Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

In class we have seen a film called The Right Stuff. It was a movie about the Cold War between the United States and The Soviet Union. The movie started when the Americans wanted to brake the sound barrier and had succeed. The Americans thought their were all that because they broke the sound barrier and know body didn't yet. Until later on the Russians launched the first satellite into space. The Americans were shocked when they heard this, so they retaliated back by sending a monkey into space. The Americans were laugh at but they succeeded in sending some thing in place, but the russians camed back at them and send a human into space. This place the Americans back into second place in the space race. Overall the Americans and the Soviet Union were at a race in building/creating new industrial materials to overcome everyone.

NATO and The Warsaw Pact

After World War Two, another war have started which was the Cold War. It was a war about spreading communism and the Americans didn't not what that to occur. The Americans and Soviet Union were against each other in this war. The Americans then created an alliance called NATO "North Atlantic Treaty Organization"; this organization is applied with the United States and certain European countries who do not want to spread communism. Then the Soviet Union created their own allience which was called The Warsaw Pact; this allience was made up of countries who do want to spread communism around the world. These alliences were created to find which counties wanted communism and which didn't. The Americans believed that if communism started to spread everyone would want to change them selves into communists, which wasn't good.

Film Lesson: Schindler's List

The Film Schindler's List was a very intresting film explain how the jews were treated during the holocaust. I believe that the Nazi party had twisted minds thinking they can wipe out an entire race of people and get away with it. The way they treated them was not normal at all, placing them in concentration camps treating them like nothing was just nasty in my opinion. Overall just killing them for no reason at all dosn't make any sence at all.

Film Lesson: Night and Fog

The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles was the document that ended World War One on June 28, 1919. Overall in this document it says that Germany was the blame to this war; so they have to pay for the damages to the war. Umm in my opinion its like half fair and half not. The fair part is that Germany did start the war and lost so they do have to face concenquences. The unfair part is that they have to pay for everything that was done between the war, which leaves them with nothing at the end. Some historians say that the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler. I do believe this statement because the people of Germany were down and need someone to bring them back up and Adolph Hitler convinced them, that he will.

Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal was the leader of Turkey after the Muslim empire have fell due to loss in the war. Even though the Muslim empire have been separate they still stuck to their rules and regulations. The separated countries have followed religious rules. Mustafa Kemal wanted to changed that. He wanted to get out of the stone age and be in with the new age. He wanted to be how the European people were, with there clothes, style and how they act. He believe that the style people are wearing before was not modern, so certain clothing was illegal to wear like a veil.

Film Lession :Gandhi

From the movie "Gandi" Gandi showed many ways to help his people get independence from Great Britian. For one, Gandi told the people to make their own clothing; he told them that he spin his own clothes everyday before he does anything. Next he said to never fight back with the Police, "violence with violence will not solve anything". If they start with you and you don't fight back then it would show who the bad people are. Gandi took a large group of people to march to the Ocean and get Salt Water. Thus when they evaporate the water they get salt to use. They did this to not to buy anything the British made or sold. With hard work and the help of Gandhi; India have recieve Indepencence from Great Britian.

I believe that India waited a certain time to fight away from Great Britian, because during that certain time (1947) Great Britian was in an economic breakdown.
