The research paper explores the impact of terrorism on societies, particularly focusing on attacks that highlight the conflict between the Western world and Islam, such as the World Trade Center, Madrid, and London bombings. It examines Indonesia's experience with terrorism, specifically the actions of the Islamic group Jemaah Islamiah, which targets sites frequented by Westerners to advocate for Shariah law. The paper discusses how these attacks garner significant media attention due to the high number of foreign victims and analyzes terrorism through a specific definition provided by Gibbs.

The exploration of racism traces its roots to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, marked by the classification of human races, notably by Arthur de Gobineau. His categorization of races laid the groundwork for the notion of white superiority, which was later discredited post-World War II. The paper discusses the persistent impact of racial segregation, particularly emphasized by skin color, as evidenced in historical contexts like Apartheid and modern urban divisions. It highlights the resulting inequalities and suggests potential improvements to address these issues.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 2,0, Corvinus University Budapest, language: English, abstract: Large numbers of Hungarians found themselves in a new country as a minority after the Trianon Treaty in 1920 when Hungary lost two thirds of its land and one third of its population. Minorities in East and Central Europe have a long history and for the most part they used to live together peacefully however increasing national identity in the 19th century challenged the lives of minorities. Countries try to homogenize their population although some minorities had been living there for a couple of hundred years already. This essay examines particularly the ethnic Hungarians in Slovakia with a brief background on Hungarian-Slovak history, problems and improvements Hungarians have faced especially since the existence of the Slovak Republic as of 1993 and how Hungary seeks to support its people as a kin-state. Additionally a short insight on the other side is given, namely on how Slovaks think about the Hungarian minority and how the Slovak minority lives in Hungary.

Der Aufsatz analysiert die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen zum Schutz von Minderheiten in Österreich, einem Land mit einer vielfältigen sprachlichen und kulturellen Landschaft. Historische Wurzeln der ethnischen Vielfalt werden beleuchtet, insbesondere im Kontext der ehemaligen österreichischen Monarchie. Der Fokus liegt auf den kroatischen, ungarischen, slowenischen Volksgruppen und den Roma, wobei deren historische Entwicklung und aktuelle Situation thematisiert werden. Zudem wird die Möglichkeit der Entstehung neuer Volksgruppen erörtert, um ein umfassendes Bild der Minderheitenpolitik in Österreich zu vermitteln.
