for the entire Karen community – let’s hope they continue improving! The next time someone uses Karen as a slur remember that Karen represents progress rather than failure.
5. Karen’s Favorite Place to Screw in a Light Bulb
Karen prefers screwing in light bulbs at the back of a fixture, since it’s easier to access. I’ve done that with timers before and it worked great! It’s an excellent way to practice language skills and stimulate creative thought!

7. Karen’s Favorite Place to Get Sick
On your initial visit to Karen’s General Store, she asks you to accompany her out to the lake. While there, you spot a fluffy rabbit she wants you to pet; so, following suit and holding it for her. Additionally, Karen has been slitting her wrists and bleeding into the water – evidence of depression which she wishes kept private so as not to embarrass you, you don’t mention this fact.
Thankfully, you are well enough to help her deliver orders at her store. After all, Jeff ordered 3 cases of wine for her to sell – making the effort worthwhile! Plus, there’s only one person who could’ve missed it, so having extra hands is always appreciated! It was such a thoughtful gift from you both!
8. Karen’s Favorite Book
Karens are passionate bookworms, with their library reflecting their love of literature. While Karens enjoy a good thriller novel, they also appreciate some lighthearted fun. One of their favorite pastimes is playing musical instruments and taking in movies. What sets Karens apart is their generous spirit – especially towards children and grandchildren. Furthermore, Karens possess remarkable manners as well as being surprisingly tolerant towards others’ misdeeds, often showing patience when needed.
