Essay 1.3
The crime of genocide is one of the most devastating human tragedies throughout the history. And the word genocide refers to an organized destruction to a specific group of people who belongs to the same culture, ethnic, racial, religious, or national group often in a war situation. Similar to mass killing, where anyone who is related to the particular group regardless their age, gender and ethnic background becomes the killing targets, genocide involves in more depth towards destroying people’s identity and it usually consists a fine through plan prearranged in order to demolish the unwanted group due to political reasons mostly. In Goldhagen’s book he talked about some ideas to prevent mass murders, and one of them was “target people wanted for such offenses, and not only those indicated. “ (Worse than war”, Page, 579). He also appeals to encourage those who kill or helps to kill offenders. I think it is a good idea to prevent mass killing, but now best even though I understand, that he wants people to avoid thinking about killing anyone. We should know that if we don’t obey the law then we have to get punished sooner or later, and this is how we can live peacefully. It is understandable that that he thinks that it is the best way to prevent murders, but I think, if we use reasonable methods instead of using one main methods then it will be helpful to stop mass killing. I know we shouldn’t set such things aside but retribution of evil for evil just multiples the evil. If we look at the prisons then we can see that every single day they are capturing criminals, and it is becoming overcrowded, and any number of criminals doesn’t decrease. I think, politics can even control the grow atmosphere.
In the past two decades, the creature known as the serial killer has captured the attention of the American culture, (NY Times, no author, 2008). With the dozens of books, and movies centered on serial killers the term has become a trendy catch phrase, replacing earlier terms such as "homicidal maniac". Fiction and screenwriters use the term "serial killers" with such casual abandon that is seems the meaning of the term escapes them. What will stop the serial killers to stop killing innocent lives? Will it stop if we start to kill everyone who is actually guilty, or a killer? Is this the solution to stop serial killing? I do not think these questions answers can help to stop it but it might help to prevent al little because if they get punishment then, but it will not stop the serial killer from killing. Not all people become kind or stop killing after the judicial trails. For example, there are many people know about rule of gravitation, and
consequences of falling, but it rarely keeps people from flying or mountain climbing if they want it. People just think that they will dodge this fate. Goldhagen offers to start a chase or hunt for such people; he said "anyone who has the chance to kill those who commit mass murder should do just that". ("Deterrence as the Only Prevention for Genocide") but if we start to do it can we be better than these criminals? I was researching on an Indian great person who loved the country, and people, and always worked for others without harming anyone with the weapons or anything. He chose to save his country avoiding cruelty but using love, and humanity. I also don't like atmosphere of suspiciousness and danger that can appear if people will be given right to kill extrajudicial. Of course, I don't want to say that we don't need to apply system of punishment and don't need to persecute offenders, I simply would like this method is not the main way for preventing cruelty in the world.
I like Goldhagen and his ideas because he tries to understand that triggers such
things like killing, and mass murders because it gives us a chance to find remedy or better method of prevention. If I compare society with a live organism I would say that wars are similar to deceases. Medics know that it is usually easier to prevent decease than to treat it. And if we find any decease in patient we don't need to punish him but to bottom that is wrong to fix it. I know that people usually (but unfortunately not always) less aggressive if they have predictable safe environment, don't need necessity primes and food, employed and taught to keep an order, to obey a law and have ho prejudice. This is work of politics to organize such life and make an order in country, to raise an economics and to give people enough education and opportunity to produce enough tools and food to feed themselves. As Goldhagen fairly noticed "The nature of the political regime -- the nature of the leaders themselves -- is absolutely critical for whether this potential will be turned into an actual genocide." ('Mass Slaughter Is a Systemic Problem of the Modern World') But I also want to ordinary people not to support cruelty, it would be better than kill somebody whom they don't like.
