Jews have been persecuted since the beginning of documented time.
This religious group has been poked, prodded, exiled, and in recent
years, massacred for their religious beliefs. This racial prejudice is
called anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is the vicious weapon of
propaganda used to break down the Jews psychologically before the
armies of Germany even began to annihilate this religious group during
World War Two (“anti-semitism” 47).
The NAZI Party led in this mass murdering of the Jewish people. The
head of the NAZI Party, Adolph Hitler, proclaimed that he was not a
racist, yet killed over six million defenseless people because of their
race. Hitler also declared, redundantly, in his speeches, that he did not
desire World War Two. These are some of his last words: “It is not true
that I, or anyone else in Germany wanted a war in 1939. It was wanted
and provoked exclusively by those international statesmen who either
were of Jewish origin, or worked for Jewish interests. This led to the
merciless opposition to the universal poisoner of all peoples,
International Jewery” (Rossel 10).
As one can see, anti-Semitism could not be stopped in the era of
World War Two, because Hitler outlawed any media that wasn’t showing
hatred toward the Jews. The only radio broadcasts were his hate filled
speeches and news reports that he approved. The only programs on
television also had to be approved by Hitler or someone under him. No
newspapers were allowed to say anything that, in any way, insulted a
Nazi, or any other German. If any Jew was caught insulting a German,
they were immediately executed or tortured until death. This fear that
had been provoked by the death, starvation, and abuse of the
Holocaust, was another type of propaganda brought about by the Nazis
(Zeman 26).
Another reason that Jews were hated was jealousy. They were
believed to be God’s chosen people. Hitler took advantage of this, and
used it as another opening for propaganda. Soon, the Jews were
blamed for the death of Christ and said to have brought all of the pain
and suffering on the world. It was said that God was punishing the Jews,
and the rest of the world, for not receiving Him, and once the Jews were
gone, the Garden of Eden would thrive again. This ridiculous theory was
later declared unchristian by the Second Vatican Council (Roth 47).
Anti-Semitism was...

...s of the Jewish people.” They did not take these books to read
them, they made the people come outside and watch them burn. This
was frightening because, “Wherever they burn books, they will also, in
the end, burn helpless human beings.” That was said by Heinrich Heine,
a survivor of one of the concentration camps in Nazi Germany
(“anti-Semitism” 1).
The Holocaust--the merciless massacre of over eleven million defenseless,
innocent people, six million of which were Jewish--can be directly linked to the
hatred and racism brought about by Nazi propaganda. The people of Germany
let their minds be controlled and learned to despise the Jews. Hate is a powerful
weapon that has the power to kill without mercy (Holocaust no pagination).

Before the nineteenth century anti-Semitism was largely religious, based on the belief that the Jews were responsible for Jesus’ crucifixion. It was expressed later in the Middle Ages by persecutions and expulsions, economic restrictions and personal restrictions. After Jewish emancipation during the enlightenment, or later, religious anti-Semitism was slowly replaced in the nineteenth century by racial prejudice, stemming from the idea of Jews as a distinct race. In Germany theories of Aryan racial superiority and charges of Jewish domination in the economy and politics in addition with other anti-Jewish propaganda led to the rise of anti-Semitism. This growth in anti-Semitic belief led to Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and eventual extermination of nearly six million Jews in the holocaust of World War II.
Jews have been persecuted throughout all of history. A deep seated hatred has existed in many nations against them. Throughout history Jews could not find a resting place for long before they are thrown out of over 80 countries including England, France, Austria and Germany (Ungurean, 2015). Deicide is one of the reasons why Jews are hated. It is said that Jews are the responsible party for the killing of Jesus. The gospels describe Jews delivering Jesus to Roman authorities while demanding that he be crucified and his blood be on their children (Schiffman, n.d.). As a result Jews are held accountable for the death of Jesus and they are hated by many.
Anti-Semitism has been a plague on humanity since biblical times. According to Merriam Webster Online Dictionary, anti-Semitism is defined as “hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group.” This is one of the major themes of Philip Roth’s fictional novel The Plot Against America. In his novel, Roth creates an alternate universe where Charles A. Lindbergh, Nazi sympathizer and friend of Hitler, was picked as the republican candidate and ends up winning the presidency over the democratic candidate, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Throughout the novel, Roth shows how this theoretical change in history could have affected both the outcome of the war and the future for Jews in America, all through the eyes of a young Philip Roth and his family.
According to Chitty & Black (2014) the philosophy of nursing is defined as beliefs and values that are the bases for how we think and act in our nursing careers. Similar to a nursing philosophy, a personal philosophy includes a person’s specific beliefs and values. The purpose of this paper is to start evolving my own personal nursing philosophy that contains my own beliefs and values that I will take with me throughout my career as a registered nurse.
There are many factors which lead to the Holocaust, however anti-Semitism was the greatest cause of the conflict. Anti-Semitism is the common name for anti Jewish sentiments. During Hitler was in power, anti-Semitism was used by the Nazis too carry out the Endlosung, which means “final solution to the Jewish Question” (“The Roots of the Holocaust”). However, anti-Semitism was not something that was created by Germany. Through centuries, Jews were a persecuted people. Jews have faced heavy discrimination throughout the Middle Ages, 1800s and mid early 1900s.
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet – popularly considered by many to be the quintessential love story of all time – is a play that we are all familiar with in one way or another. Whether it be through the plethora of portrayals, adaptations and performances that exist or through your own reading of the play, chances are you have been acquainted with this tale of “tragic love” at some point in your life. Through this universal familiarity an odd occurrence can be noted, one of almost canonical reverence for the themes commonly believed to be central to the plot. The most widely believed theme of Romeo and Juliet is that of the ideal love unable to exist under the harsh social and political strains of this world. Out of this idea emerge two characters who, throughout history, have been heralded as the world’s greatest lovers and who have been set up as yardsticks against which future lovers must be measured. The tragic courtship between Romeo and Juliet has become so idealized and revered that even the Oxford English Dictionary lists this definition under the word ‘Romeo’:
Six million innocent Jews died “simply because they were Jewish” (Whitcock, 30). The author Whitlock was referring to the Holocaust in the previous quote. The Holocaust, one of the most tragic events in the world, would have not been possible with anti- Semitic beliefs. Anti-Semitism has a deep history all the way back to the beginning of the Christian era and was spread with biased Nazi propaganda (“Nazi Propaganda”). The worst part of anti-Semitism was its effects.
Romeo’s numerous rash decisions demonstrates his great impulsiveness. Romeo at first grieves over his unreciprocated love for Rosaline, but after he sees Juliet; he forgets about Rosaline entirely. His hastiness leads him to make decisions that are not intelligent or to his benefit. Shortly after meeting Juliet, he asks her to “exchange [her] faithful vow” for his ( 2.2.132). Romeo’s recklessness is evident that he does not think before he makes important decisions; prompting him to propose to Juliet just hours after their first meeting. Yet the morning before, Romeo was suffering from depression because he could never have his Rosaline. After what seems like a lifetime of loving Rosaline and promising to never love anyone but her, Romeo sees Juliet and instantaneously all his thoughts of Rosaline vanish. Romeo becomes infatuated with Juliet, with whom he exchanges less then fifty words before “falling in love.” The next morning he begs Friar L...

My nursing philosophy integrates the fundamental concepts of nursing, people, environment, health and care taking. The people are the patients encountered on a daily basis. Every patient should be informed and made aware of the existence of a healthcare problem.
Every action that a nurse will make will be for the overall wellness of the patient, based directly on the type of care that the patient desires. One nursing journal that reflects on the concepts of the nursing metaparadigm defined the person as “a framework for organizing data about the individual person as the basic focus of the nursing’s attention” (Thorne et al, 1998). The person is the center of nursing care, and the care that the patient will receive is directly based on the information that they inform to the nurse. But the person also refers to the family and the loved ones of the patient. The family is the patient’s support system but they are also the ones that will advocate for the patient and put their own sense on the care that they believe their love one deserves or needs. The patient and the patient’s family will interact with the nurse directly to ensure that the patient receives the best care
These new Jews were even more different to the average German, and it did not help matters that they brought cholera to the country in 1892. In other words, these Jews were not hated because of their actual religious beliefs and actions, but because of Germans’ unwillingness to accept diversity. This lends itself to the wider debate of racial Anti-Semitism vs. religious Anti-Semitism. Due to the phrase Anti-Semitism being coined by a ‘secular Anti-Semite’, Wilhelm Marr, it is reasonable to conclude that the rational side of Anti-Semitism was perhaps more important a factor than the irrational side was. Due to the growing popularity of Darwinism and other such scientific theories, people began to believe in the superiority of the Aryan race. The move to scientific Anti-Semitism made it even more difficult for Jews to assimilate; they could be as German as they tried, but would always be treated differently because of their ancestry. Jews could not win either way, as they were told to become more like everyone else and when they did become upstanding members of German society, they were resented for it. Ultimately, Jews were not hated for what they believed or did, but simply because they were Jews. Anti-Semitism was just a symbol of right-wing ideology and a code word for all that was hated by conservative Germans, from socialism to liberalism, and ‘hatred of
Allowing students to be self-directed learners helps feed-forward learning. Costa and Kallick (2007) believe self directed learners are “self managing, self monitoring and self- modifying”. In order to help students become self-directed learners, assessments must give students the opportunity to be active participants in their learning. My second formative assessment will be a short answer paragraph response question that allows students to drive their learning. This assessment will require students to answer writing prompt by using persuasive techniques and then reflect on their work. Reflecting on their thinking, their work and the skills that they learned helps students to become self-directed learners. The writing prompt will ask students to persuade an audience on the benefits or detriments of voting for a particular candidate. Before completing this assessment students will view the persuasive rubric outlined by the state of Texas. The expectation for how persuasive writing should be done will be set at this time. Once students have completed the short answer response, they will be asked to assess both their work and the work of a classmate using the same originally viewed rubric. Students will write four notes in the margin. Two of these notes will identify skills done well. The other two notes will identify skills that need to be improved. Both comments will be based on the descriptors in the rubric and will help student to set learning goals for themselves. Once students have reviewed classmates work, they will review their own and develop a plan to improve on their identified
But first it will explain what professionalism really means. Professionalism is not based all on appearance; it is how a person conducts themselves as a professional. For example, showing professionalism is showing up to work on time. A famous phrase that is used is “when a person is early they are on time and when a person is on time they are late.” Another way of showing professionalism is good communication skills, whether verbal or nonverbal. Let’s break this down more, communication can be spoken words, written, body language, facial expressions are a few ways to communicate. Keep in mind that when showing professionalism all of these actions must be done in a positive manner. Next thing that needs to be explained is what the word etiquette means. Etiquette is “expected behavior that shows respect, which is meant to make everyone feel comfortable“("Etiquette," 2016). For example, when arriving to work on time and greeting other employees with a simple “Good morning, how are you today”, is showing professionalism and etiquette. When showing both of these critiques it is highly possible to succeed in a career. It makes others feel comfortable to be around and work with others with the same work habits. This will also help to climb the corporate ladder or to advance higher in the career. Being open minded can also show signs of etiquette when it comes to people with different cultural backgrounds and ethics. This also can help to make the work environment to be comfortable for all employees, no matter race, gender, or nationality. For example, working as a Healthcare Administrator they will come into contact with different people and they have to show professionalism and etiquette at all times because they can make the staff members and other executive members feel uncomfortable and make the work place hard to work in. So when a person shows that
