Hutu and Tutsi divisions have existed for over 2000 years but it turned ethnic when euros took control of the country - divisions were first economic but ehwne euro powers entered Burundi they made these divisions more permanent -- later the belge introduced ID cards in he 1930s that legitamised and finalised these divisions - the Tutsi were historically in charge but were also the minority - ethnic splits with + unequel power structures angered the Hutu to violenve and the Tuts responded with self-defense - reports of violence being targeted around ethnic lines
The citizens care deply for their gov. and react to changes with passion. Deep roots of poitics within a society are hwy change of power is an institutional cultural aspect - politics as a branch of culture = risk factor

Perpetrators of the holocaust were ordinary people who's views were distorted by the Nazi regime
Hitler and the Nazi Party were not the sole perpatrators of the holocaust - it was also those that were manipulated into believing it was a part of their foundational culture of discipline
ISIS
The establishment of the Calphite = islamic state that follows Sharia Law under the Sunni ideology - the teachings of the Quran are used to manipulate the people into supporting them and the establishment of a global Calphite
Interviews with ISIS show that they educate children from an early age to mold the child into believing their interpretation of Islam which is in favour of the formation of the Calphite
Through propaganda - they use emotion to justify and defend their distorted faith as in their eyes they are under attack from the rest of the world and Allah wants them to fight

WWI led to the desensitisation of violence due tot he economic struggles of the country post-war - Discipline is an integral part of foundational culture (Disobedience to the country was met with sevre punisments - a society that values obidience cna be manipulated into a tool for violance and a furhter justification to violence enacted + the disobedience to the country was manipulated into a tool against Jews when Hitler emphasised that they were the reason as to why Germany lost WWI
