Answer:

Explanation:

Massacre: an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.

“an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people” Many is of course “A large quantity”. So there we have it, certainly more than a couple but if it gets to be say 100,000, which is definitely a large number, I suspect that might be encroaching into the realms of genocide.

OK so if you happen upon a car crash and there are bodies spread over the scene, 2 from each of the 2 cars, then you would immediately spot, just by looking there were 4 people involved, but if it was a pair of coaches each with 52 passengers and they were all spread around the scene you wouldn’t be able to put a number to it by just sweeping your eyes across the mess, perhaps then it is getting to be a massacre. Could that be a useful definition? If the number slaughtered is more than you can estimate merely with a look? I also think it needs to be within a definable area, like a football field, or a stadium or perhaps a town. If it involved a whole region of a country then it becomes Genocide, maybe.

Could it be then The indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of more people within a definable area than you can estimate readily with a sweep of your eyes.

Just a suggestion, so go gently on me ………….

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

Global issues can be described as the problems or issues that most of the countries of the world are facing.

For example, terrorism is now common in all continents of the world and it is rendering many people homeless and subsequently affecting the economy of the affected countries. Examples of the terrorist groups are Boko haram in Africa, ISIS in Asia among others.

Refugees are the people that have been displaced from their original abode and in need of where they can stay peaceful. This could be as a result of act of terrorism, natural disasters or war.

An ethnic group is a group of individuals that share many things in common, such as language, culture and probably found in a particular geographic zone. Examples are Hispanic, Latino, Efik, Ibibio and so on.

There are many unrest or chaos that have developed between two ethnic groups especially on boundary issues.
