"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Said by Winston Churchill. Government plays an important role in our society. With these three sources about Hitler, the Iron Curtain and Stalin, government plays a huge role, whether its a low amount of government or a significant amount.

Source one is showing that Hitler was in power by standing bigger than everyone else and showed this through propaganda. Fascism is used widely to embrace many dictatorial right wring parties and governments. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist. He used his power to over rule the people and used propaganda to influence a fascist state. Hitler turned Germany from a democratic society into a totalitarianism society. Hitler took away all their rights and made them follow him, since he was so powerful. For example, when Hitler convinced everyone that the Jews where not a true German and needed them to be inexistent.

Source two is showing a map of Europe post WWII. After WWII The Cold War began, and divided Europe into two sides, communism and democracy. In 1946 Churchill called Soviet domination of E. Europe, The Iron curtain divided the western and the eastern sides of Europe and created two different alliances. Communism is when the government owns and operates almost all nations means of production, while a democracy is when the government owns and operates very little of the nation and gives people lots of freedom. With these two very different ideologies there was lots of competition. This competition lead to the invention of the nuclear bomb. The first was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th 1945 and the second on Nagasaki August 9th 1945. The Russians weren't surprised about the bomb, they were more surprised that the US actually used it. Also the two sides of Germany competed over puppet states. Puppet states are little states that are surrounding the country that are controlled by that country.

Source 3 is a quote from Joseph Stalin "Death is the solution to all problems. No man-no problem." This source makes sense, by telling the actual truth. Joseph Stalin is saying that without people there will be no problems, although this is a very unrealistic assumption it has some truth behind it.  People and their issues are one of the main causes of political and economic problems. Joseph Stalin was a very communist person that believed in that the government owns and operates almost all the nations means of production. With this mind set on the economy, Stalin became a very powerful person in which people followed and obeyed him. For example when Stalin created the Gulag labor camps that forced everyone into work.

With these three different sources, i believe that the best form of government would be when we have some political control but are able to have the freedom to do what we please with our lives. With all these different views on how the government is looked at and how its portrayed to the society, that's where we get different ideologies.
