Content: German
 
and
 
Jew,
 
Hutu
 
and
 
Tutsi. If
 
societies
 
are
 
too
 
segregated
 
(divided)
 
they
 
are
 
most
 
likely
 
to
 
have
 
genocide. The
 
main
 
way
 
of
 
preventing
 
genocide
 
at
 
this
 
early
 
stage
 
is
 
to
 
develop
 
opportunities
 
in
 
a
 
society
 
for
 
people
 
to
 
work
 
and
 
live
 
together
 
who
 
are
 
from
 
different
 
ethnic,
 
social,
 
national
 
or
 
religious
 
backgrounds. This
 
will
 
allow
 
people
 
to
 
become
 
more
 
tolerant
 
and
 
understanding
 
of
 
each
 
other. In
 
the
 
United
 
States,
 
public
 
schools
 
serve
 
this
 
function,
 
as
 
they
 
are
 
places
 
where
 
all
 
young
 
people
 
can
 
go
 
regardless
 
of
 
their
 
ethnic,
 
social,
 
national
 
or
 
religious
 
backgrounds. This
 
search
 
for
 
common
 
ground
 
is
 
vital
 
to
 
early
 
prevention
 
of
 
genocide. 2. SYMBOLIZATION: We
 
give
 
names
 
or
 
other
 
symbols
 
to
 
the
 
classifications
 
of
 
ethnicity,
 
race,
 
religion,
 
or
 
nationality. We
 
name
 
people
 
“Jews"
 
or
 
"Gypsies",
 
or
 
distinguish
 
them
 
by
 
colors
 
or
 
dress,
 
and
 
apply
 
them
 
to
 
members
 
of
 
groups.
