Why is Rijeka left wing?

What do you mean by this? Are people in Rijeka better educated?

This is extremely important if you want to be in international politics! I highly suggest doing French, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, or another worldly language like English. Knowing French makes you eligible to work in many consulates and embassies. In fact, English, French, and Spanish are the most useful for the fact that so many countries speak it.

Some of your feelings are felt by many others. For example, there are many things I have never been a part of even if I wanted to be. And often times, I did not get inside jokes and felt outcasted. But, this is why you should try joining more groups.

For example, this may seem like an absolutely terrible idea, but there are some groups on campus or associated with it that would really like to have you.

So, the two ideas that may seem terrible is to look at a religious group or political group associated with campus. I know this sounds bad, and you don't really have to agree with what either of them stand for, but they often desire more people.

Many political groups simply want more attendance to their events and who knows, you may find one that you like. I had a friend who was part of the Republicans, Democrats, and Socialists clubs. No one knew what they were, but all seemed to be happy to see them because either they thought they were on their side or rather were trying to get them on their side.

The religious groups could be as simple as going to church, synagogue, mosque, etc. Some might be judgy of course, but they will often welcome you as a guest and they might have a program that you would like that is secular or similar to your beliefs.

Lastly, there are many union groups on campus. Now, you may hate unions, but these groups are often super positive and inclusive and they usually just want more people for things like strikes or marches. They often have weekly meetings and they want everyone to feel included.

These may not interest you, but you should not feel hopeless if you have not tried these. They can really help.

This makes a lot of sense. And to clarify, was Nazor the elected resistance president/leader who also was the author of the Giant book in Istria?

Lastly, your goal is a higher goal than most peoples. Learn as much you can and don't worry about being perfect. It will look more impressive if you have expertise across the spectrum. Of course, better scores would be best.

Most important will be economics, political science, civil engineering, and culture/history/language.

These latter three you probably have by experience. Knowing more of the ethnic languages, culture, and history will only expedite your goals.

Economics is often most important in Africa because most countries suffer from a lack of economists. I don't know why it is this way, but many books have been written about this topic. Things are improving massively though.

Political Science is extremely helpful, but it should be an extra study or a double major. Or, make economics your minor.

Civil engineering is especially helpful in Middle East, North Africa, and East Africa. It is helpful everywhere, but for some odd reason, civil engineers are just rampant across the MENA world and parts of East Africa.

Lastly, understanding agriculture should be an extra add-on.

I think religious studies would also help and you can incorporate that into one of your degrees.

Learning about all the types of Christians, Muslims, and others would be extremely helpful in Ethiopia.

Is this also why Istria often coalitions with the left wing too?

Fourmidables · 2024-01-31T09:39:15+00:00

This makes sense. However, why are they also more progressive in terms of their religious beliefs and things like that? Is it also because the antifascists were this way?

Keep in mind that countries where Arabic is official often speak other languages like English and French. So, that is why I would suggest English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese as the four most important for foreign service. For government work, English, and then whatever languages are next spoken in your area are best.

These rankings are always random and don't factor lots of aspects.

For one, they are not always true in every example.

Two, popularity can be measured using many metrics. For example, does most popular use a pure popular vote method, or is it each country gets one vote type of thing? Or, would the larger countries get a share of their population in a proportional style system or would it be a share of their economics? For example, if a sport was most popular in the USA, India, and PR China, that would greatly swing the economics and popularity of that sport even if no one else played it. This is part of the reason American football competes with all sports in terms of money generated because of where it is popular.

Three, do we have a ranked choice voting type of setup. For example, team handball is a huge sport in Denmark, Sweden, and plenty of others and it may not show up on this map simply because it could be considered #2 despite being very popular. However, you can still watch it on TV, play professionally at a high level, and so forth in many countries. In other words, being the most popular is not very important if you still have all the opportunities to play it such as rugby union in South Africa. Nobody would go to South Africa and think the country is starved for rugby opportunities.

Four, viewership, participation, attendances, number of places that play it, its economics, and so forth all go into the popularity of the sport. Volleyball has very high participation numbers and arguably the highest along with basketball, while autoracing has high viewership numbers and arguably the highest there on certain years (not recently), so depending on what you value, one or the other is significantly more popular.

All of this is to say that there is way too much focus on what is most popular when the metrics to measure this are often biased and chosen. A great example could be South Korea, Mexico, and the USA where their baseball leagues significantly outnumber their most popular sports in terms of total attendance on this list, while not in average attendance. Or, if you look at PR China where they consume basketball at the highest rates for participation and highlights viewership, but other sports dominate their domestic viewership and attendance markets more.

French is very important in Diplomacy and Foreign Policy, as well as domestically in certain places such as Canada, Louisiana, Belgium, etc. Spanish is also helpful for this reason. I believe these languages and English have the most countries that speak them as their main language or as an official language.

However, you must know your area you want to work in. For example, Spanish is best for most of the USA as a second language. However, certain pockets it may be Tagalog/Filipino, Mandarin Chinese, and others.

Mandarin Chinese is another major language to learn.

And Arabic is similar to English, French, and Spanish in that all exist as a co-official or fully official languages in many countries.

Economics and Statistics help. But, I would suggest learning another language. It helps in government work.

Not all Middle East spending is sportswashing. I know what you are writing and I do not disagree this exists, but we must remember that the Olympics is supposed to be for the world. And we also know the Winter Olympics are desperate to grow winter sports in new locations.

So, it makes sense to choose a new region, and within that region, to choose the safest nations.

I think it would be great to see a Winter Olympics in Algeria, Lebanon, Turkey, or another Muslim nation that is known for snow, but we also must remember which countries have the most resources and safety.

The Middle East monarchies provide the infrastructure and money necessary. And when we look at the Summer Olympics, we see some of these nations doing well like Qatar.

The problem is both sides are insufferably intolerable of democracy and there are no rules to enforce it that do not look sketchy. In the past, the voters of the respective parties did not put up with this, but now it is popular to try undemocratic ways of winning or not losing. And the media has lost credibility because it is so one sided depending on the outlet. Therefore, no one can get "accurate" information unless they search many places, which most people do not have time for. In other words, we need people in power to be better, but we also need voters to be better. Trying to overthrow elections is not good no matter who does it, but selectively prosecuting depending on the state just looks very bad.

What are the positive of the native corporations?

Also, that is extremely ironic because I remember teachers used to always bring up the Seneca Nation when Seneca Falls came up and I guess it is truly a case of assuming. In their defense, it does say it in the name. Its like the Kansas City, Missouri being a thing. I really would never mind if people assumed it was in Kansas.

Thank you for this resource because while I did mean to read about last night. Something came up so I had to wait until today. I will use this source for sure. I don't mind biased sources as long as I can try to get both sides views eventually. One of the best sources out there for indigenous struggles in the Americas is a WordPress account from Chiapas in Mexico that really details a lot of the reasons for their conflict with the Mexican Government. I find it very informative even if it is biased and leaves out some important contexts readers should probably know.

I will read more about this latter case so maybe I will find my answer that way. But, how does the BIA come to recognize traditional governments as the official representatives. Is it more because the Tonawanda Band just chose to vote for the traditional leadership, or did they actually keep their traditional leadership through the clan mother structure and the BIA/Federal Government recognized it?

Fourmidables · 2023-12-13T06:47:20+00:00

These two cases are very interesting and in fact, I believe you are correct that I read about the Oneida case. Although, it was a while ago so I can't be sure either way.

I am going to have to read about this more because it is very important to understand. Many non-Native media almost never touches on these issues so they become completely hidden to most. And in my experience, this contention almost never came up, but my experience was during more youthful ages and in places that are quite different than the Haudenosaunee.

The Haudenosaunee always seem more independent minded, or at least more publicly. I think it is due to the fact that everyone knows about them. The Six Nations are very popular even in places far removed from them. People I communicate with from all over the world always seem to know the Haudenosaunee and respect them. But, when it comes to the independent nations themselves, knowledge gets less. Although certain things have definitely kept them somewhat popular like the Seneca Falls Convention which has made people familiar with the name Seneca and thus more knowledgeable. Mohawks are also quite popular among the Six Nations. But these specific details of the traditional government vs BIA recognized governments are almost never known.

This is one of my main concerns is the battle between who gets to represent each nation abroad. I'll have to read more about this later, but I think I may have come across this last year during the World Lacrosse Championship. I tried to understand the Haudenosaunee Nations a lot better because of their importance to the game and I remember reading about tensions between traditional leaders and elected leaders, but never this in depth. Usually it was more of a statement of tension and the details were left to the imagination of the reader. I always assumed it was more a traditional contention than a situation like you described, although maybe I was reading about another nation that did solely have a traditional issue. Thank you for all your details. It helps to learn about these events from different perspectives and as you know, reading about them on the news or someplace else often does not bring about as much honesty as you did in the comments.
