Searching for the Roots of Conflict
A class investigation …• Divide the class into groups of 2 or 3• Assign each group a country of region
experiencing ethnic conflict (see slide #5 for a list; add more for larger classes)
• Direct each group to prepare a “briefing paper” addressing the questions on the following slide, including at least one map
• If time permits, each group can report back to the class, or the briefing papers can be posted on a class bulletin board or copied for distribution

Cultural Patterns and Processes – Ethnic Conflict
• Location of the conflict (map)• What lies at the root of this conflict?• What form has this conflict taken (tension,
discrimination, open violence)?• What is the spatial extent of the conflict?• How long has there been tension or conflict?• In what ways has this conflict been manifested?• How many people have been affected? In what
ways?• Sources ( a complete bibliography of all sources
used, print and electronic)

• Students will want to “google” this assignment. Take time to discuss critical evaluation of the variety of resources that may turn up in an open search
