ethnic groups in a particular country can intensify and will lead to a bigger chaos‚ such as genocide. Such a thing happened in Rwanda in 1994‚ when a massacre took place. The incident itself has been a popular topic for books and articles and also films. One particular film that represents the Rwanda incident is “Hotel Rwanda”. That film will be reviewed in this essay in relation to the Rwanda genocide‚ and the way “Hotel Rwanda” gives a picture of how the incident happened will be looked at as

Raphael Lemkin‚ a genocide scholar‚ and two others‚ authored the original May 1947 draft of the genocide convention for the UN Secretariat. This draft included cultural genocide as one of its three aspects of genocide and‚ arguably‚ should the UNGC be revised in future‚ aspects of the original draft merit consideration for inclusion (MacDonald and Hudson). The cultural form enumerated five methods of attempting to destroy the specific characteristics of the group: (a) forcible transfer of children

Give a Korean a task and he will not rest his head until he properly completes it‚ give a Rwandan the same task and he will be looking forward to the rest time before he even commences. Now I wouldn’t like to be misunderstood to be saying that Rwandans are “lazy” instead it’s the lack focus which is a major ingredient in the recipe of underdevelopment. We Rwandans lack the focus. If we can hoard this focus then hold up to it‚ then we can be sure to achieve what has been achieved

And because of this categorization of the Hutu and Tutsi; they became victims of the “nouns that cut slices” (218)‚ a phrase that Allport uses for “the names that help us to perform the clustering” (218). The Rwanda genocide also opened the eyes of the people to Allport’s idea of “emotionally toned labels” (220); the labels of being

Hotel Rwanda The Hutu’s and Tutsi’s once lived in harmony in Central Africa. They lived as one group until the Germans sold the country to Belgium in 1916. Independence changed everything for the two denominations; the Belgians chose the Tutsi’s to lead the country because they were similar to Europeans‚ and the Hutu’s as farmers and other workers. The Belgians used the technique of divide and conquer to stay out of the conflicts between the two clans. The Hutu’s blamed the Tutsi’s for almost

Another excellent example of heroism is found with General Romeo Dallaire‚ who defended the Tutsi people with his life when the Hutu people went on a mass genocide in Rwanda in 1994.
