People’s initiative

People’s Parliament began implementation of a national project “People’s initiative”, in cooperation with several NGO’s from Belgrade, Pozega, Novi Sad and Negotin.

We started this legislative project due to restrictiveness of the actual Law on referendum and people’s initiative and related regulations, as well as parts of the Law on local self-governance who deal with local people’s initiatives.

Above mentioned laws currently restrict democratic rights of citizens of Serbia to propose legislative solutions to legislators through so called “people’s initiatives”. Evaluating parts of concerned legislations which deal with the length of the signature’s collection process from citizens supporting a people’s initiative, as well as a required number of signatures that need to be collected, we came to the conclusion that current legislative acts are too restrictive, especially when compared to similar laws in numerous European countries. In reality this laws currently make it harder for citizen’s to participate in legislative roles.

Because of the above mentioned, and some other reasons, we plan to develop and propose to legislators amendments to the Law on referendum and people’s initiative, amendments to the Law on local self-governance (especially Article 68.) and various sub-legislative acts that regulate people’s initiatives. This will be done during 10 months period, until middle of 2010. Also, we plan to organize a public campaign that will introduce the project to a wider auditorium and give it a chance to participate in it.

More information on this project and activities organized are available at www.narodnainicijativa.rs.

Comunism, Should The World Give It Another Chance?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I was born in a Comunistic country, and it wasn't easy living there for some people. But most of the rules were realy cool. Like your day was formed up of twenty four houres obviously, and the rule was you get 8 houres of sleep, 8 houres of rest and 8 houres of work. Life was easy, to those who liked Comunism. But what if you didn't? Well for first you would have to hide for the rest of your life where the goverment can't find you, ohh and if he did you either get killed or tortured.

Karl Marx, King of Comunism, Creator Of Comunism, No wait, even better....God Of Comunism. Mr.Marx and his friend Frederick Engels used the power of logics, reason and obserbation to bring back the essentials of a goverment. Karl Marx was a brilliant phylosopher who spent his time dreaming up of political and economical situations that would beinifit everybody. To him a perfect world was Comunism.

Communism was later adopted by Russia and many other countries. Karl Marx shaped the History of the world with his wonderful thaughts and ideas. Some of these thaughts were Comunism and Marxism. Also Karl Marx thaught of a way to make goverment favourable.
“Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.”
-Karl Marx

So, Would you want the word to give Comunism another chance?
I know i would.

Euthanasia
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Would you want to die a "Good Death?" Yea it sounds scary, but if you were suffering unrelievably, then would you want to die? If you chose to do so, you would be doing a thing called euthanasia. The most commonly understood meaning of euthanasia today is more than the old dictionary definition of dying well; a good and easy death. It refers, for example, to the situation when a doctor leads to the death with a lethal injection, of a patient who is suffering unrelievably and has persistently requested the doctor to do so.

Euthanasia is legal in only three US states; Oregon, Washington and Montana, it is also Legal in two countries from around the world and they are the Netherlands and Belgium.

I think that euthanasia should happen to anyone who wants it. Think about it, If you or a close family member was suffering an excruciating pain, would you let them take euthanasia?

The Power Of Language

Language,language,language, off all the human qualities that exist in the world, the one that is the most powerful is having the ability to use, understand and communicate effectively - through language. Language can be used in many different ways; good or bad. Both in which are being used in the articles.

Lets begin with bad. Languages usually tend to die out, because speakers of a small language group come in contact with a more dominate. "In the united states and Australia in the past decades, the government forced native people to abandon their languages through vehicles such as boarding schools that punished youth for speaking a traditional toung." But the good part came where karma hit the United states, as they realize that these Native languages are useful for the Second World War. Since most of these Native languages do not have a written form, it is harder to recover them, because languages that usually don’t have a written form are difficult to save.

It is already bad that languages are disappearing but we cannot lose faith to bring them back. For an example the history of Egypt, recorded in the Hieroglyphics, which were lost for many of centuries until the discovery of the Rosetta stone. This ancient stone dug up by Napoleon and his soldiers brought back the Egyptian language, followed by the
Demotic language and the Greek language. Kari Lydersen read that “A language is rated endangered when 30% of its children stop learning it. This is because when a language skips a generation, it is then difficult to recover.” Douglas Whalen president of the Endangered Language Fund explained that children up from birth have to be taught a second language, otherwise it will be forgotten.

Another example that “word is power” is how people get informed through news on Tv, internet or the radio. People in 20 different countries including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Russia and Central Asian Republics are informed with news, information and analysis with one popular international broadcast station. This station is known as Radio Free Europe. Radio Free Europe reaches 30 million people in 28 languages. For an example; Radio Free Hungary convinced the people of Hungary to revolt against the Soviet unit during the Hungarian revolt of 1956. Radio Free Hungary promised them that NATO would intervene if the citizens continued to resist, which was a lie. RFE was criticized for this information and for misleading Hungarian people.

Radio Free Europe made a difference in the good way, when the young girl was raped in Afghanistan, and president Hamid Karzai heard about it on Radio Free Afghanistan. He took actions and ordered his staff to get details. Later the girl and her family were provided with assistance, and the government demonstrated a strong stand against the common movement of older men raping girls with privilege. The “power of words” can affect people’s lives, and both mislead them or bring them to peace.

With communication through other languages, our use of language on this world has become very powerful. Many people are proud of their language, especially when it's invented by great kings. For an example; the Korean script Hangeul was invented by a Korean king in the 1400's. Having knowledge of languages that have been
passed down through generation is a special thing, because the power of language is very important. Or as Kari Lydersen would quote "The power of language is more than just words."

Who was Gavrilo Princip?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Gavrilo Princip,most people think of him as a terrorist but he was actually an assissin. He was a member of the group "The Black Hands" and he had one task; to assassinate the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his pregnant wife. The reason was because the Archduke Franz Ferdinand wanted to take over Sarajevo. As Franz Ferdinand entered Sarajevo Princip had gone into Moritz Schiller's cafe for a sandwich, having apparently given up, when he spotted Franz Ferdinand's car as it drove past. The car took the wrong turn. After realizing the mistake, the driver put his foot on the brake, and began to back up. In doing so the engine of the car stalled and the gears locked, giving Princip his opportunity. Princip stepped forward, drew his FN Model 1910 pistol, and at a distance of about five feet, fired twice into the car. Franz Ferdinand was hit in the neck and Sophie in the abdomen, and they both died before 11:00 A.M.
Ever since this day Gavrilo Princip was one of the most influential people in 20th century history since he was indirectly responsible for sparking the chain of events that led to both World Wars.

Princip's Quote:
"I only know that I fired twice, or perhaps several times, without knowing whether I had hit or missed."
-Gavrilo Princip
