Another thing that he saw was the little girl in the red jacket.…

1. Page 36 – “‘Freud’ reminds us that “the world is no nursery” and strongly advises us to face the harsh reality that we are alone in the universe.” What educated assumptions do you believe brought Freud to conclude that “we are alone in the universe?” Explanation: My thought process behind the question is that there is more than just science that brought him to believe there was no God.…
Enter Adolf Hitler, a skillful politician and orator, the likes of which, Germany and the world have never seen. He quickly rose to power in the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi party) by vilifying the existing government. Hitler’s first attempt to overthrow the government in 1923 ended in his arrest. While in prison he began work on his book Mein Kampf, in which he praised the Germans as the superior race, blaming the Jews for all of Germany’s troubles. Once out of prison, Hitler focused on rebuilding the Nazi party.…
My Thoughts: To me, it seems like Nietzsche is saying here that the fact that most of us would not be content to relive our lives exactly as they are, over and over, should clue us in that we need to change our behavior. Maybe the very consideration of whether or not we’d be content to experience things exactly the same way again could help us to act in ways that make us more “benevolent toward life.” My Thoughts: This passage confused me a little bit. I can understand the suffering by those who have an “impoverished life,” but I’m not sure what Nietzsche means when he says that some people suffer from the “over-fullness of life” and seek terrible sights and deeds.…
Genocide in the holocaust was made possible by the fact that the Nazis created a set mind set in people 's heads that they are superior compared to the Jews, disabled, gay and other minorities at the time. During the holocaust the Nazis were focused on separating the Jews from the non Jews. Nazis created a mindset in non Jew children in germany that they are superior than that of the Jew children to eliminate the Jews as seen in the book parallel journeys. “No German boy can ever be true friends with a Jew boy. No matter how nice he seems, he 'll grow up to be your enemy.”…

Roosevelt was a great man he was a great spokesman like Hitler, but he did not try to manipulate people.…
At the end of World War I, Germany was harshly punished in the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and faced a state of disaster. Adolf Hitler gained power and combined his roles of Chancellor and President in the Reichstag into Fuhrer. Hitler had planned for a long time to commence the war of his own volition. Hitler and his fellow Nazis insisted that the eradication of Jews was justified in its response to a war launched against Germany by the Jews. At the core of the Nazi justification for the Holocaust was paranoia, rancor and complacent ire.…
The 1930’s and 1940’s were rather turbulent times in the European region of the world. The continent was falling apart nation by nation, and one man was behind it all. Adolf Hitler, born 20 April 1988 in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, somehow managed to take control over Germany by becoming the Chancellor, and then began the planning and execution of the taking of the entire European region. Adolf Hitler was a terrible man who was the ultimate reason as to why millions of Jews were resettled and why millions upon millions were killed. Although he was a terrible man, he was extremely intelligent.…
Prologue The stench of the trash was absolutely nauseating. Even though my brain was screaming at me to get rid of the repulsive gunk on my shirt, my legs couldn’t stop running. Winston was just a limp ball of fur in my shaking arms. I had to hold on to him, otherwise I would be lost in this cold world of darkness that was embedding itself with steel claws into my heart.…
Naturally, however, in German history, the wrongdoings of Hitler will always overshadow the good done during the unification of Germany years prior. Still, both leaders were harsh and stubborn in many ways, particularly Bismarck; “Although he cared for the world’s opinion, it never deterred him in his actions; criticism and denunciation left him untouched. . .”(Palmer 527). While this made Bismarck less personable, it nonetheless turned him into a great leader, one with fierce determination. From the writing of Mein Kampf in the early 20th century to his death in 1945, Hitler was never set off his path to the creation of a pure Aryan race.…
“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise” (“Adolf Hitler Quote”). This renowned Adolf Hitler quote can be used to depict one of Hitler 's many tactics he used during his dictatorship. Forcing his way to power in 1933 (Britannica School), he became one of the most loathed dictator and person throughout history. A dictator is one who rules a country or group of people and has obtained power forcefully. Hitler can evidently be described as a dictator taking in perspective his responsibility of the mass murder of 11 million innocent people and limitations to many ethnic groups in Germany.…
As a person, he clearly lacked any sort of understanding and lacked any sort of proper knowledge and understanding. He used the power he gained as a ruler to fulfill his own greed and destroy the lives of others surrounding him by bombing other nations, ordering mass killings and presenting himself as a god that has only done well. All of Hitler’s actions clearly disregard what Plato states that any leader should be. The devastating outcome of his rule that left Europe, North America, and even Asia in shatters is clearly well…
