Modern Genocides Summary

Upon first thought of genocide, most people immediately think about the Holocaust. They think about the concentration camps, and the millions of people who were slaughtered just because of their race or religion. However, there is so much more than just the Holocaust, and there are genocides that are still going on today. Most of these horrible events go unnoticed, or are just completely ignored by the rest of the world. They all have one thing in common though; they're all about power. Everybody wants to be in charge, and that's how wars among religions happen. People think that they're religion is better, and they feel the need to slaughter any opposition in order to take control and try to prove superiority. All people have special connections with one another in more ways than many think. We all come from different backgrounds, and practice different religions, and have different nationalities. We all try to be successful, and some people take it to the extreme. Those are the ones who start the wars, and they start the genocides by trying to prove their religion/race's dominance. As long as these religious tensions keep happening, and people keep trying to be dominant, genocides will continue to happen, unless we can do something to change this.
