Research Question

What is the affect the level of education/socio-economic position of a person, people or country have on the ability and effectiveness to carry out a genocide?

In order to properly answer this question I will need to find books that relate education to genocide. I am going to try to avoid journalistic pieces because the bias that comes with them, in this case in particular, will take away from my arguments credibility. I will also have to learn more about a variety of genocides; in order to sufficiently prove a point, the Rwandan Genocide and Holocaust will not be enough. Also, the Holocaust will make an interesting point because Germany at that time was one of the most technologically advanced/educated countries in the world. This is where I will need to research socio-economic status- they were really poor and desperate at this time.
