New Nazi Laws In Germany

1) Who could now be defined as a "Jew"?

People couldn't only be identified as a Jew just because of their religious belief, but also anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents. It did not matter if the person was christian what mattered was if they had any bit of Jewish blood.

2) What was meant by "Aryanizing" Jewish Businesses?

What was meant by "Aryanizing" Jewish Businesses was that Jewish managers and workers were fired and then replaced by Non-Jewish germans who then bargained prices that had been fixed by Nazis.

3) How were Jews who were professionals (lawyers, doctors, etc.) restricted?

The restriction professional Jews had was that Jewish doctors were prohibited to treat non-Jews, and Jewish lawyers were not allowed to practice law.

4) What did Jewish identity cards need to include now?

Jewish identity cards needed to include a red "J" stamped on it, and Jews also needed new middle names like "Israel" for males and "Sara" for females.These type of cards helped the police identify who was a Jew and who wasn't.

5) What was the "Law of the Protection of the Hereditary Health of the German People"?

This law requires all engaged people to adquire a certifucate of fitness to marry from the heath authorities. These certificates were refused to those suffering from "hereditary illnesses" and contagious diseases and those attempting to marry in violation of the Nuremberg Laws.

Targeting The Communists And Other Social Parties

1) What are Civil Rights? What are some we have?

Civil rights are the rights of the civilian, in other words the rights you have for leaving in an specific country. Some rights we have are the right to vote and freedom of speech.

2) Why might some of Hitler's measures in abolishing personal freedoms and Civil Rights be seen by some as a positive, or necessary move?

I think that perhaps some of Hitler's measurements in abolishing personal freedoms and civil rights might have been seen as positive by some due to the fact that they were in crisis and they believed that Hitler was going to get them out of there so they wanted to stop anyone from interfering in Hitler's plan to bring them back up.

Was The Treaty of Versailles- fair or unfair?

There are many ways to look at the treaty of Versailles, but the way I see it is in a fair way. I believe that the Germans deserved their punishment after all the chaos they caused. They didn't only start the Great War but they also forced Russia on an even worse punishment just a year earlier. In my point of view, punishing Germany was a good thing, but there's also a bad side to it. Because Germany felt so humiliated and betrayed after the treaty was made, they wanted revenge which then caused WWII just twenty years later. Of course that Germany's punishment was pretty harsh but they deserved it somehow. They are guilty for being the first country to start the Great War and should take full responsibility for it.

What are the Values of the Major World Religions?

One of the values of the major religions is that most of them teach people a good and healthy way of living; they also give people a reason to live, they make them want to get to paradise or in christianity, heaven. I believe that without any religions at all people wouldn't know what path to take in life and there would be many misunderstandings and fighting in the world.

This I believe

When I first started to listen to some I Believes, I didn't really feel a connection to any. Yes, they were inspiring and some touching, but they didn't make me think, "Wow! I truly do believe in this". I finally decided to look for a totally different topic from the ones on my list. I searched for Happiness and Laughter. It sure wasn't something I deeply believed in, but I just clicked and waited for whatever was to come up. The first thing that popped out was some guy named Wayne Coyne, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I thought, "Oh well, I guess I must listen to it". The first thing he said was, "I believe that we are able to create our own happiness." Of course I was shocked to hear something that was a true belief I never thought I had deep, deep inside. So, I kept on listening; every word that man said brought back memories. It was so emotional...even though his experience wasn't similar to mine, I felt what he felt and I understood his belief. His story takes place in his car. While he was thinking of how good his life is, he spotted two people on the street, shivering. The first thing that came to his mind was, "Oh, poor people, cold on the street," but he realized they were sharing a joke and laughing. He then envied them. Yes, they were on the streets and cold, but they were joyful even though they didn't have shelter or food. He was amazed. They created their own happiness without any money or fancy possessions. I never thought the human person was able to create so much joy without even trying.

Learning Profile "C"

1. I learn best when I focus on the auditory details. I need to listen and be explained either verbally or in writing in order to learn easily. I have the ability to follow step by step visual instructions and I also feel more comfortable with visual directions.

2. I need to gestalt side. I never really look at the big picture, I'm always focusing on the details and perfection. Sometimes I just have to let go. I also have to work a lot on seeing specific details in visual information.

3. The strategies that would help me in my learning are sitting on the left side a couple roads to easily access my right ear. Art, music and freeform movement would help me find my gestalt side.

4. I would like my teachers to know I am an auditory and visual learner so I really like to see instructions and listen to what we have to do with specific information. I can't do things right if I am not explained exactly what is my task. My left eye scans from left to right so I have a difficulty reading and writing sometimes so I always have to close my eyes for a minute and give my eyes a rest.
