Some examples of resources are a river to have a constant water source, or a forest for a supply of wood. The problems with this is if another person or community that wants what you have then this can cause conflict. Another thing that takes place in this is supply and demand. What I mean by this is if every community has easy access to water then this will not be as valued but if only one group has water and it is hard for other groups to get it than you will be able to trade things in return for water until the next rain storm. ]]> 2016-02-04 13:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93168944 https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93168986

Jews in France and many other places are facing a huge struggle because they feel threatened when trying to express themselves through religion in wearing a skullcap (or kippah or yarmulke)

dilemma about identity and freedom of faith

ISIS is displaying anti-semitic violence which makes Jews and people of other religions very concerned and at risk for attacks and unsafe situations

Tough decision to either not wear the religious garment, or be at risk for violence

Thousands of French-Jews are emigrating to avoid conflict

For years plans have been made to ensure peace, but none have worked out and there is still conflict.  Many Palestinians and Israelis would prefer the two-state plan, where Israelis and Palestinians would be separated into two different states. Most the conflict now over the holy land is causing a lot of border problems.]]> 2016-02-04 13:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93169038 https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93169053 A big cause of conflict is how North Korea says they made a hydrogen bomb]]> 2016-02-04 13:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93169053 https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93169078 - A conflict based on an imbalance in power

Conflict over resources (water)

Nile river is the main water source for all three countries, runs through all of them

Ethiopia wants to build a hydroelectric dam, Egypt is opposed (concerned is will worsen water shortages)

An impact study is being done, though nearly 50% of the dam is already built

Ethiopia agreed to not fill the dam with any water from the Nile until consensus is reached between three countries

Beliefs is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.

Science and religion overlap on some topics. 

Causing conflict

It’s straining the culture

Example:

Conflict between science and religion occurred in ancient Babylon in what is present-day Iraq.

Here’s a famous conflict that was between Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and the Roman Catholic Church, largely over the movements within the solar system.

Two major conflicts:

Creation science and evolution

Beliefs concerning lesbians, gays, bisexuals  transgender persons and transsexuals (the LGBT community)

Beliefs concerning the origins of the species, of the Earth itself, and of the rest of the universe are hardly life and death matters. However disagreements over sexual orientation and gender identity

Science VS Religion

Isis thinks they are superior

they are extremists- They take the conservative side to their religion too seriously to the point where it basically isn't even the religion anymore

terrorist group

they believe that the things they are doing is the only right way

They have killed around 3,985 people

They think everyone who disagrees with their religion should die

Problem because they are killing innocent civilians to prove a point

Also it's hard for us to find them because they are very good at hiding their locations

They could be anywhere, planning more attacks

This was because of the discrimination against Jews during the war and the terrible things that happened because of the discrimination. The land of Israel was a holy land for all three major religions, but it was already settled by the Palestinians. The feud over this “holy land” was and still is fought over by many groups of people. ]]> 2016-02-04 13:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93169669 https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93169894 The drought in California was brought on by not enough rain and because of that they have to drain more water from the Colorado river Basin.  Which 7 states use the water from.  They have had to use less water as a state.  ]]> 2016-02-04 13:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93169894 https://padlet.com/deisen1/CurrentConflicts1/wish/93170112 The middle east and the U.S., is struggling to control important resources such as oil. In order to control the middle east it has become a militarized region. In their communistic approach to control and maintain their wealth they control everything in their region. As a result there are many people without rights, and they blame the U.S> for their problems.
