On April 20th, 1889, a man was born in the town of Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary. That man came to be known as Adolf Hitler. When he was three, he moved from his hometown in Austria-Hungary to Germany. As a child, he had an interest in becoming an artist. He also became obsessed with German nationalist ideas, despising the declining House of Habsburg. However, when his younger brother died in 1900, he became increasingly detached. After his father’s death, his mother permitted him to drop out…

The offender, Simon Gittany, was born in the Western Sydney suburb of Merrylands in 1973. Gittany has five siblings, all of which were raised in Australia after his parents emigrated from Lebanon. Although large, there is no evidence to suggest that it was an abusive or neglectful household. Rather, psychologist Anna Robilliard describes the family as being “loving” and “close knit” (R v. Gittany, 2014). At the time of the homicide, Gittany was 37 years old, and was an owner of various business…

Jacques-Louis David and His Political Art that Influenced France During March of this year I was fortunate enough to get to go to Paris, France where I visited the Musée Du Louvre. There this was one of the paintings that caught my eye. At the time I was in Art History: Neolithic to Renaissance so I had not gotten to the importance of the painting. But I managed to spend much time just sitting and staring at the painting. Something about this massive painting was fascinating. From the cultural…

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, provided a pivotal and solemn warning to the crumbling nation in his Inaugural Address—preceding the Civil War by a mere month and eight days: “In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you…. You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve, protect and defend it.”1 In Lincoln’s…

After Equality meets his romantic interest, Liberty 5-3000, he receives a new name, the…

Sacrifice by fire; this remains the meaning of the Greek word holocaust. The Holocaust, also known as the persecution and murder of six million Jewish people by the Nazi regime and its collaborators, remained a game of superior and inferior. To the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews lived as an inferior race and an alien threat to the German race and community. After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews got consistently persecuted, Hitler’s “final solution”–another meaning of the…

“Everything is happening at once and everything is happening to everybody” is a quote from the World Service Authority’s article “World Citizenship Defined” (Lechner & Boli 492). This quote means to say that what happens in the world affects everyone in one way or another. In a sort of butterfly effect phenomenon, the civil war in the Syrian Arab Republic and the ensuing flight of several million Syrians across Europe has affected the economies of several countries, albeit in different ways and…

to follow the constitution strictly despite the fact that it is a different case with different circumstances. Scalia goes on to protest that the system of separation of powers that we have abided by in the past has protected us from indefinite imprisonment by the President, and to go against that would stop us from this protection. Again, he is attempting to showcase how reinterpreting constitutional text can have a harmful impact on our…

America is a country of immigrants, a melting pot of sorts, but upon taking a closer look one will see that a large number of these immigrants are actually refugees. From the beginnings of our country, we have offered a solace for those looking to escape persecution. The first colonists were fleeing England for freedom to practice their religion. A large portion of current Irish-Americans come from ancestors that came to America in order to escape the Irish Potato Famine. The German…
