Genocide Essay Genocide has been a cause since the early 1400s and still continues to be a cause. It seems that killing off a massive amount of people will never seem to end. Generations died off due to the fact of genocides, so many innocent souls yet so little help. Genocide is and will always be an important topic, we as humans can choose how far we will allow things to end or continue. During this project I stated various genocides and added many pictures to show how serious and upsetting this cause is.

The Bosnian genocide which occurred in 1992-1995, The Holocaust which was 1933-1945, and the Darfur Genocide that began in 2003 and still continues today. All genocides are just as important but even if you only remember three it is enough to spread how important events like this should never occur again. Many of innocent men, women, and children died in each one. In The Bosnian genocide and The Holocaust many were sent to concentration camps which there they spend there lives during the crisis, in these camps many died of starvation, disease, force labor, and much more. Families in these genocides were separated and many never saw their families again. The Darfur genocide is just as bad, many civilians in villages are being attacked and
Genocide is an awful thing that continues to repeat itself throughout our history, and yet is still not considered a “big issue” because most genocides are quickly forgotten by the world despite the lasting impact that they have. The Dzungar genocide was left behind by the world and by history itself but was in no way forgotten by Western Mongolia; this caused strong disdain and prejudice towards the Chinese. The genocide was the mass extermination of the Mongol Buddhist
These changes result from a loss of faith in God, or God’s mercy, a loss of home and meaningful personal possessions, and a loss of conscience and personality. The Holocaust and all humanitarian catastrophes are often known for the sheer number of deaths that occurred, the number of displaced peoples, or whatever relevant statistics. These looks into the personal effects these events have on their victims make them closer and more personal, and are crucial in preventing them from occurring in the future. They are also important as they help people sympathize with survivors of other humanitarian catastrophes, and be better informed of the effects that such things have on people. The Holocaust was a tragedy that destroyed an entire generation of innocent Jewish, Romani, LGBTQ+, and disabled people in Europe.
Throughout our history, there have been many horrific genocides. This includes but is not limited to the Holocaust, Rwandan Genocide, Parsley massacre, Cambodian Genocide, and many more. This genocide resulted in many deaths, but it also had a major effect on the survivors. Although some people were able to survive these genocides, a part of them will always be dead inside them. This is because someone’s identity is affected by the memories they experienced.
Studying the Holocaust broadened my understanding of compassion greatly. This event helped me realize that everyone needs compassion in their life. Compassion helped the Jewish people endure the time that the Holocaust took place. It lets them know, someone cared about them and someone wanted them to feel safe.
Genocides, the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular group or nation, has affected various countries. Genocide not only brings a war but also problems like decreasing economic affairs and social problems. When genocide starts, society overlooks economic affairs like their agriculture since they focus on the war. In the case of Rwanda, once the genocide had begun many farmers fled or were killed. "All was
Rahul Mone Mrs. Marsden ELA Honors I 4 February, 2016 The Cambodian Genocide The genocides of Cambodia and the Holocaust were two major genocides that have changed the history of the world forever. The Cambodian genocide started when the Khmer Rouge attempted to nationalize and centralize the peasant farming society of Cambodia (Quinn 63).
One of the utmost irrational mistakes of mankind is Genocides. Genocides are consistently repeated throughout all of history. Seventeen million people died in World War I. In comparison, three million people have died during the Cambodia Genocide. In half the time that each major power took to stop fighting. The social integrity of Cambodia collapsed on its self, killings equaled 27% of the death of World War I. As a matter of fact, the Indochina War is what caused Cambodia 's damaging self infliction.
What the Armenians endured in Turkey is now being committed against the Jews, but slower and more systemically. Numerous ideological and political influences led from the disregarded Armenian genocide to Hitler’s actions and the Holocaust. By undervaluing the genocide of a million Armenians, the world overlooked the precedent it would set for future massacres and ethnic cleansings. Avoiding the title of genocide shifts the focus away from solving the root cause of mass annihilation, to political drama.
But it wasn’t the only one, and that's because people didn’t learn from the first time it happened. They didn’t learn from their mistakes, and it cost them even more lives and more hardships for others. Alos let's not forget about the biggest genocide that still goes on today, Slavery. It started off with African Americans, and soon spread to other races. Slavery has almost ended, but it still goes on everywhere in the entire world.
During the early 20th century, a series of events in the Middle East culminated in the mass killing of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire. This event is now referred to as the Armenian Genocide. While many countries and international organizations recognize the killing of the Armenians by the Turks as genocide, there is still much denial and dispute that the Armenian Genocide even happened, particularly on the part of Turkey. Even though it happened one hundred years ago, the consequences of the Genocide and its acceptance or denial can still be seen today, in international relations, political alliances, and modern-day tensions. Although it is impossible to hide what happened in 1915, the Armenian Genocide
My understanding of genocide has changed because I now know that there are more than one cause of genocides. In The Rwandan Genocide,
Nevertheless, from the onset of the genocide,
For years innocent people have been killed for the wrong reasons. Violent crimes towards group with an intention to exterminate them. Events still haunt survivors who lived through the hard trial. However, for all these gruesome crimes, genocide still takes place today. Number of innocent people are mistreated, leaders that were involved in genocide abuse their power and took lives of people who may never committed a crime.
Genocide is the intent to systematically eliminate a racial, religious or ethnic group of people. One perspective on the cause of genocide is the thought that they are brought to life by individuals. Another perspective is that they are constructed by a group of people or a cluster of people like a military. The central reason for genocide is the mass amount of people who agree on their hatred or anger towards certain groups of people, regarding religion, race, or culture. Countless people are to blame in most instances because everyone has a choice in what they can pursue.
