What I Saw: Reports from Berlin, by Joseph Roth is a book of letters or rather essays that holds recordings of lethal and brutal events taken in Germany. Roth was an Austrian writer. His style and form of writing revealed his political and psychological complexity of his thoughts of such country. He writes with precision and reaches a wide spectrum of bitterness to irony, from happy to sad. His writing leads you to his views and observations over the years of passed over and pushed aside people and places. Throughout the paper, I will argue such considered events that took place in Germany, in the city of Berlin. Such as, the important forces that have brought various people to the city of Berlin, as well as how the people have immersed in poverty. This paper will also answer the question of how these individuals and groups think about the society, economy and community of Berlin and Germany.

Cultures using hyphenated forms of “American,” such as Mexican-American, African-American, Asian-American, Native-American and many more is a step in the right direction for culture acceptance. With this positive move in the world, there could be a change in how cultures view themselves, leading to how others view them. The multicultural society has to take into account for this change because without their acceptance it would just be hate. Bharati Mukherjee in her essay “American Dreamer,” asserts, “WE MUST BE ALERT TO THE DANGERS OF AN ‘US’ vs. ‘THEM’ MENTALITY.” Although Mukherjee has a great point here, I have to disagree. I don’t feel that we have to be aware of the ‘US’ versus ‘THEM’ mentality with the change in cultural acceptance.

As Germany invaded France, it relieved the former government and the Vichy Regime of its control of the food supply and duties of caring for the ‘well-being’ of the people. However, Nazi Germany’s first priority was the health of its fatherland and its troops that required a vast and constant source of food. France was forcibly cut off from its old trading partners and her imports contracted rapidly. This left only meager supplies to the French people that was carefully controlled through the German rationing system. By 1944, Domestic agriculture outputs was 40 percent lower than the average 1930s yields. They seized the best animals and a large majority of hay leaving on the undernourished for the French farmers and their markets. This was a complete culture turnabout and shock when compared to the relative abundance of food in prewar France. One where, not only, was there enough but there were unessential delicacies from chocolate to wine to expensive

In document 1, the picture shows different countries represented by little people. In this picture they are all in a school yard, which represents the U.S. , and they are all out of control. You see the filipinos represented by the monkey looking child, you can also see china and other countries. What this picture wants to show is that the countries are acting like little children in the way that they cannot govern themselves while the U.S. is the woman taking care of them. The United States believed that these countries need help in government so they wanted to step in and “help”.

The victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2011 accept the president’s policy. Granting equal liberties also shows good will in changing this situation.

The basic explanation of what this compromise was, is basically a package of 5 different bills that the United states Congress passed in 1850. That is not all though, for it is rather more complicated than just being 5 different bills. to further understand the compromise, you need to think back to the slave and free states of our country at this time.

Early English settlers who sailed on the Arbella set a precedent that would affect the actions and history of the United States in the future. According to The Wordy Shipmates author Sarah Vowell, those colonists began the way the United States would be unique and not conform to what other countries do and this is shown in the actions the United States has taken throughout its history. Instead of conforming, most of the goals of the United States have been to allow other nations to conform to the United States’ image. Yet, those colonists who were being sent off with John Cotton’s speech questioned their decision to leave England in case there was some reason England would need their religious influence. There is no reason why their home

The United States of America has a notoriety for being a reference point of liberty and diversity from the colonial period of it 's history. From the earliest starting point, notwithstanding, American liberties were attached to a blend of religious and ethnic affiliations that special a few tenants of North America over others. Although European thoughts of liberty set the tone for what was conceivable, those freedoms looked to some degree changed in pioneer North America, where indigenous and African people groups and societies likewise had some impact. The outcome was more noteworthy opportunity for a few and phenomenal subjection and dispossession for others, making pioneer America a public of more prominent assorted qualities for

“The United States we stand at this moment at the summit of this world” –Winston Churchill. 1940 was the last year before the United States fully engaged themselves into the war. At this time the US was dealing with its 11th year of the depression. 1/7th of the population was unemployed at this time. This meant that nearly 14% of the workforce was unemployed in 1940 compared to the average of 17% in 1930. During this time the federal government did not maintain a poverty line but if they did, 45% of white households and 90% of African American households would be in poverty. The middle class was about 1/3rd of the population. This is when the country went to war. December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked.

The United States continues to be in the spotlight, especially during an election year and specifically when it comes to immigration. Most recently I was intrigued by an article I read, titled “ Article“that talked about the unprecedented number of unaccompanied children crossing our U.S. Borders illegally. What began as an intriguing subject that sparked my interest evolved into a desire to expand my knowledge on the subject of immigration, particularly these unaccompanied children crossing our borders? The article for all intent and purposes shed some light on the subject matter by providing numbers and statistics, however; it also left me with a plethora of unanswered questions regarding the livelihood of these lost children of our borders. What this article failed to mention is, what would prompt families to send their children, some as young as toddlers to an unknown country where the risk for their welfare is a precarious one at best and the barriers of language alone are substantial. Where are these children coming from and what transpires once they reach U.S. territory? Are they returned to their respective countries and what factors determine whether they are deported or are permitted to remain in the United States? Who assumes responsibility for these children, is there a final destination or perhaps, the hope relies upon that our system will locate a family member in the U.S. that would succumb to their rescue. The bigger question is what is the United States

The United States has always been the land of the free, a quality that attracted many immigrants in search of a new life. As a result, the U.S is one of the most heterogeneous countries in the world. Today, three hundred and eleven languages are spoken in the U.S (Rhein, 2007). While the U.S has no official language, English is the most commonly spoken language in the country. Ever since the 1980’s, there has been a phenomenon known as the English-Only Movement, which is driven by those who believe English should be made the official language of the U.S. This phenomenon began in the 1980’s when Americans started to fear that immigrant languages would take over English (Crawford, 1998). For the past three decades, this movement has continued to have an impact in the U.S. Some of the common justifications for making English the official language is that it would make America more unified and it would improve the lives of immigrants (Brice, 2014). Another common justification is that it would save the federal government billions of dollars. The government spends large amounts of money every year to keep multilingualism alive, and it is in turn hurting the economy. Multilingualism has also had a major effect on the grades of school children who do not speak fluent English. Since the 1980’s, many governments have made efforts to reduce multilingualism. In order to improve the lives of immigrants, the economy and the grades of students in the U.S, English should be

The United States of America was sought out by immigrants as a place of freedom and refuge. Throughout America 's short history, people from all over the world looked to America as a land of opportunity. Immigrants from Eastern European countries such as Poland, Lithuania, and Hungary poured into the United States in the mid 19th century. The large amount of immigration from Eastern European countries to the United States between 1919 and 1924 was due not only to the opportunities of work and freedom in America, but also to the hardships experienced in their home countries.

The goals of the program are to provide capital or income for people, feeding families and providing fresh produce based on organic gardening and micro-farming projects. According to Smalls the unemployment rate in South Africa is around 25%, which is significantly higher compared to the United States unemployment of 5.4%.
