Genocide
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic
destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic,
racial, religious, or national group.
This means that trying to harm or destroy a
people based on their backgrounds or beliefs.
Classification
Cultures are always viewed as ‘us’
and ‘them’. Areas without a mixture of
different groups are more likely to
have genocide.
To prevent or fix this issue, it is
necessary to find common ground,
such as a national language or similar
beliefs.
Symbolization
Giving names, items that must be
wore, or tattoos that distinguish them
to be their religion or background by
visually looking at them.
Dehumanization
When a group of people considers
another group of people to be
anything less than human, or
comparing them to animals.
Hate propaganda is printed and hate
radio stations slander the particular
group of people.
Organization
Genocide is always organized, either
by the government, terrorists or
another group.
They train militias and start plans for
the genocide procedure.
Polarization
Government or militias drive the group
of people apart, forbidding marriage
and killing young children.
Laws put into effect forbidding visas to
leave the country to escape.
Identification
Victims are forced into ghettos,
concentration camps, or areas with
extreme famine and/or drought.
Death lists are drawn up, at this point
a Genocide Alert must be called.
Extermination
Mass killing, called extermination to
the killers because they do not believe
their victims are humans.
When sponsored by the state, armies
work with militias to perform killings.
Denial
Killers dig up graves. Burn bodies and
evidence of there ever being a
genocide.
Deny anyone was killed or blame it on
the victims themselves.
