Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was born on March 11, 1936 in Trenton, New Jersey to a Sicilian immigrant father and an Italian-American mother and was raised in Queens. He attended Catholic schools in New York City as a child and teen. Scalia then attended Georgetown University, spending his junior year at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, and graduated at the top of his class with an A.B. (Sorry, I don’t know what that means) in 1957. He also attended Harvard, serving as the editor for Law Review. Scalia graduated from Harvard in 1960. On September 10, 1960, Scalia married Maureen McCarthy, and the two went to go live in Cleveland, Ohio. While in Cleveland, Scalia was admitted to the Ohio Bar and worked for the law firm of Jones, Day, Cockley, and Reavis until 1967. The Scalias then moved to Virginia, and he was admitted to the Virginia Bar in 1970. While In Virginia, Scalia taught law at the Virginia Law School until 1974. In 1971, Scalia became General Counsel of the Office of Telecommunications Policy for the White House, and from 1972 to 1974, he was the chairman of the Administrative Conference of the US. Scalia was then appointed the assistant attorney general of the Office of Legal Counsel for the Department of Justice. In 1977, Scalia returned to teaching after 6 months serving as the resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in DC. Him and his family picked up and moved again to Chicago, Illinois. While In Chicago, Scalia taught at the University of Chicago’s law school (he was also a visiting professor of law at his alma mater, Georgetown University, and also at Stanford University during that time) until President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in 1982. Scalia took his oath of office on August 17 of that year. Four years after Scalia began working at the Court of Appeals, President Reagan then chose him to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court. The Senate confirmed Reagan’s appointment on September 17, and Scalia took his oath of office on the 26th of that month. In the year 2000, Scalia has made decisions in two Supreme Court cases, Troxel vs. Granville and California Democratic Party vs. Jones. I will discuss the Troxel vs. Granville case. Troxel vs. Granville is in violation of "The Washington Rev.
In Francis N. Stites' book, John Marshall, Defender of the Constitution, he tells the story of John Marshall's life by breaking up his life into different roles such as a Virginian, Lawyer, Federalist, National Hero, and as Chief of Justice.
During his early life, John Roberts was the ideal student by displaying hard work and dedication in all of his studies and also participating in school sports such as wrestling and football where he was given the honor to be captain of the team. He was also very successful in college after graduating from Harvard College and Harvard Law both with honors. Many can find the present Chief of Justice as admirable considering all of his successes in college and how it is understandable that someone with that type of background deserves a position in the supreme court.
Hitler’s meteoric rise to power came to be as a result of several factors all working to Hitler’s benefit. The first factor was Hitler’s ability to procure the role of undisputed leader of the Nazi’s. Luckily for Hitler, by this time the Nazis had pretty much assimilated other like-minded groups, such as the right individual strands of the volkisch. Hitler in his leadership role was able to promote his “agenda” to save Germany. The second factor was Hitler’s ability to use the circumstances of the day to his advantage, one of which was the German depression that began in 1929. Even with Hitler’s ability to win the masses over could not have been achieved without the many external factors, like the ever worsening crisis that the government was experiencing. Hitler’s public appeal became his greatest factor in his rise to power and as such more and more people were swayed by his ideology. Finally, Hitler’s own opposition helped him, insomuch that his political rivals could neither overcome nor counter Hitler’s popularity.
Joseph McCarthy was born November 14, 1908 in Grand Chute, Wisconsin to dairy farmers, lived an average life until the age of sixteen. At this point in time, McCarthy dropped out of school until 1929, when he decided to go back and finish high school. After completing the general education requirements, McCarthy applied to practice law at Marquette University. After receiving a law degree, he practiced law in the Wisconsin area from 1935-1939. When 1940 came around, McCarthy managed to land a spot in the circuit-court as a judge (“Joseph R. McCarthy”).
Centuries later and the name Adolf Hitler still rings volumes till this present day: discussed in history books, talked about amongst intellects and commoners alike, and despised by many for years to come. Upon hearing his name many may think of all the negative things Hitler has done, but few fail to analyze just how one man created such controversy amongst a nation without being stopped. The question then lies how does a man reign over country and devastate it for years to come? Adolf Hitler, a man who excelled in persuasion and charisma was able to reign over Germany for years. Born in Austria April 20th 1889, Hitler grew up with many hardships in his life.
The Holocaust was a deplorable event in history. Millions of people were annihilated. This was a eventuality of antisemitism. Germans were considered to be "superior" from the Jewish people. However, the racial separation was not only aimed toward Jews, but to Gypsies, Slavic, disabled people, and others.
Stereotypes are a side of our everyday life. We tend to hear stereotypes every day and everywhere. Frequently, we can find ourselves in a position where we make stereotypes for a big category of people. Every one of us, young or old, is characterized with either positive or negative stereotypes. Stereotyping is a method that people characterize each other. Each set is called by name, that doesn 't really able to everyone in that particular set of group. Stereotypes influence people’s public lives, emotions or mental state, and how people communicate with their community. Gender, sexual, and Racial traits are one of the largest stereotypes. Others may include ethnicity, religion, or other categories. These stereotypes can be seen in T.V Shows
Germany made it very clear prior to the Olympics that they were in fact an anti-Semitic race. Before the Olympics there were anti-Jewish signs hung around and newspapers had a harsh rhetoric. During the Games, these incriminating items were put out of sight giving foreigners visiting for the Games a false impression of the real Germany (“Nazi” 2).When American swimmer Adolf Kiefer visited Germany in 1935 he said he saw that the acts against Jews were quite obvious, but when he returned for the Olympics in 1936 he did not see one Star of David to single out a Jew (Walters 238-239).
In the modern era, stereotypes seem to be the ways people justify and simplify the society. Actually, “[s]tereotypes are one way in which we ‘define’ the world in order to see it” (Heilbroner 373). People often prejudge people or objects with grouping them into the categories or styles they know, and then treat the types with their experiences or just follow what other people usually do, without truly understand what and why. Thus, all that caused miscommunication, argument or losing opportunities to broaden the life experience. Stereotypes are usually formed based on an individual’s appearance, race, and gender that would put labels on people.
In summary, Hitler was able to rise to power due to the citizens of Germany he had on his side and the strategy he had for gaining power. Unlike other leaders in the past, Hitler used people's vulnerability to get them on his side. His early life experiences also played a major role in his ability to take total control of Germany so
In Isabel Allende’s short story The Judge’s Wife, she conveys the theme of being raised in an unhealthy environment has a similar negative affect on your adulthood. In The Judge’s Wife, the main character Nicolás Vidal lives a voluntarily isolated life that results in him leading a lonely existence. His mother tried her hardest to make up for their unfortunate situations. She gave him a strong name to give him purpose, however, Allende writes, “Even that princely appellation had not been enough to exorcise the fatal omens”. The name does give Nicolás Vidal some sense of caring though, proof that at least one woman Nicolás Vidal remembers his childhood as one with “not a single happy memory”(187).Melancholy beginnings transitioned Nicolás
Adolf Hitler began to gain respect and political power in 1919, when he joined a small group of men called the Nazis. This was just a year after the First World War had ended, and Germany’s economy was all but booming. Hitler soon became the leader of the Nazis, and began to promise people that he would rebuild Germany. He swore he would make it a thriving empire, one that would last a thousand years. He began to preach moving speeches, and most did not believe Hitler in the beginning. Nevertheless; Hitler’s silver tongue soon convinced millions that what he spoke was true. He rose in the ranks and became the dictator of the German empire in 1933 (Hoffman). Adolf immediately began regaining territories that were taken from Germany during World War One.
The biggest boycott controversy came from the United Stated at that time. Many people in the United States feared that if they boycotted that they may start a backlash in the United States and Germany. “The Olympics were intended to be an exercise in goodwill among all nations emphasizing racial equality in the area of sports competition” (The Berlin Olympics). The Nazi’s attitude toward the Olympics made many countries want to move the Games to another country. Germany’s racial policies led to the international debates to boycott the games, but the International Olympic Committee pressured the German government into saying that they would follow the rules (Berlin 1936 Olympic Games). “Responding to the mounting international pressure, the Nazis made a token gesture by allowing a part-Jewish athlete, Helene Mayer, back on their Olympic team” (The Berlin Olympics). The United States decided to trust the Nazi people in what they said. Since the United States rejected boycotting they missed the opportunity to go against
“Among these dictators was Adolf Hitler, who called on the German masses to restore the national glory that had been damaged by defeat in 1918. He urged German scorn democratic rights and roo...
A career in medicine has been a childhood dream for me. I was born and raised in a small and underdeveloped city in Sri Lanka, where hospitals and doctors were sparse. At the age of ten, I lost my father due to a lack of immediate medical care. Shortly thereafter, a civil war erupted and I witnessed countless deaths throughout my childhood. At a young age, I understood that many deaths could have been avoided, if the sick and injured had access to medical professionals. These experiences have fueled my passionate desire to live my life as a physician.
