Abstract
The paper discusses the history of the problem of integrating immigrant students in Germany. The paper examines allegations of teacher racism against foreign students. The paper explores possible solutions to this issue and concludes that the main problem is the fact that the school system places its students on university or trade school tracts at a very young age. The paper contends that the age should be raised and those younger years should be used to help immigrant students acclimate to the German language and culture.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Recently, a report was released that examined the disparity in academic achievement between first and second generation immigrant students and found that those who have been in German schools their entire school careers, but were born to immigrant parents, have a 93 point lower average score than those who were born to German parents. This statistical information is a significant concern to German officials as the students are all being educated in the same manner for the same number of years with little evidence as to what might be causing the disparity."
"It is important for officials to determine what may cause such a difference in academic achievement as there are many immigrant families living and working in Germany."

Abstract
This paper studies the phenomenon of Turkish immigration to Germany, which began in the 1960s. The paper explains that the Turks were originally allowed to immigrate as guest workers, with the intention that their presence was transient. However, the Turks stayed and today make up 4 percent of Germany's population. This paper assesses the impact of the Turks on Germany society and the success -- or failure -- of the Turkish community to be absorbed into German society. The author focuses in particular on youth and education issues for the community.
From the Paper
"There are 1.8 million Turks in Germany, 139,000 of them in Berlin alone, making them the largest group of foreign workers. The second most commonly spoken language in Germany isn't French, Spanish or even English. It is Turkish, the language of the 2.5 million ethnic Turks who live and work in Germany as a postwar legacy of its guest-worker program. The first workers often brought their families with them. In 1973 after the oil crisis, recruitment stopped, and many did go home to Turkey. But, despite some returning and no more guest works being hired, the continued flow of family members from Turkey and a high birth rate has kept the population of Turks in Germany high. But, they are Turks, and will always be regarded as outsiders by Germans. Despite every effort by children of immigrants who were born in Germany, attend German schools and speak only German, they are still second-class citizens with few good job prospects. It really is Germany's fault that this situation exists."

Abstract
This paper explains the new reality for immigrant population groups in European countries. It looks at how the European Union's open-door policy has allowed for freer movement of immigrant group throughout the continent and discusses how this affects demographics and socialization of these groups. This paper focuses on the Turkish community in Germany.
From the Paper
"The ebb and flow of people across borders has been always been a concern for nation-states and with the creation of the European Union this concern has not stopped or ceased but rather intensified within the community. As nationalism disappears in the wake of European integration replacing it will be a European identity yet to be defined. How these communities have integrated their new neighbors as well as the government's response to the increased social and economic strain is an indicator of times to come."

Abstract
This paper examines Germany's economic and political development throughout the world wars and up until the twenty first century. The paper explains that what was formerly West Germany, now part of the re-unified Germany, achieved a major period of development after World War II to become the economic powerhouse in Europe. The paper looks at how after the first World War, the victorious Allies sought both to punish Germany and to assure that Germany would not be able to attack her neighbors again. The effort failed and, in fact, backfired giving Germany more reason to try to reassert her power. The paper points out that after World War II, the victors handled the situation differently, dividing Germany in two and imposing various means of monitoring the situation. The paper then discusses how Germany remained divided until the fall of the Soviet Union, after which East and West Germany re-united. In conclusion, the paper shows that the nation clearly made a major shift after World War II and continues to benefit from that shift to this day.

From the Paper
"At the end of World War I, curtailing German power and punishing her for her transgressions was coupled with direct efforts to eliminate the German problem. The war had taken its toll on Germany, which is why the other European powers were able to force her to sue for peace. World War I was seen as the triumph of Western liberalism represented by the British, American, and French traditions, over the German Bismarckian tradition. The changing of the borders of Germany and the accompanying creation of new national states that also adopted the liberal traditions showed which tradition had won."

Abstract
The unification of former East Germany and former West Germany back into the singular Germany as it was prior to World War II in 1989 is commonly cited as a text book scenario of healing ideological and economic divisions between rival states. It also is quoted often as model of reunification for North and South Korea to follow in their eventual reunification as well. Yet, how difficult was the execution of the reunification of East and West Germany? This paper presents a brief examination of each countries' economy prior to reunification, as it reveals much regarding the hurdles that had to be overcome regarding the recombination of German society within the framework of a homogeneous political and economic paradigm.

Abstract
This paper looks at Nazi Germany's attempts at the economic recovery of the nation. Hitler's priorities concerning the economic recovery of Germany, programs initiated by Nazi Germany to stimulate the economy, and the principles of Hitler's four-year plan are discussed in this paper.
From the Paper
"In the early 1930?s, Germany was plagued by unemployment and stagnant growth despite efforts by the administration to alleviate the country?s economic difficulties. The economic liberalization of the banking system was one of few cautionary steps taken by administrations prior to Hitler to boost Germany?s failing industries. This all changed following the Nazi rise to power; two notable banking acts passed in 1934 and 1936 effectively converted the banking system into Hitler?s personal lender, allowing him to replace commercial borrowing with the various savings institutes that would allow him to re-build the German army. In this period, wages were frozen and the armaments business boomed, while individuals suffered as wages were frozen at their pre-Hitler-era rate. Meanwhile, the government was able to continue to borrow money from Germany?s savings banks to contribute to the building of the military."

Abstract
This paper explains that despite strong laws against religious discrimination in its new constitution, there is still wide spread religious intolerance in Germany, which again was acerbated with the reunification because, although Western Germany's population had been carefully reeducated against Nazism, Eastern Germany's population has not had the same experience. The author points out that Germany's problems with religious persecution did not begin with Hitler and the Nazis, they go as far back as Charlemagne, King of the Franks, a Germanic tribe, creator of the first European central government in the Middle Ages, who was inhospitable not only with the Jews but also with the pagan Saxons, another Germanic tribe. The paper relates that the Christian anti-Semitism of Martin Luther, which was part of the tradition of Medieval Christian anti-Semitism, laid the social and cultural basis for modern anti-Semitism, although modern anti-Semitism was based on the pseudo-scientific notions of race.

From the Paper
"The Capitulary went on to make any practice of this earlier religion not only a sin against the Church but also a crime against the State. The Capitulary stated that if any one shall have formed a conspiracy with the pagans against the Christians, or shall have wished to join with them in opposition to the Christians, let him be punished by death. It went to demand that whoever shall have consented to this same fraudulently against the king and the Christian people, let him be punished by death. Finally, the Capitulary decreed that if any one shall have shown himself unfaithful to the lord king; let him be punished with a capital sentence.
Charlemagne eradicated any open pagan practices in Medieval Europe; he also had many recalcitrant practitioners of the pagan religion killed for not converting to Christianity and paying their tithes."

Germany?s Environmental Policy after Reunification, 2004.
This paper is evaluates the integration and achievements of Germany?s environmental policy after reunification.

Abstract
This paper explains that, many years ago, the development of a systematic environmental policy began in Germany; but the reunification of the two German states (Federal Republic of Germany and German Democratic Republic), in 1990 created a great new challenge for German environmental policy because of the extensive environmental damage in the former GDR and because of the major economic crisis that started during this time. The author points out that the most remarkable result of increased environmental awareness was the development of an ?eco-industry,? a new manufacturing sector that develops pollution-control devices and other environmentally useful equipment. The paper concludes that the constantly changing world of politics requires innovative strategies to keep up with these changes; therefore, all available economic resources, environmental group leadership, and public environmental support, including the Green Party, should combine to overcome the obstacles created by potential economic and environmental tradeoffs.

From the Paper
"Regulations and government actions to protect nature and human beings against environmentally hazardous activities of commercial and industrial firms have a long history in Germany. Environmental protection is anchored in private and public law, including building, public health and sanitation, and police laws. The Water Rights Act and the Factories Act set the standard for many subsequent laws. The various regulations created to prevent offensive emissions from becoming a nuisance to health and property were systematized and concentrated for the first time in the Prussian Industrial Statute of 1845."

From the Paper
"However, Germany managed to make a comeback in 2006 due to implementing a series of labor market reforms. These reforms started to be implemented during the former government that was ruled by Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. The implementation of these reforms continues during the current government ruled by Chancellor Angela Merkel, but they are supported by other reforms of measures initiated recently. As a consequence, 2006 brought a reduced budget deficit within the European Union's 3% debt limit. Unemployment was reduced to 7%. The overall economic growth in 2006 was of 2.2%."

"Statement of Purpose
The following paper will examine some of the ethnocultural determinants surrounding the treatment of Turks in present-day Germany. Determinants of ethnocultural identity such as race, religion, class, and power, as well as causal factors of inter-ethnic conflict such as state repression, economic inequality/class conflict,migration/expulsion, and fear of persecution/extermination will all be examined. It will be shown that the formation of a collective consciousness, specifically one aimed at uniting all of the European Community, would better determine the identities of future generations."

From the Paper
"Germany
The Federal Republic of Germany has carried its educational system over into the newly-unified Germany. The traditional educational system in Germany was developed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and codified by the Weimar Republic in the early decades of this century. The Nazis altered the traditional structure to suit their own concepts. Educational reform followed the war, and attempts were made in 1953 to make the educational system more uniform throughout the L?nder. More sweeping reforms were instituted in the 1970s. However, each of the L?nder (divisions of the country similar to counties) is largely autonomous in education, making it impossible to gain a consensus regarding uniformity for the school system."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that, after its foundation in New Mexico in 1975, Microsoft opened branches in France and Germany in 1983. The writer points out that the branch in Germany became one of the most prosperous centers upon which Microsoft relies. The writer maintains that the interaction between the American corporation and the German culture was considered to be a prolific one due to its results in the public sector, charity actions or employment politics. The writer then looks at the effects on Germany by the Microsoft company. The writer concludes that no one can deny Microsoft's positive impact on Germany, but claims that this must not be used as a screen for its reprobatory actions that should be made public by the mass-media according to their gravity.
From the Paper
"First of all, one could mention the significant role that Microsoft played in the German Government's attempt to modernize public administration. The company exchanged expertise with the German Federal Ministry of the Interior for increasing IT security and took part in the SAGA expert circle within the institution for bringing e-Government applications to a superior stage. Moreover, at a state level, it helped Niedersachsen's judiciary to develop specialized court procedures and to enhance its relationship with citizens, companies and authorities by implementing the concept of e-Justice and a hotline allowing to receive external calls and to make public announcement of insolvency proceedings."

Abstract
The women of Nazi Germany played an important role in the assimilation of fascist ideology. This paper discusses how, while the world outside of Germany perceives the Third Reich in a negative way, Jill Stephenson provides insight on the female role in Nazi Germany in her book "Women in Nazi Germany". It looks at how the book details the inner workings of family life, the benefits of assimilating to Hitler's laws and the role of leadership that women played during Hitler's reign. It also examines how the book demonstrates the power of propaganda, and also depicts a gender defined society that was not perceived as a disparity, but rather empowered men and women to perform their roles for the preservation of national socialism and the Nazi regime.
From the Paper
"The Third Reich championed the traits of the female, noting that the woman was the primary caretaker of children and the holder of developing a strong Nazi population (Stephenson 6). Nazi Germany touted procreation in order to fill up the ranks of the German military and to provide new generations to learn in Hitler-based schooling systems. There was no limitation to birthing, and any form of birth control was illegal. The leaders of Nazi Germany wanted to ensure healthy Aryan children were integrated and educated properly. Unhealthy children were admonished and not considered an integral unit in Nazi society. "
