This would be his military successes. Between the years 1939 and 1941, Hitler enjoyed many battle victories. From his invasion of Poland in 1939, to the occupation of France in 1940 they were all looked upon as major successes for Hitler. He must have felt unstoppable, but he should of known with infinite successes come enormous failures. He was also successful in brainwashing the German children by rewriting German textbooks.
That created a new federal dimension of citizenship for all Americans, and sought to guarantee universal male suffrage. Once they were ratified, congress was constitutionally empowered and obligated to protest and enforce them, sustaining the broad new powers and active role of the government. The post war period began with a series of fairly lenient Reconstruction plans put forth by presidents Lincoln and Johnson, who were both eager to see former confederacy returned to the union with as much speed and as little vindictiveness as possible. As the ineffectiveness of Reconstruction became apparent in the face of blatant violations of the freed peoples constitutional rights and liberties, northern voters elected republicans to congress by a landslide, there providing a mandate for the republicans to take the job of putting the union back together again. They were deemed radical by subsequent historians because they insisted that blacks be protected in their new found rights.

Trevion Jefferson English 100C 8/28/09 This is a review of a short story titled "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. When I first looked at the title, I wondered who Harrison Bergeron was. As I started reading the story, I began to realize why Harrison stood out. In the setting that author laid out, the government has succeeded in making the statement “All men are created equal” a reality. He is showing readers a society without individuality.
Accused of mass murder, unfair treatment, harsh taxing, no toleration of other beliefs and ideas, Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of the Quin dynasty, was able to clarify and justify his actions. Shi Huangdi proclaimed, “A strong empire needs a strong ruler,” (Erick Salas) and thus began the intense battle on Friday to prove him innocent on trial. gggggShi Huangdi began the trail by stating the history behind his life and the many accomplishments he gained during his reign. He was able to mesmerize the crowd with the achievements of the Great Wall, forming a written language, and standardizing currency. He did fail, however, to mention the consequences of his decisions, which the prosecution
The Night of the Long Knives represented a triumph for Hitler, and a turning point for the German government. It established Hitler as "the supreme judge of the German people", as he put it in his July 13 speech to the Reichstag. Later, in April 1942, Hitler would formally adopt this title, thus placing himself de jure as well as de facto above the reach of the law. Centuries of jurisprudence proscribing extra-judicial killings were swept aside. Despite some initial efforts by local prosecutors to take legal action against those who carried out the murders, which the regime rapidly quashed, it appeared that no law would constrain Hitler in his use of power.
English 1B February 23, 2012 Kurt Vonnegut Jr.: Harrison Bergeron The short story, Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., is one of a dystopian society. The story is set in the year 2081 and everyone is equal, because anyone who is better than the average is handicapped, mandatorily, by the government. The handicaps come in the form of weights for people who have greater strength than others or earpieces, that distract those with too sharp of a mind with loud noises, to keep their mind scattered. The setting is of a husband and wife, George and Hazel Bergeron, who are watching a television broadcast of a ballet. Their son, Harrison, was recently taken away for attempting to overthrow the government.
The second lines “Beautiful as dancers,/gliding over each other like ice-skaters/over the ice,” show through her choice of words how she does not see sex without love as something unclean, but rather as a show between two people, each performing for the other. Dancing and ice skating are both beautiful arts which are fully accepted in society, so in comparing sex without love to these arts, Olds is conveying to readers that she doesn’t care what they think of what the “ice-skaters” are doing and that they are performing something beautiful in cold grounds( no feelings). All that seems to matter is their personal happiness of the moment. However, Olds does seem to be able to see how that sex without love really is. She also describes the lovers “faces red as steak’ red representing the color of sensuality the desire of burning fire.
Adolf Hitler Leadership Angie C Cruz Hodges University OLMNA4360 Dr. Karen McKenzie October 25, 2013 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Situation Analysis 3 Problem Identification 5 Best Choice of Action 6 Characters 6 Student Use of Leadership Outcome 8 Conclusion 9 Reference 10 Introduction Adolf Hitler, regardless of his wrong doings and the obvious evil that he empowered, was one of the great leaders of our time and changed the way that our society looked at war. The fact that Hitler came from a front-line soldier with no real future in a leadership role to the chancellor of Germany and the commander of a great army shows his great will and ability to meet his goals and to manipulate people to achieve a vision. This case study will analyze the leadership tactics utilized by Adolf Hitler, as well as the personal issues he had with himself, society and the world he lived in. This paper will also look at Blake and Mouton's Leadership Grid model which will show what kind of leader Hitler was. Hitler should be taken as a "9,1" type leader, the place on the model known as "authority-compliance".
They achieve this equality by using handicaps to set everyone to the same level of abilities, such as beauty, strength, and special abilities. Vonnegut uses “Harrison Bergeron” to teach the lesson that all people are not equal, but rather, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses to contribute. Vonnegut uses tone, symbolism, and imagery to show the reader how full equality is not only impossible but also that it is an idea that is not worth striving for as it is unnecessary and possibly even harmful to society. In the year 2081, Vonnegut’s story reveals a futuristic dystopia where society has been forced into full “equality” by the government. The citizens are forced to use government assigned handicaps, so that they do not have any special gifts that are beyond the “average person,” which happens to be an absurdly low standard.
