the dangers of not caring

The story " the lottery " has a unexpected ending to it , it involved a family being picked by lottery then a member of the family was singled out using the same methods , then that family member was to stand on the stage well the whole town stoned them including members of that family . This act of brutality has been indirectly shown in examples as the Nazi's mindless killing of millions Jews and other groups . The reason these to events are similar is the fact that Germans and Jews use to live in the same towns then with in a few years time even the closest of friends where condemning each other to death based souly on their ethnic back ground and ideals . This could be said for many other happenings including like the kkk lashing out on blacks which is still a problem today as it was over 75 years ago , the Tutsis and Hutus mass civil war .The worst thing about these things is the kids involvement in the fighting and in these groups because if the grow up with it they are more likely to continue the behavior or pass it on to their offspring which would just keep the cycle going , behold the power of indifference .
