Introduction The "Lost Boys of Sudan" is a common name given to more than 20,000 boys of the Dinka and Nuer tribal groups. The research talks about the struggle of refugees, the need to resolve conflicts and various political concepts. The "Lost Boys" refers to three young boys who fled their country, Sudan, during the civil war and sought refuge in other countries. Their story describes violent events that occurred during the second civil war in Sudan. The war mainly affected the Dinka and Nuer ethnic groups of southern Sudan (Ajak, 2006). This research paper will provide a detailed comparison of opinions between a typical American and the lost boys of Sudan, regarding some political concepts. Concepts include; (1) war, (2) the role of women, (3) the purpose of government, (4) the role of interest groups and international organizations, and (5) education. War The lost boys of Sudan see the war as unfortunate, as they have no control over the violence in their region. The Lost Boys did not choose to be born into these two groups and are not willing to participate in violent activities in their environment. Boys do not support war, which is why they flee their home country to avoid recruitment into militia groups (Ajak, 2006). Therefore, war causes the separation of family members and the disintegration of ethnic groups. People lose their ethnic identity during times of war as they seek refuge in new environments. According to the children, war leads to premature death, fear, hunger, disability, violence, displacement and disease. War exposes people to greater harm than during peaceful times (Ajak, 2006). The lost boys feel that the war is a threat to their lives and their education. It's a tradition for... paper people... fighting to save their lives in war-torn Sudan. The determined boys travel thousands of kilometers where they face hunger, wild animals, thirst, invasions and disease. On their arduous journey to Kenya's refugee camps, they lose friends, relatives and property along the way. Once in the camps, the political nature of Kenya is evident, where instead of finding comfort in the camps, the boys are faced with bigger problems such as lack of food, medical care and inadequate housing. The article explores the comparison between various political concepts as seen by typical Americans and the lost boys. Concepts used include the purpose of government, the role of interest groups and international organization, war, the role of women, and education. These aspects are discussed to describe the different perspective that exists between the American people and the lost boys of Sudan.
