Ethnic/Internal Conflicts:
-The European People are trying to eliminate the indigenous people of Argentina. This includes physical elimination, concentration practices, deportation, enslavement, identity cleansing of children, and cultural destruction. Some of these actions still happen today. The remaining indigenous people are called "survivors". Indigenous people struggle with basic rights (land and school) and cultural integrity. There is racism and slang terms used toward indigenous people such as "hablo como un indio" (Im speaking like an Indian). This has enforced deprecatory views. The government is trying to create a new census against racism. The violence involved with this ethnic conflict has led it to be considered a genocide. This is going on today in Argentina.
-Argentina is becoming a destination for drug carttells from Mexico and Colombia. There are a lot of shootings and drug raids which has led to a lot of media coverage and fear within Argentines. The government has not yet used full military action on traffickers yet which is not stopping the problem, but leading to the increase in traffickers. This is a present day issue. |
