To start this off, I'll introduce genocide. What is genocide? The term genocide was created by a Polish-Jewish legal scholar named Raphael Lemkin in 1944. The Latin word for gen or gentis means birth, race, stock, species, and kind. As stated from Wikipedia, "Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. Individuals only, not states, can be charged for genocide according to the UN Genocide Convention." But the real definition of genocide depends among the scholars. But the real definition is stated by the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. It states genocide as "any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group, such as: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." What IS the real genocide?

The following information was taken from http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item
/20080805_rwanda_says_france_participated_in_genocide/.
After two years of investigating, a Rwandan commission has accused France of partaking in genocide. He assumed this because France was training Hutu militias and providing support to the Hutu government. That Rwandan commission also said that French forced murdered and raped Tutsis and Hutus. That French government has consistently denied involvement in the genocide, in which 800,000 people were killed. So do you think that Rwandan commissioner was telling the truth or just making up lies?

Why do people partake in genocide? Well first of all, who partakes in genocide? It began with a simple boycott of Jewish shops and ended in the gas chambers at Auschwitz as Adolf Hitler and his Nazi followers ATTEMPTED to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe. Adolf Hitler killed members of a group, caused many serious bodily or mental harm to members of a group, deliberately inflicted damaged to others, imposed measures intended to prevent births within the group, and forcibly transferred children from one group to another group. If you don't call that partaking in genocide, I don't know what is then. In Rwanda in the year 1994, Tutsis were killed by Hutu militia who apparently used clubs and machetes, with as many as 10,000 killed each day!
Now why did/do people partake in genocide? Well the main reason is because of racial features and also religion. When people heard of this genocide, they began to question their own religion and faith. They began to question themselves because fear is growing inside of them. Anything can develop from fear; doubts, decisions, and even their own future.

What does the commonality of genocide lead you to believe about humanity? Genocide is among us, we just haven’t noticed it in the future day, because there are less now. And yes, I just said that there was less. Genocide is still happening in this modern day. From my research it shows that genocide first showed signs during the beginning of the 1900’s, around 1914 and 1918. And the most recent in the genocide report is in the late 1900’s, approximately 1990 and 1995. The research that I found might not be entirely true, since humanity now a days lie. So even though my research says that it probably ended, but humanity is never completely sure. We shouldn’t leave our guards down; we have to stay aware of all actions from all around the world. Genocide’s definition is – a horrible way to kill someone.
