(a) How did the conflict in Sri Lanka affect the country?


The conflict affected Sri Lanka in many ways. One of them is that led to violence. The Tamils kept making peaceful demands like how they would like a separate state as hey thought it was the only way Sri Lanka could be peaceful, but it all the appeals were rejected by the government. So the Tamils were extremely angry with the government and resorted to violence where a group ‘Tamils Tiger’ was form that started to attack Singhalese innocent citizens, the police force and the Tamils supporting the government. However, this created even more trouble. Sinhalese started to attack back with many riots, causing many to seek refuge at other places to escape the clutches of death.

In the conflict, many companies close down for the safety for themselves and factories were damaged thus this led many jobless and unemployed.

The conflict caused Sri Lanka economy to drop as many countries do not have any confidence to invest in Sri Lanka and also the fall of tourist due to their protect their lives a conflict.

If all these have not take place, where is there foreign intervention then? India acted as a mediator but it failed to do so. Therefore, to help the civilians of Sri Lanka, India shipped food and other products to them but was turned back by Sri Lank navy; the Air force from India then dropped the products, violating the Sri Lankan airspace.



(c) “Divided loyalty was the most serious cause of the problem in Northern Ireland”
Do you agree? Explain your answer.

I agree with statement to a certain extant. Divided loyalties indeed caused conflict in Ireland. As the Catholics and the Protestants all had different point of views. The Protestants were faithful to the British and is very satisfied staying in Ireland. The Catholics were, on the hand, faithful to the Republic of Ireland and wanted to merge to with the Republic of Ireland to gain independence. But this appeal was rejected to the government and this created tension.

I also disagree with this statement, as there were other reasons that caused the conflict.

Education had its part to play. You see, the Catholics and the Protestants had separate schools and rarely mix schools. They were all taught totally different things. The Catholics were taught the history of Irland, language and games of it while the Protestants were taught the history of Britian, language and games; both groups rarely met therefore if they would meet, they would not understand each other.
The schools also affect all this. The Protestants schools were all government-funded with large buildings and wider facilities while the Catholics’ schools were not government-funded and the builders were a lot smaller with meager amount of facilities. These made the Catholics feel that the government was biased to them.

Employment is also another reason. If a Catholic with the same academic quality with a Protestant competing for a job, the Protestant would most likely get in be it a government job or a typical Protestant-run company. The number of Catholics who were employed was not proportionate to the population of Catholics. The Catholics felt that the government was biased again and without having jobs, they could not support themselves or their family.
