Education, Religious Opposition and International Conflicts

The article analyzes the interrelationship between the influence of various factors of people's socialization /including their religiosity/ and their attitude towards international conflicts and their participation in them.More specifically, the influence of the Bulgarian legislation, the holiday system in the country, and actual discrimination is examined.One of the conclusions is that the stimulation of religiosity, discrimination against people of Muslim religion helps to stimulate social conflicts.Cultivating respect for other religious systems is a means of softening people's negative attitude towards using violence against such religious minority groups, towards maintaining or initiating military conflicts.
