Kristallnacht
... when the past
is full of pleasant memories, but the Klan is hanging on to
the hate and ignorance of the South in the 1800s. The Ku
Klux Klan has always attempted to reach their goal of
instilling fear and intimidation in the minds of everyone
they cross. The Klan has undergone four stages after its
establishment and the last stage is still on the rise. The
Klan has a distinct origin, a four stage revolution,
distinct symbols, recruiting requirements, and strong
political beliefs.
Formed in the 19th century, the Ku Klux Klan has
attempted to instill fear in the minds and the hearts of
black citizens in the United States. The Klan was first

Political Morality
... monarchy was
taking away power from the colonists and putting more demands on.
In return, the colonists declared their freedom from their
tyrant. In this document, it states, "All men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable
rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness." The great men who wrote this down had a strong sense
of morals. They believed that men were given rights by God that
no one could take away. This is essential to the issue of
morality because it determines the rights- that are agreed upon
all- are wrong.
This brings us to religion. Religion is a ma ...

Quebec's Quiet Revolution: What Is It? How Has It Changed Quebec's Society? How Has It Affected Confederation?
... of hydro-electric
power companies. French-Canadian engineers from all over Canada returned to
Quebec to work on the project. Slogans during these times were "we can do it"
and "masters in our own homes". The government also started to replace programs
the Church previously ran, which included hospital insurance, pension schemes
and the beginning of Medi-Care. For these programs, the Quebec Liberals had to
struggle with Ottawa for a larger share of the tax dollars.
One of the greatest reforms was the modernization of the entire school
system. The Church used to own the schools of Quebec. Most of the teachers
were Priests, Nuns and Brothers. They provided a g ...

Atomic Bomb 9
... decision essentially changed the history of warfare forever.
An atomic bomb is any weapon that gets its destructive power from an atom. This power comes when the matter inside of the atoms is transformed into energy. The process by which this is done is known as fission. The only two atoms suitable for fission are the uranium isotope U-235 and the plutonium isotope Pu-239. Fission occurs when a neutron, a subatomic particle with no electrical charge, strikes the nucleus of one of these isotopes and causes it to split apart. When the nucleus is split, a large amount of energy is produced, and more free neutrons are also released. These neutrons strike other a ...

Manhattan Project
... the United States had to decide whether it should be used and if so, where? Then there was the process of dropping the bomb. The was overall one of the highest and most significant projects ever done in the United States.2 The United States government was shocked by the news of German scientists discovering nuclear fission. The news came to the United States from Albert Einstein. Einstein found out the nuclear fission information from a German physicist named Leo Szilard. He then told it to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and urged him to start an investment toward atomic research. 3The research would then help construct an atomic weapon of mass destruction. R ...

... afford. Both men and women wore jewelry. The Egyptians thought jewelry was protection form evil or illness because it had amulets in it. Jewelry was worn for decoration since their clothes were plain white. It could also be a symbol of wealth. Some of the jewelry was worn when they were alive and sometimes it was only made for funerary use (they would only use it for funerals.) The Egyptians thought that the jewelry would protect them on their way to the next world. Broad collars were the most popular neck ornaments worn in Ancient Egypt. Broad collars were worn in the Old and Middle Kingdom. My necklace is an example of a Broad collar witch was made in the Midd ...

Communism
... who did not fit “their plan” for a perfect communist society. They carried
out the liquidation of the Kulak class. Instead of having a gradual change from a
society with classes to a classless one.
Communists in Russia not only opposed people who shared different views
than their own, but they also opposed other groups of proletariats. This directly
contrasts the original idea of a united communism movement, as stated in the
Communist Manifesto: “The Communists do not from a separate party opposed to
other working-class parties. The have no interests separate and apart from those of
the proletariat as a whole. They do not set up any secterian principles of th ...

longer citizens,could not attend public schools,engage in practically any
business or profession, own any land, associate with any non-Jew or visit
public places such as parks and museums. The victories of the German
armies in the early years of World War II brought the majority of European
Jewry under the Nazis. The Jews were deprived of human rights. The Jewish
people were forced to live in Ghetto's which were separated from the main
city. Hitler's plan of genocide was carried out with efficiency. The
total number of Jews exterminated has been calculated at around 5,750,000.

Freedom In The United States
... of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans.
In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." He recognizes the need for freedom in its entirety without compromise or fear.
I think Langston Hughes captures the essence of the American immigrants' que ...
