Anthropology
History has various examples of just how savage and ruthless, human beings can be, towards each other. There are well-documented incidents that illustrate the impact of what hatred and negative ethnocentrism can do to human beings. The determination of some people to exterminate some other groups of people is one of the most astounding aspects of hatred. Mass exterminations, or genocides, involve the systematic, planned elimination of a certain group of people, based on their ethnicity or some particular demographic characteristic. The Rwanda genocide is arguably one of the most infamous example of genocide on the planet. Others include the Holocaust and the killings in the former Yugoslavia. Genocide usually has stages, from the time such a thought is conceived to the actual act of extermination, and subsequent denial. This paper looks at the various links covering instances of genocide, offering some reflective insights on some.
From the videos, the most current example that bears the hallmarks of a genocide in the making is the plight of the Rohingya people. The Rohingya are a small ethnic group living in Myanmar, which is typically made up of Muslims and some Indians (Benesch 191). The group has been one of the most marginalized in the country. Successive governments have been gradually pushing these people further and further out of the nation's society, and too imminent oblivion. What is happening currently however in the country, is what has raised eyebrows the world over. The president has been accused of intentionally persecuting these people, denying them their basic rights and even using military force on them.

Symbolization, on the other hand, involves giving of names and symbols that differentiate a group of individuals from the rest (Staub). Dehumanization is one of the critical stages of genocide as one group tends to deny the humanity of others.
Condemnation of the use of hate speech is a relevant solution to the dehumanization act of genocide. Organization stage involves the stipulation of a goal that the group aims at. Furthermore, in the polarization stage, the aimed goal stipulated in the organization stage is now achieved as extremists drive the group apart. Once the group is set apart by the extremists. Last but not least, the genocidal act enters the extermination stage (Staub). This is the worst stage as it leads to the mass killing of individuals. Denial stage is the last stage where the perpetrators of the genocidal act dig up graves and bury the massacred victims and eliminate any form of evidence in the form of witness.
I believe the plight of the Rohingya people is in the extermination stage. Such is as a result of the massive killing and u...
