I was born on March 25, 2002. My birth was of little importance to those outside of my family, but many other things that happened in March 2002 were very important. Other significant events in 2002 included the Milosevic war crimes trial, an arrest for the storage of cyanide in a subway, and the survival of a dog through a horrific ordeal. The world has experienced great years since 2002 and has seen significant changes in grocery prices and the way things are advertised. In February 2002, Slobodan Milosevic began his trial for war crimes at The Hague, in the Netherlands. Milosevic was also known as the “Butcher the Balkans.” Milosevic went before a United Nations war crimes tribunal on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity for …show more content…
The Butcher of the Balkans and his dark legacy, is forever engrained on history books and the minds of the citizens of the former Yugoslavian territories. Bosnians, Croatians, and Kosovo Albanians will forever see him as a war criminal who committed ethnic cleansing and numerous other heinous crimes (united nations international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia, n.p.). Many Serbians view him in a different light. They see him as a savior to the Serbian people who fought to keep Yugoslavia united. Diplomatic relations between Serbia and the other territories of the former Yugoslavia were stressed before the Yugoslav Wars and through the actions of Milosevic, those relations have worsened. Any positive things Milosevic may have contributed to his country will forever be overshadowed by his charges of genocide and crimes against …show more content…
Advertisements have improved using different designs, themes, and colors. In the year of my birth 2002, advertisements looked different compared to how they look now. I choose two advertisements, one from the year of my birth and on from a recent magazine that are both advertising different credit cards. The credit card advertisement from the year of my birth is a Discover card. The advertisement uses pills to spell out the word Discover and also some smaller text. The pills are in various shapes and sizes and take up the entire ad. The advertisement also has a small message at the bottom of the page saying that if you use the Discover card at Walgreens you can earn cash back (Discover 21). The credit card advertisement from 2016 shows more detail and has more things occurring on the page. The credit card being advertised is a Capital One Spark Business card. The ad has a young woman directing the work of others in front of a modern house while they work on landscaping. The ad promotes unlimited two percent cash back on all business purchases (Capital One 35). The differences between the two credit card advertisements are prominent with the Capital One card advertisement being more modern than the Discover card
This essay is an analysis of two advertising posters, one of being a modern piece of media, the other being aimed at the previous generation. I will be reviewing posters from Coca Cola and Benetton, the latter being the modern piece of media in this comparison.

A new leader arose by the late 1980s, a Serbian named Slobodan Milosevic, a former Communist who had turned to nationalism and religious hatred to gain power. He began by inflaming long-standing tensions between Serbs and Muslims in the independent provence of Kosovo. Orthodox Christian Serbs in Kosovo were in the minority and claimed they were being mistreated by the Albanian Muslim majority. Serbian-backed political unrest in Kosovo eventually led to its loss of independence and domination by Milosevic. In June 1991, Slovenia and Croatia both declared their independence from Yugoslavia soon resulting in civil war. The national army of Yugoslavia, now made up of Serbs controlled by Milosevic, stormed into Slovenia but failed to subdue the separatists there and withdrew after only ten days of fighting. Milosevic quickly lost interest in Slovenia, a country with almost no Serbs. Instead, he turned his attention to Croatia, a Catholic country where Orthodox Serbs made up 12 percent of the population. During World War II, Croatia had been a pro-Nazi state led by Ante Pavelic and his fascist Ustasha Party. Serbs living in Croatia as well as Jews had been the targets of widespread Ustasha massacres.
...s it liable and unique. It is descriptive and provides a lot of information but in the same time it is also analytical because it presents different aspects and primary sources of the Serb’s history. The parts of the book which relate to the origins of the First World War and the Balkan crisis are focused on the conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary, so it does not analyze all origins of the War, but it does analyze in depth the influence of Balkan nationalism for the outbreak and provides a large number of evidences for his arguments. The book compares and contrasts political and cultural history of Serbs and it is credible and objective. Relating to the First World War he also provides many primary sources and perspectives of different scholars. The book is authoritative and it is easy to notice that Corovic is an acknowledged expert on the subject.

In source one the leader of Serbia, Milosevic; the reason for the genocide in the wars against Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo; was charged with crimes against humanity. Milosevic sits on a bed, in jail, while saying “Finally, an ethically clean world!” The perspective of the cartoonist had when drawing this was sarcastic. His aim is to show the irony of Milosevic’s situation. He is in an “ethically clean world”, but that is because he is in jail, away from civilization. Milosevic was put in jail because in a very ultra-nationalistic way he was pursuing his and his peoples’ beliefs and values. Due to Yugoslavia breaking up many of the different ethnicities did not share the same language, religion, or beliefs and values. This caused many conflicts, and a constant unrest among these groups. When they broke tensions grew, and war was declared. During the war Milosevic targeted certain groups of people, and called it ethnic cleansing, but really he was denying that what he was actually doing was starting a genocide.
As stated by Drakulic, “The task of propaganda is to shape this difference so that it creates a feeling that there is a threat from the other side and strengthens the urge for homogenization.” (Drakulic Pg. 192) which displays the primary reason that the propaganda was created and used. The extreme media manipulation also held the capability of convincing these everyday citizens that the Bosnians were a callous group that deserved the treatment given to them. As a result, the transformation from ordinary men into war criminals was both relatively quick and almost unnoticeable. This perpetuates the idea that these men came from an extreme cultural environment that cultivated the unjust feeling towards the various populations of the Yugoslav state. With time this eventually allowed for the development of the desensitized state of mind, which was necessary for a majority of the individuals to commit the war crimes of which they are
Bosnia is a country in Europe and its capital is a city called Sarajevo. Bosnia is bordered by Serbia and Croatia. In this genocide, between 1992 and 1995, the Serbians wanted to pursue genocide against the Muslims of Bosnia. After World War 1, a country called Yugoslavia was created in 1918. It was created out of the Austria-Hungary empire that lost the war and lost its land. Serbians, Croatians, Slovenes, and Bosnian Serbians and Muslims lived all in one country. The problem was the people didn't get along and each republic wanted to take control of the country. This went on until after WWII, when the Soviet Union took power and control over the country. Joseph Broz (Tito) was leader of Yugoslavia until the 6 republics separated. Then in 1992, Bosnia declared its independence from Yugoslavia. Soon after, the Bosnian
I have chosen two advertisements that look different, but are selling the same products. The brands have different perspectives and different audiences. One is a Durango boot advertisement and the other is an advertisement for Ariat’s line. The Durango ad is a picture of two people, a man and a woman, on red rocks like the ones in Arizona and New Mexico. The male figure is in a bent knee, crouched position, wearing sunglasses, a cowboy hat, a brown leather vest, a white tank top and blue jeans with brown boots. The female figure is laying in front of the male figure,
The last two decades of the twentieth century gave rise to turbulent times for constituent republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, eventually leading them to split apart. There were a number of damaging aspects of past history and of the political and economic circumstances that contributed to the breakup and eventually caused the situation to snowball into a deadly series of inter-ethnic conflicts. Yugoslavia was reunified at the end of the war when the communist forces of Josip Broz Tito liberated the country. Under Tito, Yugoslavia adopted a relatively liberal form of government in comparison to other East European communist states at the time and experienced a period of relative economic and political stability until Tito’s death in 1980. In addition to internal power struggles following the loss of their longtime leader, Yugoslavia faced an unprecedented economic crisis in the 1980’s. As other communist states began to fall in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, some former Communist leaders abandoned communism and founded or supported ethno-national parties, blaming the economic suffering on the flaws of communism and other ethnic groups. The ethnic violence that followed would not have been possible without the willingness of politicians from every side to promote ethno-nationalist symbols and myths through media blitzes, which were especially effective due to low levels of education in the former Yugoslavia. Shadows of the events of World War II gave these politicians, especially the Serbs, an opportunity to encourage the discussion and exaggeration of past atrocities later in the century. The ethnic violence in the former Yugoslavia can be traced back to a series of linked damaging factors such as the de...
In this century, there are too many new technologies such as cars, televisions, computers, video games; and many more are coming before we can catch up. As you can see, advertisers have their way to announce and present their advertising to make you want to tryout and want to own one of their products.
In the past two decades, there has been much turmoil throughout Serbia, and without any consistency or certainty for the nation, it has led to frustration and anger for the people. They have an unfortunate past of Human Rights violations and particular regions, such as Vojovodina, have been placed on Human Rights Watch by the European Parliament. Many of these issues began with the ethnic cleanings issues during the war in Bosnia. After June of 1999, International Red Cross identified 150,000 Serbs who had fled from terror, intimidation and primarily ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and Metohija, a province of Serbia. Only about 6,000 people have been able to return home since, making Serbia Europe’s country with the most refugees. The UN is in the process of trying to get as many of these people to return as possible, but efforts have proved difficult. In addition, in this same province, nearly 1,000 Ser...
A Comparison of Two Advertisements Introduction Advertising and media are part of everybody’s everyday life, with or without them realizing. Each day we see adverts on the television showing us new lifestyles that look glamorous, we hear adverts on the radio, we see slogans emblazoned on people’s clothes, on the side of buses, on billboards, everywhere!! Big companies know that they need to make their product appeal to as many ‘niche markets’ as possible and they do this by ‘audience segmentation’. This is when companies make an advert so that it would appeal to one type of person, and then another advert for the same product but for a different type of person. Although it is hard to know exactly when there target audience will be watching, companies will spend lots of money researching.
