The idea of separating the people by just appearance and segregating one for the other is an act of unjustness and is inhumane. Inhumanity it presented through the entire documentary as the large countries, the French and the UN acted heartlessly against the Rwandans. When they are in great desperation for aid in their war the other countries refuse to assist them in peace keeping and instead just evacuated their own people leaving the Rwandans to their fight, alone. Thousands of innocent Rwandans were brutally murdered by their own kind as a result of the lack of support due to the inhumane nature of the other countries, as they found no benefit in saving the Rwandans. As a result of this inhumanity the massacre of innocents became inevitable and therefore, it can be understood what the consequences of inhumane behaviour will be.

When civil war erupts and a Rwandan Army officer threatens Paul and his neighbors, Paul barely negotiates their safety, and brings everyone to the hotel. More refugees come to the hotel from the overburdened United Nations camp, the Red Cross, and orphanages. Paul must divert the Hutu soldiers, care for the refugees, be a source of strength to his family, and maintain the appearance of a functioning high-class hotel, as the situation becomes more violent. Hotel Rwanda is the most inspirational film, about hope within a troubled society, still at peace, but it gradually shifts it to a dark tone as the movie goes
The hotel starts to become overcrowded, and Paul has to try to get the Hutu soldiers to go away, take care of the refugees, and take care of the hotel. I enjoyed this movie very much. It was very saddening to see the massacres that went on during that time. I found it interesting how Paul did so many good things for the people. It seemed that throughout the movie he did a great job at maintaining order and taking good care of his family.
A major reason is the belief of someone causing genocide is because they blame a group of people for problems in a country. Genocide exists in the form of abortion and in unjust laws. Genocide exists in abortion because many unborn babies around the world are being killed and not given a chance to live outside the wound. Unjust laws are a part of genocide because it takes away people’s freedom or causes harm to them. Genocide does exist today in countries around the world today like Darfur, Sudan.
During this time Paul was the manager of the Sabena Hotel des Mille Collines. As the war unfolded Paul began to take in refugees at the hotel after he and his family and neighbors witnessed Hutu militia taking people out of their homes and killing them in his neighborhood. As the violence increases more people began seeking refuge at this hotel because the UN's refugee camps are full and they are seemingly too far away to make in there safely. During this time Paul is trying to maintain the appearance of this high-class hotel while attempting to ward off the Hutu militia with bribes and distraction, all while taking care of his family. In my opinion the most prominent ethnocentrism when the European allies came to rescue all of the westerners in Rwanda.
“The genocide was calculated to exterminate them; the hateful vitriol used against the Tutsi in the press and on radio broadcasts illustrated this thought process” (citation 1). Because Hutu people were not educated enough, they did not have independent thought and followed the instructions from their leaders. They became crazy to kill Tutsi people in revenge for the long-time conflicts and venom. Their deference to government and blindness
From this they grow up in this culture of differences. Thus when the Belgium left, the Hutus (the lower class) took revenge on the Tutsi (the elite) and stated a genocide massacre. They did not like the fact that their culture creates differences and how the Hutus were treated badly during the colonization time. This culture may have been built strongly inside each person by the authorities of the individuals. Their peer-pressure, such as friends, parents and may even be teachers in their school.
This was all due to the promises he had made, one of them being to completely eradicate unemployment within Germany. Everyone then feared him and only stood behind him due to all the deaths he caused, which is very similar to Jack and the boys. This is not expected
Cheadle’s convincing portrayal of Paul Rusesabagina in his desperate and problematic situation carries the film to its conclusion very well. The Tutsis (whom the Hutus call cockroaches) are of higher social status than the Hutus this inferior social status of the Hutus was forcibly fixed ' by the Hutus themselves in an eruption of massive slaughter. In a very short time (100 days) about a million people, both Tutsis and moderate Hutus were murdered by extremist Hutus. The movie adequately portrays the horror, the torment, and the despair experienced by the persecuted people of Rwanda, but fails to adequately address why the violence and genocide occurred in the first place. There is only a brief explanation about the origins of the Hutu-Tutsi conflict in the movie.
