• Small numbers of teachers felt that the Nazi regime was letting pupils down academically, and decided to teach beyond the regime; however this came at a huge risk. Teachers could be caught out by other teachers, the Gestapo and even the pupils. • “There is no longer any intellectual freedom…and education is being degraded by political interference. Some don’t realise any countries exist except Germany” – Dr. Schuster, “Darkness over Germany” 1945 Failure in the Indoctrination of Students • Another weakness of the new Nazi Education Policy was that the pupils were fully aware of the constant bombardment of
Their peer-pressure, such as friends, parents and may even be teachers in their school. The bad history that they've experienced was the reason why they had such belief planted in their mind. They believed that the Tutsi made use of the Hutus and now it is the time for the Hutus to do genocide of the Tutsis. These things thus affected the people's view on the truth and explanations for it. Even if the Hutus are exposed to the real truth hat the things that they are doing are inhumane, they will still will not listen to the explanation and take the truth in a different spin.
The fact that the school think they have the right to violate the child's private life is funny. But at the same time its a little disturbing to know that they will invade our lives during our generation. As well as our fourth amendment right it is breaking, it is incriminating yourself if you show up positive. The fact that our founding fathers gave us these rights our expressions of these rights should not be stopped by anything regardless. The school system has no right to drug test anyone, due to what cause.
Atticus told Scout and Jem that being called a “nigger-lover” does not matter because it has no meaning to Atticus. If this mentality was present throughout the entire world, the amount of prejudice would decrease drastically. If we are taught that people who are different from us are bad, the cycle of hate will continue and mutate into something
Drabble is correct to argue that people tend to ignore truth in order to follow societal standards. In today's world it is often difficult to adjust to one type of lifestyle or another. The constant bombardments of outside opinions hamper our ability to choose and be comfortable with a certain way of living. Therefore, blind conformity is actually a molding of what is said to be normal in society instead of using differences to enhance humans. The malicious acts committed by Malcolm X reflect the idea that people ignore truth to conform to society.
People feel they are being patriots by protesting everything the government does and find flaws with everything in this country. This also does not serve the country in a positive way. Always pointing out flaws and never helping to find a solution does not better the country in any way. To be patriotic is to love and respect fellow citizens, to take care of the land and the natural environment, to be active in elections, and to be able to see its flaws and weaknesses and to help turn them into strengths. Love and respect of fellow citizens is crucial to being patriotic.
Those that the Nazis did not trust because of their political views were sacked. Lessons were to start and finish by giving the Nazi salute and saying ‘Heil Hitler!’ As well as preparing young people to be future soldiers of Nazi Germany, Hitler demanded that schools impose his racist and nationalist beliefs. Young people were not encouraged to think for themselves and make choices but to accept Nazi views and attitudes. The whole education system had been reversed. The Nazi’s had been successful in changing and impose their views on the young and vulnerable people.
What were the aims of the nationalists in Northern Ireland? The main aim of the nationalists was that they wanted Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to be unified as one country, Ireland. They thought that the country should not have been divided into two, and should stay the same as it was originally. They also think that the British army shouldn’t be in Ireland and so one of their aims is to get rid of it, mainly because of Bloody Sunday. They think that the army restricts their freedom and are seen as evil because they are affecting the Irish people’s lives with their presence as they are not letting them live how they want to.
Thus, More’s Utopia is a sternly righteous and puritanical state, where only a few of us would feel happy; this is because the communal way of life and the laws of the state forbid its citizens to have absolute personal liberty, which is essentially the main ingredient of happiness. The laws of the Utopian society place really harsh and irrational restrictions on the people in terms of the fundamental choices of life. For instance, when choosing an occupation, the son must practice the same trade as his father. “But if anyone is attracted to another occupation, he is transferred by adoption into a family practicing the trade he prefers.” (Utopia p.45) Thus, a person has to give up his family and the bonds he shared with them just to pursue a profession of his own choice. However, it still does not guarantee him a free choice.
This is because prejudice has become more subtle. Unlike in traditional systems, in modern society, people conceal their prejudice to avoid the term “racist”. However, when there is a favorable environment, the concealed prejudice is expressed (Neil, 2008). For instance, most American parents are not for the idea of School desegregation, but on the contrary they oppose the idea of busing their
