Essay title: Differences Between Communities in My Country

Almost in every country in the world there are different forms of communities. These communities are also known as nationalities or in a more specific term ethnic groups. These communities live in one country but their roots or ancestors came from another country. I will elaborate in this paper the nationalities in my country like Albanians, Macedonians and Gypsies.

There are many different ethnic groups in my country but the largest group is the Albanians, because they represent almost one quarter of the population. Although they live and share common culture, religion, and language they are making efforts to integrate their cultural traditions in our society, and these efforts made some incidents with Macedonians many times, but the most recent are like the incidents in 2002 in Tetovo, and Aracinovo.

What I am trying to explain is that, no matter if the people come from the same ethnic group or from the same nation, they are proud to be Albanians because their roots or ancestors came from a different community the state of Albania.

With this they transmit TV and Radio Programs in Macedonian language. They also issued newspapers and magazines on their mother language. They have also formed Macedonian organizations and foundations that carry out activities from cultural and education aspect. Like the Macedonians also the Albanians formed Radio and TV's stations on their language. They also have their own daily newspaper called FAKTI. They also opened cultural organizations and political parties. There have managed to form tree political parties: PPD (Party for Democratic Prosperity), PPDSH (Party for Democratic Prosperity of Albanians in Macedonia) and PDP (People's Democratic Party). From all of this we can see that mass media and other cultural and education activities has became the most successful practice in ways to expresses language, lifestyle and education.

Another important fact is that Albanians have managed to transport and save their own folklore in some folklore
