There are several instances when Germany demonstrated that it could not credibly uphold any commitments. Each example examined relates to the appeasement of Germany by France and Britain. First, when Germany annexed Austria in March of 1938, it broke the Treaty of Versailles as it exposed the rearmament of the German military as well as territorial expansion on the party of Germany. Britain and France did nothing to prevent this annexation and therefore failed to credibly uphold the treaty. This…
All teachers grade differently some are “easy” graders while others are “hard” graders. The only way to truly know how the districts are doing and what they need to improve on is by taking standardized tests. By comparing all the students to the set standard the schools are being judged on what they need to improve on. Standardized testing is the best way to improve the performance of the students and the instruction of the school. Standardized testing more or less brings changes to…
an epidemic with no cure in sight, despite this seemingly hopeless situation, author Jay Mathews wrote an article to give 11th graders good advice and some much needed support. The use of diction in this article is extremely prevalent to its effectiveness since it’s target audience is going to be high schoolers who don’t quite understand “large words” or metaphors referencing things from the 1980’s.

laws of armed conflict. Because of the rapid pace that was required to deal with this new threat, actions were taken that do not represent the values of this country and policies were created with that may require so alterations to improve their effectiveness. The policies in place to designate foreign terrorist organizations are in need of some change so that national defense resources are being used wisely and the government can counter those groups that pose the greatest threat to the United…
The decisions of each individual can create significant changes to history, both positively and negatively. During the Holocaust, millions of innocent victims died due to anti-semitism and discrimination. Ordinary European citizens and Nazis shaped history by their inaction during the times of biased mass killings . Their decisions were greatly influenced by their understanding of the universe of obligation, which sociologist Helen Fein defines as, “the circle of individuals and groups ‘towards…
The new President continued to try to initiate joint construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway that had been promoted by previous administrations with the Canadians. Another of the initiatives that Eisenhower took was the "New Look" defense program. In this program the budget of the United States Army would be cut back.
