We live in a world with a lot of hate and violence in the name of many different leaders, religions, and revenge. Is it possible that a people will once again feel so threatened by another that they would be willing to go as far as a genocide? Many people thought Trump was going to do it again when he spoke of deportation of illegal immigrants. He has not done this, but would it have been possible for him? The American people were scared and spoke up before he had even done anything. Are we at a place with media and learning that we wouldn't let this happen again? Or could we ourselves do this or one of the other many powers in the world be willing to go to this? Does history repeat itself like it already has?

Is another genocide possible?
In class, we learned about 2 genocides. The Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. The Armenian Genocide took place earlier in 1915 about 30 years before World War 2 and the time of the Holocausts. They used similar tactics as the holocaust and ended up exterminating 1.5 million Armenians. The world didn't learn and the German people did the same thing during the holocausts but killing 6 million Jews. The people that took place in this discrimination and killing of another people all had a similar belief preached to them that they believed. They all believed that the people that they were killing were subhuman or less than them. That they shouldn't be treated as human because they were barely human. They also believed that the people that they were killing would be some sort of threat to them if they were to remain alive.
