Romania

Taking care of people has always been my passion ever since I was a little girl. Every time my mother and I would have to go to the grocery store I always love to pick out the things we needed and helped my mother to put the groceries up. I even used to try to help the bagger if there was a bagger with the groceries, even if they were too heavy for me. As I got older I kept that same helping attitude. I helped out in as many ways as I could by volunteering downtown to feed the homeless, I even…

Nicolae Ceaușescu was a ruthless dictator who ruled over Romania for 25 years from 1965 until his execution on the 22nd December 1989 (Source A). Ceaușescu impacted Romania on a social, economic and political scale through his Stalinist rule.

Communism is based on materialistic, humanistic, secularistic, and atheistic views of life and history.

experiences of the people of Eastern Europe. One Eastern European author, Herta Müller, does not try to generalize. Her novel, The Passport, focuses on the story of a very distinct group of Eastern Europeans—a German minority living in the Banat region of Romania following the Second World War.

Retired Colonel Doru Paraschiv did nothing but apply what the President of Romania told graduates of military academies this year: he stepped up against any illegality, no matter who made…

European country Romania. At the bottom, right corner of this outline is a heart, placed over the city of Bucharest. At first glance, this object may not seem exceptionally appealing to the eye or flashy. Those looking at it do not understand the importance and extrinsic value. If you take a step back and…

She was born in Romania in 1953, and was a minority because her native language is German. Muller’s father was a part of Hitler's Waffen SS, and her mother was deported to Russia to work as free labor. As a young writer, she openly criticized communist dictatorship which had negative responses from the government. She has written a handful of books, with most being translated into over twenty languages. Many of her works were censored in Romania because they often contained disapproval…
