Walter Benjamin: "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
In this example, the camera is used not to glorify but to expose the contradictions within the economic and social system not by statistical arguments but by depicting human suffering, and to give expression to groups and individuals who normally would not be able to express themselves. This is true both of the economic underclasses but also of racial minorities such as many Japanese-American citizens who were placed in "internment" camps by the U.S. government during World War II

ON PAIN
We find ourselves in a situation where we are still capable of grasping what is lost; we can still sense the destruction of values and how the world is becoming more shallow and superficial. New generations are growing up far removed from all our inherited traditions, and it is an amazing feeling to see these children many of whom will live to experience the year 2000. By then, the last remnants of the modern, i.e., Copernican, age will most likely have disappeared (p. 45).
Its very amazing to read such passage because even during this horrifying time some people still seem to have hope for the future, to hope that not everything was going down the hill as of people always dying and WAR after this time. ITs good to see that event though people that were contributing in some type of way for the WAR to continue there was still other people looking at the bigger picture in which was progress for our children and stop the WAR. This WAR was making people empty, sad, miserable and hopeless. It seem to be a type of relieve to think or picture a better future for the up coming generation, see hope that by the years 2000s thing will be better then how it was then, and it will be understandable to think that the 2000s will be better because thing should also be progressing and there no dough thing are much better now then before however the 2000s weren't that perfect. so we are still trying to become a better world for all.

NAZISM
How is the Nazi regime to be interpreted within German history?
The Nazi is interpreted as the worst party that could have ever happen to Germany and the world as well. The Nazi was one of those horrifying world history in the world. These no place in this planet were the Nazi aren't known for the commotion they build. Hitler had the ability to manipulate people that had no hope, that was looking for someone to make them feel save, to make the people feel like everything was going to be fine and that were people tag alone. I believe that was the main reason why Hitler got his power into Germany.. The fact that Hitler saw his Germany being nothing, destroy, and poor gave him the ability to get people to believe that he was going something good for Germany. Not at all, his method of conquering the world to make Germany a better country was were the hopeless people was not realizing. He wanted to make Germany better by destroying other country and making Germany the only standing one. I believe it was also hard for the people because in this time were not event money was worth, they needed someone to assure them that Germany was going to raise again. However no matter how bad the people wanted Germany to raise and be great once again, the way that Hitler way of ruling the country was the worst way anybody could have ever rule a country and for that reason Germany will always be the most horrifying part of the world history.

Max Weber Politics as a Vocation
"The leadership of a state or of a party by men who (in the economic sense of the word) live exclusively for politics and not off politics means necessarily a ‘plutocratic’ [rule of the wealthy, after the Roman god of wealth and the underworld, Pluto—Prof.] recruitment of the leading political strata. To be sure, this does not mean that such plutocratic leadership signifies at the same time that the politically dominant strata will not also seek to live ‘off’ politics, and hence that the dominant stratum will not usually exploit their political domination in their own economic interest" (pp. 85-6)
This passage is telling us how a person that want to be in politics should think about politics, that will like to make thing better for the good of the people. its very clear the stamen his trying to put in the reading about this part of the reading. If a man that is willing to be a politic vacation to his country for the economy, their purpose is to fix thing, to do good to the state and not created this bad habit of living off the politics power. People sometimes see the power that one can obtain and really forget what was the purpose of them being involve in politics matters. In which I believe is one of the major problems of the world we live in know. Politics take advantage of the power that is giving to them in such way, that its no longer about the society or the nation it becomes living for themselves. There is were politics fail on doing the best for the nation.

The German Revalution Of 1918
"Business thrives in the ruins. Cities become piles of ruins; villages become cemeteries; countries, deserts; populations are beggared; churches, horse stalls. International law, treaties and alliances, the most sacred words and the highest authority have been torn in shreds. Every sovereign “by the grace of God” is called a rogue and lying scoundrel by his cousin on the other side. Every diplomat is a cunning rascal to his colleagues in the other party. Every government sees every other as dooming its own people and worthy only of universal contempt. There are food riots in Venice, in Lisbon, Moscow, Singapore. There is plague in Russia, and misery and despair everywhere."
This passage tell us how bad the War world had done not only to the countries that were mainly involve in it but to other parts of that world that had to live to the disaster of this madness that was going on. "Villages becoming cemeteries" is clearly that the War was becoming a death sentence to everybody, people that was against it and people that did agree with it. it seem like there was no way out of this rage that was taking over. There was no real loyalty coming from any direction, people will make agreements and brake them as soon as an opportunity to take over come alone. Even thought thing are not as bad now as they were back then, however politic is not that great now either. In many countries there still no help what so ever so the people. No health coverage, Not enough Food, No healthy water, Really bad diseases and many other things that the politics should be taking care of.

M 1931
In the film M, it was very interesting seeing how people actions when something really bad happen in a small town. The scene that i choose was the part were "The Murdered" was looking around town, it seem to be like a small mall with stores. He was just looking around and threw the mirror he seen a little girl that was looking inside a store, she was outside just looking into the store. As soon as he seen the little girl it was like a drug that he knew was at the tip of his hands and he could just grave it and take it. He couldn't stop looking at her, so he started following her. she was along, it was like this great opportunity for him to talk his bate. In his face you can see something taking over him, like he couldn't control it. After a few minute of following the little girl, she turns in a corner and see her mother, then he hides really fast when he see the little girl mother. He see the little girl and the mother walk away, he looked so mad and angry.
I choose this scene because it was so intense seeing how upset he got when the little girl saw her mother. It was like the plan he created in his mind got destroy. During this time mental illness was not something people see everyday. So the fact that there was a psychopath in town, it was not hard to know there was a murderer in town, but it was hard to know that the person had a metal illness. Because as he said at the end, it was something he couldn't control, the fire, the voices in his head. Like i have always say before the mind is a power tool that can make a person do crazy things, but then again what guarantee us that we are not crazy our self.

CABARET SONGS
"The Lavender Song"(Das Lila Lied), music by Mischa Spoliansky, lyrics by Kurt Schwabach (1920).
[English ]
What makes them think they have the right to say what God considers vice
What makes them think they have the right to keep us out of Paradise
They make our lives hell here on Earth
poisoning us with guilt and shame
If we resist, prison awaits so our love dares not speak its name
The crime is when love must hide
From now on we'll love with pride
[German]
Was will man nur? Ist das Kultur,
da jeder Mensch verpönt ist,
der klug und gut, jedoch mit Blut
von eigner Art durchströmt ist,
da grade die Kategorie
vor dem Gesetz verbannt ist,
die im Gefühl bei Lust und Spiel
und in der Art verwandt ist?
Und dennoch sind die meisten stolz,
da sie von anderm Holz!
Wir sind nun einmal anders, als die andern,
die nur im Gleichschritt der Moral geliebt,
neugerig erst durch tausend Wunder wandern,
und für die ’s doch nur das Banale gibt.
Wir aber wissen nicht, wie das Gefühl ist,
denn wir sind alle andrer Welten Kind;
wir lieben nur die lila Nacht, die schwül ist,
weil wir ja anders als die andern sind.
My interpretation of this part is that at this time 1920 in Germany people weren't able to make their own decisions. Specially during this time of WAR, people had to live in this horrifying life if they wanted to be alive. It seems as if people were shame because of thing they had to do during this time such as kill another people because of Hitler believe it was the right thing to do, there was only two choices with him kill or be killed. Love was lost!! People will see darkness, feel darkness, be darkness. People was consume with darkness and to dare feel compassion for someone and be destroy, because their is something higher then love and it was their duty for the country.
"Chuck Out the Men" (Raus mit den Männern), by Friedrich Hollaender (1926)
[English]
The battle for emancipation's been raging since history began
Yes, feminists of every nation want to chuck off the chains made by man
Hula girls and housemaids and wives in Maribou
hear all our voices thunder in protest
Anything that men do women can do too
and more that that we women do it best
[German]
(für Claire Waldoff)
Es geht durch die ganze Historie
ein Ruf nach Emanzipation
vom Menschen bis zur Infusorie
überall will das Weib auf den Thron.
Vin Hawai-Neger bis zur Berliner Range
braust ein Ruf wie Donnerhall daher:
Was die Männer können, können wir schon lange
und vielleicht ’ne ganze Ecke mehr.
Women being treated like an object has been around for centuries. Man treading and assuming women cant be good for anything other then being housewife's or a "baby maker machine" needed to change. The stigma that women couldn't work, could go to school, they could vote was the way men thought about women. They weren't allow do anything and something needed to be done. Women needed to stand together to make this change happen. It didn't matter what type of women, rich, poor, middle class women, because it didn't matter what category you was in, you as a women didn't have a voice.
PARAGRAPH 175
A man that had sexual activities with another man was to be punish by the law, so it was basically not permitted. As well as a man that let another man used him for sexual activities, but in that case I think it will be more of a prostitution action. The punishment was more extreme if the person committing the act was with a minor, in which this case is more understandable because a minor don't have an appropriate age to consent sexual act.
PARAGRAPH 175A
The most extreme penalty for any broken laws that apply to a sexual act was 10years. However there was at least a penalty of three months in prison for committing a sexual or letting someone abuse in such sexual. If a person over 21 years old seduces a minor to act on sexual behaviors or if the person was in a relationship that is being abuse for sexual services. As well as a man that was not a shame to be sexual open about their sexuality. It seem like anything that had to do with a men having sex with another man was consider a crime.
PARAGRAPH 175B
The sexual act from a human to a animal was consider a crime. If this act was committed the person civil right was taken away. Being that a person was willing to act on such horrifying act there was no compassion on how the law was going to penalizes.
This article relate to the class because during this time being gay was a huge issue that was consider a mental illness and a crime. so the WAR was not the only problem for people having to deal with such penalties for liking the same sex was a big problem as well.

The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari
The scene that was interesting to me was when Dr. Caligari was in this office and the doctors and Francis has enter the room with a body cover in a black blanket over the body. Francis approaches Dr. caligari so he can take a look at who is under the black blanket. As Dr. caligari get close to the body, Francis take the blanket of the body and is Casera dead. Dr. caligari cant believe what he is seeing and drop down to his kneed, then he look at everybody that is surrounding him and look at Casera again. Dr. caligari snaps and try to kill one of the doctor in the room by choking the doctor, all the others doctor stop him from doing this and he tries again to choke the doctor that is in front of him. He dosent seem like picking a specific person to do a harm to, he just seems mad enough to harm who ever is in front of him. As the doctors and Francis see that Dr. caligari has lost his mind they grab him and put a resistances jacket that will stop him from moving or trying to grab anyone with his hand. They take him to a room were he lances down and since he cant move they live hi there.
what i interpreted from this seen was that Dr. caligari when crazy after seeing the only person that always listen to his commends was dead. This means that Dr. caligari wasent expecting to see Casera dead specially after so many years of Dr. caligari protecting Casera specially since Casera was the person who was committing the murders.
I chose this scene because it show how a "normal" person or what people may think is normal only has to have a small event in life or mark that can drive them to go crazy. Sometimes is hard to deal with such things in life that some people are not strong enough to deal with it. I believe this relate to the class because during the WW1 and WW2 Hitler was the most hated man in that time and maybe until this day but as him being a big reason why these WAR WORLD started was because he create this crazy idea that Jewish people needed to die for what ever reason he thought was good enough to kill a human. So it all starts with one person and how their mind can make them do such things.

SIDDHARTHA
"Indeed his soul was not with the trade. The business was good enough to provide him with the money for Kamala, and it earned him much more than he needed. Besides from this, Siddhartha's interest and curiosity was only concerned with the people, whose businesses, crafts, worries, pleasures, and acts of foolishness used to be as alien and distant to him as the moon. However easily he succeeded in talking to all of them, in living with all of them, in learning from all of them, he was still aware that there was something which separated him from them and this separating factor was him being a Samana. He saw mankind going through life in a childlike or animallike manner, which he loved and also despised at the same time. He saw them toiling, saw them suffering, and becoming gray for the sake of things which seemed to him to entirely unworthy of this price, for money, for little pleasures, for being slightly honoured, he saw them scolding and insulting each other, he saw them complaining about pain at which a Samana would only smile, and suffering because of deprivations which a Samana would not feel."
The meaning of this passage is that a person that is new to an environment can adapt to the new environment depending on the person ability to get him/her self involve with people. However a person ability of adapting themselves to a new environment doesn't mean that the person enjoy the experience. A person that has been in a society where everything is "calm" or everything that surround the person is build by a specific system where everything is always the same and having a change of society and environment can make a person view thing in such a dramatic way as if they are a different person because of the change.
This passage is important to me because it show how this "Man" Siddhartha has the ability to get involve with anybody he come across to, he also has the ability of learning without a problem, he has the ability to be care free of certain things like (Money) that a normal person or a person that doesn't have it wouldn't be care free about. Is more interesting in people actions then in how good his life is. He see people as these weird creatures that have so many defection and still manage to survive. He will be able to love them and be despised which made him be more curious about people. Because he would see things that he couldn't feel, thing that he couldn't explain to him self why is this person feeling that or acting like that, thing that were unknown to him. In this world you would say that he doesn't need anything because he already has it all but this also show me that a person can have everything they wanted in life and still have an emptiness in them. That maybe there is something worst then not having anything is not feeling anything.

Expressionism, Dadaism, New Objectivity
Dada Manifesto
Hugo Ball
" How does one achieve eternal bliss? By saying dada. How does one become famous? By saying dada. With a noble gesture and delicate propriety. Till one goes crazy. Till one loses consciousness. how can one get rid of everything that smacks of journalism, worms, everything nice and right, blinkered, moralistic, Europeanized, enervated? By saying Dada"
It seem as if such word (Dada) that had no meaning to some but that was still a word in the dictionary had made such impact in the 19th century. Especially because it was the beginning of World War I, it was one of the best way to show society that true about what was going on in their world. Making people see the ugly side of the real world. Maybe it was the best way to show people what our world was going threw and it probably was the best way because it was a way to caught people eye, their attention. Make them see and think. It was time to show the dark side in an weird but then yet convincing way.
Written Assignment
"The peace treaty that ended the war, the Treaty Of Versailles, made it a requirement that Germany had to accept full responsibility for the war, could not produce things for military use, and to pay off the war debts of the other nations".
This quote has a lot to say about Germany, its really stating who was responsible for the horrible, disaster and cruelty of World War I. There are no dough's that Germany was the main reason why so many people die, not only Jewish people but many people from all over the world trying to stop this man from destroying the world. Then again lets not say Germany, because there were many people who didn't agree with his believe however the way it work with him, was either you was with him or against him. The author is saying this because it was the most devastating situation that could of happen to Germany. After this agreement was establish Germany lost everything to such a point that their money was no longer valuable. Their debt was incredibly high, they prices increases and the yet their money was better of burn to stay warm then to purchase anything. The reason why I choice this quote was because to me it was amazing how much damage one man believe can do to the world, also because I believe the best way to destroy a man believe is by taking away all this power. And this agreement was exactly what had done to Hitler, his country was extremely poor, he no longer had an army and couldn't produce military equipment.

"If We Could Undo Psychosis I" Jane Kelly, 2000
Jane Kelly was born May 7, 1956 in Charlton, London. She graduated from Stirling university, in history and fine arts in 1978. She is a journalist and artist, in 1995 she when for Advance Diploma In Painting. Her painting has made controversy in which have made her career not bad, but not so great. The painting " IF WE COULD UNDO PSYCHOSIS 2" about Serial killer Myra Hindley got her dismissed from Daily Mail. The painting didn't seem to be a good idea for many people. She has been to many Arts Gallery, in London and see herself as a Holocaust Painter. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and decided to have a blog about her health.
It ironic how she paints Hitler in front of the Paris tower, because France was one of the nation effect by Hitler cruel vision against the Jewish, that created the Holocaust. To me the painting look like Hitler is loving the fact that his in Paris maybe enjoying the moment at this beautiful place, however that was never the case. Hitler didn't really like anybody, he was one of the most back stabbing person in the world. He would have an alliance with another nation for example Russia, have a great beginning with the nation and then at the end he will betray them. He was never looking out for anybody else other then himself. And this quote that make me think what if Hitler would off never had that crazy idea that because of the Jewish they had bankruptcy. what if he would off been a "NORMAL" man like any other, then who would off done the disaster and horrifying things he did to all those people, because no matter how bad we would like our world to be just good there will also be bad. so if Hitler would off never been the bad guy then who would off taken his place. Because to me that is what she trying to say, what if his psychosis was undone, how will this world be right now. Better or worst.

"The peace treaty that ended the war, the Treaty Of Versailles, made it a requirement that Germany had to accept full responsibility for the war, could not produce things for military use, and to pay off the war debts of the other nations".
This quote has a lot to say about Germany, its really stating who was responsible for the horrible, disaster and cruelty of World War I. There are no dough's that Germany was the main reason why so many people die, not only Jewish people but many people from all over the world trying to stop this man from destroying the world. Then again lets not say Germany, because there were many people who didn't agree with his believe however the way it work with him, was either you was with him or against him. The author is saying this because it was the most devastating situation that could of happen to Germany. After this agreement was establish Germany lost everything to such a point that their money was no longer valuable. Their debt was incredibly high, they prices increases and the yet their money was better of burn to stay warm then to purchase anything. The reason why I choice this quote was because to me it was amazing how much damage one man believe can do to the world, also because I believe the best way to destroy a man believe is by taking away all this power. And this agreement was exactly what had done to Hitler, his country was extremely poor, he no longer had an army and couldn't produce military equipment.

"If We Could Undo Psychosis I" Jane Kelly, 2000
Jane Kelly was born May 7, 1956 in Charlton, London. She graduated from Stirling university, in history and fine arts in 1978. She is a journalist and artist, in 1995 she when for Advance Diploma In Painting. Her painting has made controversy in which have made her career not bad, but not so great. The painting " IF WE COULD UNDO PSYCHOSIS 2" about Serial killer Myra Hindley got her dismissed from Daily Mail. The painting didn't seem to be a good idea for many people. She has been to many Arts Gallery, in London and see herself as a Holocaust Painter. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and decided to have a blog about her health.
It ironic how she paints Hitler in front of the Paris tower, because France was one of the nation effect by Hitler cruel vision against the Jewish, that created the Holocaust. To me the painting look like Hitler is loving the fact that his in Paris maybe enjoying the moment at this beautiful place, however that was never the case. Hitler didn't really like anybody, he was one of the most back stabbing person in the world. He would have an alliance with another nation for example Russia, have a great beginning with the nation and then at the end he will betray them. He was never looking out for anybody else other then himself. And this quote that make me think what if Hitler would off never had that crazy idea that because of the Jewish they had bankruptcy. what if he would off been a "NORMAL" man like any other, then who would off done the disaster and horrifying things he did to all those people, because no matter how bad we would like our world to be just good there will also be bad. so if Hitler would off never been the bad guy then who would off taken his place. Because to me that is what she trying to say, what if his psychosis was undone, how will this world be right now. Better or worst.
