RJA #2b: Research Topic
The research topic in my case is "Mental/Psychological/Social Post War Effects in Bosnia". I chose it because it's personal and I have a lot of questions I am curious about. I left Bosnia right after the civil war and was sent away for a couple of years during the war. A lot of my childhood friends from Bosnia are on my Facebook account, and talking to them I seem to get completely opposite descriptions of the country's well being presently.
The information I have gathered is either extremely positive or negative. I am hearing the "war generation" is completely messed up. War generation refers to my generation... during war kids, post war adults. A lot of them are druggies, thieves, and the suicide rate is alarmingly high. On the other end of the spectrum I am hearing the country is thriving. Many new businesses are blooming, people have decent income, and many tourists from world around are visiting.
Every country has its good and bad, but I want to know how majority of the current population is doing. I would like to know if there are many natives still living in Bosnia and how many of them actually stayed during the entire war. I would like to know the suicide rate... the unemployment rate... overall quality of life. Maybe include number of mentally ill and war injury survivor rates. It feels like any info I find with a most current date (after 2000) will be post war information. I may need to compare pre vs. post war information throughout my research.
Thanks,
DZ

RJA #1: Areas of Academic Interest
I haven't decided what my research topic is going to be quite yet but I am leaning towards something about mental health. Some academic aids I can use include:
- PSY 1001
- ENG 1010
- SPE 1010 (I did research on Schizophrenia and did a speech about it) If I find my notes it can be very helpful
- PSC 1020
Thanks!
