While democracy is present in much of the modern world, it is difficult to define exactly what democracy is due to the varying ways of governing present in the world. In this paper, I will compare England and Germany according to Lijphart’s models of majoritarian and consensus democracies. In Lijphart’s model, there are two main ideas in which these two systems differ: how easy it is for a single party to take control of the government and how much a party can change policy once they have…
A Doll’s House is a play written by Henrik Ibsen. This play revolves around Nora Helmer who is hiding a dangerous secret from her husband, Torvald Helmer. Krogstad, a man that is aware of Nora’s big secret, threatens to sell Nora out if she does not save him from being fired by Torvald. Different events unfold throughout the play.

People make mistakes. It’s a natural part of life; none of us are perfect. However, if heard about a public figure making one, this philosophy no longer applies.
