- 9941: Hitler And Gleichchaltung
- ... of the German people under Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. The ordinance allowed made it possible for Hitler to ban periodicals, newspapers, and even assemblies. With this power Hitler began to sever the people's constitutionally guaranteed freedom of opinion which gave him power to suppress peoples feelings but more importantly allowed for the suppression of political groups. A major catalyst in moving the co- ordination forward was the Reichstag ... threat was a real and serious problem to Germany. The move armed the government, in effect Hitler himself, with tyrannical powers of enormous scope and were destined to remain in force until the Third Reich's downfall twelve years later. With the ordinance of February 28 one could say that the Constitution was effectively co- ordinated. The next step taken to gain more power was the enactment of the "Enabling Act." It was the first co- ordinating Act. The Reichstag would be asked to pass an "Enabling Act" conferring on Hitler's cabinet exclusive legislative powers for four years.

- 9942: The North American Free Trade Agreement

- 9943: Antigones Theme
- ... bad. Meaning, you can still do bad when doing something good. An important ideal in Ancient Greece was the belief that the government was to have no control in matters concerning religious beliefs. In Antigone's eyes, Creon betrayed that ideal by not allowing her to properly bury her brother, Eteocles. She believed that the burial was a religious ceremony, and Creon did not have the power to deny Eteocles that right. Antigone's strong beliefs eventually led her to her death by the hand of Creon. Never, though, did she stop defending what she thought was right. As Creon ordered her to her death, Antigone exclaimed, "I go ... prisoner, because I honoured those things in which honour truly belongs." She is directly humiliating Creon by calling his opinions and decisions weak and unjust. She also emphasizes "his prisoner," which tells us that Creon's decision to capture Antigone was his own, and was not backed up by the majority of the people. She feels that Creon is abusing his power as king and dealing with her task to ...

In his novel, Huxley criticizes the practical applications of Utopia in actual society. Huxley's depiction of love, science, and religion support the ineffectiveness of implementing Utopia in everyday life. In Brave New World, Huxley shows contempt for the human emotion of love. The people that make up his imaginary ... believes that along with passion comes emotional instability. The Utopian state cannot afford any kind of instability and therefore cannot afford love. The destruction of the family is one example of the effect of Utopia's absence of love. In a world of bottled-births, not only is there no need for a family, but the idea is actually considered obscene. The terms "mother" and "father" are extremely offensive and ...

- 9950: Hamlet - He Loves Her? He Loves Her Not?
