The westward expansion of slavery was one of the most dynamic economic and social processes going on in this country. The Industrial Revolution had changed every aspect of American life and the country’s borders spread westward with the addition of the Mexican Cession—opening new cotton fields. To maintain the original Constitutional balance of lawmaking power, Congress continued to play the compromise game in 1820 and 1850 to maintain an equal number of free and slave votes in the Senate (where every state had two votes).

Although the film is based on a true story, it does get pampered with some Hollywood treatment to highlight Schindler's hero

Natural God-given talent can only get an athlete so far. At some point they will need to realize that hard work will take them much further than talent ever could taking them. When an athlete trains during the off-season by lifting weights it helps him or her become physically ready for the season ahead. Without pre- training, showing up on the day of tryouts and hoping to be great and being able to do well is a horrible idea. A weight-lifting program is essential for any athlete to achieve top performance.

Families were taken out of their homes and put into ghettos, which were large prison type establishments that housed dozens of people in one small apartment. They were then separated from their families, "men to the left and women to the right", and were placed in concentration camps, where most of them were killed and cremated. In 1993, Steven Spielberg directed a film, Schindler’s List, which depicted the life of one man who risked his life and money to save the few Jewish families he could.

Schindler's List is one of the most powerful movies of all time. It presents the indelible true story of enigmatic German businessman Oskar Schindler who becomes an unlikely saviour of more than 1100 Jews amid the barbaric Nazi reign. A German Catholic war profiteer, Schindler moved to Krakow in 1939 when Germany overran Poland. There he opens an enamelware factory that, on the advice of his Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern, was staffed by Jews from the nearby forced labour camp at Plaszow. Schindler's factory prospered though his contacts with the Nazi war machine and its local representatives, as well as his deft skill on the black market. Then, somewhere along the way, Schindler's devotion to self-interest was

Power, such a valuable thing that can easily be abused, but what exactly is power? Power is control, an unbreakable force obtained through higher authority, or at least that is what the dictionary states. However, is it really power if one fears the corruption of power? Imagine being crammed in a dingy barrack housed with imprisoned groups of men and women living in wretched conditions, praying for liberation. Moreover, being treated like an animal, deprived of food, beaten, and even stripped of your dignity and identity based on your religious beliefs and culture. Unfortunately, those were the living circumstances of Jews during the years of 1933 to 1945 due to the event of the Holocaust which killed approximately 6 million Jews.

     I think the director did a great job in filming this movie. He didn’t take any credit for his achievement but I believe he honored and remembered the victims of the holocaust. One of the most important lines of this film that really impacted me was “who will be our next executioners?” The reason why I loved this line is because we make little things so trivial and we take everything for granted. Our liberties are a blessing and yet people don’t seem to realize this. I believe that only when we are faced with a natural catastrophe that will put humanity’s survival at risk and we lose everything that will be the day that we will have gained all.
