Can someone write me a paragraph on Genocide I'm gonna add it to my essay
I have until 11:59 so take your time :)
Answer:
As the Genocide Convention of 1948 states, “at all periods of history genocide has inflicted great losses on
humanity” (Kaye and Stråth 2000: 24). Nevertheless, the twentieth century was termed the “century of genocide”
because of the high number of cases of genocide during that time period (Bartrop 2002: 522). For the purpose of this
essay, the definition of genocide will be taken from the Genocide Convention, which defines genocide as “intent to
destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”. The genocide of the Armenians, the
Holocaust and the genocide in Rwanda are the three genocides of the twentieth century that fit that definition
(Destexhe 1994: 4-5). In this essay, the causes of modern genocide will be investigated using these three genocides
as case studies. There are various reasons why genocide may occur and it is often a combination of circumstances
that leads to genocide. The present essay will investigate the underlying conditions that make genocide possible,
while leaving out catalytic events that may trigger genocide. The essay will firstly draw on the works of Horkheimer
and Adorno in examining the relations between Enlightenment ideas and genocide. The correlations between war
and economic crises will be subject to analysis in the second part of the essay. Finally, the creation of out-groups and
in-groups will be explored. While these are certainly not the only causes of genocide, they may be deemed to be preconditions.
Raphael Lemkin coined the term “genocide” in the 1940s with the Holocaust in mind, which for him signified the
return of an enlightened people to barbarism (Freeman 1995: 210). Similarly, Foster (1980: 2) sees the Holocaust as
an aberration of an enlightened and developed nation. However, there are other scholars who argue that genocide is
not an exception of Enlightenment but in fact a result of it. Horkheimer and Adorno (1973: 3-4) argue that the ideals of
Enlightenment, which are human emancipation and rationality, alienate humans from nature and result in men
wanting to control nature and, in turn, other people as well. Bauman (1989: 91), continuing this idea over a decade
later, proposes that since the Enlightenment, the extermination of a people serves to establish a perfect society. The
Enlightenment brought with it the belief in an evolutionary development towards a better society through state
engineering (Bauman 1989: 70; Kaye and Stråth 2000: 11). “Gardening” and “modern medicine” were used as
metaphors for human tasks that would improve a society (Bauman 1989: 70). In the enlightened world, a state can
become a “wonderful utopia” (Hamburg 2008: 44) through “designing, cultivating and weed-poisoning” (Bauman1989: 13). It is a modern idea that everything can be measured and classified, even a “race” and its character
(Bauman 1989: 68). This classification of races, coupled with the modern idea of a constantly improvable society,
leads to Social-Darwinist ideas of the survival of the fittest (Kaye and Stråth 2000: 15).
Armenians (Balakian 2008: 160), Jews (Bauman 1989: 76) and Tutsi (Mullen 2006: 172) were seen as worthless
groups standing between a population and the realisation of such a perfect society. Therefore, in the mind of the
“rational and enlightened” thinker, they were legitimate targets for extermination (Kaye and Stråth 2000: 15). This
“purifying” of the state through genocide is reflected in the language of the genocidaires (Stone 2004: 50).
Armenians were termed “tubercular microbes” and a local politician asked rhetorically “isn’t it the duty of a doctor to
destroy these microbes?” (Balakian 2008: 160). Hitler spoke of the “Jewish virus” and that “by eliminating the pest,
[he would] do humanity a service” (Bauman 1989: 71). Not only medical terms were used to justify the killings.
Gardening metaphors can also be found. In Rwanda, the chopping up of Tutsi men was called “bush clearing” and
slaughtering women and children was labelled as “pulling out the roots of the bad weeds” (Prunier 1997: 142). These
three examples support Bauman’s theory that the Enlightenment brought about the idea of being able to socially
engineer a perfect state. Genocide was consequently justified by the idea of “purifying” the state through tasks that a doctor or a gardener would employ in order to improve an unhealthy body or a garden.
Explanation: Your welcome by the way
Answer:
Genocide is the act in which one kills everybody who stands in their path. They may believe that said people are out to get them, so they must get rid of them first so that they can survive. They may do this due to mental health issues, regret, vengeance, or even just to do it. Genocide does not always have an explanation, but it is very important to find who is committing said act in time before more die. These criminals may be a serial killer looking for something to fill some kind of void in their lives where someone left them with. They may even just be seeking thrill! Some people kill just for the rush in their adrenalin! While one may think this is absurd, it seems to be pretty common. look at H.H. Holmes (Henry Howard Holmes). He built a mansion, known as the murder mansion, in which had several traps. A few of these traps were doors that led to brick walls, stair cases that led no where, and even gas-filled hotel rooms. He was convicted as a serial killer and was sentenced to death, surprisingly for only one murder. He died on May 7th, 1896.
I hope this helps! I learned about him in criminal justice II, so I really hope it's okay enough for a good grade! have a nice day!!

Read the excerpt from “On Women’s Right to Vote,” an 1873 speech by Susan B. Anthony.
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as well as men.
Which quotation correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Anthony’s words?
It was we, the people . . . the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as well as men.
It was we, the people . . . not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity . . . .
It was we . . . the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as well as men.
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty . . . to the whole people—women as well as men.

D. It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty . . . to the whole people—women as well as men.
Explanation:
In the last sentence, Susan originally said, "And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as well as men." This phrase was correctly shortened using the ellipsis because it can be understood what she said by using context clues while the others are hard to understand.

If the United States was founded on equal rights, why have so many people had to struggle for equal rights since its founding?
Answer:
On Wednesday, Virginia became the 38th state to vote to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment — thus fulfilling the requirement that three-quarters of the states must approve an Amendment in order to add it to the U.S. Constitution. Since the Amendment was proposed a century ago, the U.S. has never been so close to enshrining the equality of all people, regardless of sex, in its bedrock legal document.
But that doesn’t mean the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) will be added to the Constitution any time soon. There will likely be a long fight in the courts or in the U.S. legislature before that happens, as the legislators who originally passed the Amendment in 1972 set, and then extended, a time limit for ratification by the states. That deadline passed more than three decades ago.
Decades would pass before the Equal Rights Amendment would gain real momentum. By that point, both men and women had won protections in the workplace, and the women of the second-wave feminist movement — including some who had participated in the fight for civil rights in the 1960s — were pushing for equality in their jobs, universities and homes. The Equal Rights Amendment was written by Alice Paul (1885-1977), the founder of the National Woman’s Party.
Born to a New Jersey family of Quakers who highly valued education, Paul studied at colleges and universities in the U.S. and the United Kingdom and earned an impressive number of degrees, including a Master’s and doctorate in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania, a law degree from Washington College of Law, and law Master’s and doctoral degrees from American University. But her life’s work really came into focus after she joined demonstrations for the British suffragist movement in the early 1900s. When she returned to the U.S. in 1910, she pushed American suffragists to try the confrontational techniques she’d seen applied in Britain, including civil disobedience.
Concerned that the National American Woman Suffrage Association was too moderate, in 1913 Paul and Lucy Burns formed the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, which was later reconstituted as the National Woman’s Party, and employed more aggressive tactics. The group used parades, petitions, protests and pickets to push for the right to vote. In 1917, Paul was sentenced to seven months in prison for picketing the White House, and was force-fed after going on a prison hunger strike.
After women successfully won the right to vote in 1920, the National Woman’s Party turned its attention to the next steps. Jessica Neuwirth, a women’s rights lawyer and a founder of the ERA Coalition, a current-day campaign to pass the amendment, tells TIME that suffrage advocates saw their work as remedying the intentional omission of women from the U.S. Constitution.
Paul’s crusade in the 1920s was unsuccessful, but in the 1950s, Michigan Congresswoman Martha Griffiths took up the torch. A former judge elected to the House in 1954, Griffiths worked to have sex discrimination added to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and pushed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to double down on its enforcement of the Act. She also introduced the amendment on the House floor every year, but was unsuccessful until 1970, when Griffiths filed a discharge position that forced the legislation out of committee and led to the amendment being passed by the House. Although the Senate failed to pass it that legislative session, Griffiths reintroduced it the following year. It passed the House on Oct. 12, 1971 and the Senate on March 22, 1972. In passing the Equal Rights Amendment, Congress had set a seven-year deadline for ratification.
“Well, if you fast forward to 2019, without the Equal Rights Amendment having passed, we’re trying to figure out how to deal with bathrooms in a multi-gendered universe. And we’re trying to figure out, should in fact women be drafted if men are drafted?” says Condit. ”And while we were are unsettled as a culture about these new questions, they did not fail to emerge because we didn’t have an Equal Rights Amendment.” \
Condit notes that many of the states that failed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment had few women in their state legislatures, and historically had poor records of protecting the rights of both women and people of color. Virginia legislators’ decision to approve the Equal Rights Amendment means that the Amendment has fulfilled the requirement for three-fourths of the states to ratify a Constitutional Amendment. However, the ERA still faces another major obstacle: a past Congress had set a deadline for the Amendment’s ratification.
Going forward, that means that Congress could potentially vote to eliminate the deadline, or it could be challenged in court. Although American women have made significant gains in equality since the 1970s — and certainly since the 1920s — advocates say that an Equal Rights Amendment could still have a profound effect on the law and on American society.
