...evil people to ever live. Armed with his lies and manipulation of the Germans, he was able to kill 11 million innocent people. But, who was Hitler really, and how could this happen? Although Hitler became the dictator of Germany, he was born in Austria in 1889. When he was three, however, his family made the move to Germany. Hitler’s family was just like any other typical family at the time. Although, Hitler himself was very introverted and detached from life. In Hitler’s young adulthood he enlisted in the German army to fight in WWI. Hitler was a very daring soldier, and he seemed to realize when it was the right time was to take a risk.

...disappointment than just being the defeated ones. It all started in the summer of 2006. The European Championship was just around the corner, and since Germany was going to be the host of this spectacular occasion, everybody was enthusiastic about the upcoming weeks. While final preparations were being made and busy bees were trying to correct the last flaws to present Germany in the perfect light to the rest of the world, the atmosphere was full of excitement and everybody was counting the days until the built-up pressure of anticipation was finally going to be released. It was comparable to a child impatiently awaiting Christmas morning. As the weeks went along, people’s moods seemed to get better and better, the more games the Germans won. It appeared that the team, captained by Michael Ballack and coached by Jürgen Klinsmann was undefeatable the closer they stepped towards the final. Many national teams stayed in Germany during that time such as...

...Have you ever wondered about Witold Pilecki and how he was a hero? Well you probably haven’t. But if you have, what i am going to tell you will hopefully answer that question. First of all, Witold Pilecki was born May 13 1901. He was born in the Olonets. He was a Polish army officer and a intelligence agent during world war II. So why is Witold Pilecki a hero. One of the few reasons Witold Pilecki is a hero is that he gathered intel on the enemy. One way Witold gathered evidence is “During World War II, he volunteered for a Polish resistance operation to get imprisoned in the Auschwitz death camp in order to gather intelligence and escape.”(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Pilecki). Another one of the reasons Witold...

...his destiny he informs his loyal men that he will fight alongside them, “one final time” (Haney.7642). When the Geat hero Beowulf is about to finally meet his match, he considers the great Thanes above himself and realizes there would have been no success without them. Beowulf evidently illustrates why he is the ideal German because even after all the things he has achieved in his lifetime, he looks back and humbly says the Thanes are greater than him. His reward for all his loyalty to the Camitatus is the acknowledgement from them that his heroic work will never be forgotten. Another example occurs before Beowulf’s battle against Grendel the great dragon as he recognizes that it was different to see the “other rigged out in his gear” and “ready for battle” (1470). As Beowulf is about to fight an underwater battle, he valorously reassures his Camitatus that no matter what happens in this battle, it will be alright. Being the leader of the Geats, Beowulf personally feels responsible for assuring the people and his comrades are safe and by stating it will be alright gives his people hope, just as the whole story of Beowulf tried to provide hope for the ordinary German tribes of the Middle Ages. Twice proving his loyalty to the Camitatus, Beowulf is considered the ideal man and a hero. On the other hand, in the Arthurian Legend just after watching the noblest of knights attempt to wield the sword stricken in the stone, “no other knight” attempted to nudge the blade and the hunting...

...hours a day and being given little to no food as a reward all the while being a victim of constant German prejudice.

There were 43 staff members taken hostage during the riot, which the prisoners for hostages and negations. For 4 days the prisoners made demands and the authorities agreed. Negotiations broke down over two key points. The prisoners wanted amnesty from criminal prosecution of the riot and the authorities wanted the removal of the prison’s superintendent. Once the hostages’ lives were threatened the prison was stormed, 39 people were killed, but control was regained of Attica. In the end between the riot and the storming of the prison 43 people were dead (NYSED, 2013). 1972 Olympic in Munich, West Germany was the scene of a terrorist attack. 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team, 9 were taken hostage by a group that called them self’s the Black September Organization.

...Aggression (8 +16 marks) Institutional aggression can be defined as aggressive behaviour that occurs within a place of confinement such as prison, and is motivated by social forces, rather than anger or frustration. One psychological explanation of institutional aggression is institutional aggression within groups. This form of aggression can be explained using the importation model which involves interpersonal factors. Research by Irwin and Cressey (1962) suggests that prisoners bring their own social histories and traits with them into prison. This then influences their adaptation to the prison environment. They also argue that prisoners are not simply ‘blank slates’ when they enter prison. Due to this, many of the normative systems developed in the outside world would be ‘imported’ into the prison. Harer and Steffensmeier (2006) offer some research support for the importation model. This particularly applies when evaluating individual factors such as age, education level and race. Their study involved collecting data from 58 US prisons where they found that black inmates had significantly higher rates of violent behaviour. However, these people displayed lower rates of alcohol-related and drug-related misconduct than white inmates. Despite this, there is a problem of sample bias with Harer and Steffensmier’s study. This is because only US prisons took part. This means that the results are not representative of the wider population and therefore cannot generalised to other prisoners...

...Foot. Jan 12, 2000). He had got into a lot of trouble with the Switzerland police due to his writing. Mussolini had been arrested and sent back to Italy, then being set free moved back to Switzerland. He got arrested again and was drafted into the military and completed his time. Once out of the military, Mussolini became a teacher for an elementary school. However, he went back to his first career as a reporter. Mussolini’s speeches were very appealing to the people of Italy, and he became very famous. He was anti-war in his thoughts, so when Italy colonized Libya in 1910, he was outraged and started a riot. Once again, his passion got him arrested, a third time. During this time in prison, WW1 started, Mussolini remained anti-war, however he had some ideas. After getting out of prison, Mussolini hatched a plan which would eventually cause revolutions throughout all of Europe. This plan was for the ending most of the monarchies, and all of a sudden he went all for war. However, his followers didn’t like his new pro war stance and kicked him out of their party. As he was recognizing the differences in his beliefs, Mussolini decided to create a new form of government. One that was based not on the ideals he felt was tearing the Italian people apart, but on strength through nationality. He would set out to conquer the Mediterranean just like the days of the Roman Empire, and he would call this new style of government Fascismo (Fascism). Fascist dictator number one, was...

...massive influx of Irish Catholic immigrants filled the slums of major cities such as New York and Boston. The “traditional” Anglo-Saxon Protestant American saw the Irish as a threat or conspiracy by the Catholic Church. The Irish began to be viewed as a nuisance and undesirable. The Irish filled prisons where were innocent. Riots and crowds of people protested the influencing Irish… who left Ireland to escape the same intolerance from Great Britain. Since the arrival of Europeans in Jamestown and Plymouth who came for religious freedom there has been a constant disrespect for Native Americans. Entire tribes were forced to relocate to lands that were completely different from the ones in which they had no knowledge of. Tribes such as the Lakota Sioux were stripped of their firearms, which they needed for survival. The US Army relocated the Sioux to Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. Hundreds of women and children were surrounded by US forces and slaughtered after an accidental gun discharge. This type of injustice was a result of hundreds of years of prejudice. German Americans were discriminated in the US between the years of 1914 and 1945. From the beginning to end of both World Wars Germans were labeled as bloodthirsty “Huns” or “Krauts”.

...considered to have God on their side.” (The Abolition of the Death Penalty in the United Kingdom) Many of them probably did not have God on their side so that is possibly why lives were lost but just from holding that scorching hot iron bar and doing other harsh punishments that were given. The harsh punishments caused the death penalty was to quickly remove the criminals with little cost. Although, “it cost more to house them and feed them inside of a prison, that is one of the reasons why the death penalty was established.” (The Abolition of the Death Penalty in the United Kingdom) There were many people doing criminal crimes and putting the mass amounts of people into a prison cell would be much harder paying for them but taking their lives would make the cost lessen. The number of offences punished by execution increased year to year until it was abolished. Executions rose as the cost of prison declined and impacted the lives of the citizens. The abolishing of capital punishment was brought up because of the Holocaust and the German Nazis. In April 1948, the House of Commons voted in favor of a Bill to suspend the death penalty for five years. “The House of Lords rejected the Bill in late 1948, but it was decided to set up a Royal Commission under the chairmanship of Sir Ernest Gowers to examine all aspects of capital punishment.” (Abolition of Capital Punishment in the UK) Although, the House of Lords rejected the Bill, they still kept the idea in mind and examined it before...
