This research project is looking at the ability of blogs to help people of different ethnicities in countries with histories of ethnic conflict understand each other better. Do you believe that through blogs there is a greater understanding among members of the communities formed online? If so, name an example of an experience where you developed a better understanding of a blogger in your community who may be of a different race/religion than you. Please answer in a paragraph.

In my country live three different ethnic/ religious groups. Croatian’s , Serbs, Bosnians.
Bosnia was in a war with an alliance of Croatia and Serbia. After the war in every opinion including the internet and bloggers Croatia and Bosnia are again in good relation ship and doesn’t matter too much about the religion and don’t want the wars again like the Serbians do, Bosnians and Serbians will never be in good relation ship because they always had something against us and our religion. I’ts in their blood to hate us and want to destroy us and our religion because they’re that kind of people. This all is included in bloggers and the whole internet, there’s always a little war between Serbians and Bosnians on the internet, including the bloggers too.





Were your interactions online transformed into face-to-face friendships or associations?

On my blogg, I have a great face-to-face friendship with an Croatian.

Do the blogs you read tend to be friendly or places where people fight and make controversial, hateful statements? If hateful statements are made, is there someone who makes sure the bloggers who write those messages are blocked from the blog?

No one makes that that kind of bloggers are blocked, they are always that kind of bloggs, especially Serbian that are controversial, and have hateful statements about Islam and Bosnians.
