was content in performing his job, providing stability for his family and taking pride in his life’s work. When the military in Bosnia intervened and shifted his job focus and duties from the mining of precious metals, to disposing of bodies of the Bosniak and Croat population in mass grave locations, Milos did not have to agree, he just had to keep doing his job. The military was attempting to cleanse the country by ethnic extermination and by simply performing his job, albeit with people…

In 1991, Bosnia-Herzegovina had a population composed of three main ethnic groups: Bosniak, Serb, and Croat. As a whole, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s presence within the reformed Yugoslavia was peaceful and prosperous. When the republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence in 1992 the region quickly became a war zone. Bosnian Serbs launched a military campaign to eliminate the country of its Muslim civilian population. Which was supported by Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic who help…

] Thomas Hobbes believed humans were born as brutes and we have an evil human nature. Plenty of people are villainous and dishonorable, yet for most of our life we rely on others for learning and in risky and important decisions, we listen to advice first, they we determine our conclusion. Theoretically, does this make sense? In Pyramus and Thisbe, Twenty Years On: The Unfinished Lives of Bosnia’s Romeo and Juliet, and The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the main characters must decide whether to…

It takes a horrible, disgusting, and soulless person to carry out such mass extinction of an ethnic group or nation. Considering there were many genocides that…

Colleen Wagner’s The Monument is a hard hitting piece about ‘the truth about war’ (Wagner, pg. 75). However, what truth and what war she is discussing is never exactly specified, leaving ample room for interpretation.

This is achieved through a particular vagueness in regards to which war it is referencing, a deeper message in the monument itself, and an in depth look into both sides of the…

Societies must have a powerful leader or government in order to succeed. In so many places there are examples where you can see a society with order like in the book Lord of the Flies and World War 1. As you know societies always end up falling apart and collapsing. The difference between a great society and a weak one is that one has a powerful government and the other doesn’t, therefore the one with the powerful government lasts longer. For example looking at World War 1 the United State…

Imagine yourself in a situation where there is no hope. Thinking if you will ever survive and live peacefully in a place where a massacre occurred after the Holocaust. A massacre where thousands of people died because of rape, sexual violence, and force displacement. A massacre that could have been avoided if the Serbian leader didn’t take advantage of the nationalist’s feelings. A massacre where its people wanted to be independent and break apart with its country due to religious reasons.…
