In 1996 Gregory Stanton, the founding president of Genocide Watch, presented a briefing paper called "The 8 Stages of Genocide" at the United States Department of State. In it he suggested that genocide develops in eight stages that are "predictable but not inexorable". In 2012, Stanton added two additional stages, Discrimination and Persecution, to his model, which resulted in a 10-stage model of genocide. The stages are not linear, and usually several occur simultaneously. Stanton's model is a logical model for analyzing the processes of genocide, and for determining preventive measures that might be taken to combat or stop each process. As the things we could do, are: 1. protect our natural, so those things can live in a safe environment. 2. when we saw someone trying to kill or sale or use those animals as pets, we need call the police, or ask them to stop. 3. we need stop use those fur clothes that made by animal's furs. So that, the community will be better and we can have a better natural and a better world.

The stages of genocide is tribalism, political intolerance, domination of political power, corruption, Nepotism.

Explanation:Genocide is the killing of the whole race of people. It is a criminal offence and a crime against humanity. The focus of this essay is based on the Rwandan genocide that took place in 1994, it was carried out by Hutu political elite who occupy the top level of Rwandan government. It started after the assassination of president Habiyarimana in 1994.

The genocide saw the killing of Tutsi, and moderate Hutu who were not in support of the killing of Tutsi. They move from house to house, church, mosque, schools to kill the Tutsi. It was recorded that an estimated 1,000,000 people were killed as a result of the genocide while thousands were rendered homeless.

The genocide however, was brought to an end when major Paul kagame and his Rwanda patriotic front(RPF) came to power to bring normalcy to the country. Also with the support of United Nations and other world powers peace was restored to the country and those who perpetrated the genocide were made to face the wrath of the law by putting them on trial at the international criminal court in Hague Netherland.

Conclusively, with a view to prevent the reoccurrence of the incidence the international community should not sit on the fence and watch things deteriorate before they step in to restore peace to any troubled nation.
