...Running head: HOW HITLER SEDUCED GERMANY WITH SPEECHES 1 How Hitler Seduced Germany with Speeches Name Institution HOW HITLER SEDUCED GERMANY WITH SPEECHES 2 How Hitler Seduced Germany with Speeches Almost everyone finds it appropriate to consider Adolf Hitler a synonym of evil. However, one wonders how Hitler gained popularity and support of Germans even when he was that wicked. A review of his speeches, though, reveals the secret. Hitler was exceptional in manipulating people with his speeches and good at using strategic propaganda techniques. Importantly, Hitler was conscious about his skills. At some time, he was quoted saying, “I am conscious that I have no equal in the art of swaying the masses” (Gigliotti, 2001). His success in moving masses is certain evidence that the Nazi leader was accurate in his sentiments. The ability to deliver engaging speeches is an important skill for anyone who needs to convince masses. It does not matter who or what the speaker is. Importantly, though, the speech must demonstrate good knowledge of pressing issues that the audience may consider important for an address. Hitler knew what majority of the people wanted to hear. He largely focused on people’s challenges in his speeches, which helped to convince his audience that he would be able to confront the challenges (Wistrich, 2001). For instance, he knew that pr eceding......

...How far do you agree that Hitler’s Regime was a ‘consensus dictatorship’? A consensus dictatorship is on that suggests Hitler’s regime was surrounded by a general agreement. This would mean that the majority of the German public were in cooperation with the Nazi regime and agreed with both the enforced and promoted concept of the regime. Hitler had mainly achieved this by trying to ‘ win over the hearts and minds of all non-Jewish Germans’ this would mean he would have the majority of the Germans citizens on his side. However, it is also suggested that many of the people had only consented due to fear which can be inferred from source 5 that it was the methods of the Nazi apparatus of terror that had led to the people conforming. Although source 6 suggests, even without terror which wasn’t completely enforced on ordinary Germans, the German public had ‘little difficulty in conforming’. As source 6 suggests ‘Nazi terror posed no real threat to most ordinary Germans’ so most people were easily persuaded by popular policies to consent to the Nazi regime. Source 6 agrees that the Nazi Regime was a consensus dictatorship as the public knew of the terror the minority groups faced but chose to ignore it due to their own self-interest and advantages of Hitler’s policies. Evidence from reports produced by the SOPADE and SPD who were in exile indicates that the people viewed Nazi policies positively. Unemployment had also reduced falling to 350, 000 by January 1939. This prosperity......

...The Effect of Different Music Frequencies on Society BS/P-001 09-05-2013 Although not everyone listens to music regularly, it can (music) have a positive or negative effect on the listener depending on the frequency. Music tuned to A=432Hz can have a healing effect, while music tuned to the frequency of 440Hz can have the opposite effect. They have both proven to be a powerful influence depending on how they are used. According to some sources, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbles set the 440Hz standard in 1939, which was later adopted by the International Standards Organization as early as 1953. Music can have a positive effect on society depending on the frequency. For example, listening to music which ash been tuned to the international standard frequency of 440Hz can cause a shift in consciousness toward more negative attributes of violence, anti-social behavior, aggression and negative emotions. In contrast, music which has been toned to the more natural frequency of 432Hz, which has been considered the pulse of the universe, when listened to, has been known to generate profound healing on all levels and spiritual well-being. Music has such a powerful influence that it has Benn used for everything from selling products to making money for entertainers. While in public, whether walking down the street, on the bus or on the subway, you see people listening to music on ipods, ipads and mp3 players and music is downloaded daily from websites that have the......

...There are many different reasons for the development of the Cold War’s in 1945 – 48. This period could be argued as being the transitional period from the USSR and USA being allied powers creating a peaceful post-war Europe to two powers fighting for control over post-war Europe. The development throughout these years, on the one hand, could be seen as being a result of Soviet expansionism, as suggested clearly in sources 7 and 9. On the other hand, in line with evidence from sources 8 and 9, USA’s economic interests could have been seen as having the most impact on the development of the Cold War. A further argument could be to suggest that it was in fact due to ideological differences, which is backed by evidence from all three sources. Overall, the development of the Cold War from 1945 – 48 owed more to the USA’s economic interests than any other factor. There is evidence in all three sources of ideology coming in to play during the development of the Cold War. “Russia wanted friendly governments on its western borders” is a clear statement that Soviet ideology of creating “buffer” states to protect them from “future attacks from the west” had a part to play in the development of the Cold War. Source 8 supports this by contributing the capitalist ideology of the US which was to use Marshall Aid (1948) to “bring economic recovery to western Europe”. The relevance of this to development of the Cold War is clarified in source 9, which explains that Stalin did not accept......

...A brief discussion of the relationship between entrepreneurship, innovation and economic development as well as the role of sustainability in the relationship Introduction: The origin and development on theory As early as the 17th century, the French term "entreprendre "appeared in economics, which evolved into "entrepreneur" as commonly used (Dees,1998). The concept of entrepreneur keeps on developing and varies with the development of socio-economics. Richard Cantillon published his in 1775 “Essay on the Nature of Trade in General" (Murphy,1986). Since then, entrepreneurship was given a definition in the perspective of behavior, including decision-making, sound judgment, supervision of production, innovation, and resource reallocation (Herron, 1993). The new definition of the "entrepreneur" credited by French economists was put by Jean Baptiste in the 19th century "the entrepreneur shifts economic resources out of an area of lower and into an area of higher productivity and greater yield". In this time, entrepreneurship was given the meaning of "creating values"(Dees, 1998). In 1911, “entrepreneur as innovator” was put forward by Schumpeter. In his theory, entrepreneurship nearly the same as innovation is thought to be a critical factor in the promotion of economic development. This theory was unceasingly completed by Schumpeter. Through the process of “disruptive innovation” (Schumpeter, 1942), entrepreneurs create economic opportunities and obtain economic benefits by......

...The Cold War marked a period of hostility between superpowers: that of the USA (and by extension, the West) and the USSR and the East. This hostility began after the Second World War, despite the supposed camaraderie between the two superpowers during the war as allies against Hitler and Fascism. Whether the schism between the superpowers was caused by their differing ideologies (the capitalist West and the communist East) or a clash between national interests and strong personalities is a matter for debate. Winston Churchill could be said to have helped cause the Cold War because of his ideological differences with Stalin. His 1946 ‘Iron Curtain’ speech certainly caused tension: it unveiled to the world Stalin’s increasing “Soviet sphere” and “increasing measure of control from Moscow”, strongly showing his disapproval of Stalin’s swooping over Eastern Europe and inferring his strongly anti-communist stance. However, this speech was given in 1946, and Churchill was no longer the Prime Minister; that role had passed to Clement Attlee, inferring that he felt he was only able to make such a blunt statement of his views once he was out of power. Conversely, when he was in high office, Churchill was able to work well with Stalin – he called him “Uncle Joe”, inferring they were more than just cordial allies working purely against Stalin. In fact, the Iron Curtain speech could be seen as hypocritical as Churchill made an agreement with Stalin which allowed him to have 75% of......

...ENTREPRENEURSHIP Anne Onyambu Ms Lorrinda Khan October 29, 2011 A Successful Business Is Created before There is a Business Entrepreneur can be defined in two ways: a) an owner or manager of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative. b) One who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods. Are people born entrepreneurs or are they trained to be entrepreneurs? Asking such a question if people are born or trained to be entrepreneurs is a question that makes no sense. It would be like asking if people are born employees or trained to become employees. People are trainable. They can be trained to be either employees or entrepreneurs. The reason there are more employees than entrepreneurs is simply that our schools train young people to become employees. That is why so many parents urge their children to go to school in order to get good jobs. I have yet to come across a parent who says, “Go to school to become an entrepreneur.” The difference between an employee and an entrepreneur is that employees look for jobs after the business is built. An entrepreneur’s work begins before there is a business. Therefore, a successful business is created before there is a business. An entrepreneur is an owner or manager of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative. Entrepreneurs become leaders because they perceive opportunities available and are......

...Brandon Alford Prof. Cameron ENG 1001-12 November 19, 2012 Hard Work Deserves Pay The screaming, the brutal running, the early mornings and late nights followed by the fear to sleep because you doubt you’ll wake up the next morning. Day in and day out college athletes do all the things the average college student does and more. Waking up, going to school. Then having to go out and perform for hours for whatever the sport that college athlete is playing. Over the course of their college career the athlete has worked up numerous days and hours worth of practices and games, leaving their bodies famished and dehydrated from all the hard work put in on top of homework and class schedules. It’s asking a lot. Playing a college sport is indeed a privilege and a choice, but to ask someone to do extra and live the same as everyone else is extremely difficult, especially as a college athlete. College athletes should receive some type of money or endowment, because they need more things to live comfortably than the average college student who just goes to school. The conditioning for a college athlete is one thing that shouldn’t be taken lightly. The amount of running that it takes to be apart of a college team is something that causes the body to become dehydrated and/or broken down if not being taken care of the right way twenty-four seven. Many college students only have a certain amount of money to hold them over until they receive more. Without money to buy waters......

...Entrepreneurs are born and not made An entrepreneur is ‘a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome.’ So are entrepreneurs born? Or made? There have been many debates from businessmen to academics alike on whether entrepreneurs are born or made, but is it as straight forward as that? In this essay I will evaluate arguments both for and against this statement and conclude it with my own personal observation. The argument for this statement that entrepreneurs are born is a scientific one, with the questions being are there specific entrepreneurial genes and/or chromosomes. Some of the characteristics credited to entrepreneurs include extroversion, risk taker, persistence, independent, innovative, opportunistic and the need for achievement. These skills are the reason many believe they are from nature as they go above and beyond those of an ordinary office manager. Many believe that these are skills are innate in a person, that they are born with them and they are skills and characteristics that cannot be taught. (Scott Shane, wall street journal) ‘40 percent of the variation in the tendency to be an entrepreneur is inherited.’ Some people say that not anyone can become an entrepreneur; they have to have the right innate qualities from birth alongside the external influences for their talents to be recognized in business. “If the environment is not conducive then entrepreneurial......

...essay: Chapter 9 : Sound- There’s always two parts to a movie: vision and hearing. The sound operates on both physical and psychological levels. For most films sound provides cues that help us form expectations about meaning. In some cases, sound actually shapes our analyses and interpretations. Sound calls attention not only to itself but also to silence, to the various roles that each plays in our world and in the world of a film. Bordwell, D. & Thompson, K.

...In the early 1980’s the San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and A. Soriano corporation (ANSCOR) group of companies, under the leadership of Andres Soriano, Jr. Addressed a long felt need for an effective formal planning system for the two companies. According to Soriano, the companies had developed their budgeting and long-range planning systems several years earlier but, despite the many advantages these gave them, they still were not satisfied with their ability to respond to the rapid changes in the environment around them. They, therefore, searched for a process that would enable them to upgrade their planning ability. SMC and the ANSCOR group, thus, sought professional advice from a team of experts on strategic planning. The team was headed by Dr. Peter Lorange, then professor at the Wharton school and consultant on strategic planning to the two companies. Soriano expressed this great satisfaction with the approach to strategic planning developed by Dr. Lorange and his team. In November 1982, Dr. Lorange addressed a joint dinner – meeting of SMC and the ANSCOR group and shared his insights on the implementation of strategic planning of the two companies. Following are excerpts from an article prepared by Lorange based on his address during the meeting as well on as the major issues raised during the lively open - forum discussion. TO QUOTE SORIANO: He endeavor has been quite formidable in terms of time and energy invested by our people during the critical first year of......

...Synopsis of Review The Great Gatsby is such a well shaped book, every point is balanced perfectly to have a highly unified ending. It doesn’t get old, always grabbing your attention. If fits every generation, making it a classic. The theme has had no real answer, having the possibility to be anything that you make it. It also ties up the American dream: being wealthy, having perfect love, and fulfillment in life. Some see the book as a spiritual failure. The background to Gatsby’s life isn’t certain even though there are many theories. The book’s narrator is compared to Joseph Conrad Marlow’s narrator in Heart of Darkness, they both dominate the novel. Marlow isn’t as involved in the storyline as much as Carraway is, but they are both used as “devices [to distance] the novelist from his fictive narrator.” Carraway differs from the other characters, one of his “ultimate strengths,” drawing us to Gatsby emphasizing the hero of the American experience. We picture Gatsby as rich, having the opportunity to experience so much more and be able to fall in love easier. Gatsby has a “Platonic conception of himself,” causing him to think he can go back to the past and get Daisy back. Gatsby works hard to fulfill his dream; he doesn’t want to face reality. “Edith Wharton told Fitzgerald that ‘to make Gatsby really great, you ought to have given us his early career.’” But having little background gives Gatsby that mysterious feel. Fitzgerald wrote a short story...
