The Importance Of Living In A Bosnian Country

724 Words3 Pages

Being lucky enough to live in the very privileged city of San Francisco, many people including myself are very unaware of “minor” issues that actually cause massive dilemmas in the everyday lives of many misfortunate people. Being the first American born child in a one hundred percent Bosnian family allows me to have an understanding of two very different countries and with constant vacations to Bosnia, I have first person experiences of the countries and the simple conclusion I come to is that USA and Bosnia are virtually incomparable. The issue that I am discussing in my advertisement is the lack of effort the Bosnia and Herzegovina government have to construct paved roads throughout the entirety of the country. The lack of a strong government due to disagreements between ethnicities even 22 years after the war cause the nation to be at a constant halt rather than improving leaving the citizens as the only ones suffering. …show more content…

The reason why this is an issue is because a large amount of the Bosnian population lives in the countryside which means that constant commuting and traveling to the city is actually a very dangerous trip on sandy, rocky, uneven roads around mountains and connecting suburban cities and villages. The people that live outside of the cities are very much economically deprived leaving them two choices; farm and transport the food and livestock to the cities or commute to work in the cities. These trips can be best described as sketchy and dangerous with a high number of deaths caused by people driving off of the roads and accidents that are mainly caused by very difficult driving conditions with no cement roads, no roadside lighting, small roads, and no

  • Stop The Rwanda Genocide

    2030 Words  | 9 Pages

    The best solution to prevent the genocide is to identify and spotlight the countries in danger of genocidal violence and the population should be educated about the abuses of ethnic identity and ethnic cleansing. Moreover, the international community could prevent the genocide by various methods such as negotiations, mediation, coercive methods like defaulters and sanctions, use of high technology like the signal jamming of radio stations. In addition to this, international communities need to break their silence and resolve indifferences and to implement the ‘political will’ strictly; they should be committed towards the principles of power sharing, consensus building, post conflict recovery and timely action. President Bill Clinton admits, about the Rwanda genocide failure, that it was one of “the greatest regrets of [his]

  • The Perils Of Indifference By Elie Wiesel

    540 Words  | 3 Pages

    In July of 1995, 8000 Bosnians were killed during the war in Bosnia, which is the largest massacre in Europe since the Holocaust. An estimated total of 100,000 people were killed and over 2 million people were displaced (Past Genocides). Although the United States and the whole world knew what was going on, they decided to be indifferent to the cause and the US refused to send in troops. Wiesel says, “Indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor” (Wiesel). By being indifferent, the US was helping the Serbs with the benefit of allowing them to continue killing the Bosnians and continued to avoid helping by referring to the conflict as an “ethnic cleansing” rather than “genocide,” which it was.

    However, Paul Rusesabagina teaches us that one must never underestimate the power of being well intentioned and kindhearted. It would have been easy for him to escape the hotel with his family and leave those thousands unknown Rwandans behind. The author explains, “ A sad truth of human nature is that it is hard to care for the people when they are abstractions, hard to care when it is not you or somebody close to you” (235). That is why one of the most valuable lessons one can take from reading An Ordinary Man is that one should always try one’s best to put ethnical, racial and economical differences aside to do what is our power to lend a hand. The author explains: “We cannot change the past, but we can improve the future with the limited tools and words that we have been given”(230).
