Why peace and democracy can not be developed in some countries?




Achieving peace and democracy can be difficult in many counties such as Palestinian
and Israel . This is mainly due to culture and religious . All humans are equally cultured, but at the same time we are all equally cultured in different aspects, which displays itself through cultural variety. There are many features according to the theory of anthropology that makes us different from each other. However, in case of Palestinian and Israel states both have been involved in religious and political conflicts. Although many people claim that the current conflict in Middle East is rooted to 20th century, and is infact related to the land which has been occupied by Israel over many years this is not a case the reason is that Religion and politics it suggested that should never mix. Religion is a personal choice and should never be used in regards to decision making for the whole population. If politics and religion mix the problems arise of what religions and what issues. The Jewish may want a ban on abortions. The Islamic community may want headscarves worn by all women in public. A religious person might be happy to have their religious issues as part of the state law, but this is may not work for other religions. This is exactly what America is trying to do in Palestinian and Israel. In addition to this , there are rules forced by a government which are not acceptable in religious practice such as a gay marriage this the central problem in these countries as to why the development of democratic and peace may never be established.
