Fascism/Could It Happen in the US?
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that examines the nature of fascism and whether it could occur in the US. Since the 1930s and 40s, historical scholarship has wrestled with the problem of precisely how to define fascism, in both its Italian and German forms, and how to differentiate these forms from other totalitarian regimes, such as Stalinism. The lurking question behind all of such scholarship is whether or not fascism could emerge again on the world political stage. Looking at the common factors shared by the regimes of Hitler and Mussolini, as well as the features that they both share with Stalinism. There appears to be common ground in all of these authoritarian regimes that appeals to something basic in Western character and which, therefore, constitutes a danger to the concepts of democratic governance.

Gays/Lesbian Perception Within Minority Groups And Jewish Stereotypes Circa World War II
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Gay and lesbian members of minority groups receive the same level of disdain as they do from those outside their subpopulation. Indeed, one would expect gays and lesbians to be supported within their particular minority community, however, just because someone is Latino, black or Asian does not automatically mean he or she will embrace anymore social tolerance than anyone else. The ways in which Jews were stereotyped by the German people during the period before World War II are well documented by illustrating how at the time of World War I, totalitarianism was taking a stronghold upon Europe institutions, while the Great Depression proved to threaten the very character and destiny of Western civilization.

German Foreign Ministry During The Nazi Regime
[ send me this paper ]
It seems reasonable that a government that includes a Foreign Ministry would rely on that office to determine foreign policy. This was not true of Germany in the years between 1933 and 1939.

He implemented policies congruent with his own beliefs and agenda, without regard to the established diplomatic services of the Foreign Ministry. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Hades And Hitler: Compare/Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. A cold heart and calculating mind are what bind the Greek god Hades and German assassin Adolf Hitler. When one compares the similarities by which they undertook their unrelenting wickedness, it is with little difficulty that one can draw myriad common denominators where these two historical characters are concerned. Hitler, in his self-prescribed superiority, sought to annihilate the entire Jewish population in an effort to cleanse the world of what he deemed as unworthy people; Hades, whose inherent powers afforded him the ability to inflict pain and misery on all who came into the underworld, relished this hegemony.

Hitler's Popularity
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Adolph Hitler sought to create a world where only a certain populace was allowed to live and flourish. He and his men believed that all nations were as devious as they were, instilling within themselves a sense of betrayal even before it ever was to occur. Indeed, Hitler's paranoia knew no bounds. With the overwhelming influence of anti-Semitism, power worship, morality disdain and quest for world domination, Hitler proved as dangerous an entity as history has ever seen. The underpinning of the Nazi Party and his own popularity grew by leaps and bounds upon these fundamental beliefs, as Hitler sought to annihilate any and all peoples he deemed unworthy. Clearly, the Nazi objective was aimed at systematic dehumanization, a sobering concept duly noted in Richard Bessel's Life in the Third Reich and Mary Fulbrook's The Divided Nation : A History of Germany, 1918-1990.

13 pages in length. How have scholars differed on the historical usefulness and reliability of personal Holocaust testimonies? For the most part, response has been in favor of the authors, inasmuch as an abundance of cohesion with regard to details that one cannot realistically question such authenticity.

How Hitler Designed "Mein Kampf" As A Blueprint For What Would Soon Follow
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Hitler's orchestration of Mein Kampf was done in such a way that it served as the precursor for the massive human devastation that followed. Central to the underlying objective was the manner by which tremendous propaganda was imposed upon the global community, a ploy that proved both highly effective and mind-numbingly manipulative. Within the pages of Mein Kampf resides Hitler's espousing of ethnic segregation, racial inferiority and the idea of a supreme human form. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Human Rights Abuses in Film

A 5 page paper discussing the role the events portrayed in 'Schindler's List' and 'The Killing Fields' have served to shape awareness of human rights issues in the late years of the 20th century. It cannot be the place of some self-appointed body to attempt to dictate to any nation how it should collectively think, or what its philosophy should be. Human rights overseers need to ensure they are not forcing their own cultural values on another society, but neither do we need to be shy about stepping forward to halt blatant abuses of human rights. The Holocaust and Cambodia's S-21 provide the evidence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Immigrant Views on Being American
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that explores 2 works. Yoshiko Uchida's memoir Desert Exile (1982) and Anzia Yezierska's Bread Givers (1925). In these books, readers encounter the accounts of two women, each descended from first generation immigrants to America, each facing prejudice and obstacles and each coming to terms with the difficulty of being of ethnic origin in Protestant, Anglo American culture. Uchida's book is a personal memoir and while Yezierska's text is fictional, it nevertheless draws on her own Polish background and accurately reflects Jewish immigrant life in the first half of the twentieth century. While the two works address different eras and different ethnicity, they are similar in that each woman comes to terms with her own definition of what it means to be American.
