Adolph Hitler, Pius IX, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill And Chiang Kai-Shek: Impact Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. When comparing the political and social impact of Adolph Hitler, Pius IX, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-Shek, one can easily distinguish the line that exists between and among these varied leaders. To compare Hitler to Gandhi is to place a lion and a lamb in the same confined space and watch to see who comes out the victor. Pius IX, as well, represents misdirected authority, while Kai-Shek stands firm in an autocratic society. Churchill's political and social contributions lean toward the quest for complete abolition of tyrannical rule, with Hitler at the top of his list. The writer discusses how the impact each man has had upon the world as a whole has been nothing short of significant. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The French Revolution: The Descent To Madness
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. From a constitutional reform movement initiated by a select group of aristocrats (the Assembly of Notables) in 1787, the French Revolution quickly developed into an unstoppable torrent which culminated with the establishment of a Republic in September 1792 and the execution of the king and queen in 1793. How does one account for this phenomenon? The writer discusses how there were a number of variables that helped to motivate what has come to be know as the Reign of Terror: the influence of the enlightenment, the role of class conflict and the role of counter revolutionary forces. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The Drowned and the Saved: The Effects of Violence on Language
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the impact that violence has on our language. Uses
the book, The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi to describe the
effects that violence inflicted by the Nazis in the Jewish concentration
camps had on Levi and on the language of the time. Emphasizes the
continuing moral degradation of our language and points out that the
term 'Musselmanner', which became Auschwitz slang for those close to
death from starvation and privation in the concentration camps means
more than just the physical appearance, it means the loss of will.
Concludes that the mass production of Musselmanner, the moral and
ethical starvation we are experiencing on an ever-increasing basis, has
resulted in the destruction of life and language.
