Two of the most inhumane events in man-kinds history was the holocaust and the genocide of the Ukranians. These devastating happenings of our past will remain with all humanity forever. The occurrence of strong, hated dictators has left an embarrassing history and past for the population of humans causing them to feel shame and regret forever. All we can do is learn from our past and keep reteaching it so we can prevent history occurring again. In the next following paragraphs I will be discussing the affects of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and the Coldwar.
Source 1
Adolf Hitler was indeed a fascist, many people looked up to him and trusted him with the ruling of their country, unaware of all the damage that was to be done. In source 1 the picture represents guidance, power, and a cult of the leader. In the propaganda it states "Long live Germany," Hitler believed that Germany was superior to everyone else on the planet. The Germans believed in having a strong rigid government, most German's agreed with totalitarianism. After the death of Hitler the occurance of the Iron Curtain was created.
Source 2
The "Iron Curtain," is the boarder line between two different ideologies. One side is communist totalitarianism, they are a group of collectivists that believe in a strong dictatorship . The other side being democratic, allowing them to be individualists, getting the choice to vote and having little government involvement. Both battling one another because they both think their ideologies are better. The leader of the communist side was Joseph Stalin.
Source 3
Joseph Stalin was one of the main organizers of the Bolkshieviks party and was the leader of the communist country, Russia. Stalin was a very strong dictator who took advantage of being given so much power. In source 3 Stalin states,"Death is the solution to all problems. No man-no problem" hearing him quote this proves how inhumane he treated his people. One reason he treated everyone so poorly and unjust was because he was paranoid of being over thrown, causing him to trust no one.
All three sources
Two very evil dictators that had a lot in common were Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. They both believed in running a strong forceful government. Even though they both had a lot in common, in some cases they were complete opposites. One example is that both the dictators are on opposite ends of the economic spectrum. Hitler was fascist while Stalin was communist. The difference of the two is that fascist's want individualism and have a lot of inequality while communist's want collectivism and equality- except Stalin, he demands to be the best.
After the death of Hitler, there was only one major dictator left, that dictator being Joseph Stalin. He began to get greedy and by doing so the "Iron Curtain," was created. The boarder of the Iron Curtain separated two different ideologies, communism and democratic capitalism. Stalin tried to take over every country but was thankfully unsuccessful. I believe that people should have the right to vote for their represented government and be allowed to be individualists. If you work hard and are doing well with life you should be able to receive the satisfaction from that work, rather than work hard and not get any further ahead. Every person should be able to be free and get to achieve their goals and follow their own beliefs.
You have a solid introductory paragraph. I missed a couple spelling and grammar issues when I read it the first time. You should change the following words “mankind’s history were” and “Ukrainians”. I would also reorganize your thesis to something more concise such as: “All we can do is learn from our past and keep re-teaching it so we can prevent histories such as those of Hitler, Stalin and the Cold War from occurring again.”
ReplyDeleteYour second paragraph covers all the main information. Perhaps though, you could add a little more on what a strong rigid government looked like to the German people. Other than that it looks great. There are a couple very minor grammar issues here too.
In your next paragraph your sentence “The other side being democratic, allowing them to be individualists, getting the choice to vote and having little government involvement.” Should be tightened up. I suggest: “The other side was democratic, which allowed people to be individualists, to vote and have little government involvement.”
Check your spelling of Bolsheviks. You will want to add a little about government control here. How much did he control everything? Give an example or two.
Other than those few suggestions I think your essay is terrific.
