A malady as devastating as the Black Plague hasn 't existed for centuries and not one of the most deadly diseases have ever come close to besting its economic and social impact. Over 25-45% of Europe was killed by the plague and most were poor men. As a result of the death of millions of men across Europe, women- now fatherless, widows and some still wives-had the ability to integrate into workplaces without the multitude of sexism that existed before the plague. In rural areas, many…

Germany: A Land of Tradition and Contrasts Organization and discipline are evident in everyday life for Germans. Public transportation operates like clockwork; traffic lights are synchronized, even retail stores are subject to Ladenschlussgesetz (store-closing law) (Somers 20). Everything done in German lives is done with order and efficiency. While we consider the German people in this light, they give us the impression of drones, adamant about following rules and regulations, and striving for…

Globalization Impacts due to Immigration in Germany Since the 1980’s Germany has had the largest influx of immigrants compared to any other country in the world. The largest immigrant group in Germany is that of Muslim refugees (especially from Turkey). Most of them had fled from countries currently at war or ruled by tyrannical governments.

Problem Statement/Definition of Research Area Permaculture – is this idea of sustainability the way of the future? The idea of permaculture (permanent agriculture or permanent culture) was developed by two Australians in the 1970’s, David Holmgren (a graduate student) and Bill Mollison (his professor) (Sullivan, 2008). There are many branches to the permaculture movement, all of which are related to ecology, sustainability and the idea of working with nature rather than against it.…

safe to say my family is very Mexican. Both of my parent where actually born in Mexico but were brought over to the United states as infants. However, if we go back even further three generations before me both sides of my family are actually from Germany. You read our last names on a piece of paper and you would automatically assume we are Hispanic or that we are in fact Mexican because most people just tend to believe all Hispanics are Mexican since…

contribute to the needs and desires of their different societal, governmental, and economical systems. Russia and Germany took similar and different stances, depending on the time and events occurring within the nation, in the areas of workforce contribution, family life, and general equality between men and women. First, workforce contribution had its differences between Russia and Germany. In Russia, the women were considered more equally to the men compared to other societies. Women were not…

Throughout France, as well as Italy, Germany, the Austrian Empire, riots and progressive governmental changes -- universal suffrage, freedom of the press, and cultural recognition -- succeeded momentarily but were soon crushed by conservative opponents, leaving behind little difference and cynicism. The…

A willful manipulator of the throne or revolutionary thinker? The legacy of Johann Friedrich Struensee is left in history as a controversy. During the 1770's, Christian VII's reign in Denmark was underscored with the illness of the king, which gave way for a German doctor, Johann Friedrich Struensee, to rise to power and become a ruler. As the king’s doctor and confidant, Struensee essentially gained the persuasive power of a king and later accumulated all of the governmental power so he could…

their processes towards peace. The Congress of Vienna took on the monumental task of reassigning territory to each country after Napoleon had skewed borders and leadership over his acquisitions and the Treaty of Versailles weakened and belittled Germany and expected an impossibly peaceful outcome. Although the means towards peace were different, both treaties…
