Genocide 10 Stages

Using the 10 Stages of Genocide, where is the world in dealing with Genocide? How can you as an individual raise awareness in your community to help prevent or raise awareness of Genocides occurring? Genocide is an action taken to destroy some types of groups ethnic, racial, religious, national parts. Genocide occurs in ten stages and genocide is preventable if the necessary actions are taken during each process. The differences between people like race, religion, ethnicity, etc. cause us to group people and when we start to group them we classified them, once there is a classification in some certain groups there is a competition building in between them. Classification can cause us to give symbols to those groups, for example, Muslim
use moon and star, Jewish use Star of David or people identify some groups by their color or their dresses but these symbolizations can cause to genocide when it is combined with hatred. For Example the yellow star for the Jewish people under Nazi rule to make them identified as Jewish and keep them isolated from the German community by putting this symbol on them. All of them cause hate and anger which leads people to commit genocide. Using the ten stages of genocide the world is at stage ten in dealing with genocide which is denial.
Stage ten is the last stage of genocide. People who did the genocide always tries to cover up what they did and deny it like it never happened. During Holocaust they burn all of the bodies not to leave any evidence, Holocaust occurred because Jewish people were blamed for the defeat of World War One and economic depression. Rwandan Genocide started when Hutu population blamed the Tutsi population for the assassination of the Hutu president because his plane was shot down they blamed Tutsi for killing their leader. Even though there is still ethnic tension the government doesn't let the genocide to be thought in the classroom or to be ever spoken again, they make Hutus and Tutsis live together in peace and make them forgive the murderer of their family. By doing this they basically act like genocide never happen in their country, Rwandan government tries to cover everyone's eyes by not talking about it and this is form of denial. Many of this genocide occurred when some major events were happening for example Holocaust, it happened during World War Two and they were able to hide behind it, Armenian Genocide occurred when there Was World War One so they deny the genocide. So these people were able to hide behind the problems that were going on at the time, therefore, it was easy for them to deny they committed any genocide and blame the victims for what happened like Hitler blamed Jewish
people. We can prevent genocide by study and understand each genocide and compare them and develop theories to stop it. It is not enough to study the genocides we should have international and political institutions to stop it. We should teach causes and consequences of genocide more in the classrooms so they can understand it better and have the better understanding of it. There should be more documentary and news on the TV and Newspaper so people are aware of the genocides occurring around the world and actually try to do something to stop it.
