The aim of this essay is to examine if the Keck[1] test is unsatisfactory, too rigid and places too much emphasis on law and fact, rather than market access[2] and consider that there are no clear outer boundaries to the Article. Article 34 of The Treaty on The Functioning of The European Union (TFEU) prohibits Members States (MS) from discriminating against imported goods by favouring domestic products, unless the MS can establish a justifiable cause[3]. The case of Dassonville[4] established the courts need to look into issue of national legislation that would constitute a measure equivalent to quantitative restrictions (MEQR). Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "Test Satisfactory" essay for you Create order It was held that Article 34 would have a broad definition that measures which were à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“capable of hindering, directly or indirectly, actually or potentially, intra-Community trade are to be considered as [MEQRs]à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ [5]. The issue that arose from the ruling was that the formula, theoretically established that all national measures from other MSs could be caught under Article 34. The issue that arose from the case of Dassonville, was whether the formula should catch all national measure even those close to restricting trade or should there be test that would allow a MS to escape the formula? It was the case of Keck that formulated the test that allowed MSs to escape the Dassonville formula; it was created to change the structure of free movement of goods and the scope of Article 34. Keck is used to determine whether MS legislation directly, indirectly, actually or potentially hinders trade within the Dassonville formula. The Keck test for defining if a measure is non-discriminatory is whether the measure has equivalent effect and in turn has to be justified. Keck has two rules, the first rule deals with product-bound measures, which imposes additional requirements on the product. These requirements are seen to restrict trade and fall within the scope of article 34. The second rule deals with selling arrangements, these are rules that regulate when[6], where and by whom goods may be sold[7], advertising restrictions[8] and price controls[9]. There rules by their nature do not impede the market access of imported products more than they prevent the market access of domestic products, provided that they apply to all relevant traders within the national territory and apply equally in law and fact to domestic and imported products, if they meet these criteria they fall outside the scope of Article 34. The issue that Keck had was with dealing with measures of intra-community trade that were too uncertain or indirect to warrant the use of Artic le 34. HÃÆ' ¼nermund[10] showed how far the European Court of Justice (ECJ), were willing to stretch the scope of the term à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"selling arrangementà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ outlined in Keck. The ECJ referred to Keck and the conditions that had to be satisfied before the German rule of prohibiting pharmacists from advertising pharmaceutical products outside their pharmacy, fell outside the scope of Article 34. In this case the conditions were satisfied and the German rule was found to be compatible with EU law. In Leclerc-Siplec, the ECJ ruled that a French ban advertising certain products on television was a selling arrangement. The ECJ concluded that the rules in question were not within the scope of Article 34. Though EU case law has shown that selling arrangements do not necessarily fall within one set of rules, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"the form of advertising is a significant factor in determining whether the Cassis[11] or Keckà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦ rule applies.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ [1 2] The Mars[13] dealt with German unfair competition law. The ECJ held that the German rules related to presentation, labelling and packing of goods that lawfully had been manufactured and marketed in another MS. Under Cassis, these rules are within the scope Article 34 and can only be justified under mandatory requirements, in this instance no justifications were found, and the rules were said to be restricting trade between MSs and against EU law. Familiapress[14] demonstrates the importance of the form of advertising. Austrian legislation prohibited the sale of newspapers that contained games or competitions for prizes. The ECJ disagreed even though the method was used for sales promotion; the ECJ was concerned with the actual content of the product in the case, because the competitions formed an important aspect of the magazine. By making this distinction, the ECJ established that the Austrian legislation did not fall within Keck definition of selling arrangements. It was est ablished that the national legislations compatibility with EU law would have to be determined under the Cassis rule. The ECJ left the national court to decide if the restriction was proportionate. Greaves stated that à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"Where the method of advertising is an intrinsic part of the product itself, as in Mars, then the Cassis rule applies. Where the form is external to the product, the Keckà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦ rule applies.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢[15] Familiapress shows a distinction between Mars and the application of Keck, regarding the rules of product characteristics and selling arrangements. After Keck, extrinsic advertising constituted a selling arrangement falling outside the scope of Article 34, while intrinsic advertising, which relates to the product requirement, would only be restricted by a MS if it can be justified under the Keck requirements. Weatherill and Chalmers both argued that the ECJ has misinterpreted the purpose of Article 34, instead of focusing on the fre e movement of goods and the creation of an internal market, the Court focused on discrimination imposed by national legislation. Chalmers states that à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"Cassisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦ [was] the main judicial instrument for achieving legal interpenetration of Member State markets. Following Keck, the Cassisà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦principle now has only a limited integrative function.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢[16], the issue here is that Keck has disrupted the development of an internal market and in turn Keck has established a narrower market based on equality in law and fact. Advocate General Jacobs found the Courtà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s approach in Keck unsatisfactory for two reasons[17], the first being that à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"the severity of the restriction imposed by different rules is merely one of degreeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢[18], Jacobs illustrates that a type of restriction is as serve as an outright ban on importation and marketing, Jacobs places emphasis on when dealing with the restrictions to advertising, that also have an important role in building an internal market, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"In short, advertising injects greater fluidity and mobility into the economy and enhances competitiveness. A ban on advertising tends to crystallize existing patterns of consumption, to ossify markets and to preserve the status quo.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢[19] The second reason that Jacobs find Keck unsatisfactory is Keck criteria that focuses on a discrimination test, the problem with a discrimination based test is that it leads to a fragmented internal market, because producers and traders must adapt to restrictions on selling arrangement depending on which MS they market their products in, the restrictions should not be based on local conditions but against the entire Union. Two tests where put up forward, the first being de mininmus, which has been established to be unsatisfactory in this area because it focuses on principles far too complex for the courts to evaluate compared to Kecks rule based formula. The more plausible test would be à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"An approach based on the access to the market provides is with aà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦framework for analysing the goodsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢[20] which was acknowledged by Jacobs and Weatherill, regarding Keck, Article 34 and market access. Case law prior to Keck showed the difficulties in defining the outer boundaries of Article 34, in turn Keck was criticised for being overly formalistic because it drew a distinction between rules relating to product characteristics and selling arrangement. The focus on market access, Jacobs argued that were measures affected the goods directly, as in a Cassis type case, then it will be presumed to have a substantial impact. If the measure affected a selling arrangement and was not discriminatory, the severity of the impact would be based on other factors, such as the nature of the restriction, if the impact was direct or indirect and the extent of other available selling arran gements. Keck would remain establishing that selling arrangements are outside the scope of Article 34, but could be caught either by the classification concerned with product characteristic or because they have a different application in law or fact. The market access test has been further refined, by Wheatherill to à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Å"apply equally in law and in fact to all goodsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢[21] though the market access test was not used initially compared to cases regarding free movement of services and workers, it has been slowly adopted by later cases[22], it has been shown that the ability of goods to access the market of a state is a core feature of the Keck test, the distinction under this test, is that Keck will be fulfilled provided that state legislation does not restriction a products access to the market. Wheatherill has shown that there is an outer boundary and to maintain this element, national rules must not threaten the growth of the internal market. To an extent the Keck test has been seen as unsatisfactory for being overly formalistic between the distinction between product rules and selling arrangements, but what has been seen through case law is a development and understanding of what selling arrangements are, the development of an outer boundary to Article 34 and the Court recognition and application of a market access approach.

Responses For The Child And Her Father - 952 Words

Anticipated responses for the child and her father might very different. The child may cope by acting out, being emotionally dysregulated, having eating or sleep disturbances, brooding or withdrawing, being restless or unable to be still, taking on too much responsibility or developmentally, emotionally and physically, regressing (Bugge, Darbyshire, Rà ¸kholt, Haugstvedt, Helseth, 2014). The child who witnesses a death may be afraid they or another family member will die in the same way. They may also be actively avoiding painful memories or suppressing their needs being afraid to cause more trouble (Bugge, et al., 2014). The process of grieving is complicated by the tasks of the developmental stage that child is going through, the relationship with the deceased, their coping skills including support systems, and the circumstances of the death (Slyter, 2012). She is in Erikson’s stage of Industry versus Inferiority, so the clinician might see her express the thought tha t she has done something wrong that caused her mother’s death. The father, although he can express his grief more directly, may find that he has conflicting feelings about processing his grief and simultaneously attending to his daughter’s needs. He may go through the five stages of grief as proposed by Kubler-Ross (Corr, 2015). These stages include denial, or shock; anger; bargaining; depression; and acceptance, or moving forward.

Social Media s Ideal Body Image For Woman - 1524 Words

Femininity, on the other hand, is defined as the attributes and nature of the female sex (Merriam Webster/Femininity). Related words to femininity include â€Å"girlishness†, â€Å"womanhood†, â€Å"effeteness†, and â€Å"womanly† (Merriam Webster/Femininity). When images for â€Å"femininity† are researched, most depict beautiful, perfectly made up, extremely skinny women wearing pink clothing with long, flowing hair. This photo description is social media’s ideal body image for woman. Because of this, sixty nine percent of girls in fifth through twelfth grade reported that pictures on certain types of social media influenced their perception of the ideal body image and forty seven percent of girls in that same age group reported feeling pressure to lose weight because of a picture seen on a certain type of social media (ANAD). This perception often leads to eating disorders in young women (Media, Body Image, and Eating Disorders). About thr ee percent of women suffer from anorexia nervosa in their lifetime (ANAD), and social media may influence the development of many cases.

The effects of advertising on body image have been studied by researchers, psychologists, marketing professionals and more. Researchers, Mary Martin and James

Elevating Repositioning Costs Strategy Dynamics

Question: Discuss about the Elevating Repositioning Costs for Strategy Dynamics. Answer: Strategic management refers to the most appropriate method in which one can apply to the running of an organization. It plays an integral role in the expansion of the company since it forms basis through which one can establish positive or negative returns from the association. The managerial body should encompass people who are ready to dig deeper into different research platform so as to be exposed to the best measures and approaches to utilize so as to make the most appropriate decision concerning the company. The businesses that their management is inefficient concerning exercising their roles do not withstand the challenges which arise as a result of the existence of competition in the trading world (Baumgartner Rauter, 2017). Therefore, it is prudent for them to apply different phenomena which have been proven to work in the best way possible for various traders such has the value chain theory by Michael Porter. The theory is rich in fundamental studies on how one can be successful in the administration of an enterprise in this cutthroat business scenario being experienced on earth. Furthermore, the company can be managed in an overt way if at all the planning body has the knowledge concerning the micro and the macro environment affecting the busines s. This study will enable one to make prudent choices while dealing with various matters related to the administration of the corporation. Value chain of Lazard Lazada Company applies the Michael Porter's theory of conceptualization which outlines that the company should ensure their production go in line with the needs of the consumers. According to Michael, the company should make sure that both inbound and outbound logistics of the firm is well organized. For instance, Brenes, Ciravegna Woodside, (2017) outlines that, Lazada online shop ensures that the products in which they sell are readily available in their stores by the time the consumers make orders. This dynamism eases the manner at which the business is done in their association. Besides, Lazada has very qualified suppliers who are taken into vigorous exercise during the interviews after doing tenders for the providers for the various types of goods in which the company deals with in the industry. They are given a time span in which they can deliver their products with the view of ensuring that the commodities reach the firm as well they should be readily available for the buyers . The value chain of the company is much developed because their advertisement is done in different sites, notably, the Facebook and the various Google sites (Chen, Pan Ouyang, 2014). It is estimated that this corporation has more than thirteen million followers on Facebook. These numbers of people have developed their way of making purchases by only making a request on the Facebook sites. Therefore, this helps in increasing the revenue for the Lazada. This strategy made by the key stakeholders to the company was withstanding since for one to make good sales on an internet platform (Cui Pan, 2015). One has to have at least a social media account through which one can interact with their customers. More so, Porter's value chain theory which has been applied extensively in this form of endeavor is seen in the manner in which deliveries are made to the buyers. The business runs twenty-four hours every day and thus the consumers upon making request receive their goods at the time sche duled as per the deal drawn between the parties. The products reach the customers at the right quality, quantity, and shape. Such dimensions have led to an increase in the profits as a result of consumers retained as well as new ones who join the corporation on a daily basis. Likewise, the goods produced by Lazada are branded in such a way that it is appealing to the consumers. Nonetheless, those which are received from the different suppliers are renowned in such as manner that uniformity is obtained. Lazada key competencies Business competence, especially in this century where different kinds of activities are being invented as a result of harsh economic times, is very pivotal for one to remain in the market for an extended period. Nevertheless, Lazada has been realized to being quite competent in their endeavors. One of the main features is that; they have a booming business model in which they use in running the activities across the Southeast Asia. Their central point is the unwavering convince in which they provide for their consumers. According to the statistics carried out by Hennart Slangen, (2015), Lazada is focusing on improving the percentage of the clients in which they make their purchases online to rise 1% to at least 5 % annually. This target has been apprehended after they counter Amazon through minimizing their processing times whereas ensuring maximization of the customer expediency. The creation of the leverage as improved their strengths to extend of creating eight hundred thousand d iverse products in their online souk podium (Johnson, 2014). The increased number of goods and services in the company has led to a massive number of customers who are always interested in making of all their needs from different demands ranging from that of house ware to the fashion under one roof. The perplexing increment in the figure of buyers has led to the development of new energy of providing more products in the industry as per the taste and preference of the consumers. Consequently, making them gain the ability to be in the market in which they pioneer since the users no longer prefer the competing companies. Likewise, the company provides goods which suites both medium and small income individuals. The consumers are people who have different capabilities in commercial standards. It is important for the business fraternity to provide goods in which the buyers from all social classes can afford. This important aspect of commerce is what is thriving Lazada. According to Davi d, (2016), different people prefer them unlike their rivals since they have a variety of products meant for all levels of individuals in the society such has the children aged and the middle-age people. The matter has enabled it to run with a large number of consumers and thus generating enough revenue to sustain it in the industry as well aiding in the expansion to other countries in the world. Additionally, the company is supported by BOI which is an online promotion investment in Asia. This firm provides non-taxable incentives which operate by providing the skilled labor force and also enables the company to get accessibility to the total foreign ownership in the enterprise (Durand, Grant Madsen, 2017). This initiative as enabled Lazada to provide quality products as a result of the presence of the skilled personnel unlike their rival corporation like Amazon. Such practices thus have made it to continuously prosper in the market with manageable competition from other firms. Macro-environmental scan of the new of the company Macro business environment refers to the forces which affect the company externally, and they have the inability to control. They include economic, Legal, Political, social and technological aspects. These factors have the ability to affect the operations of the business both negatively and positively. The new market in which Lazada should undertake is Indian online sector. The political stability of this country is justifiable, and thus the operations of the Lazada would be harmonious (Menon Yao, 2017). The government of India has a well laid down security measures, and thus any foreigner with the intention of doing business in the country is guaranteed of their safety. Additionally, the economic system of India is defined. The Lazada Company can make double sales as compared to one in which it used to sell in Southeast Asian countries. The reason is that India is very populated country and thus there is the availability of a large market for the goods and services offered by the g roup (Rothaermel, 2016). Nevertheless, this population is made up of people who love fashion as one can justify that Indians are fond of wearing beautiful clothes with ornaments of all types. Moreover, the social matter is also an important aspect of the macro-environment. The Indian people in spite of being so religious, they can purchase a broad range of commodities such as mobile phones and kitchen ware and house decors. Therefore, the Lazada group of companies will still work within its rationale in this given country. The legal matters concerning the online business platform are not that strict as compared to the people doing businesses in the shops (Sila, 2015). In fact, the Indian government is encouraging ecommerce businesses, and thus rules and regulations involving carrying out of venture are favorable. This justifies that the Lazada companies can operate at peace in the new location without problems. The technological knowhow is the central point in this form of trade. Th e country in which one should serve should have a good network connectivity as well people who have mobile phones which are internet accessible. This is not a challenge to India since they are classified as being among the fast growing industrial countries with new technology. For that matter, Lazada should not hesitate in doing commerce in this state. Strengths of three ecommerce companies of the new market India is made up of various enterprises that deal with online products. One of these firms is the Amazon whose headquarters is in the United States. It deals with a range of products such as beauty products, house ware, and home decors products. It has been the dominating business in the world as far as online business activities are concerned. Currently, it is struggling to make India its second biggest market in the world apart from the United States. However, its high prices and failure to provide goods and services which cut across people of all economic stands as proved futile since this has become an advantage for the Lazada group of companies and thus offering the best platform in which Lazada can compete and make significant sales as compared to Amazon (Gregory, Ngo Karavdic, 2017). FleAffair is also another ecommerce based in India. It has been in the operations for more than a decade dealing with electronics and men and women clothing. This company has been experiencing so me challenges related to poor management and incompetent workforce. These issues have consistently made it fail and at the moment have proven it cannot manage its operations. The company's managerial team has been forced to consider the probability of takeover and thus giving an opportunity for the Lazada to enjoy the fruits of their failure (Laufs Schwens, 2014). To add on that, Ebay is also among the companies controling the Indian ecommerce sector. Like the Amazon, it has been on the market for an extended period, and thus they have a large number of consumers. It is the biggest company though the entry of Lazada may lead to decrease in its number of customers. This company deals with a broad range of products such as mobile phones and tablets, house ware, clothing and medical and pharmaceutical facilities. They sell their products at a relatively higher price, and most do not make prompt deliveries as expected. This problem has slowly led to its slow growth, and thus the chance of being overturned by the entry of Lazada is inevitable. Therefore, Lazada as the opportunity of making itself a giant by competing with such a company since its ability to make prompt deliveries to the consumers is admirable (Trigeorgis Reuer, 2017). Maintaining of the spirit of ensuring the products reaches the consumers as per the agreed period as was in the Southeast Asia will give this enterprise a chance to secure a place in which it can enjoy a competitive advantage in this hosting nation. Different modes of entry Methods of entry are the various ways in which a company can apply in the event where it wants to extend its operations to another country in the world. There are many methods involved; however, one will delve upon the common ones and more so which applies to our course of study in the case of Lazada Company. These models include; franchising, licensing, joint venture and export mechanisms which are used by various companies in trading in foreign destinations (Elshaer et al., 2016). Franchising is a method through which a company with a little capability of running its business pays a royalty to another company so as to gain the ability of recognition with the trade mark of the purchasing company. The company purchasing trademark will be seen as the mother company since their products are similar in all dimensions. It is an excellent form of doing business; however, it inhibits one from developing into an independent business in the market. On the other hand, Grant, (2016) outlines, licensing is an entry mode in which one undergoes through the rules and regulations of the country in which one desires to operate by conforming to their paper work and so forth. One is entitled to pay taxes and licenses which allow one to carry on with the business (Li, Guo Xu, 2017). This type of entry mode is very common. The joint venture type of entrance manner is also applauded with most of the business organizations (Morris et al., 2015). They consider it very easy only because they enter into a ready market for their goods. The companies dealing with same type business activities mutually make an agreement of becoming one business unit. The law requires the merging companies to sign documents of incorporation to show that they are partners in the given corporation. Lastly, the export form of an entry in another country commercial sector is also pivotal. One receives this kind of acceptability by selling their products to another country and vice versa. It is a common form o f business in the world. According to the scrutiny by Leih Teece, (2014), one can comprehend that the best way in which Lazada can enter into the Indian market is a joint venture. It is prudent for them to approach FleAffair online which is interested in partnering with other company in running the online business due to a massive failure in which it has been experiencing over an extended period. By doing so, they will be assured of the most suitable process for obtaining the consent of trading in India (Martin, 2013). Additionally, the company will only reignite itself by the offering of services in which the FleAffair company had failed and thus an easy way of countering the rivals in Indian online podium as well increasing their sales as a company. Conclusion Strategic planning is vital to the success of the enterprise. The Lazada group of companies has proven to be led by the most competent workforce which results from their output and the input in the business. The competitive advantage in which they exhibit in the Asian market is a promising indication that they can succeed elsewhere. The availability of large market in the Southeast Asia has advanced its skills in trade because most the products in which they sale have the designated group of people in the society. For achievement of any online platform, the companies should take the example of the Lazada in the manner in which they reach their clients and so forth. Recommendation Online business is one f the flourishing industries in the world today. It is important for the government to allow the amendment of the school curriculum to pave room for the online course so as to increase the number of people entering into this sector. The economic issues affecting the entire world needs extensive research in this field since it has proven to be culpable in the offering of employment to a large number of unemployed youth worldwide (Pereira-Moliner et al., 2016). Likewise, the state should ensure their countries are well supplied with electricity and network facilities. All the online work uses the presence of handy interface gadgets which cannot be sustained without the use of electricity. Therefore, such measures should be in place. Moreover, the security involving the cybercrime should be peeved up by the different safety agencies so as to avoid fraudulent cases while one carries out their trading activities. Additionally, enterprises should be encouraged to inc orporate their existing businesses into online type (Goerzen, Asmussen Nielsen, 2014). This will lead to an increment in their sales since most of the people are too committed and thus taking up responsibilities of making purchases from the different business outlets is a problem. Such measures will allow for expansion of various companies as well growth in employment opportunities in various fields. References Barnes, S., Hunt, B. (Eds.). (2013). E-commerce and v-business.

Soviet German War Essay Example For Students

Soviet German War Essay The Soviet-German War is the most brutal episode of the most vicious war that mankind has ever seen (Clark 1). During the â€Å"Great Patriotic War†, as Joseph Stalin coins it, the Soviet Union emerges through pure tenacity as one of the world’s great superpowers. Although Stalin and the USSR emerge victorious, the sacrifices made are enormous (Clark 446). Estimates show between 20-25 million Soviets die from 1941-1945. Only 7-8 million Germans die during this same period (Encarta). Many of these deaths are a direct result of the brilliant (sometimes insane) chess match between two of the most tyrannical leaders in history: Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Even today, some people ponder which leader fits the anti-Christ description best. The finest way to analyze the minds of these two leaders is to examine each dictator’s rise to power, their use of propaganda as a means to support their â€Å"game† of war, and the initial offensive campaigns that each dictator launches. Born on December 21, 1877, Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili’s father is a drunkard and his mother is a washer struggling to support the family. Dzhugashvili will later be known to the world as Joseph Stalin (Encarta). Stalin’s mother, Ekaterina Georgievna, is a dedicated member of the Orthodox Church and enters him into the Seminary at Tifilis(Georgia) in 1894 for the study of priesthood in the Georgian Orthodox church. Soon after Stalin becomes part of the illegal Marxist movement (Encarta). The young Stalin quickly rises to the rank of leader of his own Marxist circle. In May of 1899, he is expelled from school just short of graduation in which later communist literature criedits to â€Å"political balance† (Encarta). By this time, Joseph Stalin has become more immersed in his role as a professional agitator of the system. While working as an accountant in Tbilisi, Stalin joins the Social-Democratic Workers’ Party. In 1900 and 1901 he leads railway strikes and demonstrations which catches the attention of the imperial police. He is captured for the first time and is exiled to Siberia in 1903; but the feisty Stalin escapes and by 1904 he is back in Georgia. Between the period of 1903 and 1913, the imperial police capture Stalin a total of seven times for revolutionary activity. He escapes numerous times to come back and wreak chaos on the Czarist government. When the RSDLP split into the Menshevik and Bolshevik factions, Stalin’s need for disruptance leads him to the Bolsheviks, the more militant of the groups(Encarta)In late 1905, he travels as a Caucasian delegate to the secret Bolshevik conference in Finland. It is here that he meets Vladimir Lenin. Stalin quickly becomes one of Lenin’s most trusted lieutenants; his main priority going to raising money for the party. Lenin promotes Stalin to the Central Committee, which is the Bolsheviks leading body in 1912 (Encarta). During this time Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili adopts the name Joseph Stalin, which in Russian Stalin means â€Å"man of steel† (Encarta).By this time the Stalin that the world knows best begins to evolve. In 1922, the Central Committee of the new Bolshevik government elects Stalin as Secretary General. Lenin then suffers his first major stroke. This is the most important turning point in Stalin’s rise to power. With Lenin bedridden for the last years of his life, Stalin uses his closeness to Lenin as a means of quickly rising past the normal orders of succession that Lenin put in place. In the last moments of his life, Lenin begins to realize that Stalin is an aggressive tyrant who will stop at nothing for absolute power (Encarta). .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 , .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .postImageUrl , .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 , .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6:hover , .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6:visited , .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6:active { border:0!important; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6:active , .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6 .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u398fa083dfaf069ce7af2b87fe6418c6:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Immanuel Kants Ethics Of Pure Duty Essay Lenin’s final political â€Å"testament† displays his doubts about having Stalin as the Secretary General and even asks that Stalin is removed from office. Lenin also suggests that one of his other understudies, Trotsky, should replace him. Lenin’s testament is successfully suppressed by Stalin and is Lenin’s wishes are not made known until after his death. With Lenin dead, Stalin easily becomes the ruthless dictator that rivals Hitler. While there has always been evidence that Stalin’s destiny is insanity, Hitler’s childhood is nowhere near indicative of what is to follow. Born on April 20, 1989, in a small village in Austria-Hungary, Adolf Hitler’s father is an Austrian customs agent who rises to considerable status. Therefore, Hitler’s childhood is relatively comfortable (Encarta). The only indication of the future Hitler is his strong will. He is a bright but moody student who loves the arts. Hitler’s erratic behavior causes him to flunk out of secondary school at the equivalent of the ninth grade level. In 1907, Hitler is rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts(Encarta). This is the beginning of Hitler’s journey from dejected youngster to brilliant, yet psychotic man. Between the 1908-1914, Hitler spent his life as a loner, moving from locations often and selling paintings for a living. At one point Hitler lives in a homeless shelter(Encarta). When World War I erupts in 1914, Hitler eagerly volunteers for service in the German army on the Western Front. On legend states that upon hearing the news of war Hitler sinks to his knees in jubilation. Most will agree that this is definitely a sign of an imbalance in his thinking process. After his unit, the Bavarian Regiment’s first battle against the British and Belgians near Pyres, 2500 of the 3000 men in Hitler’s regiment are killed, wounded, or missing(Encarta). Hitler escapes without serious injury. This becomes a similar pattern in Hitler’s war years. Either from a result of his heroism or luckiness, Hitler earns an Iron Cross First Class in 1918; which is a high medal to receive for a person who never ranks above Private First Class(Encarta). The savageness of war causes Hitler to hate races other than Germans and while recovering from a mustard gas bomb Hitler decides to devote his life to the destruction of â€Å"inferior† races (Encarta) Hitler’s makes his talent as an orator evident to his officers. After the war, he is selected for special training to speak to returning prisoners of war. Hitler soon learns the power of persuasive speech. His oratorical successes lead him to a special position as an observer of political groups in Munich(Encarta). One of the groups he observes is the German Workers’ Party; later renamed the National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party. Hitler becomes intrigued by the party and soon joins. This marks his entrance into politics. Through advertising in the anti-Semitism newspaper, people come to the meetings to hear Hitler speak. In the summer of 1920, Hitler is instrumental in choosing the symbol which is an infamous symbol of hatred; the swastika. By 1921, Hitler is named Fuhrer(absolute leader) of the party (Encarta).Adolf Hitler quickly uses his position to spread the party’s influence throughout Munich and Bavaria. Soon Munich is the center of right-wing opposition to the new national government (Encarta). The basis of the party is that democracy and socialism are ineffective and the only way to prosperity goes through dictatorship. Hitler’s process towards absolute power begins on November 8, 1923, when Hitler and 600 armed Nazis raid a Beer Hall in Munich the head of the Bavarian government is speaking. Hitler takes several officials hostage in an attempt to takeover the provisional government. However, the attempt to revolt fails and Hitler is sentenced to five years in jail. The resilent Hitler is released one year later.After his release from prison in December 1924, Hitler rebuilds the National Socialist German Workers party (Nazi) and waits for the opportunity to regain national influence.
