Why do Farts Smell Bad?

Farts, or flatulence, may smell bad because they can contain sulfurous compounds. A large number of bacteria may also cause the unpleasant odor.

Flatulence contains nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. These are created by the fermentation of undigested foods such as bean skins and veegtable fiber. The hydrogen sulfide and other compounds (mercaptan, butyric acid and carbonyl sulfide) make the released gases smell bad.

Humans actually expel little methane compared to ruminants such as cows and sheep It's possible that the "bad" smell -- human's normal reluctance to deal with feces, etc. Is evolutionary. The individuals repelled by this remain healthier, etc (see related link).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
