...nationalist message, that went against the postwar values of Americanism, materialism, and mammonism, which threatened to overpower Volk, God, and fatherland. Diehl wholly supported National Socialist goals, the Nazi’s anti-communism and anti-Semitism, and was particularly concerned with stemming the tide of moral ‘filth’ including the campaign to legalize abortion. Diehl was installed as ‘cultural advisor’ in the Nazi Party, but by 1936 had lost any appreciable political influence or organizational role. The Document in its Historical Context The title of the document undergoing analysis is, “A New Type of Woman”, and “Principles of the National Socialist Women’s Organizations” (the document), both from the book ‘Die deutsche Frau und der National Sozialismus (The German Woman and National Socialism), and published in 1932. “A New Type of Woman”, as written by Guida Diehl, outlines what characteristics a German woman should possess, and what type of woman she should aspire to become. “Principles of the National Socialist Women’s Organization” echoes Hitler’s ideas about a nationalistic society consisting of a purely Aryan race, focusing on women’s role in abiding by these rules. The National Socialist Women’s League was established in 1931, but was not fully active until Hitler seized power in 1933. Its main purpose was to bring other women’s organizations in line with...

...This past summer of 2016, I have dedicated my time and effort training and volunteering as a lifeguard and have spent countless hours doing something where I could have otherwise been paid. I spent this time not only benefiting myself with lifeguarding experiences, but also benefiting those around me, and those who need me to help. During my time volunteering as a lifeguard, I not respected the authority of others in control, but, I also took initiative when it was necessary. During this time, I looked over the lives of people at the pool, spent time administering swim tests for younger children, cleaning the bathrooms, and power washing the deck around the pool. After the summer was over, I felt accomplished by spending my time and effort...

... says that “such fundamental goal disparitires oftern go unrecognized or remain taboo.”1 It is for this very reason that joint ventures often fail. Hofstede’s five levels of cultural dimensions shed light on the differences of foreign investment. Semenov analyzed the differences in economic governance among 18 developed countries Western countries and proved direct links between systems of governance and Hofstede’s original four cultures value dimensions of Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism and Masculinity. Kogut and Singh in the article have found a way to measure cultural distance between countries and a correlation of investment. It showed that for instance the more culturally distant countries from the US the less their investment into the US. It is evident that the...

...Kim Dae-jung & Truth reconciliation South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established on December 1, 2005, during the presidency of Roh Moo-hyun. This governmental commission was set to investigate incidents in Korean history, all the way back from annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, up to the election of Kim Young-Sam in 1993. South Korea has been subject to a period of military dictatorships, during which there was given little attention to truth-funding. Also, South Korea’s fight for democracy spans out on a long period of civil movements and demonstrations. They often led to uprisings, which were often repressed hard by authoritarian and military power. Demonstrations, like the Kwangju Uprising in 1980, were subject to murder, torture and other abuses of human right. These acts were often covered up and ignored by the government. However, the prosecution and sentencing of two former authoritarian rulers, Chun Doo-Hwan and Rho Tae-Woo in 1995, was a clear sign that times were changing and even successful coups can be punished. At the end of the 90s, laws for rectifying the past were established under the government of Kim Dae-Jung. The Truth & Reconciliation Commission would go stay active until 2010, when the conservative Lee Myung-Bak stopped the funding. What led to this sudden governmental interest in truth and reconciliation under the Kim Dae-Jung government? In this literature review we will look at the factors that instigated interest in...

...Thomas 1 Lady Bird (Claudia Alta Taylor) Johnson: The Emergence of a Public First Lady with Private Influence “The Evolution of the role of First Lady in America during the past half century has been….almost as dramatic as the expansion of the Role of the Chief Executive.” [1] Katie Louchheim in the March 1964 issue of Ladies’ Home Journal observed this phenomenon. The most significant development was the power acquired by the first lady through her position as a public figure: “Regardless of her distaste for public life, her role can no longer be a private one; she acquires indirect power when her husband takes the oath of office as President of the United States.”[2] In the Era of 1964-1977 the role of the first lady began to transform from one of a political celebrity to the first lady as a Political savvy activist. One of the First Ladies during this era instrumental in the emergence of the first lady as a proactive political activist was Lady Bird (Claudia Alta Taylor) Johnson, wife of former President Lyndon B. Johnson. Through exploring Lady Bird’s roles as a wife, mother, conservationist, businesswoman, philanthropist and First Lady, one will further understand how her influences and actions transformed the role of the modern First lady and how she used her platform to eventually transform not only cities and states but an entire nation well after her role as First lady. In order to fully understand Lady Bird Johnson’s...

...I believe that I best exemplify the service pillar of the National Honor Society. Service has always been a fundamental part of who I am as a person, and I have consistently sought out opportunities to give back to my community and make a positive impact on those around me. One example of my commitment to service is my involvement in a local soup kitchen. Every Saturday morning, I volunteer at the soup kitchen to help prepare and serve meals to those in need. I have been doing this for over two years now, and it has been a deeply rewarding experience. I have formed relationships with many of the regulars who come in for a hot meal, and it has been humbling to see the difference that a simple act of kindness can make in someone's day. Through this experience, I have learned the importance of empathy and compassion, and I have developed a deeper appreciation for...

...of corrosive effects on societies. It undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets, erodes the quality of human life, and allows organized crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish. This evil phenomenon is found in all countries… but it is in the developing world that its effects are most destructive. Corruption hurts the poor disproportionately by diverting funds intended for development, undermining a Government’s ability to provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice and discouraging foreign aid and investment. Corruption is a key element in economic under-performance and a major obstacle to poverty alleviation and development.” Koffi Anan, foreword, United Nations Convention against Corruption, 2003. When Democracy and central governance was formed in ancient Greece, it was for the very purpose of preventing the powerful few putting their needs above those of the masses they ruled – after all ‘Democracy’, stems from the Greek demos and kratia literally meaning the power of the people. For peoples familiar only with autocracies and hereditary monarchies, this was a radical notion. Why then, in some modern democracies, has the word government come to be almost synonymous with corruption? Corruption in government is now seen to be an unavoidable consequence of humans holding power, and the oft-cited moniker from British Lord Acton of ‘power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely’ seems...

...They started putting their beliefs into practice by teaching young girls that their purpose is to get marry to a German man and maintain a household. Moreover, right after coming to power, Hitler enforced the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage, which stimulated newly married couples to give birth to children by giving them a loan that could only be paid back after having four children (Schuring 2014). This way, the state would increase the level of population in order to enhance the power of its military services. Besides, Nazis emphasized on the significant role of mothers in the society. The party tried to highlight it as the greatest honor a woman can have and put special importance on raising children. That is why the party created a slogan “Kinder, Küche, Kirche”, which claimed children, kitchen and church to be the most vital elements of a woman’s life. Women were supposed to be subtle homemakers, and producing Aryan children was their biggest and most valued task. What is more, they even received medals for having more than five children and were idolized by the authorities and society (Schuring...

...spring, I was inducted into National Honor Society with the goals of giving back to my community and school through volunteer service and teamwork. Since then I have volunteered at numerous events and inside classrooms, each time learning more about the goodness of people and how I can be a part of something that can change lives. As my senior year started I was approached by the NHS sponsor at my school, and she asked me if I would be willing to take on a new project that would provide students in need with access to basic items that they could not get at home. There are many students at Thomas Dale who go hungry throughout the day, or do not have access to basic toiletry items. So I made it my goal to start up the National Honor Society’s...

A man with such an accomplishment would only be talked from generation to generation as an example of a leader that drastically change Japans’ traditions and history. Ieyasu was one of three founders of the unified Japan, along side his former, Lord Oda Nobuga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Ieyasu achieved what most of his previous allies did not, a military regime so powerful and capable of uplifting Japan’s national spirit and traditions after the civil unrest and constant wars that once flew over this country. There is no doubt that Tokugawa’s regime was responsible for social change in Japanese society towards a medieval ruling. Junnosuke...
