German Empire

World War I terribly affected German-Americans and their social legacy. Up until that point, German-Americans, as a gathering, had been saved a great part of the separation, mishandle the sack, and aggregate doubt experienced by such a variety of various racial and ethnic gatherings in the historical backdrop of the United States. Surely, throughout the years, they had been seen as an all around incorporated and regarded some portion of American culture. The majority of this changed with the…

of...let 's say German land USA. Both, where I lived and where I worked. I was just very shocked how they took things so personal and how much I had to walk on eggshells with these people. Not only that, but they would be very nosey with your life and would try to punish you if you didn 't meet their standards. I think they were just looking for an excuse to take their frustrations out on someone. Only later did I find out everyone here was of German decent (due to anti-German sentiment…

Right from a small kid to an old person, from the shopkeeper to the company owner. English has risen to become the medium of instruction in most of the countries. English is one of the easiest language to learn and speak. It is one of the very few things in the world that is effective and easy to learn at the same time. Unlike…

As we have all witnessed first-hand in America as well as other countries, there are many different variations of the languages we speak. Different dialects, pronunciation, forms, and accents all make up the subtle differences of languages spoken around the world. Because America is a “melting pot” for so many different cultures, it can be easy to walk down the street and hear a version of English not native to you. As you travel around the county and the world, you will observe that the…

With reference to two films, analyse the relationship between Expressionist Art and Film. In what ways can German Expressionist cinema be considered a graphic art? Lyonel Feininger, Street Lantern (1918) Otto Dix, Streetcar (1920) Fashioning ‘artificial worlds of light and shadow’ expressionist film, during the early twentieth century, and its stark contrast to the prosaic Hollywood films of the period gave the audience a relatively new visual and sensory experience by ‘creat[ing] a…

European and German Immigrants in Iowa Have you ever wondered why Iowa is the way it is? One thing that plays a major role is the first people that settled here. Two of the main groups that came to Iowa as it was just starting out were the European immigrants as well as some German immigrants. Both of these groups were very prominent in Iowa and had important parts in the way Iowa developed. During World War I, some of the German customs that were once accepted and loved by the American…

of the two weeks the only obstacle that continuously reminded us that we were from different “places” of the world was language. Louisa’s mother and one of her sisters were not too fluent in their English and unfortunately I hardly speak a word of German. We had to rely on Louisa as a translator in order to have an effective conversation. Somehow, I was able to feel close with Louisa’s mother and sister despite never having a one-on-one conversation with them. After sharing several experiences…

A language is a powerful tool for expressing thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Language also serves as one of the primary contextual clues in determining where any one person is from in the world or region. Moreover, language also serves as the driving force for culture development within societies. The concept that language directly affects culture development is the prominent hypothesis within the anthropological community. The primary language taught to any person during their early growth and…

Speak My Language, Please! Through physiology and natural, cultural phenomena, everyone learns to communicate soon after one is born so they can survive in the culture in which one has to live; however, when they leave our culture and language behind, they are forced to learn a new language. Communication is key to surviving in any culture and if they do not learn the language of our new culture they will be dependent on others for succeeding at the smallest tasks, like finding a restroom or…

In his essay "In Plain English: Let's Make It Official," Charles Krauthammer mentions English being the key to unifying a multicultural society like the United States. There is no doubt that the United States is a nation composed of immigrants from all over the world. However, it is not a nation composed of immigrants trying to ostracize themselves to create their own territory. We are a melting pot of many linguistic, cultural, and ethnic groups that are constantly interacting and coming…
