Essay on Selected Readings. What makes Huston so diverse.
Houston is diverse in three main ways; ethnic, economic, and cultural.
Houston has one of the most even distributions of the four US main ethnic groups compared to other major US cities. This is a result of US changes in immigration laws half a century ago and the departure of 100,000 Anglo Americans after the oil boom ended in the 1980s. Economically, Houston has large income inequality, with both some of the richest and poorest people in America. Skilled workers, many from wealthy families, as well as educated immigrants take the good jobs, while unskilled workers, such as those in the service industry, do not move up. Most kids that grow up poor cannot go to good schools, extending the cycle of poverty like their parents and leading to economic balkanization. Poor families also do not have access to good medical facilities due to a general lack of health insurance, despite Houston having some of the best medical facilities in the world. Culturally, Houston is also very diverse. The average age of a Houston resident is 32 while the average age in the US is 38, leading to a vibrant art community with lots of restaurants and making it a fun place to be. The people of Houston are also more open-minded than some might expect: Houston's main chapel has a lot of different religious books, and the city also has an openly lesbian Mayor. Houston has a collection of nationalities and races that make the city unique and interesting. All in all, Houston is diverse because it is the collection of many different groups that have come together to create a vibrant community.

Question: Describe the ethnic conflicts that came after the breakup of Yugoslavia.
The breakup of Yugoslavia was a bloody and brutal separation. The breakup occurred for three main reasons; the ethnic groups were not easily divided so it was hard to draw boundary lines, the groups thought they were better then one another, and they could not come to a peaceful agreement. There are six major ethnic groups in former Yugoslavia, the Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Bosniak Muslims, Albanians,and Macedonian. These ethnic groups were not all together, but intermingled and living near each other. This made drawing a border line very hard. A lot of these groups did not get along and thought that they were better then the other groups. As a result their was a lot of conflict around this breakup. The Slovenes and the Croats fought to break away from Yugoslavia. After the initial fighting they ethnic groups failed to come to a peaceful agreement on boundary lines which led to even more fighting. The mixed Serb, Croat and Bosniak population fought repeatedly to establish themselves. To sum it all up, the breakup of Yugoslavia was a very violent and bloody one, but not all breakups are violent.
