20th+Century+Genocides



1. Define genocide in your own words

I believe a genocide is a mass killing of one specific race, tribe, team, ect. It narrows it's victims down to one specific group and who ever is doing this crime try's to take out the whole group.

3. Make a list of all the things you associate with genocide

All the things I associate with Genocide is The Holocaust, The Cold War.

4. Explain the difference between a genocide and a mass murder.

====The difference between a Genocide and a mass murder is that a mass murder isn't committed towards any specific group of people. Who ever is committing it wants to just kill people and who ever is committing a Genocide attack is killing a specific race or group of people.====

CLASS ACTIVITY:

**__1 is least harmful: 7 is most harmful__**

 * **Spitting on someone because they are Purple : 4**
 * **Calling someone bad names because they are Purple : 2**
 * **Beating up a random Purple person walking down the street because they are Purple : 5**
 * **Passing a law to prevent all Purple people from getting jobs by Pink People : 1**
 * **Ransacking a neighborhood, breaking windows of houses and painting graffiti on Purple peoles' homes : 3**
 * **Killing a family because they are purple : 6**
 * **Rounding up Purple people and taking them to a school yard and killing them : 7**

The message of this activity is to make you think about each action and personally I thought none of these are "least harmful." They are all very harmful to the purple people cause even calling someone a name can really hurt them.
