Prejudice and Discrimination Article
All around us we see and hear about prejudice and discrimination whether it is from strangers or even family members. Some people do not know that they are doing this and hurting people. But there are other places that are very bad in discriminating people and being prejudice. One of these places that see or live in these types of environments is Bosnia with the Muslims and Croats.
In “Bosnia and Herzegovina are between the historical of Croatia-Slavonia to the north, Dalmatia to the south, Serbia and Montenegro to the east/southeast” (www.nationsencyclopedia.com, 2013). It is populated in ancient times since 400 BC by the Illyrians, Thracians, Celts with Greek colonies. The Romans took over around 168 BC but it took them about one hundred and fifty years to take control of the whole country called Dalmatia Province. The Roman Empire found that Bosnia is the frontier land of the western half for the reason that the line ran south from the Sava River to Skadar Lake by the Adriatic coast.
Bosnia is nominally Catholic that was under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Dubrovnik. The Bosnian Catholics used a Slavic liturgy and they modified the Cyrillic alphabet that they call “Basanica” and they had no knowledge of Latin. In the other region called Hum was settled by Serbs in the interior. This region was a mixed religion of Orthodox and Catholic that was mostly ruled by princes of the Serbian dynasty (Nemanja) in the coastal area until 1306.
Catholic Church in Bosnia has been isolated from the coastal areas and developed its own Slavic liturgy and its own practices. The customs was suspected to the Latin hierarchy both Hungary and the coastal cities in which because of the ignorance of language and customs of these simple people and of The poor communications it generated rumors and accusation of the heresy against Bosnia Church and the supposed protection called Ban Kulin. This led Kulin to call a meeting with the church
