UNIT 10 CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS
Critical Thinking Questions
1.
What might have been the motivation for the Armenian genocide?
The Armenian genocide might have been a result of a desire to reduce their population along with eliminating the
possibility of their fulfillment of their quest to complete independence in the eastern provinces of the empire. The Turkish also sought an “ethnic cleansing” of the Armenians. 2.
How did the Khmer Rouge’s coming to power lead to genocide?
I believe the Khmer Rouge’s siege of power led to genocide on account of their less-than-pure intentions to shape the nation’s social, religious, and political beliefs and structure/lifestyle to one of their choice—wanted domination of all aspects of the lifestyles of every citizen. Furthermore, after coming to power and having destroyed the government led to an unstable and broken country. He thus wanted to create a society in which he perceived as being “perfect” in all aspects, so he in turn started killing people who didn’t fit his picture/vision of said society/nation. 3.
Describe a parallel between the actions of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and Hitler’s actions in Poland.
Similar to Hitler, Khmer Rouge left an enormous trail of bodies on their path to complete domination and control, killing intellectuals and those that could potentially pose any sort of threat to him, his ideals, or the nation he was
trying to rebuild, along with those he deemed not worthy. They also sponsored and used forced labor and concentration camps for prisoners/captives and victims. 4.
Could changes to the structure or abilities of the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court improve their ability to fight war crimes?
Yes, changes to the structure or abilities of the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court can improve their ability to fight war crimes. These could work in broadening the scope of what is “considered” genocide—or at least implement some terms or categories to categorize true war crimes and things that go too far rather than just genocide. The alteration of the structure and abilities could alse be used to determine exact criteria for specific war crimes and offer more leeway to punish and offer Justice for these crimes. Furthermore, harsher punishments and the promise of harsher criteria and restrictions could steer more people away from committing said crimes and infractions. 5.
Consider the role of race and religion in the genocides discussed.
Race and religion played a significant (if not the most important) impact when it comes to genocide. Race and religion were the utmost destructive of motivators as these things cannot be changed nor can they be hidden, and certain people saw certain groups of them as less than human, dirty and diseased, purely bad people, and other toxic and enticing qualities for one to justify extinction—in this case, genocide.
