"The Israelis and Palestinians, who are deemed eternal enemies by many, both seek to claim the same piece of Holy Land for their own. A good guide that we can use here is contractarianism, or the social contract theory. By putting myself in the shoes of both Israel and Palestine, I realise they are both very similar in nature. They both seek to return to their Holy Land which, as mentioned in the Torah and in the Qur'an, is almost identical and they are also building a homeland for themselves. With such similarities, it would be easier for them to understand each others standpoint. Agreeing with Hobbes' adaptation to the Golden Rule, I feel that neither Israel nor Palestine should have taken to such violent means to intimidate or to take revenge on each other. This is especially so since their motivations are mere inclinations and cannot be held by both parties as morally or even logically right."

From the Paper
"In the history of the Second World War, Munich is a name that carries powerful connotations. It was in Munich that Adolf Hitler launched the abortive Beer-Hall Putscht, his abortive first attempt at power. A decade and a half later, in September of 1938, Hitler had been in power for six years, and Munich became the site of even a more powerfully symbolic event. Here, the Western allied powers faced their last potential decision point short of the one which would confront them with the invasion of Poland a year later.
Hitler demanded the right to occupy the Sudetenland, a region of western Czechoslovakia that had a largely German-speaking population. The Czechs were prepared to resist, but despite a fairly powerful army they lacked the means to do so entirely alone. The question was whether the Western Allies.."

From the Paper
"At first, Sophie did not know her brother had any part in the leaflets, but when she visited his room, she saw a book marked with a passage that had been reprinted in the leaflets. She grew frightened because she knew her entire family was in danger if he was caught. Three more leaflets came out in a few more days, and they were found throughout Munich, sometimes in mailboxes. Some they were found in other southern German cities, too. Then the leaflets stopped because all the students had to fight in Russia during the summer break. Sophie went home, and while she was there, she heard from a nurse that all the children in the hospital for the mentally ill were sent to concentration camps and exterminated. While Hans and Werner were fighting, they found out their father was in prison for his remarks about Hitler. They took it as a "mark of distinction" (Scholl 39). On his way home, Hans gives a Jewish prisoner a daisy and a chocolate bar, and she put the daisy in her hair after he left."

From the Paper
"During the summer of 1939 the Germans provoked several border-line conflicts and used them to increase tensions with Poland. They made Danzig their main base for coordinating provocative action. Gradually the executive committee of Danzig's government moved to Berlin. They allowed systematic violations of the city's constitution; Nazis in Danzig increasingly discriminated against Polish citizens and their government. A large amount of weapons and machinery were secretly delivered to the city. More and more "volunteers" joined Nazi gangs in Danzig."

Analysis of Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"
From the Paper
"With an already developed hatred for the Jews and belief that the Germans were the superior race, Hitler, in the midst of the World War I, had strengthened his political ideology. Disillusioned by the loss of the Germans in the war, Hitler began boldly expressing his views against anti-Semitism. As a young soldier, he was given the opportunity to share with his fellow soldiers his political thinking and beliefs as he was appointed as an educational officer for the German Army. Shirer also disclosed how Hitler's investigation of the German Workers' Party led to his becoming a member of the said party, then eventually conjoined this part with that of the National Socialism."

The Cinematic Style of Steven Spielberg, 2007.
This paper discusses Steven Spielberg's particular style as a film director.
780 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 0 sources, £ 18.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the author compares Steven Spielberg's films "Saving Private Ryan" and "Munich." The basis for the comparison is Spielberg's personal cinematic style as a director. Spielberg is able to integrate the visual setting in both films as realistic, but not necessarily for sheer visual impact. Instead, he lets the scene tell the story. Additionally, the conclusions of both films allowed the viewer to resolve the themes of the movies themselves, another trademark of Spielberg.
From the Paper
" It was easier to immediately reject Saving Private Ryan because of its category than it was to reject Munich. At least Munich was interesting. Upon hearing the titles of both films, Munich (at least in this reviewer's case) was far more intriguing than Private Ryan. This critic's automatic rejection scenario was immediately initiated upon hearing of Private Ryan, while being intrigued by hearing of Munich."

Abstract
This paper begins by providing a brief biography of Weinberg. It then discusses how, in his book, Weinberg studies relations between Germany and Russia in the early period of World War II, using largely German primary sources for his information, which includes Soviet sources that were later turned over to the Germans. It shows how Weinberg tells the story in chronological order, beginning in the period from Munich to the march on Prague.
From the Paper
"He notes that the "Munich agreement opened a new period in European diplomacy" and that what he is going to examine about the issue are the results of Munich rather than what led up to it. The immediate effect of the Munich agreement "was a general disruption of the existing order." Mussolini, Hitler, Chamberlain, and the French Prime Minister met at Munich in September 1938, and Britain and France backed down entirely from their previous position and now agreed that Germany could begin occupying the Sudetenland from October 1 in return for a guarantee that Hitler would make no more territorial demands in Europe. By 1939, Britain and France continued on the road to appeasement, though Britain was showing some strength by warning Mussolini about "the possible effects of further German aggression eastwards.""

Abstract
This paper explains that Hitler came to power in post-World War I Germany on a platform of promises to restore German pride, to undo the ?humiliation? of the Versailles treaty, restoration of the economy, and hatred of the Jews and Bolshevism. The author believes that Hitler could not rise to power without the support of the German people, who were mesmerized by his emotional speeches and his promises of restoring German ?glory'. The paper points out Hitler?s several tactical blunders that eventually led to his ultimate downfall: Dunkirk, where he ordered the halt of a German advance, and the delayed invasion of Russia.

From the Paper
"Despite their policy of appeasement towards Germany, Britain and France also were wary of Hitler?s expansionist designs and had decided that they would declare war if he invaded Poland. Hitler was skeptical about the will of western democracies to fight; and, on September 1, 1939, he decided to ?go for broke? by invading Poland against the advice of his Army that felt it was still not ready for an all out war. Britain and France promptly declared war on Germany which signaled the start of World War II."
