For this transition Dr. King made a fuzzy statement to persuade them with the ideas of the justice and equality. After he gave the reason that “I am in Birmingham because injustice is here”, he didn’t point out how the injustice exists and be influential, though he expressed superficial arguments but that seems not far enough. Martin Luther King reminded the white clergymen that all the horrors of the holocaust were lawful according to Hitler, and on the other hand, the activities of Hungarian freedom fighters who attempted to break the soviet occupation's yoke in 1956, were unlawful by the standards placed in Moscow. He quotes St. Augustine assertion, which states that unjust law is not a law at all. Compare with another point, which stood by “Justice too long delayed is justice denied”, this thesis is not mature completely with meaningless
The ailing President Hindenburg, Germany's highly-revered military hero, sent a telegram expressing his "profoundly felt gratitude" and he congratulated Hitler for 'nipping treason in the bud'. General von Reichenau went so far as to publicly give credence to the lie that Schleicher had been plotting to overthrow the government. The army's support for the purge, however, would have far-reaching consequences for the institution. The humbling of the SA ended the threat it had posed to the army but, by standing by Hitler during the purge, the army bound itself more tightly to the Nazi regime. One retired captain, Erwin Planck, seemed to realise this: "if you look on without lifting a finger," he
Jehovah's Witnesses believe it is wrong to engage in violence, or to join the military. Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Nazi Germany and their placing into concentration camps revolved around their pacifism. Jehovah's Witnesses had the opportunity to escape persecution and personal harm by renouncing their religious beliefs. The Nazi government gave detained Jehovah's Witnesses the option of release by signing a document indicating renouncement of their faith, submission to state authority, and support of the German military. [26] The renunciation document includes the words: "I will in the future esteem the laws of the State, especially in the event of war will I, with weapon in hand, defend the fatherland, and join in every way the community of the people."
By convincing Hindenburg that there was a large communist threat the country was put into a state of emergency and, with Hindenburg’s backing, Hitler was allowed to pass decrees to govern Germany anyway he liked, with the financial backing of krupp and bosch etc, which in this case is fortunate for the question at hand. Consequently this is why I believe it was the most important event to dictatorship because it was the “spark” that allowed any other event to happen and without it democracy may have just struggled on. One of these events was the election in 1933. Now Hitler had the power to convince Hindenburg to allow him
In the 16th century people who were not catholic were killed and tortured, so that the catholic church could stay in power and people would stay catholic. Today the world is completely opposite, it accepts any religion even if it conflicts with other religion such as Judaism and Christianity. Those two religion hated each other in the past but have grown and evolved, they still have different beliefs but it doesn't matter since they learned to get along thanks to the inquisition. What the inquisition has done for the modern world is teach us what is wrong and what is right; it showed us our mistakes that we'll not do again. The expression "learn from our mistakes" is true in this situation.
Was the Labour 1945 election win a forgone conclusion. There are many different opinions as to why Labour won the nineteen fourteen five general election. A large amount of the opinion that the election was over even before it had begun however i do not think that this is true. In my opinion the main reason for Labour winning the 1945 election was not thorough the skill of the Labour and certainly not through the skill of their campaign of Atlee himself it was through the conservatives and in particular Winston Churchill shooting himself in the foot.The conservatives made many errors however the biggest of these was the comment than Winston Churchill made on the 4th of june 1945 in which he spoke about how no socialist government come survive without a Gestapo type presence, whether or not this is true this was not a quote which was thought through in anyway by the prime minister at the time or by any of his advisors the United Kingdom was just coming out of a long and hard war in which British propaganda had made the Gestapo out to be the ultimate enemy. For this reason the Gestapo was not something that the British people were very sympathetic towards and Winston Churchill by using this in is his speech made a large amount of the British people reconsider their views on him and it was around this time that the British people started to see Atlee as a serious option to lead the country.
In Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" we learned how Mr. King and his many supporters used the laws and the hatred of others to benefit their cause, a just cause, righting unjust laws without breaking any real laws. In the writing, "On The Duty of Civil Disobedience." by Thoreau, we learned how he felt about the need for a government, such as it was, and how we as law abiding citizens unwittingly become accomplices in the injustices caused by the government. He refers to his night in jail, the reason for it, and how we have an obligation to break unjust laws. The two men have very similar views on the subject of just laws and unjust laws, but each goes about dealing with the problem of injustice differently.
"I look forward to the time when Mr. Mills hands back his prophet's robes and settles down to being a sociologist again," Arthur Schlesinger Jr. wrote in The New York Post. Adolf Berle, writing in the Book Review, said that while the book contained "an uncomfortable degree of truth," Mills presented "an angry cartoon, not a serious picture." Liberals could not believe a book about power in America said so little about the Supreme Court, while conservatives attacked it as leftist psychopathology ("sociological mumbo jumbo," Time said). The Soviets translated it in 1959, but decided it was pro-American. "Although Mills expresses a skeptical and critical attitude toward bourgeois liberalism and its society of power," said the introduction to
Otto Von Bismarck (Hitler’s hero).in 1871 Otto Von Bismarck established Germany as a country by winning the Franco Prussian war. And doing that created Pan German nationalism. Another pan Germanic idol was Martin Luther, he protested against catholic churches as he thought they were flawed and wrong due to indulgencies (buying your way into heaven), he strongly expressed his anti-Catholic views by hammering his 95 thesis (problems with the Catholic church) to the door of a church. This began the protestant reformation. The Volk were also very fond of Beethoven, a German composer, however Hitler’s favourite composer was Richard Wagner and he used his music in death camps right before they would be killed.
He believes that it was the role of the government that would keep these instincts in line. If these instincts were not controlled it would lead to war. Hobbes views were shaped by his life experiences during the English Civil War. He believed people were evil and selfish. Hobbes idea that “people orbiting their ruler” leads me to the idea of socialism/communism (Sayre, 2012).
