Topic: Can we obtain a peaceful, ordered life? Should we even bother trying? If so, how?
Adolf Hitler of Germany: Martin Luther of Germany:
Argument: No it is impossible. Argument: Yes it is possible.
Today we have two great and influential people debating an incredibly controversial topic. Adolf Hitler and Martin Luther are both German citizens during a time of conflict, however that is where the similarities end. Luther, who was born in 1483 lived in a very different world from Hither. To Luther, the conflict was focused primarily around religion and basic human rights. These conflicts resulted in small scale battles and wars. Hitler’s conflict was based on power and control. Religion was no longer the most controversial subject. This conflict, combined with modern weaponry and tactics, produced an incredibly deadly war: World War II. Luther was best known for being outspoken against the corrupt Catholic church. Hitler was best known for murdering six million Jews. Both influential people have interesting opinions to share on peace.
Argument of Martin Luther Indeed, it is possible to achieve a peaceful and orderly life. A peaceful and orderly life can be achieved by learning obedience and fear of god through Lutheranism. This life can only be rendered if some elemental requirements are fulfilled. The first of these requirements is that there must be a general, universal, feeling of happiness. Secondly, there must be a widely practiced goal that can be worked towards
What makes a great leader? Two great leaders from this century were Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr. Despite their difference in gender and race and didn 't have political experiences. Martin Luther King Jr. was an African-American, Baptist minister, who was born on January 15, 1968. He lead the civil rights movement. Eleanor Roosevelt, who was born on October 11, 1884, was an influential a First Lady. She was a great social reformer and she was a beyond educated well and came from her wealthy family as well. Both had successful leadership qualities: empathy, conceptualization, and ability to build community.
Martin Luther King, Jr. and Lyndon B. Johnson demonstrated unimaginable leadership skills in an effort to accomplish their respective agendas. Through the use of moral leadership, King would rise to become the head of the Civil Rights Movement by means of civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance. MLK began as a Baptist Minister, but after seeing the difference he could make in the world, decided to stand up for what he felt was right. Johnson, on the other hand, used political leadership in order to make a name for himself as President of the United States. LBJ was willing to do whatever it took to accomplish his goals, even if it meant going against the Southern Democrats who had elected him to political office. One of these risks
Ben was a happy child until 1945.The Nazi troops took over. Their leader was Adolf Hitler. In the middle of the war the Jews fought against the Nazi troops.
Our history and struggle has brought us to where we are now. We have been through a lot as a country to help make our nation the independent and free nation that it is today. We are where we are now because of the sacrifices that were made in the past. Many people fought and gave up their lives for the many rights that we are lucky to now have. We all owe them so much because without them, we would not be what we are today. Many people like Fredrick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, and John Brown fought for a cause that they thought was worth fighting for. No matter what it took, they kept their eye on the ball and fought for what was right. Now, I could sit here and tell you all the people who have helped shape America into the wonderful country that
We are all pretty familiar with Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr., both being significant historical figures, fighting for different ideas. During the 1700s’, Jefferson was growing up in a rich white environment and privileged to the extent where he is later classified as an American founding father. A very different background compared to the majority of the colonies’ population at that time and two distinct relations shared between them. Unlike Jefferson, Dr. King was raised by a faithful family and a religious environment while being targeted in a discriminative and racist atmosphere, resembling the expected stereotypical lifestyle of an African American male during the 1900s’. Unlike many other African Americans, King achieved the near impossible in getting as far as an education; the pressure in even attending a segregated school was overwhelming for a lot of African American individuals. Since we looked at both very distinct lifestyles, we can probably guess how and where the motives behind Jefferson’s “Declaration of Independence” and Dr. King’s I Have A Dream” came about. Comparison and contrast wise, what are the propositions Jefferson and King have for the topic of equality? Does Jefferson’s perspective on equality contradict or corroborate with Dr. Kings’? But when you really get down to it, do either ones’ perspective have similar traits to what kind of society we are living in or is it too irrational to justify?
Throughout World War II there were two dictators who stand out, Hitler and Stalin. Hitler was a dictator in Germany and brought death too many people who he did not considered pure blood. Stalin was a Soviet Union dictator, who killed many peasants. Stalin and Hitler’s history is different from each other. At one point history make them alike. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were different men, from different countries, enemies that had the same goal, and become powerful leaders of their country
Law and order is a synonym for peace; however often to obtain peace law and order must be broken. Though this is true, peace is not all encompassing. Not only can peace can be found in some parts of life and lacking in others, but peace has many types that affect each part of daily life. A Separate Peace by John Knowles explores the relationship between external and internal peace. When external societal peace is disrupted people become willing to commit a kind of suicide by breaking the rules in an effort to obtain inner peace.
The world has been plagued with the specter of anti-Semitism for many centuries. This hatred manifested itself in the frenzy of Nazism and the deaths of six million Jews, the Holocaust as it has come to be known. If someone were to reveal an eight step plan for the removal of Jews from European society, one would readily associate such a plan with Adolf Hitler. One would not, however, think also of Martin Luther, though he himself wrote an essay in 1543 entitled "Concerning the Jews and their Lies" outlining such a plan. This is not to suggest that Luther was akin to Hitler in action or deed. This does suggest that Luther, the spark of the Protestant Reformation and father of German
This is a good nonfiction picture book for older children interested in the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s. It compares the lives of Dry. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a Polish Jew who fled the Holocaust as a young man and came to the United States, where he was drawn into the civil rights movement, and became one of MLK's allies in the Jewish community. Both men were bright, articulate and charismatic, and they were both motivated by their sensitivity to injustice, which they saw plenty of in their own young lives. The book shows how people from different cultures and divergent faiths can join together for a common good, and transcend the differences that are often used to keep people apart.
Two of the most significant leaders in modern history were Martin Luther King Jr and Adolf Hitler. Although both figures left their mark on their respective nations’ political, social and economic landscape, one is revered while the other remembered with disdain and horror. This essay will compare and contrast key characteristics that were and are central to King and Hitler’s rise to prominence and memory. Some observations will be based on the speeches in the 1963 March on Washington for the former and 1953 propaganda film ‘Triumph of the Will’ for the latter’s references.
The speaker of the first speech is John F. Kennedy, 35th president of the United States. President Kennedy was instrumental in improving relations with the USSR and improving civil rights in the US. He is seen as one of the greatest presidents America has ever had.
Selbin identifies the most important part of a social revolution is the transformation of the society that is broken up into two parts consolidation and institutionalization of a country (Selbin 13). Augusto Pinochet and Fidel Castro both tried to succeed in these aspects, but both had success in areas but also failures in others. Their rise to power, reign and their political ideology separated them on a fundamental level, but they did have some similarities.
Martin Luther and John Calvin were both leaders in the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther was a monk, or priest, in the Augustinian friars’ order and his ideals were that Catholicism were corrupting the New Testament beliefs and people were saved by faith alone not by buying their way into heaven. John Calvin studied law “but in 1533 he experienced a religious crisis, as a result of which he converted from Catholicism to Protestantism. Calvin believed that God had specifically selected him to reform the church” (McKay et al., 2015, pg. 448). “The cornerstone of Calvin’s theology was his belief in the absolute sovereignty and omnipotence of God and the total weakness of humanity” (McKay et al., 2015, pg. 448).
The twentieth century was a time of new perspectives and challenging authority. Many individuals began experimenting and innovating in an attempt to change the status quo. Two famous individuals of the time period were the physicist Albert Einstein and the activist Mahatma Gandhi. At first glance, the highly logical scientist Albert Einstein and the spiritual, political activist Mahatma Gandhi do not appear to have a great deal in common, but a deeper study of their personal lives and accomplishments reveal the two are far more similar than they are different. Einstein and Gandhi were both creative individuals who revolutionized their respective domains, display the influence of childhood and the child-like mind, and could charm the masses despite difficulties in maintaining close relationships.
Throughout history, many political leaders have transcendental ideas and beliefs, such as Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela, but there are many that do not conform to transcendental ideas, such as Alexander Hamilton and Joseph Stalin. It can also be noted that those who have transcendental ideas are 20th-century thinkers and politicians while those who are not transcendentalist thinker are 18th-century politicians. People such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela had their political career after the nineteenth-century transcendentalist movement, while Alexander Hamilton had his political career prior to the movement. Joseph Stalin is different, his political philosophy he follows was created at the same time as the
