Throughout the duration of this essay, I will begin with exploring the idea and concept of postmodernism, and then move on to depict and evaluate these claims made by post-modernists in more depth. Postmodernism is a late 20th century phenomena that argues there has been a departure from modernism. There have been many changes which have led to this new epoch known as postmodernity. Most importantly, there has been a new form of society, brought about by fundamental changes in the nature of society. There are three distinct characteristics that allow us to recognize the difference from modernity; changes in capitalism, changes in the consumer society, and the rise of a global society.

Question 21A. The maintenance of power by the Nazis 1933-45. Asses the view that the most important element in maintaining Hitler’s regime in power between 1933 and 1945 was the consent of the German people. Word count: 516 Hitler’s and the Nazi’s regime may have only been a short and violent one spanning just over the decade mark, but in this short time many methods were implemented by ruthless officials such as Goebbels and Goering and initiatives by Hitler to ensure this power and reign was sustained. The most popular methods were propaganda and some forceful coercion and many historians see these as the most significant factor with Hans Rothfels stating “hundreds of thousands were defenceless and without legal remedy” suggesting that many Germans had succumbed to the regime purely down to fear and not due to them believing in the viscous Nazi policies, other historians justify this view such as Hinton and Hite they argue that “the night of long knives showed how brute force was used to maintain power by eliminating the potential threat of the SA leaders" this is pointing to that if a threat was seen it was eliminated before it could grow and challenge the regime which is showing how effective coercion and force can be in maintaining power.
Hitler bowed deeply in front of Hindenburg and gave a very impressive speech. However Hitler’s intentions were more clearly seen in a piece of legislation introduced in the same day, the Malicious Practices Law, marking the brutality and resilience of the Nazi Party, banned criticism of the regime and its policies. Propaganda was a key tool to help maintain the appearance of legality and to increase Nazi support by playing on the communist threat, for example after Reichstag fire it portrayed the decree as a necessary step in the battle against communism and it paved the way for the March 1933 election success. The strength of the widely perceived communist threat
Nimitz directed a small but more skillfully maneuvered carrier force which was crucial in America’s victory, the battle of Midway along with the victory in the Coral Sea halted Japan’s juggernaut, Japan’s “victory disease” had overextended them and led to their downfall Island Hopping Strategy- how America won the war in the Pacific, American forces would cross a great distance by going on short voyages from island to island, the American forces won each island as they progressed and eventually it led them to mainland Japan Potsdam Conference- Truman met with Stalin and British leaders and issued an ultimatum to Japan, you must either surrender or be destroyed, American bombers showered the warning on Japan by dropping tens of thousands of leaflets but there was no sign of Japenese surrender. America had Albert Einstein up their sleeve for he had been crucial in developing the atomic bomb, which was originally intended for Germany, Japan refused to surrender and the threat of destruction was fulfilled when America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing 180,000.

In early 1940, Germans invaded London, the capitol of Britain, and began to wage war against political offices, military stations, and civilians. This was met with little to no British resistance, and Nazi aircraft bombed the city repeatedly. London was eventually reduced to rubble, and citizens looked toward political figures such as their new Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, for a way to end the battle. Churchill’s reply to these outcries was “Their Finest Hour” speech, which effectively boosted morale, and urged British citizens to fight back against Germany. Winston Churchill’s speech styling makes the speech’s message enticing as well as informative.
Both wars have similar qualities, as they were focused around liberty and equality. America was fighting for freedom from the overpowering British Empire, while the French were rebelling against the French monarchy in hopes to create a better government.

Supreme court and emerging technology The available Supreme Court decisions are well equipped to deal with emerging technological advancements to some extent by setting guidelines but many issues still occur because of the vagueness of the constitution. That is because with the technological advancements the interpretation of the constitution is then redefined for new situation. All the previous decisions of the Supreme Court will set a basic guideline for the future decisions of the court. Using these old decisions the Supreme Court will now have a basis for dealing with with the new technology such as text messaging, DNA profiling, GPS monitoring. These new technologies bring forth for the court new decisions in which they will redefine
