Government Responsibility Paragraph

Leave a comment

The government apologized in 2008 for the residential schools. The government took it upon them selves to apologize for the outrageous behaviour we once had.  It was good to have a fresh start; on good terms. We let many people know how badly we felt and how we never want to treat people like this again. Talking about our mistakes has allowed us to learn from them and we are letting others know we never want to treat others like this again.

 

Residential schools happened many years ago and they are now closed. When the government chose to apologize for the actions that took place in Canada he was reminding us how badly things used to be. The government brought back all of those bad feelings and many had to re feel the depressing feelings that they had once felt during the residential school.

 

I agree with the government.  I believe the government was right to apologize for our past actions. The government represents Canada and Canada doesn’t want to go through something like this again. It is good to bring back our regretful feelings because it is a way for us to remember our mistakes and we can learn from our mistakes as well.

Holocaust Data

Holocaust Data

Throughout 1933 and 1945 the  three main countries that were impacted were Germany, Poland, and Austria. A lot of the people that were effected were born into the Jewish religion. There were small children that had no say but because their parents were Jewish they were thought to be less worthy by some. One thing everyone had in common was that they were innocent all they were doing was being themselves. One story that stood out to me was a boy named Harry Pauly he worked at a homosexual bar and he watched his friend get stabbed. He was then arrested as well because of his line of work. After 15 months he was freed then he was arrested again. After 8 more months he was freed and started his own theatre. Children were being killed and innocent people were being tortured. The Holocaust was awful. One question I still have about this is; who built the concentration camps? How did they determine when someone’s execution date would be?

-Many casualties occurred

Coming just two decades after the last great global conflict, the Second World War was the most widespread and deadliest war in history, involving more than 30 countries and resulting in more than 50 million military and civilian deaths (with some estimates as high as 85 million dead). Sparked by Adolf Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939, the war would drag on for six deadly years until the final Allied defeat of both Nazi Germany and Japan in 1945.

-Division of Germany into two separate states, the destruction of numerous European and Asian cities, a major realignment of political power into Western and Soviet factions, the creation of the United Nations, a strengthening of corporate power and the beginning of a period of increased prosperity in the United States.
