“The Lion and the Mouse” is a well-known fable about two animals that help each other in different life altering situations. Just like any fable, “The Lion and the Mouse” has a timeless moral lesson teaches its audience a valuable lesson that correlates with real-world situations. The ethical reasoning of this fable in particular would be using assets to reach a common need, which in turn created a friendship between the two creatures from different worlds. Just like the lesson to be learned in this small children’s book, this research paper aims to demonstrate how asset mapping has manipulated social capitalism in positive and negative ways since the World War II to current day communities, while regarding the factor of small and large …show more content…
After the Japanese attack on the American naval fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the U.S was put into the middle of World War II (The). Everyday life was altered to help build the weapons necessary to win the war (The). As men left their factory jobs to go and fight, women stepped up to work in these factories to produce war equipment, which helped aid in war efforts (1941). The asset mapping in this case would be how the people of the United States realized that there was a need for somebody to run these factories while the men were away in battle, so by using the assets of women to work in the factories compensated for the insufficient supply of workers. Eventually the war was over and these men came back from the war, and the government encouraged women to stay in the labor market (Post). The problem with this was that women were being paid lower wages than men, so eventually the women revolted and started to campaign for equal pay, which eventually resulted in the Equal Pay Act (Post). This stated that women and men are to be paid the same if they are in the same line of work (Post). Since women worked in factories to help satisfy a need while the men were away, they became more civically involved because they felt like they were becoming an important part of society. …show more content…
In the early 1930s, the worldwide economic depression had hit Germany hard enough to where millions of people were out of work (Hitler). Also, the people of Germany lacked confidence in their government because of how they were defeated in World War l (Hitler). However, Hitler, who knew how to present himself, attracted a wide following of Germans desperate for a change (Rise). The Nazis appealed to the unemployed, young people, and members of the lower middle class (Rise). Basically Hitler did his own version of asset mapping in Germany. He knew that there was a need for jobs and a restored faith in the government, so he took his assets of being a powerful and spellbinding speaker to convince people to put him as well as the Nazi Party in power if they wanted their needs to be satisfied. In the federal elections of 1930, the Nazi Party won 107 seats in the Reichstag, and the following year, it more than doubled its seats (At). This was making the people of Germany more civically involved, and having higher voter turnouts, which resulted in allowing the Nazi’s to further expand and gain power. Eventually the Nazi Party had so much control over the government that Hitler threw out democracy and replaced it with a dictatorship (At). This resulted in the government having total control over all political, economic, and cultural activities (The). By putting hand-cuffs on the citizens of
Hitler started to rise in power in Germany in a steady uphill rise where he was
Hitler was furious with Germany’s surrender in World War I, so when he got back to his home in Munich, he was determined to enter politics and become the greatest leader in German history (Smith). He spent all of his time and effort trying to become the chancellor of Germany. Once he was voted into being chancellor, he needed a way to become the leader of all of Germany. Hitler gathered power through many acts of t...
I feel the unprecedented rise of the Nazi party was partially due to the circumstances in Germany after the collapse of the Weimar Republic. Many people in Germany were living in crippling poverty and the strain of the and the country was trying to find stability after World War. Moreover, many people were still angry about the way Germany was treated by the allies in the treaty of Versailles. Hitler and his Nazis seized the opportunity and presented a united and organised front that promised to make Germany a great and powerful nation once more. By blaming Jewish people and other sections of society as for all the country’s problems Hitler united the Germans by giving them someone to blame. This lead to the youth of Germany being caught in the middle of following the Nazi cause or opposing it.
Hitler was superb at convincing people to believe everything he said. He promised the people a roast in every pot, security, and many more things. By promising the people security that meant that he would keep them all safe and that he can do a better job than anyone else. Adolf Hitler increased in support from bankers and industrialists. So, pretty much he had most of the people who had higher power on his side durning this time period. The the united States stock market crasedd in October 1929 unemployment in Germany quickly rose to over six million. This opened another window for Hitler to get more peoplewho thought that they had nothing and their life was over to side with him. President Hindenburg did not want for Hitler to become the chancellor so instead he appointed Von Pappen but, Adolf Hitler did not agree nor did the Nazi's. hitler eventually did become the chancellor on January 30th, 1933 Hitler then banned all political parties. In 1934 the president died and Adolf Hitler forced his way into power. Now that he was the president he can change anyhting that he wants.
The conditions in Germany when Hitler came into power were that the Wiemar Republic was weak, they had a democracy and after president Heindenburg died the democracy was even weaker. There was hardly any money, before the Great Depression began. Aldof Hitler promised a better life for everyone in Germany, and with his persuasive speech managed to get what he wanted, power. The treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for the First World War. The Weimar politicians did not seem to have an end to the ongoing crisis so they gave Hitler a spot in politics, his speech soon enough brought him up the hierarchy and lead to his success. The support for the Nazi party was rising every day before the Communists, the Great Depression did much of Hitler’s
On 30 January 1933, the German president, Paul von Hindenburg, selected Adolf Hitler to be the head of the government. This was very unexpected. Hitler was the leader of an extreme right-wing political party, the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party. Hitler sought to expand Germany with new territories and boundaries. Hitler also focused on rebuilding Germany’s military strength. In many speeches Hitler made, he spoke often about the value of “racial purity” and the dominance of the Aryan master race. The Nazi’s spread their racist beliefs in schools through textbooks, radios, new...
The Nazis and their rise to power comprised many steps along the way. With the help of Adolf Hitler’s mind they came to power with their political and economic strategies. Outlining the beginning of how Hitler and his party slowly gained power and took over Germany as each of his idea and his supporters helped him to rise. Hitler consequently congregated supporters of the Nazi party to make it stronger. Before the idea of legally taking over the political and economic of Germany, he planned to take over the Reichstag building with force thinking The Putsch was his way to success. ‘… the Nazi movement legally wound back the provisions of the Weimar Constitution, exerted its control over the civil service and legal systems and outlawed opposition parties.’ (Bidgood et.al 2006: 127). Since Hitler could not gain power of Germany by overtaking the Reichstag he was to do it legally by standing as the Chancellor and create authoritative orders to create his new world. In the beginning, Adolf Hitler was an unknown figure to the public, but he slowly built his own political ideas as he started doing speeches at the beer hall which was his initial point for his ideas to emerge and advance. Once Hitler thought he had enough people supporting his party, he explicit decision was to take over the Reichstag, but was to find guilty of treason. When Hitler was imprisoned, the Nazi party started to have difficulties and that is when different political ideas were emerging. After Hitler was released out of prison, he begins to regather ideas as he was given the role of chancellor. Eliminating the Reichstag and giving him all the power. The Rise of Hitler begins.
He could not do it alone and searched for help. That’s when the Nazis came into play, they loved everything he was saying about making Germany into a better country and by placing that target of the Jews that made it even more easier for him. They tried taking the government over by force and that did not work. Next Hitler ran for chancellor and he got it! He was such a good manipulator with his speaking that not to many peopled understood what he really wanted to do. They just wanted to have a better situation for their country and Hitler knew that. He knew he had to get rid of some rules and he slowly did it to the point he finally had full control. Once he was everything started going downhill. We all know how he captured most of the Jews and would kill them just to get them out. Who in their right mind would be so okay to have so many murders on their hands? A Psychopath or a serial killer would. {Search for information of serial killers and their
After the terrible causes of World War I, Germany was stuck in the ruins. They were still trying to rebuild and recover from the war. The Treaty of Versailles, along with the Great Depression severely affected Germany. The unemployment lines increased, and food was scarce. Money was a huge hassle too, the factories were all closed and the savings were completely wiped out. Due to all these economic is what made Hitler’s rise to p...
another factor possibly could be the economic collapse of germany during the great depression and the lack of support the Weimar republic showed. It was unable to deal with Germanys problems and this set Hitler in an ideal position to rise to power. The nazi party became more and more popular and by 1932 they had 230 seats in the Reichstag. Hitler's opportunity to do a political deal came about during the great depression when there was a collapse of trade and the death of stresseman. The people of germany were desperate due to the increasing rate of unemployment and the increasing political instability: they were desperate and needed a strong government.
Adolf Hitler came to power on February 28, 1933 (Rossel). He rose to power using inflammatory speeches and inspiring hope for the defeated Germans. He constructed a system to empower the German people and allow them to thrive in the period after the Great Depression (Noakes). Using keen acumen and decisive moves, he was able to turn Germany into a war machine bent on the creation of an Aryan utopian society, at the cost of all inferior races, especially the Jews ("The Period between 1933 and 1939"). At this time Germany was a defeated country. They had recently had numerous humiliating defeats in WWI, and the Germans no longer had the pride they once had celebrated (Laurita). Augmented by the fact that the Great Depression had ravaged the country and left many in a state of penury and impoverished, the Germans were desperate. As well, Germany was currently a country without any source of stability without a generally supported constitution. When Hitler promised a utopian society filled with hope and where the Germans would be exalted as the superior race, the Germans listened and obeyed his every word (Noakes). Hitler fed on the desperation and hopelessness of these German people to make a society driven by fear; this state of pity allowed Hitler to convince the Germans that he could provide a better future.
As women started working, patriarchal control of the family was upset (Faragher 400). Women were now bringing in income just like the men were and to them this was empowering. They now longer depended on a man to survive. Now that women were working many also wanted an education beyond high school. Women started going to college and with a better education were able to further increase the interest of the women 's rights movements (Knight 361). Despite these advances women still were not close to gaining equality to their male counterparts. However they did gain more control of the family’s well being.
Another key factor that played a role in Hitlers rise to power was after World War one as the treaty of Versailles took away Germanys colonies and forced them to pay 33billion dollars, to Britain and France. This debt in return completely bankrupted Germany and economically enslaved the people of Germany. Unemployment and inflation at the time was out of control. Ther German currency lost so much value that people were struggling to buy a simple loaf of bread. The reason the great depression helped Hitler was because he promised the people of Germany that he would rebuild Germany to its former self. He promised jobs which mainly came through the army, this in affect helped Hitler realise one of his other promises which was to take Revenge on those who left Germany crippled after the war. This made him and the Nazis wildly popular in Germany during the 1930s. In just a few short years,...
The instability of the newly formed Weimar Republic resulted in a weak government prone to problems, Hitler took advantage of this weakness and introduced a secure alternative.... ... middle of paper ... ... With a combination of poor leadership on the Weimar Government’s behalf, the signing of the hated Treaty of Versailles and an unattractive economic situation, Hitler, using his charismatic personality, was able to convince the majority of the public to resort to the extremist Nazi party.
Women can achieve equal pay in the workforce and stop discrimination further, by advancing the Equal Rights Act amendment through Congress. This amendment originated from some aggressive women’s rights activist who began lobbying the Act in 1923, so women could stay protected against discrimination that prevailed in the workplace. The bill passed through
