Analysing Photos

Analyzing Pictures.

In the photo you see a happy healthy looking family of 6, they are all smiling and look like they are having fun. It is all in black and white. You can clearly see who the mother and father is. One or two of the kids are holding toys. The creator of this picture is trying to display a perfect german family, showing what germany could be like. I think it I showing this because it could be a voting campaign and they need to show what they could make it like. The intended audience is for german and also people around the world to show how great Germany is. I think it does work because it makes you think that germany it a wonderful place.

Propaganda.

The mean of this word is: used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view (from the apple dictionary). The Nazi used propaganda many times to promote the idea of NAZI. They used it a lot to enforce what they thought so people started liking it and vote for the NAZI party.

Otto Hauptmann

Otto lives works in a factory in Berlin. His union had worked together for better conditions and higher wages, but it has not made many gains. Otto blames 1923 inflation and depression. He thinks stabilize will be the answer. In factories that Otto friends work in they are taking out all the older people and keeping the younger ones because they are more productive. Otto disagrees to the point that the workers should take control of the factories and government. He thinks those jobs should be for the people who know what it is about.

I think Otto will vote for the Communist Party because the second rule/platform is 'The establishment of land reform programs, so that the government can take over the land and distribute it for common good.' and in his summery he says that stabilising will be the answer. As rule 2 states the government will take all the land and share it evenly between everyone.

Anger and Humiliation

Choose two points of this program that you think are especially unfair. Why are they unfair? Which ones do you have questions about?

4. German blood as a requirement for german citizenship. No Jew can be a member of the nation.

8. No further immigration of non-germas. Any non-German who entered Germany there after August 2nd 1914 shall leave immediately.

I think both of these rules are un fair. 'No Jew can be a member of the nation.' (Part of rule number 4) For me this is really terrible rule. Did the americans block out the Jewish people? Why the Jews? Why not the Buddhist, the Muslims, the Hindus, all the other religions? What did they do ? They are the same as everyone but they just have a couple different beliefs, it doesn't mean you have to put them in concentration camps because they have different beliefs.

I also have to disagree with rule number 8. 'No further immigration of non-Germans.' Why is it like that, what if it is a life or death situation? What if these 'Non-Germans' have no other choice? What if their family is dying in Germany and they need to give them life support? It really is just not fair. Most countries allow this why does Germany have to be against it?

If you had been on the train, do you think you would have said or done anything? Have you or someone you know ever had a similar experience?

An Auschwitz Inmate

The situation that the people are in is a horrible and terrible place to be. I have a couple questions about the piece of writing. How many people a day got added to the camps and how many did they kill everyday?

.opposites.

This shows dead and alive, also autumn and spring. I really like this because the colors are dark and light. As you can see there is a clear difference of alive and dead. This shows that different things can be in the same community and still be natural or look like it is natural.

This is a picture of forest and city. It shows the oposite of nature and man-made, the exact opposite. Man-made, could be beautiful but it is not natural and it was placed there. The forest was there all along, compared to the city the forest looks a lot nicer and more appealing.

It is acceptable to remove a member of a society or a group if he or she is thought to be inferior to the others.

I disagree with this statement because you do should not have the right to remove someone just because you do not like the way they are acting. The people that are getting bothered by it should be able to handle it and talk to the people who is bothering them. I think that because everyone doesn't like everyone and their personalities. This does not give the right to remove or take them away from the community.

What is a 'good' life ?

A good life to me is to have enough things in order to survive. Many people out in the world don't have enough food to survive or medication or shelter and they don't have such a good life. Then there is us, we go to school, we eat 3 times a day, we go to the doctor when we are sick and we have all these privileges that other people don't so we are considered to have a good life. A good life could also mean you get some of the things you want like a camera or a cellphone or lots of clothes and so on. That could also be considered a good life because you have what you want. In instances before when you drive past or through a small village you see all these little kids playing around and some look hungry and some of their clothes are worn out but they still wear them. When you see something like that you feel very privileged because you have a good life.
