Holocaust Thinking Question

I think that it changed into such a society when they started emphasizing about their racial purity and being proud of being German. It later degenerated into maintaining the purity of the Germans and evolved into a full-blown Genocide against “racial impurities”. Racism and violence toward people that weren’t of pure German came but nothing major was done until Hitler and the Nazis came into power and started doing things. People that weren’t racist to others that weren’t German were fed propaganda until most were believing that they had to preserve their race purity and those that weren’t, were treated with force when Hitler came to power.

Famous Canadians

Nellie McClung


Nellie McClung was a woman who involved herself in politics and argued for the rights of women everywhere. She helped defeat the Premier Roblin and his conservative government and the new liberal government gave the vote to women in 1916. In the end Manitoba women were allowed to vote and it eventually spread throughout Canada. She involved herself in the “persons” case about if women could enter the Canadian senate. The “persons” case was about if women were persons when the law said they must be a person to enter the senate. The supreme court of Canada ruled that persons were meaning men only but the judicial committee ruled that women were persons too in 1929. Therefore women were granted the right to enter the senate.
She also fought for many right of women like public health care, free medical and dental care for children, property laws for married women and more. She started involving herself in women’s rights from 1884 and dedicated herself to it until she died. This was important so that women were equal to men.

Media Question

I agree, since good or bad is easily distinguishable but choices which result in equal merit but different endings are much harder to make. Differing outcomes that have equal merit are hard to make choices since you do not know which choice would provide the better act. Since they have equal merit you have to consider the outcome and how it would affect other things. You must also consider the process the choice would take you and how it would also affect others.
