The cartoon displayed the nationalist ideology of Germany and their desire to pin the blame on the people they deemed inferior or outsiders such as Jewish people. Document A, Benito Mussolini’s The Definition of Fascism written in 1932 described Fascism from the eyes of a Fascist leader. The document laid out the positives of Fascism explained that Fascism was the best government for the people. Mussolini wanted to make the Mediterranean an Italian lake and unite all Italian people. These nationalist sentiments garnered him significant support and gave rise to his fascist regime.
Its functional interdependencies are also discounted in the economic calculus. 2. Man has a right, even an obligation, to use this capital for constant self-advancement. Capitalism is an intensely maximizing culture, always seeking to get more out of the natural resources of the world than it did yesterday. The highest economic rewards go to those who have done the most to extract from nature all it can yield.
In the times of substantial death, political rivalries and staggered economies, World War I and the Great depression created long-lasting and influential effects on the world. While these repercussions affected all the countries, some suffered more than others. Moreover, the consequences led to the rise of new political governments throughout the world. After World War I and the Great Depression, some European countries turned to fascism while others stayed democratic because of strong leadership, economic standings and unemployment, and disillusionment with democracy. World War I and the Great Depression fractured many countries into separate pieces.
The Doctrine of Fascism by Benito Mussolini claims that fascism is the best form of government compared to Socialism, Liberalism, and Democracy (Document 6). This document shows that the rise of fascist ideologies was a problem that led the world from WWI to WWII because the doctrine is claiming that fascism is the best form of government. This could be seen as propaganda and promoting the idea that fascism is the best form of government. This would lead to countries having anxiety about the countries around them with fascism and would cause tension between countries. Furthermore, a political cartoon from Punch magazine made in 1920, shows a snake named the International Strife and a rabbit named the league of nations (Document 3).
The Webster dictionary defines fascism as a way of organizing a society where a government that is ruled by a dictator that controls the people. It is a very harsh form of authority. For over 125 years, Americans were used to an economic system where they kept all of their earnings, and the economy was not regulated by the government. The United States government run on free markets and free enterprise.
The Great Depression dominated the 1930s. The despair of the poor and unemployed eventually turned to hope as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt initiated the New Deal, an "alphabet soup" of programs designed to boost the economy through public works programs and other federal intervention. The failed experiment of Prohibition would end in 1934. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party came to power in Germany; Benito Mussolini 's Fascists expanded Italy 's empire, and Francisco Franco 's Falangists brought their own version of fascism to Spain. Before the decade ended, Europe would descend into war for the second time in the century.
Fascism and communism are both types of totalitarian style governments that had a great influence on the 20th century. Communism involved the emphasis on the common good by seizing private property and distributing it among the masses in order to create state-owned property, whereas fascism involved the complete rule of a dictator by forcibly suppressing the opposition with an emphasis on nationalism and sometimes racism. The most popular example of communism was the Soviet Union, but many smaller countries possessed the Soviet Union’s communist influence. The two most popular examples of fascist style governments include Hitler’s Nazism in Germany, which had an emphasis on racism, and Mussolini’s fascist state in Italy. Although many countries pursued communist style governments, fascism had a greater impact and
Fascism and the American Presidency “Fascism was a mass movement that dominated many regions like Southern, and Eastern Europe during 1919 and 1945” (Soucy). Fascism also moved throughout United States, South Africa, Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East. One of the first fascist leaders was Benito Mussolini from ancient Rome. “The fascist parties were very different but they did common characteristics like militaristic nationalism, electoral democracy, political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural society hierarchy and the rule of elites” (Soucy). One of the fascist parties was started by Adolf Hitler from Germany who was representing the National Socialism movement (Soucy).
Men want to be “free and conscious producers.” (“The German Ideology”) By impeding man’s ability to realize his true desires, capitalism incentivizes the proletariat to demand change and make it happen. According to Marx and Engels, it is people’s ability to produce not solely to meet their needs, but as an end in and of itself that makes us truly human, and people will not rest until they reach their human potential.
In 1919, Benito Mussolini described fascism as “A movement that would strike against the backwardness of the right and the destructiveness of the left.” That “Fascism sitting on the right, could also have sat on the mountain of the center… These words in any case do not have a fixed and unchanged: they do have a variable subject to location, time and spirit. We don’t give a damn about these empty terminologies and we despise those who are terrorized by these words.” Fascism came into prominence in the early 20th-century Europe. It originated in Italy during World War I.
Fascism is ideology which often uses totalitarianism and nationalism methods. The fascist leaders made people are the subject to the government, and limit the independency of the people, in order to gain the better for the nation. This is somehow similar to absolutism of western Europe during 17th and 18th century. Absolutism had given the monarch absolute power to rule over people, while fascism had given the leader and the nation the power to rule over the people of the state. Moreover, fascism had denied the democratic parliament system, and had only allowed the “elite” to rule over the country.
Have you ever heard the saying that Fascism and Communism are two sides of the same coin? These ideologies flourished during the first half of the 20th century and influenced several European states which followed the two ideologies. Fascism was imposed in order to promote powerful and permanent nationalism within a totalitarian state led by a dictator which is ready to engage in conflict internally and with its neighbors. The doctrine of Fascism was drafted in 1919 by Giovanni Gentile and adopted by Mussolini (Mussolini is considered the founder of fascism). Gentile stated, “Everything for the state; nothing against the state” (Heywood, Politics 48).
The practice of capitalism allowed for many opportunities and lend to the establishment of companies resulting in an increase in standard of living for the economy. Capitalism is an economic system which is established on the ideals of private ownership, economic freedom, and fair competition. (McGowen, 2013)
Capitalism is understood to be the “economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.” In modern society, capitalism has become the dominant economic system and has become so integrated that it has resulted in a change in the relationships individuals have with other members of society and the materials within society. As a society, we have become alienated from other members of society and the materials that have become necessary to regulate ourselves within it, often materials that we ourselves, play a role in producing. Capitalism has resulted in a re-organization of societies, a more specialized and highly segmented division of labour one which maintains the status quo in society by alienating the individual. Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim theorize on how power is embodied within society and how it affects the individuals of society.
Higher Education has many issues within its walls. Higher Education is the study of a more advanced education after high school. The issues that Higher Education is facing range from harm to the type of people found inside of the classroom. Children have been encouraged to go to college since they were little, but arising problems could change this. I wanted to know more about the problems that Higher Education has been facing in current times, so I did some research.
