Can any one give me an example of the oppisite of genocide. Or at least something that has effected society as a whole in a positive way in the last 100 years. In these times it seem that everything we focus on has a negitive quality, And if one really bad thing can have a negative effect, I believe one good thing can have a really positive one. Sometime it just seems the positive ones are hard to find, and not easily remembered. So remind me.

Every major positive I think of has been then put to negative use by society also...

This one had me scratching my head....opposite to killing lots of people?? Well I guess it has to be something that actually saves or brings life to a whole lot of people..
How about vaccines for measles/chicken pox etc.. which were killers in their time?
or Marie Curie
anything that is not just positive, but actually promotes life rather than taking it away. I think there is a lot we take for granted now that used to kill previous generations, have a look at any medical descoveries over the last 100 years - what about the cure rate for breast cancer when caught early, the lives saved by smear tests, the blood donation programme, oohh I'm on a roll...stop me please!
Hope this helps, I'm going for a lie down now!
