Possibly, because I had no idea what the project was clearly about so I resented it head on. After review from my professor, I started out very shaky and was definitely on the wrong track. I had to start over focusing more on researching cultures in conflict. Sure enough surfing through the Encyclopedia I found a cultural conflict that I found interesting and examine for my project. Overall, I chose to analyze the conflict in Kosovo, southern Serbia. I applied myself fully while researching, taking notes and forming ethical principals while preparing to side with one of the groups in conflict. For those who may not be familiar with the conflict in Kosovo, in brief, it started when the president gave direct control to the capital city of Serbia. There were two ethnic groups throughout the province, Serbians and the Albanians. The Albanian group did not favor the change of status of the region so they formed the Kosovo Liberation Army to fight to change the status back autonomy. As a counterattack, the Serbians raveled up special police, militias and the military and savagely killed the ethnic Albanians and the other inhabitants. They refer to this attack as the ethic cleansing. I believe that the Albanians were ethically right, in the sense of; they foresaw an issue that they knew could not be address peacefully so they formed a defense for protection of their opposition. They were only fighting for their country. On the other hand, Serbia’s government whom were mainly Orthodox saw the Albanians Muslims gaining demographic control of an area sacred to the Serbians. The Albanians reaction of the government change only justified the ruthless killing of the Albanians. As a result of the small war in Kosovo, many lives were taken on account of the government status change of the region. To say more, the Albanians were only looking out for its regions best interest. There was no way the land could be civilized after the political change from autonomy to a dictatorship government. Rightfully, the conflict in Kosovo was stimulated by differences between the two ethnic groups, Serbians and Albanians, politics and religion. The Albanians were the real victims of the Massacre in Kosovo. In the end, if I was asked “for the people or against the people?” you would know that I definitely for the people Getting started with Project 2 my English Composition II course was one of my greatest challenges of the year.
