How do ideologies shape actions in genocides?

Asked by zutaragirl13

Answer (2)

If you think about the holocaust, hitler idealised the Aryan race without people with disabilities, mental illnesses or "non-German" ideas. He also wanted everyone to follow the Nazi regime and everyone who didn't follow was killed. So therefore his perpetrators cooperated as they didn't want to be killed themselves. Also the use of propaganda where people are promised the perfect life aids participation.

Ideologies influence actions in genocides by fostering dehumanization, scapegoating, and conformity among perpetrators. Propaganda and authoritarian leadership play significant roles in mobilizing individuals against targeted groups, normalizing violence, and justifying horrific actions. Recognizing and addressing these ideologies is essential for preventing future genocides.
