Positivity Against Conflict People face conflict everyday across the globe, it's something everyone goes through. Many people deal with conflict in their own ways, but some people just stay positive, and it helps a lot. In fact, staying positive is one of the best ways to deal with almost any kind of conflict, whether it's bullying, prejudice, or violence, staying positive can go a long way. Through the course of history, some people are faced with unimaginable conflicts, and they stay positive. Their positivity can reach as far as inspiring people around the globe, even after death.
People like Anne Frank can show the world how to stand up against any hardship. She faced mass prejudice, imprisonment, and killing of her religion, all while during World War II. She stayed positive by writing a journal—who she called “Kitty”— while in hiding from the Nazis. She and her family were found and put into a concentration camp where she became ill and died. Her legacy has spread across the globe, and inspired people young and old to stand up against conflicts and hardships.
She faced unimaginable things at only 15 years old. She was deprived of almost every luxury she had. “Only now do I realize how pleasant a street car is, but we Jews are no longer allowed to make use of this luxury; our own two feet are good enough for us,” (StudySync, 372).

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: A Fable is one example of how one's positivity can go a long way. Bruno, a little German boy, made a friend named Shmuel, who lives in a concentration camp. Bruno doesn't understand what's happening, but he makes Shmuel feel more positive about the situation he's in. “... I should have given you some chicken too. Are you hungry?” (StudySync, 386). Bruno doesn't know about the horrors Shmuel faces, and by offering Shmuel some chicken, he makes Shmuel feel more positive about his situation, and that some people are
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live during World War 2? Life during World War 2 was torture if you were jewish, especially if you were a kid. Felix Salingar from Then by Morris Gleitzman and Anne Frank both knew what it was like. Their stories both describe the lives of jewish children hiding from the Nazis, in fear of being taken and killed. Throughout both of their stories, many character traits were discovered about them that show how they are similarly affected by the events in their stories. Anne Frank and Felix Salingar have many similarities, some of which stand out more than others.
To conclude, positivity is the better solution to a conflict. It can help you look at things in a different perspective.Your outcome will surely be better with a better attitude. If Anne Frank, Louise Ogawa, and Ella Vangheem can do it, so can

Anne dairy opened so many doors for journalists and many others. They have a diary of a real end of the Holocaust in their hands. Anne accepted you can still have fun while you're in hiding. A quote from Anne Frank is ‘’You could not do this, you could not do that.
How would you feel if you were a Jew in World War II? Anne Frank was a Jew in World War II. The play we read was called the diary of Anne Frank. She said, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." According to the diary she believed in the quality in people even after hardships her family has endured. Anne Frank had to go into hiding from Hitler because he wanted to kill all of the Jews. He thought that they should not be allowed to practice their religion. Because of this, she had to go into hiding for two years. Here are some ways she showed her belief that people were good at heart. The first reason is she thought of different ways to make her family happy in the darkest of times. The second reason is Mr. Van Daan stole bread to feed himself. The third reason was she found someone to talk to even when she was trapped for two years. She was believing in everyone else as they were breaking down in fear.
Anne Frank was my age, 15, when she was murdered by Nazis during World War II. I can’t even fathom what she must have gone through in the months before her death. Through her diary, one can understand the hardships of the Jewish people in Nazi Germany occupied countries
" 'How can I join such a club?' I icily asked. 'Look at what the
Ever hear one say, “Sometimes I’m busy making others happy, that I forget to make sure I’m okay.”? After reading Barbara Ehrenreich’s Bright-Sided I have learned that balancing both positive and negative thinking is the single most important life lesson shown throughout the book. Ehrenreich tells readers that the power of positive thinking Is undermining America and how being too positive and too optimistic, can lead to trouble. One that knows how to balance the amount of positivity and negativity will create a proper outcome for their future.
Anne Frank stated in her diary that "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." As a Jewish teenager during the time of the Holocaust, Anne had been hiding in an attic with her parents and sister, as well as the Van Daans, their son, and Mr Dussel. This time was extremely rough for her entire race. This quote shows how optimistic she really was. She had the attitude to think that even underneath all of the hatred that not only the Nazis beheld, but perhaps also the people that she was hiding with for years, there was at least a small amount of good in them. With that optimism, came the strong hope that she had. She was completely aware that the Nazis were not good people, but she refused to take that as a
Having a positive outlook can be very important when being involved in a conflict or trying to solve one. This is how Anne Frank and Louise Ogawa from First Read: Dear Miss Breed got through the roughest times of their lives. They kept a positive outlook on things and tried to make the best of the worst. Just looking on the bright side, even if it feels like there isn’t one can make a huge difference. As a great thinker, such as Joyce Meyer, once said, ‘’A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances, having power over you’’. If they did not maintain a positive outlook, then who knows how they would have survived. Having a positive outlook gives you the strength to keeping going
“I Want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people even those who I’ve never met, I want to go on living even after my death!” (from a Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank). This quote has a lot of meaning because she wanted to be remembered and I am now writing and telling about her eighty one years later. Anne Frank is a hero because she was a spirited young Jewish girl that had to go into hiding at the age of thirteen.
The Holocaust was a time in which millions of people were persecuted and mistreated: people banned together and stood up against prejudice and discrimination by actively and passively opposing the Germans. Citizens that actively resisted used violence and force to directly attack the Nazis in attempt to save their life. Those that preferred, prepared to resist passively by not using physical brutality, but instead continued their daily lives out of the sight of the Nazis. In “The Diary of Anne Frank,” we see how Meip, a Dutch Citizen resisted the Germans passively, by hiding the Frank family and four other Jewish families in a secret annex above Anne’s father's business premise during World War Two. They resisted without risking anybody’s life,
The Diary of Anne Frank is about Anne Frank’s life in the Secret Annex hiding from the Nazi’s. The diary shows how the members of the Secret Annex help each other keep hope in spite of dark times.
In the events that happened during the holocaust were very graphic and very displeasing to lots of families. One of those families were Anne Frank’s family. In the research paper you are going to see what it was like for Anne Frank’s family. The general information, when and where they were hiding, and how they all died during the holocaust, will all be stated in the paper.
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl was a very distressing yet amazingly written book. Who would have thought that such a little person could have such a huge effect on the world? Anne?s father lived for many years after the war and made sure that Anne?s diary was published. Her diary was published in 1947 and was then made into a film. This diary helps people remember what Jews had to go through and hopefully reminds them of how lucky they are. By remembering, it is hoped that something like this will never happen again. This book was intriguing while incorporating many life lessons. Discrimination, unfair judgment, and racism are only a few of the many lessons that this book has to offer. With that, after reading this book, we have learned to not take the things we have for granted because in a matter of seconds, days, months, or even years, it could all be gone. As Anne said in her diary, ?In spite of everything, I still believe, people are truly good at heart?.
