However it did not always work out well as the government would loan the serfs this money and then have them pay it back over 49 years. A reason for this could’ve been that Alexander II was worried about a revolution from below from the serfs if serfdom was not abolished after the loss in the Crimean war. Also from source one I can gather that Alexander II may have been worried about the serfs responsibility which he had bestowed upon them ‘Only by assiduous labor, a rational expenditure of their strength and resources’....’can they hope for prosperity and progress’ This shows that Alexander II may not be offering any solid support for the serfs in their now free lives and that they have to organise their money well as they owed lots of money back to the state through redemption payments, meaning they couldn’t live the more prosperous life they fully expected. Source 2 shows how Alexander II was in a tough position as he did not want to fully upset the serfs or the nobility. ‘To give the land meant to ruin the nobility, and to give freedom without land meant to ruin the peasantry’ This here may have been the platform which led Alexander II into manipulating the
Growth of support for facism was a reason for Mussolinis appointment as Prime Minister,however there were many other reasons for Mussolinis appointment as PM, but growth of support was very important for him. The war and the mutilated victory, had an affect on Mussolinis appointment as PM. The main reason wad that the nationalists were bitterly disappointed that italy didn’t make any gains during the war. The nationalists claimed that Italy had been betrayed by the Liberal government, this shows that the nationalists might have wanted to overthrow the Liberal government and therefore supported Mussolini before he was appointed. This links into the title point that Mussolini had a wide support base and that it was growing.
War is portrayed as glorious and honorable to the eyes of the public through government propaganda. Wilfred Owen fought in World War I and argued against these views. In “Dulce et Decorum Est”, Owen wants the public to know the gruesome realities of war and not to be swayed by what is fed to them in public propaganda. The poem shows these realities in a very detailed manner. Owen shows the ones who die are not the only ones who suffer.
This just reflects on the attitude that the rich held and holds in higher contrast the dedicated drafted soldiers versus the rich who avoided injury. This impacted my thinking by adding more details to my prior knowledge of the how and whys of the Declaration of Independence. Not only was it a document to send to the king of England, but it was a symbol that even the common man could look up to. Zinn mentions that, “the use of the phrase ‘all men are created equal’ was probably not a deliberate attempt to make a statement about women. It was just that women were beyond consideration as worthy of inclusion,” (Zinn 73) and I think that if I were a male farmer working hard for his family back in the day, this statement would be just fine.
A theme in both sources is the who won them war, source A is very clear on saying the war was won by the people, 'not by any one man', where as the conservatives campaign was largely based on Churchill and how he won the war. Source A appeals to the general public more than B as it says the war was one by ordinary people which brings a sense of unity. A is political propaganda promising all the issues that needed to be dealt with, like employment and security. Of the sources Source A is more typical and reliable as the things said are what labour stand for and is a prepared written manifesto unlike source B which is a speech. Source A is intended to be repeatedly seen across the country and appeals to the general public insisting on working together through the hard times, addressing the social issues with solutions.
It almost leads us to question Henry’s morals if he is willing to kill infants. Although we assume that Henry is just playing up what will happen because he hasn’t lost control of them yet we have to play with the notion that Henry isn’t on as high of a moral ground as we thought even though it might be a just ground. This speech also uses a lot more detail to describe certain events than the other two speeches. He vividly states, “ the blind and bloody soldier with foul hand defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters:”(34-35). This is very detailed and horrific because he is saying he won’t be able to stop his soldiers from raping the women in the city.
This is considered to be of high risk because it can pass other diseases which can make them ill because of their low immune system already being weak by the HIV virus. Some men find it difficult to ask their partners to wear a condom because it raises feelings of insecurity and infidelity in the relationship. In many cases men don’t have access to condoms so they decide to have unprotected sex. Many gay men have difficulty disclosing their sexual orientation because of fear of rejection from family, friends, children and society. It is advised that they receive mental health treatment to deal with these fears of rejection.
These immigrant soldiers would gladly fight and give their lives to protect their homelands from tyrannous German military dictatorship. The U.S. government would use these ties of patriotism and anti-tyranny to strengthen their troops through propaganda, libel, and advertising methods such as slogans, caricatures, and the first appearance of Uncle Sam. Patriotism would unify the American people as a whole during the Twentieth Century. Racial prejudice and segregation were prevalent among both American and European troops during World War I. The French respected the African American soldiers, but did not want jealousy to arise between them and the white American troops.
Henry had immediately married her after all the delays that his father had caused. Everything had seemed to be going to plan but later he faced major problems because of his decisions. Henry was largely successful in being different to his father. The nobility liked Henry and saw him as a true king because he had engaged in war where his father never did. Henry also wanted England to be a major power in international affairs.
It was a social and cultural hierarchy that was largely self-policed, with members of different classes rarely willing or able to move to alternative social groupings. It was expected that people would conform to the values of their peer group, and any attempt to transcend this hierarchy was restricted by social convention. The Second World War The experience of the Second World War was to have a profound effect on the way British people saw themselves, both in terms of their role in society and in the expectations they had of their own quality of life. Even though Britain’s involvement in the war resulted in great hardships, it also led to many positive changes in British society. Through its efforts to win the war, the country experienced a powerful sense of unity.
