In contrast to Gellately, John Delaney purports certain groups of German civilians were less inclined to follow racial policies, in his article, “Sowing Volksgemeinschaft in Bavaria’s Stony Village Soil: Catholic Peasant Rejection of Anti-Polish Racial Policy, 1939-1945.” Examination of the two articles displays that geographical location, wealth, and one’s pre-existing ideologies played a ample role in how individual citizens experienced ordinary life during Nazi Germany. Geography played a crucial role in how one experienced life during Nazi ruler ship. Agrarian parts of Germany would have been harder to patrol and would have a higher degree of privacy. When labor shortages encouraged Nazis to ship Polish laborers to rural areas, such as Bavaria, the agrarian type people could relate more to the Polish worker. Before the war, many Polish citizens had lived in small villages or rural landscapes and were used to the agrarian lifestyle.
Despite the similarities between the two, Adshead concludes that when examining Han China and the Roman Empire before Constantine, their "differences outweighed the similarities". [2] In the opinion of Scheidel: only comparisons with other civilizations make it possible to distinguish common features from culturally specific or unique characteristics and developments, help us identify variables that were critical to particular historical outcomes and allow us to assess the nature of any given ancient state or society within the wider context of premodern world history”. This excerpt was taken from Wikipedia and it also states that not only that there
So I would have to say that the policies were mostly Tory throughout this period although as I’ve said, there are a number of mitigating factors which could hinder this judgement. The historian Evans is negative towards the idea that Liverpool’s “second wave” was indeed liberal, he comments that few ministers changed their positions and argues that the Liberal frameworks would’ve been placed by the supposed reactionary “first wave”. Liverpool passed an Act increasing the voting qualification of Irishmen from 40 shillings to £10. To me this sticks out as highly reactionary as it was passed in the hope of preventing lower class Irishmen voting radicals into parliament. It is a direct way to prevent any significant change to the government personnel.
The amazing closeness yet separateness of these advanced civilizations can be expressed in a number of different ways. One of those similarities is that emperors used their religion to justify their power. An economic difference between Mesopotamia and China is China’s smaller scale cultural diffusion because of natural barricades making it a difficult place to reach. These two factors express the ways in which China and Mesopotamia are similar yet different politically, economically, religiously, and
In the Han and Roman empires, the two cultures felt extremely different about their attitudes towards technology, but even within the cultures themselves, these attitudes were not necessarily the same. Hans believed that while technology was primarily for the lower class people, upper class people should invent these, and sometimes use them. However, the Roman empire seems to be thoroughly divided on their attitudes towards technology. Some of the documents seem to think that technology is not for the upperclass, and is in fact vulgar, but others seem to think that it is beautiful and useful, created by the lower class but used by both. The first four documents are from the Han dynasty, and two of them are from government officials, which would probably mean a weak bias on their part towards the government.
Although the economic effects of silver flow from the mid 16th century to the early 18th century seem to perceived similarly in the separate countries, the social effects are more biased based on the source’s point of view. Documents 4 and 5 show that silver was the preferred means of pay even though the sources were from different points-of-views (British and Ming respectfully), however; documents2 and 7 show that the Spanish and the Chinese have different views on their hometown effects. The documents that are in terms of economy prove to be impartial such as document 4 which involves an outsider’s view from Britain who is analyzing the Portuguese’s use of silver for the Chinese goods.In document 5, the Ming writer portrays a blatant statement that in older times, a simple barter for dyed cloth would suffice but with the since the economy is becoming more desiring of silver, common shops are starting to complicate things with solid payments of silver.For the Spanish vantage, the priest states straight facts saying that according to official records, there was an incredible amount of silver circulating.A document that would increase the understanding of the economical effects would be a report from an official documenter in Manila that has the ratio between the silver going out versus the amount of goods from China to show who has the advantage in the trade- to serve something that has a professional view. By contrast to the non-opinionated economic effects, the social effects of the silver circulation differs opinions that represent each nation involved. Taking a look through the Ming Dynasty’s eyes, they believe that the greed involved in the silver is corrupting their lives.Interesting enough, all of the documents that are considered “Social Chinese”, they all are from the Ming officials.In document one, the Ming official is arguing that
The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
Carlos Turcios Turcios1 Professor Lenerville Political Science 2 7 December 2012 Compare and Contrast: China & United States Government The Governments of China and the U.S share some similarities, although they have many differences as well. Both governments reflect their way of life for each country, they both include higher expectations,and both governments feel that their current system is the best government for their respective country. Both societies originated in different times, that adds to the difference in their in their lifestyle and culture. Distinctness between both cultures governments are also obvious, the main one being China having a single political party as opposed to the United States having two main political
The Nationalistic Epidemic Herbert A. Miller THE purpose of this paper is to show that the nationalism of Europe has been in part induced by the reaction in Asia to European imperialism, and also to indicate that its course in Asia will be modified by the varied cultural structures of the several countries there. Although I omit much of the discussions usually involved in nationalism, I would not exclude their validity. NATIONALISM DESCRIBED I have said elsewhere: There is no concrete and permanent definition of a nation. It usually has some geographical relations, but may exist without them; it may inhere in a consciousness of blood relationship, but aliens may be adopted into it; it may turn on tradition and history, but myth may
Diamond uses historical anecdotes because they give a further explanation and a better example to support but only explains some but not every fact as evidence. A historical anecdote is a "proximate explanation" that states itself clearly conferring the economic power within both the Maori and the Moriori and Pizarro and Atahualpa. These historical anecdotes can also relate to various factors referring to Yali's question, whereas statistics couldn't "get right on it" if you know where I'm coming from. 2. Yes, I can relate but it was a fiction movie about vampires and Abraham Lincoln as a vampire sleigher.
