Ethnic Conflicts

Ethnic Conflicts

A huge concern that occurs, and it seems that always will be there is ethnic conflicts. How discrimination, religion and territorial issues creates this issues.

Territorial conflicts had always been an important concern. Conflicts like “Intifada” between -Palestine and Israelis- in the Middle East because of ethnic and religious conflicts. In which had caused thousands of deaths. Moving on, on the East side of Europe, countries like Russia, Antique Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, in which all of these countries had been marked as conflictive ones and also dangerous. Some even don’t have signs in other languages; this is because they don’t even care about tourism. And recently, there was a conflict between Mexicans and Americans, the US want to build a wall so Mexican’s won’t be able to pass through it and to control immigration.

The huge conflict that has occurred about racism would definitely be World War I and World War II with the Nazis because what Hitler wanted to do was to create a pure race that would have to be Germans, and what he wanted to do was to eliminate Jews. This discrimination happens also with black people; in countries like the US you can see the huge difference between these two ethnic groups. This discrimination it’s so notorious that even police it’s involved in this, as for example the conflict named as Brutal Police, this is when police abuses of its authority, and starts beating and punching the victims only because of their color of skin.

Last but not least, Religion. We all can see how this institution had a lot of power and money, and all of their churches had been built by the lower class, in a way that they were exploited and some even die in this process. Also, with all of the money that the church has, they could save millions of lives around the world.

As a conclusion, I really think it’s absurd that in these days we have problems about ethnic issues, now days we live in an open minded society in which it doesn’t matter if he or she is white or black, thin or overweight, short or tall, we are all human beings, and we are all the same, it doesn’t matter the looks that we have we have to live in peace with each others.
