In “Walking,” the author Henry David Thoreau reflects on the art of walking, humanity, and the natural world. Thoreau was a 19th century American writer, poet, philosopher, environmentalist, abolitionist, and transcendentalist. At the young age of 16 Thoreau entered Harvard College where he studied a broad variety of subjects including Latin and Greek grammar. After his graduation, he met transcendentalist pioneers Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Ellery Channing, where he too became a disciple in the school in transcendentalism. His highly popular and esteemed works includes Walking among others: Walden, Civil Disobedience, and more.
Albert Speer – rise to prominence Albert Speer was a significant figure in German history due to his various architectural projects and his appointment as Minister for Armaments. Although he claimed to be apolitical, Speer joined the Nationalist Social party on March 1st, 1931 and from they’re his career in the Nazi party prospered. Speer’s first contribution to the Nazi party was as a chauffer, as district head of the Nazi Motorist League, where he met Karl Hanke. A recommendation by Hanke to Goebbels, gave Speer his first architectural assignment of decorating Goebbels headquarters in Berlin. Hitler approved the finished result, however Goebbels did not like its simplicity and had it redecorated.
None the less, Bismarck was no fool; he took advantage of a situation which he hoped would never come. If he could strike an alliance with the Centre party in some way, he would be able to strengthen his political position elsewhere. For example, he was confusing the Austrians with his anti Catholic policies and as Bismarck wanted to make stronger links with Austria, by ending the Kulturkampf he could bring Austria and the Papacy both on his side. This is what Bismarck was able to do as in 1879 he agreed an alliance with Austria, showing his end to the Kulturkampf as a cleverly thought out political strategy. Despite this, the Kulturkampf coincidently came to an end the same year Pope Pius IX died and was replaced with Pope Leo XIII.
How important were the German princes in creating the atmosphere within which Lutheranism was successful? The German princes were essential for creating the atmosphere in which Lutheranism was successful between 1521 and 1555 because they maintained Luther’s teachings, making it a reality. Also they obtained military authority over Charles V who at this time, was a new, inexperienced emperor and also had major influence over Charles power due to the fact they were the ones who elected him. This proved useful at the Diet of Worms in 1521 when instead of Luther being issued full excommunication, instead he was offered a full hearing and this was all down to princely support. By 1531 the Schmalkaldic League was set up as a united defence alliance by protestant princes in response to Charles’s threat of eradicating Lutheranism.
This sudden change brings financial instability to the Grimm family but as a result the brothers become closer to each other. Due to these deaths, the brothers were also forced to hold number of jobs such as librarians and teaching positions that brought them closer to the German literature. In terms of education both Grimm brothers gets the opportunity to go to some prestigious educational institutions where they were compelled to prove their superior scholarly abilities to condescending members of the aristocracy. Later on when they were studying law, they come to understand that a country’s law is based on its customs, traditions, and language of the people. From this realization they gain a desire to understand German traditions and history which includes folk lore.
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain truly believed that they had made peace with Germany so once more France and Britain appeased Germany (Dr. Seuss). Later, he held a press conference saying “We have made peace in our time.” In addition to this false hope of peace, the British and the French refused to risk war with Germany by giving aid to Poland after Germany attacked its port of Danzig. Horrible memories of hundreds of thousands of men from multiple nations who lost their lives in World War 1 in addition to severe global economic problems were both large deterrents of war in the eyes of France and Britain. However, these nations were not the only culprits in this act of idleness towards obvious growing issues of totalitarian and
Wilson believed the treaty of Versailles should punish Germany but not so harshly that it would someday recover and seek revenge. However Wilson’s main aims were portrayed> through his fourteen points. But perhaps his main goal for post war Europe was to strengthen democracy in Germany so the citizens would not let its leaders cause another war. France suffered enormous damage in WW1. When the war ended the general population of France wanted revenge on Germany.
Dancing Boys of Afghanistan For some people, when you think of Afghanistan, you think of war zone and their loved ones who are serving the country in a deserted soil. For others, the country reminds them of stringent Muslim ethics, by which both adulterers and homosexuals are strictly forbidden. But, not many people are aware that the country still retains its 5000 years old tradition of enslaving boys for sexual exploitation. And the notorious tradition is called bacha bazi. Bacha bazi, (meaning Boy play) is a process in which young Afghan boys are sold to warlords and powerful businessmen to be trained as dancers who perform for male audiences in women's clothing and are then used and traded for sex.
Charlemagne did for the good of Christian Europe, and to do that good, he and his family would have to make personal sacrifices, such as when he put his two youngest sons in separate kingdoms from each other and from the rest of the family. Another example. When the king was planning which one of his older sons would rule his empire after he died he decided it would be his son Carl because he did not want oldest son Pepin to rule because of his hunchback, another example. When Charlemagne went to go find the Saxons that had killed his best knights and when he found them he had to decide whether or not to execution them for their actions, but when he thought about it he decided to execution for their action because that was justice. Catholics who are descended from families of Europe must be grateful to Charlemagne.
His purpose in this act is to simply get what he thinks is deserving of him and to take advantage of the landscape after royal family itself breaks off and things are not the same. He takes clear advantage of changed landscape by taking over the land of Denmark and claims the downfall of Denmark and the land to everybody. He also shows the early memories he once had of this land "Let us haste to hear it, and call the noblest to the audience. For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune. I have some rights of memory in this kingdom, which now to claim my vantage doth invite me."
