Document Summary
Violence and society exam review essay exam: explain how the creation of a utopian ideology facilitate genocide. Then wrap up with a discussion of the role of the leaders (chapter 6 and class) A utopia is essentially an imagined place or state where everything is perfect. A genocide, on the other hand, is the mass murdering of people because of their race, religion, ethnicity, beliefs, etc. These two terms would seemingly not go hand in hand, considering one state is flawless and the other drowns in the blood of innocent civilians. However, dictators and leaders continuously preach the idea of a utopian society in order to get the civilian population on board with their genocidal plans. For this topic, hitler and the holocaust will be primary examples. Hitler declared that the enemy of germany was the jews and that they must be eliminated in order to pursue his goal of a utopia for the german people.
