Soočanje z genocidom

dejavniki za človeško apatijo ob odvijanju množičnih ubojev

Dunja Šiler (Author), Ksenija Šabec (Mentor)

Abstract

Združeni narodi so leta 1948 sprejeli Konvencijo o kaznovanju in preprečevanju zločina genocida, vendar ta ni prinesla želenih učinkov. Zločinom holokavsta je v naslednjih desetletjih sledilo več epizod množičnih ubojev in genocidov. V razpravah o genocidih poleg visoke statistike smrtnih žrtev in uničujočih posledic izstopa tudi prisotnost apatije in neukrepanje opazovalcev v odzivih na grozodejstva. Genocidi so s strani držav in splošne javnosti večkrat ignorirani, zato je pomembno analizirati dejavnike, ki povzročajo apatijo. K njej lahko, med drugim, pripomorejo mediji, geografska in kulturna oddaljenost tragedije ter pomanjkanje občutka povezanosti z žrtvami. V iskanju psiholoških pomanjkljivosti, zaradi katerih se posamezniki obnašajo brezbrižno do tragedij velikih razsežnosti, študije govorijo o nezmožnosti številk pri prenosu pomena in sprožanju čustev, potrebnih za motiviranje dejanj. Gre za psihofizično otopelost, pojav, pri katerem ljudje v kriznih situacijah čutijo več sočutja do ene žrtve kot do večih, kar povzroči pomanjkljiv odziv na tragedije večjih razsežnosti, kot so genocidi. Namen magistrskega dela je analizirati dejavnike, ki pripomorejo k človeški apatiji ob odvijanju genocidov. Teoretska razprava o možnih dejavnikih bo temeljila na analizi primarnih in sekundarnih virov. V empiričnem delu naloge bom s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika raziskovala psihofizično otopelost kot dejavnik za človeško apatijo ob odvijanju genocidov.

Secondary title:	Facing Genocide: Reasons for Human Apathy when Facing Mass Murders
Secondary abstract:	In 1948, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, however it has not had the envisaged impact. Over the next decades, the crimes of the Holocaust were followed by several episodes of mass murders and genocides. In addition to the high number of fatalities and devastating reports on consequences, the debate on genocide also exposes the presence of apathy and the inaction of bystanders in response to atrocities. Since genocides are often ignored by nations and general public, it is important to analyse the factors that cause apathy. Among others, the media, geographical and cultural distance of the tragedy, and the lack of feeling of similarity with victims may contribute to apathy. In search of the psychological deficiencies causing individuals to behave indifferently towards the tragedies of such a big scale, studies show the inability of numbers to convey meaning and trigger the emotions needed to motivate actions. This is known as psychophysical numbing, a phenomenon denoting that in crisis situations people tend to feel more compassion towards one victim than towards many victims, which leads to lack of response to the tragedies of larger dimensions, such as genocide. The purpose of this Master's thesis is to analyse the root causes which contribute to the feeling of apathy in individuals when mass killings are taking place. Theoretical discussion on possible causes will be based on the analysis of primary and secondary literary sources, while the empirical part will look at how psychophysical numbing contributes to the feeling of apathy in individuals during genocides through the lens of analytical questionnaire.
