Comparing the Nazis and the Party of George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Fo
Similarities between Nazis and the Party of 1984 à The government of Nazi Germany greatly resembled the Party, the government in 1984. Both operated similarly and had similar aims. Anything either government did was an action for maintaining power. Both the Nazis and the Party maintained similar ideologies, controlled mass media, educated children in their beliefs, had a secret police force, and had forced labor camps. Both governments used each of these methods maintain power and control over the people. Nazis and the Party had very similar ideologies. Although Nazis eliminated people because of their religion (Sauer 683) and the Party eliminated people because of their anti-Party feelings (Orwell 187), they both tried to eliminate anyone who did not agree with them. This practice was essential for controlling the masses and holding on to power. Retaining power is much easier for a government when the entire population that government rules agrees with its philosophies. No one would attempt to remove the current government from power if he or she agreed with that government. Control of the media was another very effective means of controlling a population. The Nazis established a ministry of propaganda on March 13, 1933 (Sauer 678). This office controlled all media, such as books, newspapers, and films ("Modern World History: Nazi Germany"). The Ministry of Truth was an essential factor in perpetuating the beliefs of the Party and did the same as the Nazis' propaganda ministry (Orwell 39). By controlling any and all mass media, both governments more easily controlled the ideas of the people. If someone were never exposed to a certain idea or belief by the media, most likely he or she would not imagine that idea on h... ...Times 20 October 2001: Overseas News 21.

Unemployment in America
Harry Icaza POL 101 4/11/10 Professor Karras Unemployment in America Today in America unemployment is a very big issue that everyone speaks about. America has been digging itself into a modern recession ever since the collapse of banks and large institutions. All this led to bailing out banks and trying to fix the financial crisis that we got ourselves into. There are people who blame the Bush administration for the crisis that we were put into, but there are others who do not.Our new president, Barack Obama, is trying his best to put America back on track. Obamaââ¬â¢s plan is to re-play the ââ¬Å"New Dealâ⬠, in order to create jobs for people who are under unemployment. While the election was still taking place, president-elect Barack Obama saw that he was coming into office with a lot of work and hardships in the future. According to the Weekly Standard ââ¬Å"No Country for Burly Men,â⬠explains that this recession is being called a ââ¬Å"man-cessionâ⬠by many economists.Not only that, but men have lost a lot more jobs than women in 2009, as you will see on the chart. It is close to 80% of jobs that men have lost. Obamaââ¬â¢s stimulus plan offered infrastructure of the country in which it would give jobs to many men who have lost their jobs. The stimulus package consisted of jobs such as building and fixing roads, schools, and transportation. This made women around America stand up for themselves and wanted a change. They believed it was not right for Obama just to target men for jobs, but they wanted him to target women as well.Women economists actually collected 600 signatures in order for the president-elect to provide new jobs in education, healthcare, etc. ââ¬Å"At the same time, more than 1,000 feminist historians signed an open letter urging Obama not to favor a ââ¬Å"heavily male-dominated fieldâ⬠like construction,â⬠says Christina Hoff Sommers. Women tended to blame Obama a lot in this article due to the sole fact that he was only targeting men for jobs in his new stimulus plan.They spoke out for themselves and they got what they wanted. They convinced Obama too also help women get back in the workplace in order to help the economy. As you can see now the economy is running fairly well from when it use to be back in 2008. In ââ¬Å"Mandating Unemploymentâ⬠, the presidential candidate John Kerry issued that he wanted to increase the minimum wage to $7, and a lot of people went in utter shock. Many believed that if the minimum wage is raised to $7 that it would hurt all small businesses.Kerry made it very clear that every time the minimum wage was raised that it did not hurt anyone. Kerry wants more Americans that are poorer for the economy to flow better. ââ¬Å"Small employers and labor intensive-businesses, notes the National Restaurant Association, ââ¬Å"are the most impacted by mandated entry-level wage increasesâ⬠¦,â⬠says The New American. Kerry believes that the increase in the wage would help a lot of women in the workplace. Minimum wage is never a bad thing, explains the New American.It keeps bread on the table for the average family just to survive for the week or a couple of days. Many Americans put blame on Kerry due to the fact that if he wants to raise the minimum wage to $7, why canââ¬â¢t he raise to $15 or $50 an hour. People can live a little better if were to be raised a little higher. Personally, I would believe the frame of the stimulus package helping the women get jobs in education and healthcare. It sounds legit that women fought for Obama to help them out in this difficult time.

(This may not seem 100% doable but ââ¬Å"try maarne mein kya jaata hai!!â⬠) So what is the Solution? Very simple ââ¬â Put the right money in the right pocket in the right quantity in the right time, thatââ¬â¢s it! This can be achieved by using the world famous ââ¬â ââ¬Å"Art of Investmentâ⬠Investment has its own Oxford Dictionary meaning ââ¬â ââ¬Ëthe action or process of investing money for profitââ¬â¢. The question is how do we practice this art of investment and make the action work for us. In simple terms ââ¬â how do we invest, where do we invest and when do we invest? Letââ¬â¢s look out for answers to these questions: a) Where do we Invest? Answer ââ¬â Avenues for investments have seen a drastic change from yester years till date. Now we have simple formula ââ¬â ââ¬Å"zarurat jaisi, salaah waisiâ⬠. You name your objective of investment and we have a solution available as per your requirements. One may go ahead and invest in a plethora of avenues as per requirement viz. i) Traditional Debt instruments ââ¬â Bank FDs, Post Office Schemes etc. ii) Tradable Debt instruments ââ¬â Bonds & Debentures iii) Direct Equities iv) Mutual Funds v) Gold vi) Real estate etc. As per oneââ¬â¢s capability, knowledge, resources, risk & time may choose one or more avenues of investments among these.

You have enough invest lump sum; you do not have enough invest systematically in small chunks. c) When do we Invest? Answer ââ¬â Most difficult but again very simple too. A great learner has said ââ¬â ââ¬Å"You have two options ââ¬â either time the market or spend time in the market.

Whenever you think of investment donââ¬â¢t wait but invest ââ¬â lot many avenues are already available for various needs and timing. Also it has proven record that invest early always yield s better results. ââ¬Å"Papa kehte hain bada naam karega, beta hamara aisa kaam karegaâ⬠Starting investments at the early ages viz. when in college when you start receiving pocket money definitely adds up a bigger amount to your future life and helps to achieve ones goals and aspirations. Your parents would also feel PROUD.
