In history, religion and political science, a purge is the removal of people who are considered undesirable
by those in power from a government, another organization, their team owners,
or society as a whole. A group undertaking such an effort is labeled as purging itself. Purges can be either nonviolent or violent;
with the former often resolved by the simple removal of those who have been
purged from office, and the latter often resolved by the imprisonment, exile, or murder of those who
have been purged.
