Journal #7

I am so amazed how i have read throughout this whole book. Robert Strayer does excellent work. I believe these last 4 chapters, really made the most impact to me in my journey through the ways of the world. A brief description of the different chapters Chapter 21 focused on the collapse and recovery of Europe between 1914-1970s. This set the stage for the modern world.
Chapter 22 spoke of the rise and fall of world communism- this included the great depression.
chapter 23 Independence and development. The feminist beginnings was such an incredible step towards success, today woman are equal, we can thank this to them.
chapter 24 covered globalization throughout the world helping to create more of a worldwide economic exchange.
The great depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that occured after the world war 2. people were poor and without jobs. It was a horrible time in the world. Many things also came from the great depression. A new deal by Franklin Roosevelt which sought to bring the U.S. out of this depression by creating new jobs, social security, national parks, and freeway systems are to name a few of the new technologies/ jobs to come.
The first world war brought the U.S. to center stage as a global power. Set the stage for the modern world.
I always have such a hard time reading about Adolfe Hitler and the Natzi power. this was a horrible genocide that killed millions of jews. I am jewish and my cousin Sarah was in the Holocaust. Sarah lives in Israel now, and I met sarah when i was nine, when my family and I took a trip to Israel.. Sarah still has the numbers tattoed to her arm. I also was fortunate to go to the holocaust museum this summer when i was in Israel. It is so horrible how hitler invaded Poland set up camps and just murdered many innocent people.
The last chapter speaks of the coming forth of Globalization after the great depression. This was necessary for economic renewal. we had to expand our countries globalization with other countries. Trade different produce and branch out to other countries.
