Bi-racial to tri-racial system

The United States bi-racial system, developed in the seventeenth century throughout until the middle of the twentieth century. It was established because of the large black population and historical reasons mainly slavery that formed two major racial systems of the whites and the non-white population. The non-whites include the African Americans, the Latin Americans, Asian Americas, and the Native American that experienced similar predicaments of racism, oppression, discrimination, colonisation where most of their rights were restricted as compared to the whites who considered themselves superior. Over the years this system especially after the establishment of the civil rights, has ...

Most of the people in the current generation believe that war and essentially investing in the military is good for the economy. This is quite contrary to public acknowledgement and comprehension of the costs involved in case a war takes place. World War II disrupted a lot of systems the world over; America not being an exemption. This paper seeks to elucidate on the extent of damage the American was subjected to as a result of the war. Focus will be given to the macroeconomic implications of U.S policies as a result of the conflict. To achieve a sound ...

Final Assignment: Analysis of Passage from Church, State and Jew in the Middle Ages

The letter written by James II, ruler of the Kingdom of Aragon, referred to an incident referring the loss of a young Christian boy, as reported by his mother, in the city of Saragossa. The Christians dominating the whole of Aragon that time blamed the Jews in Saragossa for the loss of the young boy. The whole incident indicated in the letter written by James II involves somewhat a conspiracy set up by the Christians against the Jews in Aragon. Given that the Christians form the majority of Aragon that time, there is an understanding that they favored any ...

The beginning of the 20th century was characterized by the initiation of scientific development and progress. The traces of this development were visible in the different parts of Europe, broadly the Western sphere of Europe. The aims set forth against this scientific development were to develop a world that is based on progress and prosperity where there would be justice and equal opportunities for every individual. However the sequence of the progress was marred by the wars that came about in the form of World War One and World War Two. The two in their own respective capacity changed ...

It is not rocket science that Jews suffered a great deal in the hands of the German war machine. The Nazis were a dangerous lot. They did not have mercy. However, even though they suffered, many chose to endure the suffering and die while fighting for their rights to exist. If it were me, I would have done the same thing as they did. I would not have gone anywhere. Knowing very well that access to safer grounds like America were denied, I would have stayed and suffered with others. Though the temptation to flee, either to America or ...

Religion - one of the most important among the many ways in which Americans are involved in the life of their community and society as a whole. Religion in the United States has traditionally played a major role. At all times, America was a virgin land to many religions, as well as the non-interference in religious practice has led to that the U.S. has become very comfortable shelter for small foreign sects. Americans donate more time and money to religious organizations and societies than all other voluntary associations together. About 40% of Americans participate in worship at least once ...

The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been the world’s major source of instability. Americans are openly linked to Israeli-Palestine conflict, and gradually endangered by its devastation. The relations of Israel and United States are critical factor in the American’s government overall policy in the Middle East. As such, the congress has placed significant importance on continuance of a secure and supportive affiliation. The distinguished expression of congressional support for Israel has been foreign aid. Notably, in the Fiscal year 2013, Israel received $8.5 million per day from United States government in military aid.

The question of whether or not the Holocaust was a unique event in history is quite a trivial one. In a sense, every historical event is unique since such an event is never identical to another one. It is not the uniqueness of the Holocaust that matters; rather what matters is whether there is some important distinguishing feature because of which historians regard it as a unique occurrence (Marrus 18-25). Indeed, there is such a distinguishing feature, and those who have debated over the uniqueness of the Holocaust have overlooked it. This is what shall be argued in this ...

The text Mt 27:32-54 relate to the crucifixion and death of Jesus otherwise regarded as the passion of Christ. The text provides insight regarding the manner in which the book of Matthew presents the historical events leading the crucifixion of Jesus. It offers an exceptional guidance aspect of the Holy Spirit in the inspired writing that depicts the mission of God in the world. Jesus’s and by extension the God’s saving act, as presented in the passion of Christ assumes and goes beyond mere human history (Lazareth 36).
The passion of Jesus was sometime during the turbulent ...

MOVIE REVIEW

I attended the 5. 40 pm screening of the Monuments Men at the AMC Bowles Crossing 12 movie theatre. I bought my ticket at $5 because the theatre offers great discounts for weekday screenings. I chose the Monday evening screening because I was certain that the movie theatre would be less crowded than the weekend. An almost empty theatre would allow me to savor the ambience and study the interaction between the movie experience and the environment. Monday night screenings are also not popular with rowdy teenagers who usually come to make noise and misbehave in the theatre.

Essay for Lesson 6: The Holocaust

Introduction
The mere mention of the Holocaust could already arouse eerily suspicious reactions from those who know about it. The idea of systematically slaughtering the Jewish people because of unfounded accusations against their racial inferiority has heaped condemnation against the Holocaust as perhaps one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in human history. Historians would even go as far as asserting that the Holocaust is the most terrible act ever committed against humans, its impact being unparalleled by any other recorded event in human history. While one could assert the foregoing statement as a subject of an intense ...

What is the Holocaust? The Holocaust is by far one of the most brutal and inhumane occurrences within the pages of human history relating to wars, imperialism and power definition in the field of political standards that define leadership and how it affects the overall living stature of humans in particular areas of the world. The Nazi rule during the time specifically affected the thinking of many people towards the Jews and other individuals who did not submit to the governmental administration of Hitler’s primary administration. The violence directed towards these individuals specifically escalated the hate that people ...

The paper seeks to explore the scope of war, trying to explain how powerful nations of the world, ironically escalate war and terrorism while claiming to cease it. The paper seeks to explain how these nations dismiss peace movements in times of war. The paper enters into murky depths to explore the justifications these nations give like stamping out terrorism, installing democracy, and eliminating fascism. These nations also claim that the y have good political wills to “get rid of world of evildoers”. This paper tries to analyse how Gene Larocque speaks to the Studs Terkel about “The Good ...

Maps can be very instrumental in the description of a given geographical period. The most interesting thing about this description is that it is seemingly limitless. This means that maps can be used to describe a wide range of factors that exist in a given geographical zone for example population or the structure of the land in terms of topography and the general outline of the structures of the land if they are natural or manmade. Thus maps are very instrumental as far as the description of a given place is concerned. The following essay focuses on a map ...

When Yahweh spoke to Moses through the burning bush as it is recorded in the book of Exodus chapter 3, it marked the beginning of the fulfillment of Yahweh’s covenant to deliver the Jews from captivity.
According to Exodus 3:1-3, “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, ...

Adolf Hitler showered death over millions of human lives not because of his personal hatred, but because to save Germany from the depression. He was cruel towards people just to retaliate what he met and got from the society. His intension to give back to the people whom he considered as enemies of his growth and his country grew from his childhood until he started his vengeance. It is a common nature of the human beings to have vengeance over the other if they get hurt at any cost. However, there were political and religious reasons behind all his ...

Introduction

Over the course of history the Jews in the diaspora have come under a lot of political, economic and cultural persecutions. This mainly occurred in Europe. This discrimination led up to the infamous holocaust and the gas chambers in Auschwitz where millions of Jews died under the rule of Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler. This made the Jewish community to think twice about returning back to their mother land. Various past and present Nobel Prize winners have been Jews. The aim of this paper is to review and analyze the history of the Jewish community as represented by ...

War is always a complicated issue, particularly with regards to wars being fought in nations not directly involved in the conflict. Public opinion of their nation entering dramatic conflicts – risking the lives of their citizens and killing others – depends largely on cultural factors that can shift and change depending on history and context. While World War II was a largely well-supported conflict, given the attack on Pearl Harbor and the undisputed evil of the Nazis, the Vietnam War had a decidedly more complex reaction. These anxieties are also reflected in literature; Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five capitalizes on the Vietnam ...

Many people feared and hated Japanese because of the terror they’ve brought in the World War II. However, if we will analyze it very well, those Japanese in prewar era were actually kind and obedient people because of their education. Their obedience lead them to follow the intentions and goals of their nation through the ideas of their leaders and their leader’s advisors – the emperor. Japanese believe that their emperor was ordained by heaven or in other words, chosen by God. Showing unconditional obedience by Japanese gave them the title Ultra-Nationalist.
If we will study their lives ...

In 1900, Great Britain was engaged in the Boer War, a military conflict that had transformed into battles with ragged guerillas -- many of them farmers and rural people. This new style of combat worried British rule because it was formidable and extended what should have been a short conflict into a longer one -- depleting the Treasury and causing concern for Britain's ruling elite, who were concerned that Britain's fighting force was not equipped or trained well enough to handle guerilla warfare.
During the First World War (which Great Britain entered in 1914), Great Britain suffered a great ...

It is not an untold secret that the World War I and the World War II are undoubtedly the major events in the history of modern world. Although the causes of the outbreak of both wars were different, the consequences were brutal and devastating. Thus, it can be easily said that both wars had profound impact on the world as millions of people lost their lives as well as their assets and property.
The World War I was started in 1914 and continued for four years till 1918. The major causes of the War include the ...

The culture that we live in needs to rediscover the selfless spirit. The cultural selfishness revolving around "what's in it for me?" has replaced the view that the act of giving is blessed rather than the act of receiving (Skinner 2011). Jesus Christ was a messiah who sacrificed himself for the greater good of mankind. He embraced death for the salvation of men to deliver them from all their sins. While reflecting upon the question as to how Jesus provided an antidote to cultural selfishness, there are plenty of episodes to choose from the gospel according to John. However, ...

World War II - Discussion Board

In Chapter 6, A People’s War, I found an interesting fact revealed by Howard Zinn that the United States is responsible for fighting a war a people’s war. The United States is not following the rules and values and this is the reason for war. Further, it is also an an interesting fact in Chapter 6 that in the World War II, the United States got the support from the racist elite for their own economic motives. The actions of the United States were driven largely by the economic interests and racists, which were criticized, because Hitler ...

After the World War II, two nations became extremely notorious in both crimes of genocide and torture: Japan and Germany. Germany’s attempt to wipe out the Jews out of Germany was because of Hitler’s orders. Hitler believed that the Caucasians are the supreme races on Earth and should remain that way. He killed and captured the Jews and created a laboratory in Auschwitz; many German scientists carried out illegal experiments that lead to torture and death of many Jews. The same case also applies for Japan. The Rape of Nanjing in 1937 tells the story of the ...

Once called the Great War, World War I differed from previous national and regional skirmishes in many respects. Not only was it a "practice run for racial cleansing", i.e. the uniquely characteristic genocidal practices of World War II, but World War I was the first international conflict that used propaganda on a massive scale. For the first time in history, the mass media appropriated both the resources and power to manipulate the minds of opposing nationalities -- and the civilians of World War I were its primary casualty.
During World War I, propaganda consisted of either outright lies, or ...

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been among most notable longstanding conflicts in world history, mainly because its controversy centers on the sovereignty over the land known as Palestine but currently occupied, in large part, by the Jewish people as Israel. Both sides have proved uncompromising – Palestinian Arabs, whose population include Muslims and non-Muslims (Christians and Judaists), claim that Palestine has been their homeland for so many years, while Jews support their claim for the establishment of Israel over Palestinian lands on account that such form what they call the Promised Land. With no solution currently in sight, both Palestinians and ...

I know very well the history of the holocaust during the Nazi Germany. I know that Jews were evicted from their homes, brought down from their profession, were made to live in the concentration camps and killed. However, my tour to the Museum of Tolerance in San Diego, California was different to the point that I cannot hide my goose bumps.

Judaism is among the oldest religions in history. The origin of the religion can be traced back to nearly four thousand years whereby the religion was initially practiced near Canaan, that is the modern day Palestine and Israel. The religion is said to have similar traits as the beliefs and practices of the Jewish or Israeli people who were rescued from Egyptian slavery by God. The heritage of the Jewish religion practices and beliefs is reflected on the covenant that God made with Moses.

He has also been supported by former president’s Bill Clinton and Tony Blair who is an unpaid advisor of the President.

While few around the world are ignorant to the atrocities of World War II, not many are aware of the atrocities perpetrated in Nanking, China. Aside from the actions in Pearl Harbor, and the consequential dropping of two atomic bombs, little is mentioned in the United States or the rest of the world about the rape of Nanking. The invasion of China’s capitol, taking place in the final months of 1937, is largely agreed upon by most sources as a normal product of war. Many innocent civilians lost their lives; courageous men and women went beyond the call ...

Schindler’s List is supposed to be one of the most outstanding movies of the 1990s. It won many awards and listed in the best 100 movies of all time. The movie is about a corrupt German businessman who saved about 1000 Jews during the holocaust. The movie is about the heartlessness of the holocaust and how people could make a difference even if they wanted to. As art, the film succeeds in achieving the artist’s or director’s intentions: that of evoking the feelings of the Jews saved by Schindler in a convincing, news-like form. The film ...

I looked forward to attending Shabbat and learning more about it not only out of curiosity, but also I wanted to become more knowledgeable about the Judaism way of worship. I had previously done some studies about it but then wanted to have a real experience with it and how Jews worship. I then decided that one day; I needed to attend a Shabbat so as to get a firsthand experience with Judaism and their worship. Shabbat, is the Sabbath day of all Jews that is celebrated every seventh day of the week (Wertheimer 48). All Jews commemorate it ...

The Jewish perspective on the hallowing of life provides an explanation into a deeper understanding of faith. It has a belief in a supreme being that oversees life and expects our actions be handled properly. The hallowing of life makes the Jewish believers act in practical manner with little emphasis on creed. Through the hallowing of life, they have a strong association and union by their practices and ceremonies like marriage and circumcision (Smith 300).
The Jewish religion places an immense emphasis on rituals and practices contrary to creed since they bring them together. Their belief in practices and ...

The 1950s in America was a great decade, both socially and culturally. Its main legacy is its economic growth. As wealthy as the post-World War II United States had become, there were several reasons that the 1950s was also a decade that had serious problems, aside from the strength of its strong -- and growing -- middle-class.
I admire the 1950s because the family was the social focus of the overall culture. Family life was the hub of America's newly-found status after the Allies prevailed in World War II, in 1945. The 1950s was also a time of phenomenal ...

According to Robinson (257), The Bible is a book belonging to the Jews since from it they derive the law, beliefs, and lore especially from the first five books. Most Jews study the Talmud such as the Orthodox while they derive their form of worship from torah or Pentateuch. Pentateuch is a Greek word meaning five pieces derived from Hebrew language. The author notes that the Bible derives different names to befit the protean form. The rabbinic literature refers to the Bible as Ha-Sefarim a Greek word meaning ta Biblia.

The holy book of Romans is undoubtedly one of the most elaborate works of Apostle Paul to the Christians living in Rome, which was then an important city both into the Roman Empire and in the work of the gospel. Rome was both an administrative and religious center, with a highly cosmopolitan population. The book of Romans is actually not Paul’s first letter but it is placed as the first epistle because of its depth in dealing with the person of the messiah Jesus Christ and the message of the kingdom of God that he came to expose ...

Introduction

In July of 1938, delegates from thirty-two countries attended a meeting at the French town of Evian-les-Baines. The discussion they had was on how to aid the Jews who were fleeing the Nazi’s Third Reich as refugees. In March of 1938, the Nazi persecution of the Jews reached alarmingly horrifying proportionsi. Many of the attendees of the Evian-les-Baines meeting openly disclosed their sympathies they held of the Jews. However, most of the countries were not able to increase their quotas of taking in Jewish refugees into their lands. They came up with one excuse after another. Thus, the ...

Running for his Life

I believe that Michael Hall, the reporter of this story, is most impressed by the manner in which Gilbert escaped from death. Gilbert has an amazing story of his account of the Genocide, and the escape from the fire is the climax. It is impressive how he became a survivor, and the reader cannot help but feel inspired. From the account of jumping through the window and running while, on fire, it is clear that Gilbert was meant to live through the experience. Michael reports, “He jumped.his back was on fire, his legs were smoking, and his feet were ...

Executive Summary

It has been noticed that, for any given religion or community, the role of women is marvellous in the development of the respective society. However, it has taken a long time for the entire society to accept the status of women similar to that of men. The same is the case of the women in Judaism, wherein, initially, during the period between 30 BCE and 350 CE, they were neglected by the society. Their role was limited within the household, and hence, they cannot contribute much to the development of the society. But, with the passage of time, and ...

The Second World War of 1939-1945 is often known as the war that redefined the international balance of power with the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union as the world’s first superpowers and the decline of Europe. Others, on the other hand, would remember the war because of the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany and the eccentricities of its leader, Adolf Hitler. In terms of his military and political strategy, experts were torn from lauding Hitler for his ingenuity and elaborate schemes to criticizing him because of the impacts it brought to Europe. However, it ...

In order to clearly approach this matter, we must first understand the meaning of the word Jew. Who can be defined as a member of a cultural society who belongs to the Judaism religion and whose lineage can be traced to the Hebrew of the Israel and to their father Abraham. It comes from one of Abraham’s ancestors who was named Eber. Teachings from another tradition say that the word came from ‘eyver’, which translates to mean the ‘other side’. It is in reference that Abraham travelled from Euphrates separating himself spiritually and morally from other nations.

The development of the Zionist movement created a powerful Jewish community in Palestine. Zionism describes a type of Jewish nationality. The people from this nationality believe that their survival, both physically and culturally is only possible if they return to their ancestral home. The ancestral home of Zionists is Israel. If they do not return to their homes then, they have scarce chances of surviving in the world. In the beginning, the group was more of a nationalist movement, seeking liberation so that they can go back to the ancestral home (Anita, 67). The movement began as a way ...

The murder of more than six million Jews by Germans and its collaborators during World War 11 in the camps is a shameful blot on the history. This is a topic unlike any other in history and an example of complete failure of humanity. The Germans clearly regarded Jews less-than-human creatures that were to be destroyed. Nazi Germany established about twenty thousand camps between 1933 and 1945 to imprison millions of victims, serve as temporary way stations and killing centers for mass murder. The essay looks into the life at Nazi Death camps through the eyes of 12-year-old Elie ...

Nevertheless, Schindler was the typical Robin Hood. Amidst the mask of being a villain, he was in fact, a ...

Vampires of Disasters: A Commentary on the American Love for History in Lev Raphael’s The Tanteh

Is not History stealing the lives of those spoken about in its pages? Lev Raphael’s The Tanteh (2006) is a short story telling of a boy’s fascination on her great maternal grandmother’s stories about the Holocaust, which led into an unwitting invasion of her life’s privacy and a gnawing anger that led to her death in a foreign land away from her family. At the heart of the story is a young narrator, whose love for his Tanteh inspired him to tell about her story as a class project, ...

I think the article focuses on the tribulations that Jews of all classes are going through in different parts of the world. Jews are attacked from all corners with no one defending them. For example, they are attacked in assemblies, in pulpits, in the streets, in parliament and hotels. Their rights that the statute guarantees are violated, and they are barred from occupying senior positions in either public or private organizations. There are plans also to remove them out of businesses. The article does not intend to raise sympathetic emotions about the deplorable state of the Jews, but to ...

Edward Wilmot Blyden was an illustrious pan-African intellectual, and he echoed one of the most common themes in black religion - Ethiopianism. Ethiopianism is the prophesied redemption of Africa by black Americans. Although in his later years he became a passionate defender of Islam, Blyden had the implicit belief that the spiritual journey of Africans in the diaspora was similar to that of the Jews. He also hoped that one day African Americans would return to their motherland to restore her to her former glory. He argued that the significance of Zionism and how it related to the Jewish ...

Obedience to authority goes a long way and has been met with little rebellion or questions. That is how strong Obedience of authority is and even if the act is inhumane or dehumanising, obedience to authority ensures that a majority of people will still carry on with the inhumane act as long as authority orders it.
Obedience genuinely refers to the orders that people partake and listen to before carrying them out on a particular assignment. Authority figures are people who give such orders and are seen as people who will either punish or reward, for the orders that ...

Punic Wars
Punic wars are the term coined by the historians about the war fought by Rome and the Carthage in 264-146 BC. The result of the Punic Wars is the dominance of the Romans to the large area of the Western Mediterranean basin (Backman, 182). Punic wars have been referenced to the Carthage ancestries since the word Punic comes Latin term “Punicus” which is associated with the Carthaginian Empire. The main reason for the emergence of the Punic wars is the Roman Expansion. which created the conflict between them and the Carthaginian Empire. In the first War, the ...

For a very long time the Jewish people maintained physical and religious allegiance to the land of Israel and Jerusalem for that matter. Jerusalem is a unique city in the world because it has a special cultural and religious importance to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. According to the Jews, it is a holy city because of very important religious events that took place there centuries ago. In fact, the city is synonymous to hope to the Jews that they will at some point return to Zion, and the Zion is in Jerusalem. When King David unified all Israel, ...

When Jesus Christ rose he told his disciples to be his witnesses in Jerusalem and in the whole of Judea as well as Samaria as seen in Acts 1:8. In fact, the book of Acts covers how the church carried out this commission and this included apostles Peter and Paul. In the first twelve chapters of the book Paul plays a key role in the preaching of the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles and as from chapter thirteen Paul takes over. These two apostles shifted from exclusively preaching to Jews to involve Gentiles because now they had to ...

Since the beginning of religion, as it is clear today, controversy has always been on the forefront. As early as before the coming of Christ, the religion has been known to be an emotive issue. A sneak preview into the early days of religion shows that Jews and Gentiles were perhaps some of the worst enemies in matters religion. That was because both groups viewed each other as lesser beings in worshipping and religious practices. This rift was mended partly during the gospel of Jesus Christ, and its completion was visible during the ministries of Paul and Peter.
