Here are concise definitions for each term:
- Appeasement: A policy of making concessions to an aggressive power or person in order to avoid conflict or maintain peace; often criticized when it encourages further aggression.
- Biological warfare: The deliberate use of disease-causing organisms or their toxins (bacteria, viruses, other pathogens or biological agents) to harm or kill people, animals, or crops. (Use is prohibited by the Biological Weapons Convention.)
- Discrimination: Unfair or unequal treatment of individuals or groups based on characteristics such as race, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected traits; can occur in social, economic, legal, or institutional contexts.
- Ghetto: Originally a part of a city where a minority group (historically Jews) was compelled to live; more broadly, any urban area where a marginalized or impoverished group is concentrated, often as a result of social, economic, or legal pressures.
- Holocaust: The systematic, state-sponsored persecution and genocide carried out by Nazi Germany and its collaborators (roughly 1933–1945), in which approximately six million Jews and millions of others (including Roma, disabled people, political dissidents, and more) were murdered.
- Radiation: Energy emitted as particles or electromagnetic waves (e.g., radio waves, visible light, X‑rays, gamma rays). Ionizing radiation (X‑rays, gamma rays, some particle radiation) has enough energy to damage biological tissue and DNA; non-ionizing radiation (radio, microwaves, visible light) generally has lower biological hazard.
- Sanction: As a noun, a penalty (economic or political) imposed by one country or group against another to influence behavior, or alternatively an official approval/authorization; as a verb, to impose such a penalty or to formally approve something.
