Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.

Most Russian ethnics in Ukraine would support the conflict against Ukraine because they want Ukraine to become a part of the Russian Federation. The rest of Ukraine would not support the conflict because they are fighting Russia and they want to stay as a independent country. This topic does cause controversy because there are some people in Ukraine that want this country to become apart of the Russian Federation and there are others that want it to stay as is. Citizens in Crimea voted unanimously to become apart of Russia but since they are occupying the land the votes do not count. 

Western countries are not supporting the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. They believe that Ukraine deserves to be its own country and will not allow Russia to take control. Since Russia is occupying the southern part of Ukraine any vote of becoming apart of Russia is not allowed by the western countries. This topic is very controversial because it could become a all out war for more than just two countries.
