- 311: Harry Elmer Barnes
- ... to burn the books, using the firemen, I grunted a few times and subsided, for there were no others grunting or yelling with me, by then." (11) Fahrenheit 451 trends are perhaps most prevalent in Germany. Günther Deckert, a school teacher translated into German a work of American execution consultant, Fred Leuchter, titled The Leuchter Report. The report is Leuchter's 1988 analysis of the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz and ... time, in a Karlsruhe court, Judge Eva-Marie Wollentin sentenced him to two years imprisonment - in what has been described as "the freest state in German history. The Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung spoke for many of Germany's modern editors in an editorial, intoning that it was a just sentence. "There was no reason to suspend the sentence passed on the rightwinger," it declared. "Deckert showed not the slightest repentance" In that ... receiving numerous complaints, a German publisher ordered the "recycling" of John Sack's An Eye for an Eye which recounts the story of Jewish revenge against the Germans after World War II. Citing information from Germany's Federal Archives, Sack, who is himself Jewish, maintains that 60,000 to 80,000 ethnic Germans were killed or otherwise perished between 1945 and 1948 in camps run by the Polish communist regime' ...
- 312: Life On The Farm
- ... the stock market crashed in October of 1929. The depression spread throughout the world because American exports were so dependent on Europe. The United States was also a major contributor to the world market economy. Germany along with the rest of Europe was especially hit hard. The parallels between crop failure of the farm and the depression in the 1930s are clear. Only the leaders and the die-hard followers ate ... of the pigs, the intentions of the communists can be carried out with little resistance and without political disarray. Squealer is also thought by some to represent Goebbels, who was the minister of propaganda for Germany. This would seem inconsistent with Orwell s satire, however, which was supposed to metaphor characters in Russia. Orwell describes Snowball as a pig very similar to Napoleon at least in the early stages. Both pigs ... nor ever could be much better or much worse hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life. The pigeons symbolize Soviet propaganda, not to Russia, but to other countries, like Germany, England, France, and even the United States. Russia had created an iron curtain even before WWII. The communist government raved about its achievements and its advanced technology, but it never allowed experts or scientists ...

- 314: D.h. Lawrence
- ... damaged further. The doctor told him outright that to return to teaching would be to court tuberculosis and so, again, his life's direction was dictated by his lungs. An aunt had in-laws in Germany and a plan was suggested whereby Lawrence could go to stay with them and perhaps spend some time as a Lektor in a German college. Ernest Weekley, a professor of Modern Languages at Nottingham University College, where Lawrence had been a student, was consulted about the plan and invited the young man to lunch. Lawrence accepted the invitation and within two months was indeed in Germany. Not, however, as a Lektor but as lover of Frieda Weekley (nee von Richthofen), the thirty two year old mother of Weekley's three children. Life was not easy for the couple. Frieda had high ... that she could not accept the loss of her children - as he had to accept the loss of his beloved mother eighteen months before. (Bocker 15) With little money they traveled, often on foot, through Germany (where Lawrence was accused of spying) and Switzerland finally renting a room at Riva in Austria, very near to the Italian border. Lawrence loved Italy - he felt that the Italian people really knew how ...
- 315: Albert Einstein
- Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born in Germany on March 14, 1879.As a kid he had trouble learning to speak. His parents thought that he might be mentally retarded. He was not smart in school. He suffered under the learning methods that they used in the schools of Germany at that time so he was never able to finish his studies. In 1894 his father's business had failed and the family moved to Milan, Italy. Einstein who had grown interested in science, went ... rays passing near the sun would be bent out of a straight line. When this was verified at the eclipse of 1919, Einstein was instantly accepted as the great scientific thinker since Newton. By now Germany had fallen in the hands of Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. Albert Einstein was Jewish. In 1933 when the Nazis came to power, Einstein happened to be in California. He did not return to ...
- 316: McDonald’s Americanizing Europe
- ... power (Bédarida 108). Consumption was additionally stimulated by an expansion of credit and by people’s willingness to go into debt to buy what they wanted. Similar developments occurred in Britain, Italy, and especially West Germany (11). As a result, Europeans began to spend their money on such “luxuries” as new furniture, electrical appliances, crystal and china, high-fidelity phonographs and records, television sets, and leisure wear—most of these made ... local company” (Fells 305). Both of these people want McDonald’s to be recognized in Europe as a local market so that Europeans would be more comfortable with its presence. In fact, McDonald’s in Germany publicized the fact that it only hired German managers and German employees, and depended exclusively on German suppliers for its German-produced ingredients (Fells 305). This was an important step for McDonald’s in localizing the business by conforming to its marketplace. By publicizing that their McDonald’s was totally managed by Germany, it took off the negative edge off McDonald’s in the public eye. I believe one of the greatest attempts to defuse the argument that McDonald’s was pressing hard on Americanism in Europe, ...
- 317: The Invention of the Atomic Bomb And Its Use
- ... reason had very much to do with the World War?. America was the first country that succeeded inventing this weapon, and that invention was epoch-making at that time. In fact, the able doctors in Germany, which was the enemy of the Allied Forces including America, found the principles of the atomic bomb at first, and Nazis made them invent the atomic bomb. Some doctors thought that Nazis would use the ... more than three thousand B29s.(116) Thinking of the circumstances at that time, it becomes clear that America tried to invest the atomic bomb for opposing the Nazis. Probably, it was to be dropped on Germany after being completed. Then, why did America drop the atomic bomb on Japan? Was it really necessary? Now many countries besides America have the nuclear weapon, and it becomes the worldwide problem to experiment with ... Soviet Union.(83) In addition to these facts, Ronald Takaki conjectures another reason why America dropped the atomic bomb. He says that the Pacific War gradually became the racial war. American military was fought with Germany, too, but there was not such a racial prejudice for the German. Most of them thought that the German looked like themselves.(99) However, the Japanese did never. He thought that this fact caused ...
- 318: It Is Human Nature to Strive for Success and Personal Achievement
- ... of nationalism. Then you give your subjects the desire for profit and personal gain. Mix that together in a pot and you get a hearty bowl of Imperialism soup. Back in the early 1900's, Germany, Europe and France were highly imperialistic. There was one problem to there imperialistic minds. They all wanted a piece of the same land. That land was Morocco. All three of these countries wanted it, but ... only one of them could control it. This created conflict between these countries. Imperialism isn't always a good thing. As a result of this conflict, it led up to WW1. What Hitler did with Germany is a textbook example of Nationalism plus capitalism equals Imperialism. Hitler used propaganda to influence his people that they were better than everyone else. This created the unity within his country and created a very powerful army and military. After he unified the nation of Germany he added Capitalism to his scheme. He wanted to conquer everyone and everyplace that he figured would give him an advantage or the other way around, to get rid of any threats to his ...
- 319: Pollution in Eastern Europe
- ... and eastern Europe is no exception. In fact, eastern Europe has been cited as particularly bad with regard to pollution. The area, which for the means of this paper includes everything between the former East Germany and Russia (inclusive), has serious problems with water and particularly air pollution. This does not mean that the pollution in this area is worse than the more developed West as far as amount of pollution ... concentrated pollution (urban areas), such as the infamous "Black Triangle" ( or "Sulfur Triangle") which was the urban triangle of Lower Silesia, northern Bohemia, and Saxony . Cities themselves, such as Krakow in Poland or Leipzig in Germany were also infamous on their own. However, between these concentrated areas of horrible pollution, there are large strips of unspoiled forests and lakes, and protected areas such as national parks. This makes the determination of ... urban areas have caused the loss of a lot of fresh water. This, along with the other forms of pollution already mentioned, have resulted in some alarming statistics from the late 1980's: in East Germany, 45% of the drinking water was unusable even after basic water treatment, and in Poland only 5% of rivers were fit to drink from . Poland's problems with water is due to nitrates from ...
- 320: Social Criticism in Literature
- ... animals with insatiable appetites. Boxer, the overworked, incredibly strong, dumb horse represents the common worker in Russia. The two surrounding farms represent two of the countries on the global stage with Russia at the time, Germany and England. Orwell begins his book by criticizing the capitalists and ruling elite, who are represented in Animal Farm by Mr. Jones, the farmer. He is shown as a negligent drunk, who constantly starved his ... and apples were appropriated to the pigs, and continued to when the pigs could drink and sleep on beds, until finally the pigs were the "human masters" to the rest of the animals. Orwell criticized Germany, representing it as Pinchfield Farm, which betrayed Animal Farm by paying for lumber with counterfeit money. In real life, this represents the Soviet-Germany non-aggression pact during World War II which Germany eventually broke. Eventually, towards the end of the story, the term, "absolute power corrupts absolutely," is proven, as the pigs, who retained all the privileges ...
