A World Devided

Fascism: Here's a website I found about some countries like Germany and Italy changed from democratic into fascist: http://www2.ministries-online.org/thenewworldorder/aglobgov.html

Germany was a democratic country before. Hitler gained strong political by propagandas, and he also became the spiritual leader of Germans. Hitler was the belief of Germans. Later, Hitler became the sole leader of Germant, and his Nazi Party took control of the entire Germany. The Nazi Party was the only government of Germany.

The left picture, Fasces, was the symbol of imperial power in ancient Rome. It is a bundle of sticks bound together, which represented the "many bound together as one."

Communism: Here's a website talks about the rise of the Communism of China: http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/rise-of-communism-in-china-faq.htm

There were lots of people died in Boxer Rebellion in 1900. After that, Chinese were in extreme poverty. Mao Zedong helped many poor farmers, and the people hoped that someone ccould change the political parties and the whole country. Therefore, he strated Marxism and in 1921 its members established the Chinese Communist Party sucessfully. People loved him at the beginning. The communism was basically common ownership and production. Nevertheless, in Soviet communism, both them were forsaken, and only atheism and tyranny remain.

The belief of Marx is that a man's worth is the efforts he has made. If everyone has the state of equality, no one would strive hard to do better. I really agree what he said. The efforts we make are brought up by our believes of making better achievements.

Powwow

Here is a website which has a introduction about the Powwows (or Pow Wows) :
http://www.powwows.com/info/?p=47

A Powwow is a traditional meeting of different tribes of Native American people with dancing and singing. In a Powwow, the singers are the most important part. There couldn't be any dancing if there are no songs. The songs are varied. There are songs about their religion, the wars, and even their societies. During the fusion of different tribes, the words of the old songs even change into vocables with no words. The Powwows nowadays are public to watch, and the flags they carry include the US, the tribes and the Pow. The Powwow starts with the Grand Entry, which goes through the town the Powwow is in. Then the dancers starts to dance. After that, the Indians have a prayer. Then, they begin Round Dances. Their clothes are also changing as time passes, so the costumes they wear are the fashion ones of different Tribes. Then all the Indians from different tribes dances along to the beat of the drums.

And here's a video of a part of a song with a drum of Powwow I found:

Approximately ten people sat around a drum with a kind of special drumsticks, which is thin in the handle and thicker on the tip, in their right hands. They sang the song with turns of singing by one person or together while playing the drum. These songs the Indians sing remind them their old tradition and heritage.

Here is another video I found which has some Powwow dances:

There is a variety of their costumes of the dancers. Some of them has several rows of feathers on it, some of them wear clothes with different stripes of colors, and some of them wear a hat with feathers. They dance along to the beat of drums rhythmically.

The Nazi Party

Here is a website I found about the rise of the Nazi Party with timelines from 1918~1933: http://fcit.usf.edu/HOLOCAUST/TIMELINE/nazirise.HTM

It tells about the depression of economy in Germany and the unstable German government after WWI ends. Hitler joined the right-wing political party in 1919 and became the leader of it. He not only encouraged the German nation pride, but also promoted the antisemitic feelings. The Nazi Party gathers approximately 3,000 members in 1920. Hitler went to jail after the attempt at an armed overturn of local authorities. In the prison, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf which shows his radical ideas of German nationalism, antisemitism, and anti-Bolshevism. It also became the basic belief of the members of Nazi Party. He began rebuilding the Nazi Party after he had been freed from the prison. The amount of the members of the Party grows from 27,000 in 1925, to 108,000 in 1929. The Germany goverment was almost collapsing. In the elect in 1932, the Nazi Party won 37% of the vote.

In the rise of the Nazi Party, I can see the Germany's government was filled with arguments, and the economy of Germany was declinong continuously. On the other hand, the Nazi Party grew bigger and stronger during the depression. Even though Hitler went jailed for a short time, it didn't wither away. Instead, more and more people joined the Party. Finally, the Nazi Party pushed the German's government.

Here are some videos I found about the Nazi Party: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/407190/Nazi-Party

We can see there were thousands and thousands of people joined the Nazi Party. They believed in the passive leader, Adolf Hitler, could change thier lives better. They burned lots of books about Jews, and Germans hated Jewish people very much.

In another video on the right side, we can see Germans killing Jewish families, including children, women and old men and women. I think they were really, really brutal. They killed thousands of people without any feelings. Fortunately, I live in this peaceful generation and place. No wars happen around me.
