This humanitarian cause not only affects Armenia though, it will affect the entire world. The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the century and has set an example for other genocide perpetrators. The resolution states that “the failure of the domestic and international authorities to punish those responsible for the Armenian genocide is a reason why similar genocides have recurred and may recur in the future” (Doyle 4). And the resolution is right because after the Armenian Genocide came the Jewish Holocaust, Rwanda Genocide, and Pol Pot in Cambodia. Adolf Hitler once said "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"
They were second-class citizens to the Muslim’s, they had to pay higher taxes, they could not join the military or do any civil service, and they had less rights than the Muslims as well. There were also many other minorities that had these rules. These minorities were called infidels; they mainly consisted of Greeks, Armenians, and Jews. The Armenians obeyed these rules so they did well for centuries. In the late 1800’s the Turks started treating these infidels awfully by kidnapping them, raping them and sometimes murdering them.
Minorities use to be slaves, and had very little status in society, but that status was built up to the point where there now suppose to be equals. Although, many feel inferior to these immigrants therefore they discriminate against them through gender, age, religion and race. Despite the promotion of equality there are still many types of discrimination in today’s society. Discrimination visibly occurs in the workplace as well as in the mass media. Why are their still forms of discrimination in today’s society?
The Maya and Shang relied on similar agricultural methods and political structures with small kingdoms and one ruler; however, they differed culturally since the Shang had no religion and the Mayans did. Both civilizations organized into hierarchies of power, although the Mayan small city-kingdom system worked better than the Shang decentralized states. Unlike the Mayans, the Shang had many governors and trusted them to carry out the orders. However, the governors were not hundred percent loyal to their king and rebelled a lot. The only reason they stayed in power for a certain time was that they could monopolize their bronze.
This created power struggles between the military and the power family which led to their demise. Examples would be the struggle between Shah Jahan’s sons * Another main factor in the demise of the empire was when the british got a seat on the imperial court of Agra Religion: * Governments in all 3 were muslim based * Mughals were the only group that was not predominately muslim, muslims were only a small minority * ottomans were sunni muslims * ottoman titles were claimed to be caliphs * they maintained Islamic law called sandri’a * only applied to ottoman muslims * ottoman minorities were mostly greek orthodox jews * muslims were prohibited from adopting other faiths * each group was organized into administrative unit called millet (nations) * woman were treated much like other woman in
Hitler instead blamed many others, mainly the Wemiar and the Jews, this also gained popularity with the people of Germany. The treaty of Versailles also stipulated that Germany must demiliterize, resulting in alot of soliders without jobs. With large unemployment people are more likely to take more radical views as they get more desperate, Hitler used this to his advantage. The treaty of Versailles was a major cause to Hitlers rise to power. Another major cause that resulted in Hitlers rise to power was the Weimar democracy.
He tried so desparately to create a total blonde-haired, blue eyed poplation and anyone who wasn’t of that demographic was to be executed. Purifying the world as a complete Aryan race was his idea of perfect. Hitler could not see a world with anyone but his “own” people and his main target were the Jewish people of the surrounding countries. Many countries that Germany asked for help were very hesitant to lend a helping hand so Adolf Hitler attempted to take over the world by himself. It is believed that Adolf Hitler had put a tremendous amount of blame on the Jewish population for the losses of World War I and embarrassment that wouled ensue Germany afterwards.
The laws governing prisoners' right to vote are often referred to as disenfranchisement laws. Globally, there is a concern about whether these laws single out poor people or specific races of people. Every human has rights but they also come with responsibilities to maintain that right. They originally are given the right of freedom in a governed state but they have the responsibility to follow the laws of the state. The debate over whether prisoners should be allowed the right to vote is a heated issue.
Discrimination and the Roma People Jennifer Allen-Antle The Roma people, also called Gypsies or Travelling People, have lived a very different life than most other cultures. They have been discriminated against from private groups as well as governments. In this paper I will discuss the discrimination and prejudice towards the Roma including their persecution by the Nazis and modern day discrimination in Europe. In this paper I will use the proper term of Roma unless quoting directly, as that is the term preferred by the Roma in their fight to be recognized as an ethnic group. Everywhere Gypsies are the lowest of the low.
This assassination instigated Hutu hardliners to seize power and demand for the elimination of the Tutsis. In the subsequent 100 days, 800000 Tutsis and 10000 Hutus perished in the Rwandan Genocide. The foundation for the genocide was laid down during the Belgian colonial period (1919-1962). The Belgian colonisers made ethnic divisions far more inflexible by favouring the Tutsi minority over the Hutu majority. This was based on European anthropological theories about the Tutsis’ supposed Hamitic origins, which was allegedly racially superior to the
