Fallen Societies of Germany, China, Sierra Leone, and the Fictional Society of Ember

There are no longer independent individuals working together, instead there are groups who compare themselves to others and believes that they are more superior. With separate groups there is a standing of hierarchy and a battle to be at the top. There is a sense of prejudice that forms which often leads to tragedies. Hitler was known for being anti-Semitic, resulting him in leading the Nazi’s in killing millions of innocent Jewish people. Hitler used his standing in society to spread propaganda against the Jews, and cause prejudice amongst ethnicities. An unnecessary divide is created between individuals when placed in groups. Hitler believed that his race was far superior to any other race, and believed that those that were not of similar kind to him were considered evil. With the identification of a group there becomes the need to be at the top. With groups there becomes a classification. The prejudice of each group comes from a focus on the differences, and discrepancy within each group. These differences begin to evolve and eventually becomes hatred and prejudice. The hatred and disdain results in conflict and war. Innocent civilians are put at risk, and innocent individuals are hated upon simply because of a group

Imagine a world where there were no problems, and everyone is happy. Few societies have not even been close to being this perfect. Great societies fail due to weak security systems, poverty, and inequality. The failed societies of Ancient Rome, Africa, and the dystopian novel Divergent by Veronica Roth, are all examples of great societies failing because of these three reasons.

Two of the most tragic and remembered events in our world’s history were the Holocaust in 1933, the Civil War and Slavery in the United States starting in 1619. Both are known today as possibly some of the worst times in US, and worldwide history. As well known as this is, the Holocaust was the “systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of over six million Jews.” The Nazi’s came into power in Germany in January of 1933, and had a strong belief that Germans were “pure” and “superior” and the Jews were “unclean” or “inferior”. Hitler’s main goal was racial purity, and the greater expansion of his network. Hitler would go far beyond the boundaries of humanity to ensure racial purity came into play. Slavery wasn’t unheard of before it came to America, in fact, it was quite common in many other parts of the world. What may have started out as just forced labor for the upper classes turned into an enormous growing economy for the colonies, and eventually Southern states. Slaves were treated solely on their masters choice, which could range from mild, to cruel and inhumane. Both of these situations/events came to forever change humanity, and bring about the realization that many

The Nazis also adopted the social Darwinist take on Darwinian evolutionary theory regarding the “survival of the fittest.” For the Nazis, survival of a race depended upon its ability to reproduce and multiply, its accumulation of land to support and feed that expanding population, and its vigilance in maintaining the purity of its gene pool, thus preserving the unique “racial” characteristics with which “nature” had equipped it for success in the struggle to survive. Since each “race” sought to expand, and since the space on the earth was finite, the struggle for survival resulted “naturally” in violent conquest and military confrontation. Hence, war even constant war was a part of nature, a part of the human condition. Hitler and the Nazi party outlined their racial enemies in clear and unequivocal terms. For Hitler and the Nazis, the Jews represented a priority enemy both within and outside Germany. Their allegedly racial and inferior genetic makeup spawned the exploitative systems of capitalism and communism. In their drive to expand, the Jews promoted and used these systems of government and state organization, including constitutions, proclamations of equal rights, and international peace, to undermine the race-consciousness of superior races like the German race and to

To what extents did Hitler’s love of racial purity go? Who was willing to meet these expectations? Where were these catastrophic results contained, if they were contained at all? The program was aptly named Lebensborn, or “fount of life”. Over 20,000 children came into the world as a result of the Lebensborn Program. The Lebensborn Program was an attempt to ensure Hitler’s Germanic empire, one of the most awful men in history headed this event, and Lebensborn spread like a virus over Europe.

purpose: Highlights the collapse of several historical societies and the factors that caused their collapse.

Great societies fail all around the world at anytime, is America in danger? How can we prevent our society from falling like others? Many past societies have fallen for various reasons, some reasons occur more than others and the three mains reasons that string through many of the societies are: political corruption, differing opinions in religion and excessive military spending. This information not only shows us information that caused powerful societies to fall but also shows what people right now can do to prevent the fail of societies today. The three main causes of the fall of great societies are political corruption, excessive military spending and differing opinions about religion.

Perfect societies, some last for a while and some don't, but all great things come to an end, and these did. Could you imagine something so put together fall in an instant? Well here you will learn about this."Perfect" societies fall for many reasons; corrupt leaders, Scarce Resources, and illnesses. Here, There are two Great societies, The City of Ember and Nazi germany, They both fell or will fall. And this is in the result of those three things.

The society can be affected because of these precarious situations. If more and more people can’t find the strength to get out of these tough situations, our society will become less diverse. A less diverse society is usually caused because the controller wants others to be like them. They want others to have the same thoughts, do the same things, and act in a similar fashion. This results in common thoughts and actions creating a less diverse society. Hitler was a master at manipulating people’s minds to get them to do what he wanted. Hitler had one plan in order to pay back the war debts of WWI. According to Anna Tollar, Hitler was able to exterminate people because of his power: “There was no one who could stop Hitler from committing these crimes because he made himself seem more superior” (Tollar n.pag.). One can not control another if they do not have authority over them. Hitler’s goal was to get thousands of people thinking on the same page. He did this by gaining power. Nobody would listen, or carry out his deeds for him without some authority. In addition, Hitler also used fear to brainwash and control his people: “Hitler saw that as an opportunity to persuade people by bringing fear into people’s lives so they would obey him” (Tollar n.pag.). Hitler became so powerful that he started using fear to control others. He established

Hey..Hey buddy, You think that your society is perfect, without any flaws or worries? Well, that's what the Romans and what Nazi Germany thought, and where are they now? Gone. That's where they are. Even in the fiction book, Ready Player One, they thought they were so tough, but not anymore. These Societies may have been powerful and wealthy, but they all suffered the same fate. Corrupt leaders, turned the society upside down. Poverty, affected the moral of the civilization, bringing it down. Wars destroyed the society, making it weak to attacks. Even the most powerful and beautiful civilizations, fall due to Corrupt leaders, Poverty, and wars.

Tainter main argument is that the collapse of societies stemmed from the failure of problem-solving institutions. That once these issues arose in the empires, the ruling factions were unable to provide solutions or relief that would provide stability and support the citizens. Furthermore, the societies collapsed they couldn’t adapt the

What is a great society? The key components to a great society are good economic values, strong government, and to make sure your citizens are happy. However, these societies have the opposite of that. These societies have bad laws and rules, citizens living in poverty, and they go through a ton of wars, but losing every single one. Leaving almost all of their soldiers dead. Minority of the societies getting treated unfairly, citizens rioting, dying, with no food, water, or even shelter for them. The reason why great societies fall is because of wars, poverty of citizens, and the bad rules and laws of these societies.

In a truly appalling collection of half-truths, lack of methodical research and racial myths, Ilaiah’s book has the dubious distinction of making Hitler’s Mein Kampf look like a literary masterpiece in comparison. Ilaiah shares much else with Hitler, notably his obsession with race and inventing racial categories where they do not even exist.

How do we deal with these social issues? We reignite the powerful and motivating ideas of national-socialist, Adolf Hitler. Unlike other leaders, he along with his ally Benito Mussolini, saw the world as it truly was; they saw it with
