[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. When comparing the political and social impact of Adolph Hitler, Pius IX, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-Shek, one can easily distinguish the line that exists between and among these varied leaders. To compare Hitler to Gandhi is to place a lion and a lamb in the same confined space and watch to see who comes out the victor. Pius IX, as well, represents misdirected authority, while Kai-Shek stands firm in an autocratic society. Churchill's political and social contributions lean toward the quest for complete abolition of tyrannical rule, with Hitler at the top of his list. The writer discusses how the impact each man has had upon the world as a whole has been nothing short of significant. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

[ send me this paper ]

Uses the book, The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi to describe the effects that violence inflicted by the Nazis in the Jewish concentration camps had on Levi and on the language of the time. Emphasizes the continuing moral degradation of our language and points out that the term 'Musselmanner', which became Auschwitz slang for those close to death from starvation and privation in the concentration camps means more than just the physical appearance, it means the loss of will. Concludes that the mass production of Musselmanner, the moral and ethical starvation we are experiencing on an ever-increasing basis, has resulted in the destruction of life and language.
