Genocide or Not in Syria?

I believe that this is not a genocide, first because according to international law. The president isn't actually attacking any specific political group, but he is trying to stay in power. The actions that were committed were genocide-like, but were not meant in a genocidal way, such as deportation, executions, torture, and sexual violence. Children's rights were abused as well. I believe that the reason the president committed these was to stay in power, not to get rid of an ethnic group.

Rwandan Genocide

I believe that humanity in general is responsible for this genocide, as well as all genocides. I think this because the people that enabled it are just as guilty as the people who did nothing to stop it. Though, the red cross is less responsible because they did start taking actions. The government, of course, were the ones leading the genocide, and were the most responsible. The people just standing by, unless they did not have the resources or money ready, were also responsible for the genocide because they could have done something, but decided not to out of fear for the well-being of their own country being slightly worse off. Human lives are worth so much, and the people that were the enablers were just as guilty as the murderers, not doing anything to stop it.

Defiance (Part 3)

If I was the editor of this movie, I would choose to portray the scene with the scout this way: The group starts to beat the scout, but Tuvia stops them. I would portray the scene in this way because that would strengthen Tuvia's leadership. This relates to my ethics, because I understand that people in large groups may me full of rage, but one good leader can stop anything, and that is my belief.
