What is genocide? Give a definition and an overview of two major historical genocides. What is the main demographic factor that seems to make genocide less likely, and why?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Genocide is the planned, systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.
2. Examples will vary, but may include the Nazi genocide against Jews, Gypsies, gays, and other “undesirables” in Germany, or the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
3. Heterogeneity appears to be the major demographic factor that makes genocide less likely. If there are many ethnic groups in the country, it is less likely that any one will dominate. However, if there are only two or three, it is easier for them to characterize each other as demonic.
