In Rwanda in 1994, members of the Hutu tribe killed thousands of Tutsis, a rival tribe.  Thousands of Tutsi took refuge at the convent of two Hutu nuns, Sister Maria Kisito and Sister Gertrude.  But the nuns reported them to the Hutu militia and assisted in the ensuing massacre of those who had fled to them for shelter.  What social-psychological reasons are there for this prejudice and hatred between groups?

We all put meaning into things, which is symbolic interaction, including humans.  The people running to the nuns for help was there way of crying for help. There's something called, " the definition of the situation".  This is where even though someone knows it is wrong to do they will still do it, to fit it.  Maybe they also feared for their lives therefore they told where they told where the refugees were to save their own lives. 

An example of this would be teenagers smoking, they know that its not right and its harmful.  There's a lot of literature out there, but yet they do it to seem cool.  It all has to do with conformity.
