Failing Nation: the article basically described how nations can fall apart.
there are many factors that could tear your country apart--it can start simply by a civil war, natural disaster, or a "brutal takeover". it could also happen when the country "insinuates itself" or tears itself apart with simple mistakes. Some things that will only help with the destruction of the country is #1, geography. Geography can take a big part in how you live. it could be the one that determines your water supply, which goes hand in hand with problems with natural resources. the most important factor for a state's stability is good governance, and some countries just dont have it.
shattered Somalia:
Somalia is a place where pirates and terrorists roam freely and citizens have to hide in order to survive. there is one part of it thats pretty stable, but how long until that falls to ashes as well? Resources are scarce, and there isnt a government to jump in and help out. Somalians live life day to day without knowing whats going to happen to them, which i think is an awful way to live.
it all started 18 years ago, when the multiplying violence made somalia such a dangerous place.
i would think it would be quite frightening to live in such a place!!! if you think about it, Americans are so fortunate in knowing we can have education, great doctors, and so much more.
