Question

Dehumanizing an enemy (e.g., referring to Germans as "Krauts" or Japanese as "Nips" or "Japs" during World War II or referring to Vietnamese as "gooks" during the Vietnam War) can contribute to further aggression and even wartime atrocities by____________-

Answer 1

Answer:

Reducing our ability to empathise

Explanation:

The psychological process of demonising the enemy is called dehumanisation. It makes them less human,  worthy brutal treatment and lead to human right violations, genocide, war crime and increased violence.  Systematic dehumanisation deprives a group of positive human qualities and labels an entire group as demonic. Empathy and respect is the opposite of dehumanisation. It is used especially during the war.
