In this post I am going to describe the 8 stages of a genocide.

1. Classification-What happens first is that the societies aren’t divided into a lot a groups and they are not very diverse. When they don’t show diversity they are more likely tp have a genocide among themselves.

2. Symbolization-This is when the people of the country start labeling people which is what leads to the real problems because the people being labeled get defensive and they start wearing their colors or symblos which gets the other peopl, the labelers, angry.

3. Dehumanization-One group will deny what they are doing. At that point they will go on radios and print newspapers devoted to hating the group of people. We all know hat these radios should be shut down but nobody does.

4. Organization-All genocides are planned from the start to the end. They plan who they want to kill. What we could do is stop their leaders from getting visas and stop arms from getting to them.

5. Polarization-In this stage the groups are divided socially and interracial marriages are illegal and visas are denied.

6. Identification-At this point they divide the groups up into ghettos or concentration camps or famine areas. This is when they need to call a genocide so the US governement and others can help the area where it is going on.

7. Extermination-At the point thats when the killings start and when the US government can get involved and guard or pretect the people. They make safe areas for them to escape to that are patroled by guards.

8. Denial-After the genocide the killers dig graves and burn the bodies in them and deny that they did anything and blame it on the victims. They try to bring those that suffered and died to justice through their families.

These are the 8 stages of genocide and show what happens when nothing is done.
