The Effects Of Repression On Ethnic Minorities

We would have started with a certain number of terrorist attacks in each state, thus we would compare the number before the experiment and after the experiment took place to record if there was any difference in those numbers. The next assessment we would make is a comparison of those numbers against whether there was state repression or not. This assessment is so that we can compare what the effect of the different amounts of repression were for each state. We are looking for whether there was a continuation in terrorist activities after repression and if there was, how the number of terrorist attacks was affected by the

The second Part of Jonathan R. White’s ninth edition Terrorism and Homeland Security deals with the national and ethnic movements of international terrorism, their emergence as well as well as motifs. Ideological terrorist and ethnic separatists are hard to differentiate since they use the same procedures and tactics to get their demands. Although both fall under the definition of terrorism, there is a difference in the definition of their goals and demands. While separatists have defined, achievable goal, religious terrorists have a nihilistic ideology that are from a rational point of view not feasible. Therefore, it is impossible for satisfactorily negotiation

The purpose of this minority report is to discuss the ways in which non-Muslim minorities, particularly Christian Armenians, are subjected to violations of fundamental civil rights by the Turkish government. According to the studies conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Turkey consists of 99.8% Muslims and 0.2% Christians and Jews. There are an estimated 60-70,000 Armenians that currently reside in Turkey, most of whom are primarily located in the city of Istanbul. With that being said, it is evident that Christian Armenians form a small religious minority in Turkey; hence, they are easy targets of persecution and injustice.

When a repressive motive, action, or belief, is evident, for example racism, then the correct response is to reject the premise and recognise the false doing, but when there are so many prosecutions of things that are truly not racist, sexest, or bigoted, raises the question of whether the affirmation is for the victims of such repression or if it is for the spectacle of inclusion to a greater cause, if not one thing is certain the motive of the S.J.W. is unclear (“Slavjo Zizek” by Matthew Sharpe). When by stating an observation or criticizing a particular group of individuals or beliefs in turn is inherently bigoted denies many opportunities for progressive thought and conversation. When one proposes the need for change or is trying to justify a point of view while the fundamentals of their argument are overseen for the statements decontextualized, discredits any foreign objective conclusion. Only verbalising through means of non-offensive speech distorts reality when communicating thoughts or ideas, especially if influential people of power conform to the pressure of political

Although I believe that oppression is universal as anyone can feel oppressed, it doesn’t only pertain to certain groups of people. Those with more resources and possess a higher socioeconomic status is more less likely to be systematically oppressed in society. I considered women, minorities, children, non-English speakers, and disabled people to be oppressed within my residence area.

Minority groups have struggled to fit in and to have a voice in their communities in nearly every aspect of life since the beginning of time. To add to this struggle, some of the majority groups have taken advantage of these situations and caused chaos for the minorities. This chaos has ranged from simple discrimination to extreme measures of mass annihilation. Throughout history, genocide has been a recurring problem in several countries around the world, due to war, economics, and leadership. Despite the cause, world leaders have been ignoring these mass killings and onlooking countries must work together to identify genocides as quickly as possible and bring them to an end. As the rest of the world waits for a solution to come about, thousands

Society cannot be surprised when the oppressed finally decide to rebel against the oppressors. Violence is inevitable. The oppressed deserve to be heard, to be given a chance at their dreams. They cannot be blamed for their actions, because their actions are only a repercussion. Their hands have been forced by years of suppression, decades of ridicule, and countless lost

Regan and Henderson theorize that a regime will engage in more repression if its leaders sense a great political threat. While a typical autocracy allows zero expression of opposition and a democracy offers numerous channels for expression,

The ‘inflammation’ explanation displays civil war as emerging when prejudicial government policies and repression stimulates dissidents to increase their rebellious efforts .In this explanation, prior-repressive activity outrages citizens who posteriorly increase dissident behavior to the level of civil war. Gurr (1970, 2000) stated that, repression increases people’s "from psychological to physical" sense of political, economic, and social deprivations and thence it increases dissident activity. Gurr and Moore( 1997) also proposed that levels of repression and levels of mobilization affect each other and in turn such tit-for-tat interactions raise the prospect of large-scale rebellion by an ethno political group . Sambanis and Zinn (2006)

The crime of genocide is a grave concern of the international community: its occurrence is not simply a phenomenon of the past, but one that has recurred in diverse parts of the world, including in recent times, with the shocking annihilation of hundreds of thousands and even millions of persons. Since my appointment as the Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide in 2012, I have drawn attention to the fact that these events occurred as a result of identity-based con icts, con icts rooted in tensions among and discrimination against different national, religious, ethnic and racial groups. If action had been taken earlier to address these tensions, prevent discrimination and promote human rights protection for all and respect for the rule of law, then lives could have been saved.1

One of the major facts is discrimination towards ethnic minority groups. Immigrants’ desire to access health care services solely depends on how they are treated by the front line health care staff at hospital settings as well as if they have available, professional interpreters when they enter the facility. (C. Hong, Personal interview, June 30, 2015). De Maio and Kemp in 2010 identified that immigrants who faced discrimination reported to have worsened mental health impacts. Thirty percent of participants in this study stated that they “experience discrimination or unfair treatment because of their ethnicity, culture, race or skin color, language or accent, or religion” (De Maio and Kemp, 2010). Another mechanism that co-relates with discrimination

As a result of these processes, the violence of the state is an entity of it's own. It is only somewhat controlled by the citizens tasked with enacting it's decree, and it is entirely alien to majority of the populace. On the side of application and reception of legal violence, the citizen is the “other” under a legal wall, constantly aware that as they enact legal violence they are also threatened with being under legal violence.

Immigration as a whole has never been so much at the forefront of European politics than it is today. Streams of refugees are flooding in from Syria, and the issue of migration and immigration has once again become prevalent. This influx of migrants could be pushing Germany, and, by expansion, the rest of Western Europe to its breaking point. Conflicts and internal resentment between ethnic minorities and native citizens is approaching an all-time high. Syrian refugees often arrive in poor health (Böttcher, 2015), and so are received  with mixed emotions. What makes Germany in particular a perfect case study is that Germany has one of the most complicated and nuanced history of nationalist identity. While still lagging behind political representation in several other European democracies, more ethnic minorities and immigrants have entered the German territory in 2013 than ever before.  With one of the most complex historical formations of identity, Germany has undergone dramatic change in national narrative. From insisting that Germany was not a country of immigration throughout the 1990s to a liberalization of public opinion that make Germany more liberal than her surrounding nations in terms of immigration, there is evidence of drastic changes in the past decade. By looking into the past and utilizing existing research, a cohesive concept of the German identity can be discovered. Applying the new German nationalist identity to an influx of immigrants may be the only

One salient theme in the reading focused on how institutional racism and oppression has allowed for “target” groups in society to be within a cycle of subjugation (Landreman & MacDonald-Dennis, 2013, p. 12). Those within the privileged groups have made the rules of the game so that they can benefit, while others remain in a state of suppression. This dominance is often supported by institutions who privilege certain identity groups over others. Thus, there are numerous sources that contribute to the socialization of individuals into their identity groups. As Bobbie Harro

The desire of authoritarian regimes to co-opt civil society and social organizations is facilitated by a range of controls aimed at stifling the
