      This idea was ultimately disturbing to me as it reminds of the ideology behind capital punishment and the slaughtering of martyrs, as well as in the event of the Holocaust. Which was wrong in so many ways, but this ideology allowed people to believe their actions were justifiable. It created monsters as people believed their happiness or goodness of the world was capable of being compromised by certain populations. Its scary to think how the same ideology used for "good" can be twisted in favor of seemingly dark ways. The divisions between population culture and ethnic groups created this sense of mankind's need to hold power over another; leading to the good of one being more important than the good of the other. When in reality all men are created equal in the most perfect sense.
