All of the following are accomplished by a relativistic understanding of mass genocide except A it reveals the ways that horrific acts can be made to appear acceptable in certain contexts. B it excuses mass killers for what they have done. C it challenges our own views on violence. D it makes events more comprehensible.

The answer is **B it excuses mass killers for what they have done.**<br /><br />A relativistic understanding of mass genocide seeks to understand the historical, cultural, and social context in which these atrocities occur. It aims to analyze the factors that lead to such events, the ideologies that fuel them, and the mechanisms by which they are carried out. This approach can help us to comprehend how otherwise unthinkable acts become possible. It can also challenge our own preconceptions and biases about violence. However, a relativistic approach does *not* excuse the perpetrators of genocide. Understanding the context does not equate to condoning the actions.<br />
