One of the urgent problems of the society for many years, are ethnic conflicts.Although education and literacy of the majority of people living on the planet today, the differences in skin color, eye shape, and so on continue to stand between them and hamper the peaceful coexistence.There are several factors that contribute to the emergence of inter-ethnic differences.Most often they arise in large cities, where many young people of different nationalities.
main causes of ethnic conflicts:
1. The deteriorating economic situation in the region.Usually, it is accompanied by disagreements and animosity among different segments of the population.
2. Lack of appropriate state policy aimed at regulating relations among the population.
3. provocative or ill-considered statements (statements), politicians, clergy and the media.
4. Inter-ethnic strife and wars in the past.
5. Religious intolerance.
6. Cultural and historical disputes.
Whatever the reason, inter-ethnic conflicts tend to become more serious forms and can be addressed civilized and uncivilized ways.Among them are such as:
- political struggle;
- ethnic "cleansing";
- riots;
- local wars;
- religious fundamentalism.
All ethnic conflicts combine some of the features:
1. a composite, complex character.Such conflicts are possible only if the ethnic group feels discriminated on the socio-economic and spiritual characteristics.
2. deep, historical roots.
3. High mobilization.During the conflict to protect the common values - the language, faith, life.It provides mass and the interest of every member of the ethnic group.
4. The intensity of emotions, passions.
5. chronic.These rights and freedoms of one generation to another may seem insufficient.
ethnic conflicts in Russia is largely dependent on the nature, trends and prospects of the Russian nation.Sociologists, based on numerous studies argue that today the Russian nation is in crisis.The reasons for this are the following trends:
1. Depopulation.In the early 90's the first time the death rate exceeded the birth rate.
2. The spiritual vacuum.The distortion of the history, the absence of national values and patriotism among young people.
3. apolitical development of consciousness.
4. A systematic deepening of the chaotic state of the economy.
For modern Russia the problem - one of the most serious.Unfolded on the territory of the Chechen war is one of the major political and ethnic conflicts of the twentieth century.The arguments in favor of the situation and the measures taken by the authorities, are the following: severity of the conflict of interest of the world community, national and religious performances throughout the North Caucasus region.
Various events occurring in the world in recent years, have shown that inter-ethnic conflicts in many cases go beyond the regional and even the government.In modern society has developed a strong opinion that the ethnically volatile regions are home to potential subjects of international terrorism.As a result of this - sharply negative attitude to the representatives of various nationalities.
In this situation, the world's leaders can not ignore the conflicts taking place in the territories of their states.We consider the numerous ways and methods of dispute resolution.All of them are divided into three major groups:
1. The peace negotiations.
2. The use of different legal mechanisms.
3. Info way.
find a solution to these problems is difficult.It is necessary to take into account many factors.However, it must be done in the first place for the safety of every person and of society as a whole.
