Who Is Nicolae Ceaus Cruel Dictatorship?

Improved Essays
From the time he began his cruel, brutal dictatorship in 1965, Nicolae Ceausescu changed and destroyed the lives of millions of Romanians all over Eastern Europe.

    Over the 30 years of Joseph Stalin’s dictatorship, the estimated death toll ranged from 28 to 40 million people, whom died from a variety of things, such as famine, executions, and a very large war. Stalin assumed autocratic rule of the Soviet Union in 1924 following the death of Lenin. Stalin made a variety of reforms, but his main focus was on the economic issues that was occurring in the communist country at the time. Stalin made his economic reforms solely to make the most amount of money possibly, even if millions of people had to die. I completely contest to Stalin’s beliefs and ideas during this very controversial time in the USSR.…

    In the words of 1940-1960 American Actor Gregory Peck, “Tough times don't last, tough people do, remember?” If it means survival, people will often do whatever it takes to save their families. Love is an extremely powerful motivator; it can move mountains if need be. In the case of the Mexican families living in the El Paso Segundo Barrio community, the mothers of these families did what they had to in order to remove that mountain of poverty and separation that stood before their children. To do this, they accepted and followed the terms which the Houchen missionaries gave them in exchange for resources.…

    This is a summary of a interview that I had with my mother Adrienne Callaway, whom I asked some questions about being raised black in the south. The first question I asked her was “What do you remember about being young and growing up in the south?”, to which she replied “I remember how safe it was where I lived that you could sleep with the doors and windows open. I remember how blacks and whites had their own schools, and even though there was desegregation whites were not allowed to be your friends.” Understanding how she might have felt being around whites, but not being able to befriend them can be seen as a tough experience. The next question was “What were some challenges you had to face being a black woman in the south?”…

    Across the Oceans “Don’t ever forget where you came from; otherwise, you’ll never remember where you’re going.” Leaving my thirteen years behind, I flew away from Nepal in 2013 in a hope that I’ll prove myself in the future fulfilling the dreams that I dreamed as a child. Flying away felt like leaving a piece of myself in the place where I spent my whole childhood for the place where I was going to spend my adolescence and my adulthood. I came from a place where the lack of electricity, water sources, transportation, employment, and health service still exist. Being born in a place where my dad spent his childhood and adulthood struggling to get a proper meal for a day makes me think how lucky I was to get to come to the place where it lacks nothing.…
