The Implausibility of Genocide Prevention

 

            " Leaders throughout the world had declared that after the Holocaust. The President of The Genocide Watch explains, "The history of the twentieth century instead proved that "never again" became "again and again."  The promise the United Nations made was brokengenocides and other forms of mass murder killed 170 million people, more than all the international wars of the twentieth century combined"(Stanton). Throughout history, people have killed others. Normally, it is because of hatred. Unfortunately, most of the time, people can have an inveterate hatred of an entire group of people. That hatred soon leads to genocide. Genocide is when violent crimes are committed against a society or race, with intent to destroy the existence of that group. Genocide cannot be prevented in the future because of the inevitability of evil, some people are ignorant and refuse to give into the reality that all people should be equal and not discriminated against, and society would not be able to persuade everyone in the world to agree and prevent future genocides.
             Firstly, evil is inevitable. For one thing, "The concept of evil is not an absolute"(MtnMath). It is inevitable because no one can persuade someone's actions unless they kill that person themselves, making it impossible for the others to commit an evil action; but then the one who killed the other is evil, and the chain reaction will keep on going. One cannot foresee what another will do in the future and one person surely cannot have such a strong impact on another that they would vow to prevent genocide. Some people are the way they are for a reason. If they are evil, someone may never be able to change that because that is just the way they were meant to be. All trying will do is delay the inevitable, and even then that is not stopping genocide from occurring.
             Second, there are cretinous people in the world who cannot seem to grasp the fact that everyone should be equal and not be discriminated against.
