    After the Holocaust, the United Nations declared genocide an international crime. The United Nations said that it would be a crime to do any of the following actions committed with intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. Normal and sane human beings get persuaded for commit acts of genocide they were taken from their homes, briefly jailed and tortured, then hanged or shot.

  5. Darfur is a region in Sudan. It is home to about 6 million people from nearly 100 tribes. Some nomads. Some farmers. All Muslims. General Omar Bashir took control of Sudan by military force which then allowed The National Islamic Front government to inflame regional tensions. In a struggle for political control of the area, weapons poured into Darfur. Conflicts increased between African farmers and many nomadic Arab tribes.
    completely normal people can get persuaded to do these kinds of things by how they were raised, a dramatic event, or what place of power they are in .

  6. The term "genocide" did not exist before 1944. It is a very specific term, referring to violent crimes committed against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group.

    i feel that the people that commit a genocide are not right in the head because they were brainwashed by a higher power.

    in Cambodia Khmer Rouge took control of the Cambodian government in 1975, they declared the beginning of a new age dedicated to a peasant-oriented society. Instead, after outlawing education, religion, healthcare and technology, the Khmer Rouge ordered the evacuation of At the same time, the Khmer Rouge began to target suspected political dissidents. These citizens, including doctors, teachers and those suspected of being educated were singled out for torture at the notorious Tuol Sleng prison. In four years, between 1.7 and 2 million Cambodians died in the Khmer Rouge’s ‘Killing Fields.

Genocide is when someone tries to discriminate a certain group, race, or religion.Europeans genocide of over 100 million Natives, but it occurred over a long period of time. the european genocide was crazy because although it was a long period of time, over 100 million people died. thats more than nine times the amount of people that died in the holocaust.

      That is really sad, but I wonder why they would focus on healthcare and technology. I don't know much about it but I don't see how it could be particularly bad. As for the technology I can see why some diehard religious people might see it as something that goes against their way of life but I didn't know they could be so strict about it.
      I can see the religious freedom and education though, if someone was really stuck in their ways then they might not agree, like or respect anybody who thought differently.

  14. Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.

    Most people only think of WWII when they hear the term “genocide”, but there have been several others in history. One of these genocides was and is in Darfur, Sudan. Darfur is home to racially mixed tribes of settled peasants, who identify as African, and nomadic herders, who identify as Arab. The majority of people in both groups are Muslim. The situation is very complicated but it can be summarized in brief. Government neglect has left the people throughout Sudan poor and voiceless. In February 2003, the non-Arab ethnic groups of Darfur launched an uprising against the Kartoum government. The government responded by implementing their campaign of genocide, enlisting the help of Arab militia in Darfur called the Janjaweed. The dispute is racial, not religious: Muslim Arab Sudanese are killing Muslim black Sudanese. Up to 400,000 people have died due as a result of direct attacks and conflict induced malnutrition and disease. The vast majority of these have been women, children and civilian men. More than 3 million people have been displaced and are living in IDP camps. More than 350,000 people are deprived of humanitarian support due to the threat of attack faced by aid workers. Thousands starve each month due to the Sudanese government impeding humanitarian aid efforts. 4 million Darfuri residents are dependent on limited international humanitarian assistance.

    Personally, I think that these “sane” people were never sane at all. They had acted normal all their lives only to be snapped by something, say a leader, or a personal tragedy, or maybe because they just think its right. These people can go lifetimes without changing into insane freaks that think its ok to kill somebody. They can go their whole lives without even knowing they were insane, they just didn't “activate”. These acts of genocide make me sick and I really hope it doesn't happen again.

    1. Rewrite of the second paragraph:

      In Darfur, Sudan, a genocide has a occurred against the native farmers and citizens. Most of the these people are in fact Muslims. In February of 2003, The government launched "Janjaweed", a group of militia, on the citizens. About 400,000 people have died due to attacks and disease. Many of these people were citizens who had no part of the fighting. (http://www.unitedhumanrights.org/genocide/genocide-in-sudan.htm).

  16. Genocide is, the deliberate killing of a large group of people. The haitian massacre was an example of a massacre. It happened when an attempt to rid Haiti of its white population, Jean-Jacques Dessalines led a massacre between February and April of 1804, resulting in the deaths of up to 5,000 French Creoles of all ages and genders. According to Dessalines, the massacre was an attempt to preserve the nation. By 1805, only non-whites were legally allowed to own land or be considered citizens of Haiti. It was a horrible time for Haitians everywhere.

  17. Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of, in whole or in part of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national groups.The Soviet Union was responsible for campaigns against many people groups during its existence. The Holodomor was an intentional famine caused by the Soviet government confiscating the whole harvest of 1933 in the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and elsewhere, leaving the peasantry with no food to feed themselves. As many as ten million people starved to death across the Soviet Union as a result, the majority of them in Ukraine. This was called the holodomor.

  24. Genocide is the killing of a large group of people. They would have been killed because of their race, religion, nationality, etc. An example of this is when Armenian from Turkey were killed or deported from their home between 1915-1918.

This would make the person want to do it again for the fun of it.

    My definition of genocide is when a band of people try to wipe out or murder another because of their way of life, religion, race, views/opinions or any other reason.

    A definition supplied by Google/Wiki is 'Genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction of, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group'

    An example of genocide other then the Holocaust is the Armenian Genocide. I happened mostly between 1915 to 1918. It was started by the political party that was in power. After it was over further mistreatment of them in 1920 to 1923 was carried out by Turkish nationalists. The genocide took place in Ottoman Empire. During the genocide they tried to totally exterminate the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire.


    I think that normal and sane people get persuaded to support or commit acts of genocide because of words. If someone who can speak eloquently enough and persuade even a small number of people into believing in everything he/she says then more will follow. If the speaker says the right words in the right way and has some kind of proof to back it up, even if it is weak and doesn't mean anything, then eventually people will also start believing it. The proof could be something as simple as merely stating that someone is different and therefore shouldn't be allowed to live. As long as the speaker is eloquent enough enough then people will start to believe his/her words.

    If it is something as big as the idea to exterminate a big group of people then convincing a few people and then impress it on children so they grow up in that mindset they will stubbornly believe it. With the kids growing up believing it then even if not many of the adults do then the speaker would still have lots of supporters. It would be like being told to stay away from wild animals when you were a kid, to young to understand why. When your that young you wouldn't question it and trust the person who told you that it was dangerous or wrong in some way. As you grow up with that rule it can effect your judgement on wild animals, you might think them dangerous just because you know that if you touch them it's wrong. When you get older the rule doesn't change but you learn the reasons behind it, the animal you kill or hurt you if it's aggressive or if they think you pose as a threat. You continue believing that all throughout your life, knowing that going up to wild animals and touching them is bad. Only in this case it would be being told that a certain kind of people is bad and you believe it because you are to young to question it. You grow up with it and judge those people, you think of them like you were told to. When you are old enough to start having your own opinions on it or start asking why you would easily accept the weak reasons because you have already judged those people and now just need a reason for it.

  33. Genocide is the mass murder of a group or race of people. Another example of genocide was Armenian genocide. This example of genocide took place from around 1915 to 1918 and was the first genocide of the 20th century. Around two million Armenians of Turkey were forced out of their homeland. There were massacres and deportations in attempt to complete the genocide. This example of genocide took place at the three crossroads of the continents Europe Asia and Africa. Normal and sane humans get into the acts of genocide by extreme nationalism under the rule of their country. People are trained to believe their race is superior and anybody else was insignificant.

  34. Genocide is the mass killing of any race, gender, age or any other group. One type of genocide other than the holocaust was in Arnenia. This took Place at the beggining of 1915 and killed more then 1 million ethnic armenians, assyrians and greeks. I think that completely normal people create a genocide because they get to carried away with their power. They think what they are doing is helping their country but in reality it is hurting it and killing millions of innocent people.

  37. the Armenian Genocide, or harmful actions taken against the rights of people belonging to a certain group of people, was the mass execution of the armenian population. dating back to 1915, the ottoman empire deported and executed armenian citizens of their own nation. the population was about 2 million people and in just three years, half of the people were executed.
    by 1923, nearly the entire armenian population was dead. during this time, the ottoman empire was ruled by the Turks who treated the Armenians as second class citizens. The Turk culture was more warlike rather than Christian based system such as the Armenians. the actions taken by the Turks was much like the holocaust. Restrictions were set up and they were denied their rights as humans. the cruelty finally ended when the republic of turkey took over and equalized the rights of the people. Unfortunately, by this time the Armenian population was already perished

  38. Genocide is the killing of a race/group of people. It could be based on beliefs or anything.
    One example of a genocide is our history is Armenia. The government of the Ottoman Empire ordered the killing of ethnic Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks and to be sent to concentration camps where they soon died of diesease, etc. This happened at the beginning of 1915 and lasted for about 8 years.
    Normal people can be talked in to causing acts of genocide from strong leaders. When people are desperate or looking for an answer to their problems they can fall for these beliefs and soon be involved in terrible things. The spread is from peer pressure, thinking something is right just because other people do it too.

  39. i agree with Cha cha in the sense that you need a leader to create a genocide. people follow the leader and will do almost anything he tells them to do. just one persons opinion can affect an entire nation and cause them to do thing they would not normally do such as murder. the leader has a huge influence on the people of his nation and without him, the nation would have no reason and genocides would not occur.

  40. Genocide is the mass killing of a large group of people which is typically a certain race of people. One genocide that happened in the USSR was by Joseph Stalin. It happened in 1932-1939. About 6,000,000 people were killed from a famine. Joseph Stalin planned to not supply Ukraine with things they needed to keep Ukraine under control. As a result about 6,000,000 people died. I believe that normal people who help create horrible genocides do this because they are afraid. They are afraid to rebel, or they're own lives would be taken.

  43. acording to dictionary.com Genocide is "The delibrate sytematic extermination of a nation,culture,or race". I think that the definition should include that it is mainly started by a countries or group leader, and naturaly others just follow the leaders taking no longer than one second to think about what they are doing. In Sudan their goverment sent milita troops called Janjaweed to attack the people of Darfur. The Sudan goverment did this because of tensions in their country. The People of Darfur were having issues with the nomadic Arab and the Suadan's goverment said kill them and the janaweed came in killing the farmers who could not fight back and the ones that could. Millions lost there homes. Acording to the Genicideindarfur.com over 100 people die a day. I think people get convinced just based on small things like prejudice and small conflict and then the goverment just decides to let it grow out of control.

    completely normal and sane people get persuaded to commit acts of genocide by threatening to kill. the genocide was mostly killing. according to http://endgenocide.org/learn/ they said: genocide and mass atrocities and providing measures of justice to survivors is essential for creating peace and preventing future genocides. according to http://www.unitedhumanrights.org/genocide/genocide-in-sudan.htm they said in darfur it is home to 6 million people of 100 tribes. sudan was attacked and over 400 villagers were destroyed and millions were forced to leave their home and In the genocide African farmers and others in darfur are being displaced and murdered. from http://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts
    5 things the genocide people did were
    (1) killing members of the group.
    (2) causing serious mental harm to members of the group.
    (3) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
    (4) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.
    (5) forcibly transferring children of one group to another group.

  47. Genocide is the mass killing of a certain group of people, whether it be by race or by religion, it is still happening today. Besides the Holocaust, there are other examples of genocide in place today. An example of this would be in Darfur, Sudan, where the Sudan government began killing innocent people in their own country since 2005. Many groups have stood up against the government, but only made the government more angry, and they soon released the Janjaweed, a giant force of militias who carry out the wishes of the government, which is genocide of their own people. These innocent people came come to idea of genocide fairly easily. In times of crisis, these people look for leaders who can save them from it, such as Hitler. They carry out the leader's plans no matter what they might be, such as the genocide of the Jewish people.

  48. Genocide is the killing of a certian race, religion, of culture.
    why we should end Genocide: We should end Genocide because it is not humanly right. It is very much inhumane actions. It is not right to take the lifes of innocent people due to racism. our respect should e dedicated out to everyone no matter what religion, not just to our own race. American farmers are commenting with snide rearks just because of religion. Honestly, it is not right for us of Americans to do. I find it 100 percent rude and wrong. Today, I am absolutely proud to say that these actions of the past are now illegal. The fight agaist racism is on.

  50. Genocide is the elimination of a specific race or group of people. This happened between April and June 1994 between the communities hutu and tutsis. within the 100 days there were an estimated 800,000 Rwandans killed. The genocide was started by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a hutu. he was killed when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport. this happened on April 6, 1994.the bodies of tutsis were thrown into rivers. the killers of the tutsis said that the tutsis were being sent back to Ethiopia. although the two ethnic groups were actually very similar. they speak the same language, follow the same traditions and they live in the same area. the completely normal and sane human beings were getting persuaded to commit acts of genocide by being brain washed and even pier pressured into it. they were being told that it was the right thing to do.

    genocide means a huge mass killing of a cultural or racial group

    The event that i researched was the genocide in Darfur. The genocide in Darfur referred to the Muslims and farmers and nomads in Darfur. in 1989 general omar took over Dufar. which caused tons of problems. he killed 400,000 people and displaced 2,500,000 people.
    Sudan was scared for the people in Dufar

    because human beings think differently then others. some think we should have a perfect race, some think just because your skin is different or your religion isn't the same as theirs they think that they should be what they are.

  53. Genocide in my own words is the mass murder of a large population and culture. Another case was in Darfur Sudan, in 2003 and still today. The partisapant were the Arib militias. The people who do this only because they are ether forced to do it or they feel they are doing something good for their countrie.

  54. genocide means the killing of a large group of people just because of what their back round.in 1915 leaders of the Turkish government sent people out to kill Americans living in the ottoman empire. completely normal people can become completely insane because their leaders give them an order to kill someone.so that person will do as told and after they have killed a few people they get carried away and think its okay to kill people. but on the other hand we think it is messed up because we don't just go off killing every person we see.this is why i think normal people can go from being normal to being totally sick in the head.
