Trifunovic: Concept Of Geneuine Recognition (Diverified Cultures)
Nov 12, 2009
The Importance of Understanding Mr. Charles Taylor's Concept of "Genuine" Recognition for Different Human Cultures and Individuals. The purpose of this essay, is to reveal the importance of understanding Mr. Charles Taylor's concept of "genuine respect" in contemporary society. Before we can begin to understand the importance of this concept, we first must realize, that all individuals and cultures, in relationship to one another, are very different and distinct from one another. To surrender oneself to this first idea, that all human individuals and cultural groups are not the same, is the first step in understanding the importance of this concept of "genuine respect". It is only after we are convinced, that all human beings and cultures have different idea's of "the good", that are not inferior to one another in status, that we can then proceed, to understand Mr. Charles Taylor's concept of recognizing other human beings and cultures with a "genuine respect". Now that we are convinced of this first idea, we can now go on to conceptualize the definition Mr. Charles Taylor gives to the word "respect". To Mr. Charles Taylor, there are two types of "respect". One is considered a "genuine respect"; while the other is a façade of "genuine respect". The latter, is in direct opposition to the first. In this sense, Mr. Charles Taylor is distinguishing the first type of respect as being a beneficial type of respect in relationship to the latter. This second idea, that these two types of respect, are in direct opposition to each other, is the second crucial idea that we must believe in order to proceed any further in obtaining an understanding of the original concept of "genuine respect". Now that we have accepted this second supposition, we can then go on to realize, that there are some people who actively want to obtain not only this concept of "genuine respect", but also, that these same people would benefit from this obtaining this "genuine respect". So let us go on to define what exactly the idea of "genuine respect" is now. To the people who want to obtain "genuine respect", "genuine respect" to them means that they do not want to receive any respect in a patronizing sense, or even, in a sense because they are demanding respect.
Trifunovic: So-Called UN "safe areas" During Bosnian War)
Nov 12, 2009
Serbs Tortured and Murdered In So-Called United Nations "Safe Areas" During Bosnian Civil War As Karadzic and Mladic Have Stated These are Serbian Men Executed Srebrenica/Brcko Area As Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic Stated (Serbs Were Being Attacked By Islamists During Bosnia War Which Is Why Serb MIitary Had To Attack Srebrenica and Other So-Called UN "safe areas" During Bosnian War) Such as These: The Definition of a 'war crime' is an entire bloc (gang) of NATO United Nations Member States lying about Serbian 'war crimes' holding the country back, and its citizenry, from future generations having a better standard of living and basic human needs, by using economic sanctions, EU threats etc. to cover up their own political crimes; also against Republika Srpska too. The ICTY has given NO media coverage to this matter of fact. The ICTY only covers alleged crimes that they claim are committed by "Serbs" against Muslims. The ICTY also gives no coverage (media) whatsoever to the crimes listed here I posted against Serbs by Croatia (Such As These). http://picasaweb.google.com/lpcyusa/PhotoEvidenceOfCroatianWarCrimesAgainstSerbia# (please visit this link to view more).
Trifunovic: ON ALLEGED SERBIAN ANTI-ROM RACISM AND PERSPECTIVE OF RELATIONS BETWEEN SERBS AND ROM GYPSIES
Nov 12, 2009
A horrible, black night rises over mankind! Peoples, seek and find your path before the night comes! Woe to the nation that is caught by the night before finding the path! That nation will not be able to go through the black night indeed! It will not live to see the purple dawn. During the night that approaches, it will be crushed and will perish. This study was made owing to the Serbs from diaspora: Mr Pedja Zoric, Mrs Margarita and Mr Bojan Petrovic, as well as the Balkan Peace Organization from Toronto. Dragan Simeunovic Ph.D. ON ALLEGED SERBIAN ANTI-ROM RACISM AND PERSPECTIVE OF RELATIONS BETWEEN SERBS AND ROM GYPSIES The aggressive media and political campaign against Serbian anti-Roma racism that has swamped us recently surprised many of us, or, at least led some of us not only to consume it as digested truth, but to reflect upon racism as a serious social evil, and seems, judging by many facts, the campaign that has been intensified only a short while ago, while it had actually been prepared for a long time and has been lasting for quite a while in its less boisterous ways. This is proved by numerous books, articles and headlines, such as, here just exemplary chosen, book by Bogdan Denic on ethnic nationalism published a couple of years ago. As a study which tends to describe and explain the civil war on the territory of ex-Yugoslavia, it contains a chapter, completely methodologically unsuitable and surprising to the reader, on negative attitude of Serbs towards Romanies. The surprise for such an attention for Romanies in a war book, although they were neither massive victims nor qualified aggressors in the war, is accompanied by the observation that this and such books have been telling for years now a story of some special Serbian intolerance towards the Rom gypsies, although a mere remembrance of all of us who used to live in ex-Yugoslavia testifies that a more or less the same attitude as Serbian was held by the Slovenes, Moslems, Macedonians, not to mention the Croatian Jasenovac concentration camp attitude which certainly deserves much bigger attention.
