Cocceius Nerva, was consul [36 B.C.]; his grandfather, a man with the same name, was a fine jurist who accompanied Tiberius to Capri in [26 A.D.] (Wend).

On the onset of World War II, in 1939, began Poland’s great devastation and destruction. When the German military invaded Poland, under the command of pitiless Adolph Hitler, on September 1, 1939, Poland suffered from beginning to end. Polish people were now under the control of a fascist regime. Consequently, war stricken Poland was under Nazi control from 1939-1945. Adolph Hitler became a powerful, cruel leader of the Nazi Party (the National Socialist German Workers’ Party), Head of State

In addition, various ethnic groups have been the target of government profiling and discrimination. Most notably the Romani people, who have faced discrimination for hundreds of years and continue to do so at the hands of various Eastern and Western European governments. The many setbacks and gains towards immigration are more clearly visible when looked at on a case-by-case
George Méliès touches the scientific side of it since space was a dream of scientists of his days. He was, most likely, influenced by the scientific breakthroughs and the Industrial revolution of his times, and, in his “Trip to the Moon”, expressed the people strive to get higher in technological progress. On the other hands, although Starewicz work features cars and cameras – relatively new inventions – he emphasizes human relationships, even though he uses bugs to do so. In “The Cameraman 's Revenge”
The Gypsies By: Jan Yoors When people think of gypsies they usually think of how they are portrayed in movies and in the media, which is very negative. People are naïve about the ways and the culture of gypsies because there is not a lot of information on them since most of their tribes live in secrecy and away from the Gaje, or non-gypsies. In his introduction, Yoors wrote “This book is written as a protest against oblivion, as a cry of love for this race of strangers who have lived among us for
In his book Orientalism, Dr. Edward Said wrote about the influence of material culture – journalism, literature, art – on how people perceive the “Other”. Specifically, he focused on the way that people from the “West” view the “Orient.” He wrote, “The phenomenon of Orientalism as I study it here deals… with the internal consistency of Orientalism and its ideas about the Orient… despite or beyond any correspondence, or lack thereof, with a real “Orient” (Said 71).

933,900 Jews were annihilated during the whole process which was termed by historians as “THE HOLOCAUST”. In this process, Polish and Soviet civilians, Slavs, Romani, Soviet prisoners of war and other political, religious opponents of the Nazi were also exterminated. This sums up the total deaths to somewhere between 11 million-17 million people. Hitler came to power in 1933 with the help of his Nazi party. Hitler's anti-Jew campaign began soon afterward, with the "Nuremberg Laws" introduced in 1935
Immigration is receiving both liberal and conservative views, and has become a hot topic on the ballot. Whether or not to establish immigration reform solely lies upon the people of the United States; But not all wish to show the positive outcomes of having immigrants in the United States. Pop culture has served as propaganda for many years, whether it was a poster of Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer to be in the army or the three-minute commercial break that smashes a logo in the viewers face, propaganda

Resorting to hate crimes and discrimination has also resulted badly on Roma as well.

Holocaust? Ever wondered what it was like to walk in the shoes of a Jew themselves? To be restricted and pushed off like you were nothing? The Nuremberg Laws excluded Jews from German citizenship, which ultimately led the dehumanization of the Jewish people. To be a German citizen is to have basic power over basically every Jew, giving them the right to dehumanize them, and to be racist to them.
