The Partisan

There is an old expression about the sophisticated construction of Yugoslavia: “Yugoslavia consists of six republics, five nationalities, four languages, three religions, two alphabets, one political party, and only one “true” Yugoslav – the Josip Broz Tito”. He managed to unite the country and to free it from the foreign invaders, hereinafter becoming a leader of the Communist Party and a statesman, in whose hands all political power was concentrated. Therefore, the thesis of this paper is…

Dr. Stallbaumer-Beishline March 14, 2017 Liberal Arts Seminar 110-01 The Simplification of Human Tragedy Edward Zwick's fast-paced and sympathetic interpretation of two brother’s very different takes on what it means to survive, (based on the book by famed Sociologist Nechama Tec,) appears at face value as just another war film full of violence and thick accents. However, “Defiance” doesn’t quite fit this mold. This seldom-explored story of Jewish rebels is instead a film crafted with visual…

In a partisan election, a candidate’s party is labeled on the ballot. This gives the voters an outlook on the candidate’s beliefs and ideals. I believe that voting for judges in a partisan election can have its pros and cons. It is not the most effective method because is it mainly based on name recognition. Although, this method can be good because some judges that are appointed are already well experienced. Voting should be based on what judicial skills the candidate has or what knowledge of…

#2 –– Distinguish between partisan and nonpartisan elections of judges. Is one type of election better than another? Why or why not? Partisan elections simply refer to a public voting for specific offices. Each candidate typically represents a specific party, primarily Republican or Democrat. Partisan elections for judges are identical to partisan elections for any other office. Voters cast their choice using a secret ballot and the judge that receives the majority of votes occupies the desired…

The True Meaning of a Partisan The characters Ben, me, the 5 soldiers and their dogs, various partisan men, and Ben Kam are taking place in this story. The settings take place mostly in the forest but during the epic throw down is placed in the ghetto. The major conflicts are between the soldiers and the partisan but can also be between the narrator and his understanding of the partisans. The day began as usual, we made sure no guards were near and all our supplies were filled. The wind…

The second type of the election method is partisan elections. In these elections, candidates are listed on a ballot and are voted on in a primary election. Then, following the primary candidates listed on a ballot in a general election. However, unlike nonpartisan elections, partisan elections include the party affiliation for those running (“Judicial Selection: The Process of Choosing Judges”, 2008, p. 6). Just as appointment had certain benefits and negatives, likewise, so does election. Each…

Fighter and Defiance are both films that portray a story of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. Each of their stories present similarities in their representations of Jewish resistance. For example, they both involve characters that first find the desire to fight from their thirst for vengeance. They both also inadvertently make non-resistors seem less heroic than those who did fight. However, there are also differences and I will mention one; Fighter goes into further depth on establishing…

Partisan politics in the Early Republic took place because of the need to have a strong central government for the Americas. The draft of the American Constitution was a way that national leaders would form the laws and decisions of the government for the people. Federalist agreed to these terms, and antifederalist were opposed, but lost their fight to the Federalist. The people of early United States lives had changed with the change of politics. Northern people freed black slaves, while in the…

Part A. Explain the reasons for the rise of partisan politics in the Early Republic (i.e., major conflicts and concerns, development of the First Part System). Early within the United States, roughly 1792 through 1824, the country was starting to form two sets of political views. These two sets were the Federalists and the Republicans, largely formed by Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. This early version of political parties within the country is commonly referred to the First Party…

is not actually too far off. Some Jews joined partisan groups, the ‘official’ title of armed resistors of the Nazis. Partisans were the most traditional and direct form of resistance to the German onslaught. They sabotaged the Germans by disabling German trains, blowing up railroads, and destroying bridges, but also did more violent things such as engaging in shootouts with Nazis, and attacking those suspected of killing Jews (Bielski 1). Most partisan resistance focused more on rescue and…
