Liev Schreiber, director of ‘Everything Is Illuminated’ and Mark Baker, author of ‘The Fiftieth Gate’, have challenged the idea of historical facts being the only way to tell the stories of history. Both have merged memory with history to tell a story of survivors in the Holocaust. Baker represents History whilst his parents represent memory. He uses history and the memory of his parents (expression- can you say he uses memory?) by confirming some of his parent’s memories with historical facts as well as questioning memories that are in conflict with historical records.
This is evident when Bulwer Lytton, author of ‘The last days of Pompeii’ had removed a skull he had discovered from Pompeii as a souvenir. Discussion between the display of bodies in Pompeii and Herculaneum has also increased due to the salting of certain sites within both Pompeii and Herculaneum. In 1768 a tableaux had been created from the remains of Pompeii aiming to fool an Austrian Emperor into believing in an apparent discovery made by archaeologists at the time. This is also seen in more recent displays such as in the House of Menander where Amedeo Maiuri between the years of 1920-1930 had constructed imaginative scenarios by salting the scene with evidence. However Estelle Lazer then rectifies this when she studies remains found within the area and discovers that the bones placed within the scene do not belong together.
It will also show that I reflect on my experiences of using knowledge and skills and how they have helped my own social work practice. I will evaluate the relevance and impact the areas had on my practice and how it helped me develop a better understanding of the individuals I worked with. I’ll reflect on how my learning from these experiences has helped my understanding of service users and the contexts in which they live. I will use Kolb’s (1984) theory of experiential learning i.e. the cycle of learning to enable me to develop my own understanding and as a reflective practitioner I can link this with Schon’s (1983) concepts of reflecting in action and reflecting on action to help improve my actions and professional practice and show that I evaluate my experiences and integrate it to theory and knowledge in supervision (Aids to Practice cards, Values and Ethics, p112).
The aim of this essay is to evaluate client-centered therapy as a technique used in counselling. This will be achieved by reviewing the application and limitations taking into account of groups, families, culture and gender. Rogers own unique approach to person-centered therapy, is understanding personality and human relationships. Rogers’ theory of nurturing relationships consisted of acceptance, caring, warmth and respect in order for change to take place (Wilkins, 2010). Conditions of worth depend on the model, unconditional positive regard of empathy, congruence and self-actualization.
Eichmann in Jerusalem In 1961 Hannah Arendt covered a trial for The New Yorker of a former Nazi SS officer named Adolf Eichmann that she would use to show a different perspective of why an individual is lead to commit a crime. In Eichmann in Jerusalem, Arendt writes about how she observes a truth that, except the desire of improving his career, Adolf Eichmann had no motives at all in doing his job for Nazi party and can instead be qualified to say that he acted out of sheer thoughtlessness. Examining this thoughtlessness brings up other points for Arendt such as how thoughtlessness can be used in modern societies as a source of powerful evil and how it can show that a perpetrator does not have to be far from normal to be a criminal. Arendt uses Eichmann’s case to showcase her point that besides the desire to improve his career, Adolf Eichmann had no malicious motives in doing his job, but his sheer thoughtlessness governed his actions in criminal activity for the Nazi Party. What Arendt is inherently saying about Eichmann when she states that he acted out of sheer thoughtlessness is that he is not thinking or what can also be said is that he suffers from lack of thought.
As Joel is running around in his memories, he quickly realizes he doesn’t want to forget Clementine after all. In a panic, he tries to hide his memories of her with other memories in places of his mind that the erasing machine would have a hard time locating. His attempt to save his memories of Clementine failed and by the end of the erasing process he had forgotten who she was. Through the use of the scientific fictional idea of using a machine to erase a single person from one’s mind, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind reveals the importance of memories in our lives. Roger Ebert, writer for the Chicago Sun Times, states that the insight of Eternal Sunshine is that, at the end of the day, our memories are all we really have, and when they’re gone, we’re gone”.
“…And You Shall Teach Your Children”: Holocaust Denial and The Importance of Education The Holocaust illustrates how silence and indifference to the suffering of others, can however unintentionally, serve to perpetuate the problem. It is an unparalleled event in history that brings to life the horrors of racism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism, as well as the capacity for human evil. The Nazis were the original deniers of the Holocaust. Though, at the beginning they documented every killing and every policy, this was all done in secret and via code words (united states holocaust museum). Once it became clear that they were not going to win the war they made it their very mission to destroy every piece of evidence and documentation that called for the extermination of the Jewish people.
Although he helped uncover the Great Tombs of Egypt, His methods were often destructive and quite unorthodox. Belzoni broke into the pyramids using dynamite, which destroyed many ancient artefacts. Again the motive behind his diggings was to find hidden treasure so that he could sell the artefacts to collectors. However modern archaeologists view on how to excavate have considerably changed. They see archaeology not as a chance to find treasure but rather a science and a way of educating people and providing them with ancient pieces of history.
