What is Genocide? What do you know about Genocide?

Post a comment on anything and everything that you know about the word "Genocide."  Think of this as an online mind map.  Write down anything that comes to mind.

  1. I think Genocide is like being Persecuted by the Group of people that is higher because of their skin tone, religion, or because of their family's member's past mistakes. These people are not treated equally with the higher because they think the others are trash or that they are better than the other

  3. the policy that kills the race that is not the same, like combination civil war and racism, that is massive.

    when i hear genocide, I think of a song name Europa preformed by Globus, once I like the best. The song includes big wars or conflicts that happened in Europe.

    here is the part

    Bolshevisks and feudal lords
    Chivalry to civil wars
    Fascist rule and genocide
    Now we face the rising tide

  6. Genocide is a group of people who kill other people because of their culture, skin colors, nationality... It made me think of Hitler and his electric chairs.

  7. I think Genocide is a moral cultural humanitarianism killing crime that embarrasses and criticizes the conspirator himself. The action presents that the conspirator is not really smart because of killing people ferociously. Cultural, tradictional and family relatives get involved to be its victims who being persecuted and executed with a reason of the difference of races, religions or colorskins. And in some cases, that leads to Civil War, which is an shameful result for its country, specificly in those leaders. And the absence of the citizens will cause the crime to be an international complication that will involve others countries.

  8. Genocide reminds me of suicide because genocide sounds like suicide. There's genocide in Darfur, so naturally genocide reminds me of Darfur. I read somewhere that genocide has to do something with killing people because of culture. This word also reminds me of homocide.

  9. Genocide is from by the combination of geno-, from the Greek word means RACE and -cide, from the Latin word means KILLING. Below is the link for the statistic of Genocide in the 20th century. Vietnam is also in the list of one of the few countries where genocide happened. http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/dictat.html

  12. It's just basically massive killing campaign and the victims are cultural/religion/ethical group, or races. Make me think of the Holocaust and the massive killing of Native American when the European started exploring west.

  15. Genocide is the deliberating and killing of people based on their skin color, culture, nationality, race, etc... It happened in many countries currently like Rwanda, Darfur, Sudan, and some places in Africa. It made me think of the thinking of historical people who lived centuries ago; they murdered each other because of their skin color (black & white) and also religion (Jews)

  17. To me, genocide means killing a group of people because of their religion, culture, appearance, race, and nationality. When I hear or see this word, it makes me think of all kinds of killing words. For example: suicide, parenticide, ceticide, etc.

  18. Genocide means killings that was caused by one group, usually the reason for those killings were racism, religions and cultures. Genocide is banned by the international law because of what happened in the Holocaust.

  19. gen·o·cide
    [jen-uh-sahyd]
    –noun
    the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

    It reminds me of the Jews in World War II, the Cambodian war, the wars in the Middle East about religions...

  20. When I think of it words like war, killing, ethnic, racism just popped out of my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  21. There are many types of genocide such as generals, social, policies, and others.
    G: ageism, lookism, ethnoism, racism, etc.
    S: homeliness, adultism, etc.
    P: religious, interment, ethnocracy, etc.
    This word was created for the cause of persecutions and deaths, mostly in protesting and wars, or others.

  22. Genocide is crimes committed against groups in order to destroy their existence because of their race or beliefs.
    I researched and it says this term doesn't exist before 1944.

  23. i think it when killing a specific group of people. like hitler. He killed jews, or just people who does not have blond hair and baby blue eyes. Also it reminds me of world war 2. Overall it think is seeing and hating on different peoples belief and religion. Like the racial group, the KKK. They are known to hate and kill african-americans. Well before. They wear white clothes with a matching white hat. They are very secretive, they like to keep their real identity to themselves.

  24. Genocide is a mass murder of people because of their ethnicity, skin color, religion, etc... This is what happened to the Jews during WWI. Darfur people are being killed by the government and by the Janjaweed just because they live in Darfur (Terry is stating that they were not killed because they lived in Darfur but because they were non Arab. I'm not too sure which is right so I'll just leave it here for Mr. Blake to answer). I think there was also a genocide during the Crusades.

  25. I think GENOCIDE is the murder of a whole race or group of people... It's an noun and similar word for this is racial killing.

  26. When i heard genocide I think of genetic DNA or scientific things but when I read other people common I change my mind and I think it is all about people hate other people

  27. Genocide is a massive murder because of skin colors, religions, nationality, races.... and Nazis is an example, in WW2 the Nazis were ordered by Hitler to execute the Jewish people because of their race.

  28. Genocide is a massive murder of people because of their ethnic, skin colors, eyes colors...For example like Vietnam, the My Lai Massacre was the mass murder of 347–504 unarmed citizens in South Vietnam. i have heard of it on TV 3 years ago, and the pictures they showed on TV made me never forget this event. back on track, well yeh, i agree with the majority of people, that this definitely relates to Adolf Hitler and also the genocide which had happened at Sudan.

  30. to destroy some group of people follow their skin color

  31. Genocide sounds like
    Suicide or homocide
    so i'm guessing it has something to do with killing.
    killing other people more likely.
    people who are different from you?
    people you can't tolerate?
    Genocide makes people feel unaccepted.
    They need reassurance.
    To be safe, and be a part of a community.
    To cooperate with others unlike yourself.
    To have justice, and freedom.
    Genocide takes that away from them.
    Simply by assasinations.

    I think genocide is not a good thing (:
    agreed? x [;

  32. Genocide - killing a large group of people on purpose :D

  33. I think Genocide is a systematic destruction base on ethnic, racial, culture or national group. That means kill a huge number of people. This make me think of red Khmer in Cambodia, the Red Khmer kill a lot of people because those people were smart and have more knowledge than Red Khmer. Now it stopped in Cambodia.

  34. genocide - extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group; violent crimes committed against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group; against human rights
    examples: the Nazis, holocausts, etc

  35. When I think of genocide, I think of the powerful preying on the meek. To me the word emanates the evilest, most atrocious acts of humanity. There is no empathy in genocide.

  38. I think genocide is killing many people as the specific group and reason. Maybe because of religious or because of a long-standing feud from their ancestors.
    I think a war is also called genocide because war kills many people for the reason.

  39. I think it's mean a group of people in a government killing people: like Hitler and Khmer Rouge.They kill people for some reason.
