Hey, you're from Germany, right? Do you have any tips for writing a German character? Most specifically, a German character studying abroad, and another character placed in Germany working In a office.

Things like relationships (familial, platonic, and romantic), office culture, normal habits, and cultural shocks a German may have would be very appreciated!

Sorry if this ask is tiresome. Thank you so, so much! <3

As always, Germans are like other people. Different personalities, different opinions, different worldviews — every German is different. So, you have a lot of options to build your character with a unique character.

That being said…

Studying abroad/living in Germany

So…I assume studying in ’merica, aye? I have been there when I was a teeny tiny cat but I have also heard stuff from people who have studied abroad. And uhhhh Germans hate Americans lol (though this could also be a European thing, not a German thing).

We make fun of your school system a lot. I don’t wanna be mean but things like education, school safety, your food etc. are often victims of our dark humour. A friend of mine was studying abroad and the people could genuinely not tell what exactly Germany is. Is it a country? A continent? A city?

Adding to that, she was overwhelmed with things like “Do you know Hitler?�� or “Are you a Nazi?”

Bro…we spend months and years learning in detail about our country’s history. We visit concentration camps. We watch movies from that time, analyse in detail how the people got manipulated. We read books the victims wrote. Germany still imprisons people who are a hundred years old. Germany is well aware of its past. It’s also aware that something like this cannot happen ever again.

Since that was a bit deep uhhhh let’s go over to food. I dunno about y’all but from what I’ve heard…you’re ordering food for dinner and eat it on paper plates…? Look that’s what I’ve heard and I gotta tell you that most Germans eat bread and Brötchen for dinner (though this is also changing, a lot of people are cooking warm meals for dinner nowadays).

And — can’t stress this enough — Germans love bread. When you go into a supermarket, the first thing you’re gonna see is a bakery.

And inside the supermarket is also a mini bakery.

We love it. Can’t really live without it.

Germans complain (at least here in the East). You go out with friends? Instantly complaining about your stupid neighbours. You go to the club? Instantly complain how lame it is. You went somewhere for a special occasion? Instantly talking about everything that went well and all the things you would’ve loved to be better.

Germans love football (soccer). Personally, I hate it more than anything. But Germans love it. It’s insane to me. They sit in the stadium and scream…definitely has something Romanesque to it.

I’d say most people have a rather difficult relationship with their parents. Generational trauma is a big thing. I mean, Germany being split and being reunited is a big part of my parents’ childhood. And since healthy communication wasn’t really a thing back then, most parents just don’t really know how to communicate with their children. So, I’d rather say it’s kinda messed up? Again, I can’t speak for everyone but that’s just what I’m getting from talking to my friends etc.

It’s not that they don’t love us, it’s just that they cannot always show it when we need it.

I believe it is best if you watch a few TikToks of people who aren’t from Germany experiencing Germany, they can definitely tell you about all the different things way better. For example this one is about “language,” cake, grocery stores, German windows lmao, and this German tiktok icon making fun of Americans.

I hope this is somewhat helpful? I’m not working in an office, so I can’t tell you much about that, unfortunately but maybe someone on Tiktok could help you with that. People documenting their life is a pretty good source of information. (Other than that do not trust TikTok ever!!!)

#writing tips #no writing #pls don’t cancel me LMAO #hope this helps

Audience: Teens. Who struggle with their identity.

For each of you, “teens”, are trying to find out who you are. Who are you? What defines you? Does someone get to say who you are or is that decision made by you? Some say that the character of one person will depend on their family, their genetic background, or does it stem from the environment around the person? Every story has characters that influence us on how we think makes up a character or a personality. Let’s take the example of the Thor and Loki for example. They both have their own definite character that they play. Thor is the real son of the king and acts almost alike with their father. Loki is an adopted son who does not act or have a character of either his adopted parents. Does his character come from his biological parents or does it come from the environment at which he was raised in? This raises the question, does who you are born from define who you will become? What character do you want to play in your life story? Do you have a say of what character you want to play? Quite often your parents or the people around you may say “you fall after your father so well….” Or “you will be just like your mother/ parents…”. However, do you parents have an influence in who you will become and do they have an influence genetically or environmentally?

The main question is does character or one personality defined by nature or nurture? In this article by Mcleod he explains the extremes to the nature versus nurture topic. Nature by extreme is called “Nativism” (Mcleod). Nativism are people who think that all their abilities and their character are biologically inherited (Mcleod). He writes “psychological characteristics such as behavioral tendencies, personality attributes, and mental abilities are also “wired in” before we are even born.” (Mcleod). This explains how the side of Nativism would have viewed the topic of where character and attributes come from. On the other side of Nativism there is the “Empiricism” (Mcleod). Empiricism is the extreme perspective on a person who thought on the nurture side of the scale. The Empiricist thinks like this, Mcleod writes, “Their basic assumption is that at birth the human mind is a tabula rasa (a blank slate) and that this is gradually “filled” as a result of experience” (Mcleod). Mcleod draws a perfect picture of the two sides: Nature versus Nurture. One either by the extreme naturist or the extreme empiricism. Which one of these extreme ends defines who you are? On the spectrum of nativism, you don’t get a say on who you will become. On the other hand, there is empiricism where you are born with no qualities or attributes, as Mcleod would say “a blank slate”.

In the past there have been men or the society who have tried with efforts to distort the truth of whether nature or nurture creates a person self-worth or character. These people were extreme nativist who would do anything to create judgment and fixed perspectives on a religion, or a race or, a group of a people. There are a couple of evidence from history that proves that men have a way of distorting the way we look at people, however, we will discuss only two. There are many people in life and in school that have a way to discriminate humans from what they look like and who they are born from. The first event in history is the discrimination in WWII specifically for the Jews. In world war II, the Nazi; Hitler convinced the people that the cause of Germany’s problems was because of the Jews. He was convinced that linage of the Jews was a dirty thing. He then started to discriminate and even kill the Jews for their existence based on their linage and their biological inheritance. However, little did he know that the Jews weren’t the problem but the people around them, like Hitler. In reality, the Jews had the right minds and the right intelligence to help society grow and flourish. It was Hitler and his anger and judgment that was blinding him from seeing the truth. In this website article it says “An example of this type of prejudice can be found in the memoirs of a member of the slowly declining British aristocracy, who wrote that her social class resented the Jews "not because we disliked them individually, for some of them were charming and even brilliant, but because they had brains and understood finance."” (web.mnstate.edu/shoptaug/AntiFrames.htm.). The people began to judge the Jews based on where they came from. By nature, they discriminated them and placed them in a box based on by whom they were born from. The problem is not only the fact that they were extreme nativist, but they falsely accused the linage of Jews. Another article has claimed, “throughout history, many have sought to define Jews, incorrectly, as a single and uniform category of people with fixed characteristics, which racists and anti-Semites falsely believe are rooted in biology. But the lives Jews have lived around the world and throughout history can perhaps be characterized best by their immense diversity.” (European Jewish Life before World War II).

The second evidence in history, of this biases and clouded thought process in nativism, is the racism against African American humans. This set of wrong judgment based on their color and their biological features is the same situation as the discrimination for the Jews. Except with this situation, of racism towards African American humans, they would change the history they taught in class to drill in the young minds the false accusation for the African American humans. This article by Brosnan talks about how black people were portraited in the 1800’s school education. Schools at the time were taught differently than the school we teach today. The schools back then would teach things they thought would benefit the society. They believed that white people were significantly “superior” than the African Americans. They would design textbooks and book based on this knowledge that African American are worth less than the white race. In result of writing text books like this, they would in reality, force African Americans psychologically to stay in the fields and hard labor work areas (Bronsnan). By looking at history, we have seen so many mistakes based on non-researched and clouded judgments be based on whether someone’s worth or someone’s character stems off nature or nurture. We can’t let the biases from the world or others decided for us what we can be or what we are. What character or attribute is inherited by nature, and which is created from nurture?

Sexual identity is an example of an attribute that is created by nature. In this article, written by Loof, where he explains more about the sexual dominance and identity, he expands its most recent controversies in today’s topic of how sex is determined (Loof). Is it by nature, biologically created through hormones and chemical reactions with in the chromosomes, or is it by nurture? In today’s world people have wanted to become more like each other sex. Women want to be equal with men (loof). They want to be treated like how men are viewed as (Loof). Biologically one may be born as a female or a male human however, in today’s world there may be cases where nurture can potentially overcome what has biologically shaped gender. However, on the other hand, there are attributes that cannot be changed which are called the major genes (Fuller). Fuller writes an interesting article based on clearer way to see things on the nature side. He explains that the major genes are those that are passed down from parent to child like hair color, eye color, height etc (Fuller). He also says that diseases or viruses is also something that we cannot change by nurture, but it is passed down to parent to child (Fuller). Diseases that are passed down genetically affects the personality and attributes of a child. There are some diseases or viruses that affect the intelligence or even the ability to use the mind well enough to have their own character. This is where nature cannot be avoided. Shuttleworth agrees with Fuller, nature cannot be avoided. He writes that there are some fine lines of nature that we cannot control which are diseases that are passed down. There is another article, written by Shuttleworth, agrees with Fuller that some nature attributes that are passed down cannot be changed. However, he says that environment and heredity both have an influence as to forming character and other attributes (Shuttleworth). Shuttleworth in his own words says, “Further, in the case of intelligence and many other variables, it is essential that we have a determination of the joint contribution of hereditary and of environmental differences.” (Shuttleworth). Fuller starts to back up what Shuttleworth have been claiming on how a character is formed. There are attributes that are inherited that cannot be changed, a set of genes that are set into your DNA that cannot be changed, however, once one is being developed inside the womb, that is where nurture comes to influence your development in building character. Your parents give you a set of DNA that is unchangeable but inherited. After you are given this DNA form, you are vulnerable to have nurture to develop into your character (Fuller). Some may say you “fall after your father or your mother” however, one does not exactly inherit a 50 to 50 ratio of mother/father side. “variation in heredity are the causes of variation in traits.” (Fuller) Evolution makes organisms; humans to have variation in the DNA. Your parents are a mix of other genes that were passed down from one family tree to the next… therefore your parents will pass down a variation of genes that are not particularly what your mother or father have shown to have but are in the blood line. They may be a recessive disease or characteristics that runs in the blood line of the father or mother.

The last three sources are interesting because it connects nature and nurture together to help build character. The last three articles mainly talk about “biological clocks”. The first article is by Mcleod, the article introduces the biological clock theory. This article believes that a person’s personality and character may not reveal itself as a child but over time it will come. It is as if a biological clock is ticking its time for each individual gene to starts its chemical process. The article says “Characteristics and differences that are not observable at birth, but which emerge later in life, are regarded as the product of maturation. We all have an inner “biological clock” which switches on (or off) types of behavior in a pre-programmed way.” (Mcleod). The environment of development affects the way or when the genes are turned on… “What does it mean that grit is “heritable”? Although an estimated 99.9% of your genes are exactly the same as mine and your neighbor’s and literally everyone else you know, a tiny fraction of human genes differ.” (Angela). Sometimes we think that character and “grit” are from nature, meaning that these qualities come from genetics, which is mostly true. From the nativist point of view, alike from what Angela said, we are all practically genetically the same (Angela). Now, here is the trick to this. Most of our genes are turned off. Angela compared our genes like a switch that is turned off (Angela). When that certain gene is turned on, let say for example a gene that causes “grit” like qualities, that person will have that ability to overcome challenges; to use this quality of grit to become a better person. Therefore, the main question we all have been wondering is, how do we turn it on? How do we turn on the gene’s that are on “off pilot”? In the point of view of the nurture side of things, the way to turn on is simply through experiences. Experiences and environment triggers chemicals inside of us to “turn on” the gene that has been “off pilot”. Circumstances that happen to a person will trigger a character that maybe unlikely, considering his/her background, to achieve. We may be born with character or attributes that may already be “turned on”. Yet, we also have the ability to change or gain more attributes and qualities into our genetic pool. Therefore, nature versus nurture: it goes both ways. We are not born with nothing and yet we are also the creators of more. Creators to change and create more of who we are (Angela).

There are stages to life that are delicate and it can affect the delicacy of the biological clock. The delicate stage of life are the developing stages of finding who you are. The last article called “Development Holds the Key to Understanding the Interplay of Nature versus Nurture in Shaping the Individual” explains more about this. The stages are for example ages from in the womb to ages 25 years of age. These developing stages are so critical because it will affect a person permanently for the future than the stages of adulthood. Adolescents who face hard environment events in their lives are mostly likely to have a great impact in their life to come (Development Holds the Key to Understanding the Interplay of Nature versus Nurture in Shaping the Individual). An outside impact on the body of a person in a developing stage will significantly affect the person in the long run. For example if a young person was to be treated with any kind of drug to mess with the growth of the young person, the drug will also mess up with the timing of turning on the genes that are suppose to turn on to have a normal mental and physical side of human (Development Holds the Key to Understanding the Interplay of Nature versus Nurture in Shaping the Individua). These sensitive periods of growth are important to the timing of creating the character of a person. It is implied that genes and the experiences in a sensitive growth period trigger on other genes and rather say cognitive functions of the brain (Development Holds the Key to Understanding the Interplay of Nature versus Nurture in Shaping the Individual). Meaning that one can gain more intellect no matter what. One is not stuck in the same situation. As do babies grow do the brain develop… suggesting that the easer to develop and change cognitive behavior is the more likely to gain more intellect… meaning that at a younger age where it’s a sensitive time where the brain absorbs everything is the best time for increasing intellect. It’s not just intellect, he says “wider range of cognitive behavior” (Development Holds the Key to Understanding the Interplay of Nature versus Nurture in Shaping the Individual). The controversy whether it is nature versus nurture is deceiving because it is nature and nurture that creates one’s character. We are born with a set of genes that are not changeable however, once we are in the womb nurture plays a big part in shaping what was already given to you. Through setting off the right genes at certain, specific times, can shape a person’s personality and character to be unique and different from others.

In conclusion, nature versus nurture is a controversial topic that many want to know if to whom you are born to will affect the person you will become. There are people out there who think that nature is the only thing that creates a human being character. There are people who think that if you are born to a killer it makes you a killer. There are people who think that nurture is the only way to which one can create a life character. They think that you are born with a blank slate. Nature versus nurture is controversial, however, I believe that it is not nature versus nurture but it is nature and nurture that affect and creates a personality and character. To answer the question of what changes character, the answer is nature and nurture. This answer questions like who do you want to become? Does who you are born from change the outcome of who you will become? Your parents do play role in creating your DNA and raising you, meaning they create the environment in which you will be raised in. The environment that you create and the parents that created you will affect a big significant towards of who you will become. Your family, your friends, the influences that are around you will shape what you will take and what will trigger you inside. Even the financial opportunities and help that your family will provide will shape the person you will become (Cherry, 2019). These do affect in who you will become however there is your own will to change yourself. It is your part to make sure you aren’t affected by the people around you that may put false accusations on you and your background. It is your job to make sure that you are in environment that will turn on the genes that are needed to have a normal or even better qualities in your life to come.

9th August >> (@VaticanNews By Robin Gomes) #Pope Francis #PopeFrancis discusses populism in #Europe, also touching upon politics, migrants, the Pan-Amazonian Synod, and the Church's evangelizing mission. @LaStampa

Pope Francis: isolationism and populism lead to war

In an interview with the Italian daily La Stampa-Vatican Insider, Pope Francis says that Europe needs to respect identities of peoples without closing itself in. He touches upon several issues such as politics, migrants, the Synod on the Amazonia, the environment and the evangelizing mission of the Church.

By Robin Gomes

Europe must be saved because it is a heritage that "cannot and must not be dissolved". Dialogue and listening, "starting from one's own identity" and from human and Christian values, are the antidote against “sovereignism” and populism, and are also the engine for "a process of relaunching" that never ends.

Pope Francis spoke about these and other issues with Domenico Agasso, the Vatican expert and coordinator of “Vatican Insider”, the online project of Italy’s daily newspaper "La Stampa".

Europe and its founding fathers

The Pope hopes that Europe will continue to be the dream of its founding fathers. It is a vision that became a reality by implementing the historical, cultural and geographical unity that characterizes the continent.

Despite Europe’s "problems of administration and internal disagreements", the Pope is optimistic about the appointment of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission. He is happy about her appointment “because a woman can be the right person to revive the strength of the founding fathers.” “Women”, he said, “know how to bring people together and unite."

Europe’s human and Christian roots

According to the Pope, the main challenge for Europe in relaunching itself comes from dialogue. "In the European Union we must talk to each other, confront each other, know each other", says the Pope, explaining how the "mental mechanism" behind every reasoning must be "first Europe, then each of us".

To do this, he says, "we also need to listen", while very often we only see "compromise monologues". The starting and relaunching point, he explains, are the human values of the person. It is a fact of history that Europe has both human and Christian roots. “And when I say this,” the Pope says, “I don't separate Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants. The Orthodox have a very precious role for Europe. We all have the same founding values.”

Identity that is open to dialogue

The Pope explains that each of us is important, no one is secondary. Hence in every dialogue, “we must start from our own identity”. He gives an example: "I can't do ecumenism if I don't start from my being Catholic, and the other who does ecumenism with me must do so as a Protestant, Orthodox etc... Our own identity is not negotiable; it integrates itself.”

The Pope said that the problem with exaggerations is that we isolate ourselves without opening up. Identity, he says, is cultural, national, historical and artistic wealth, and each country has its own, but it must be integrated with dialogue. It is crucial that while starting from one’s own identity, one needs to open up to dialogue in order to receive something greater from the identity of others.

Never forget, the Pope says, that “the whole is greater than the parts.” Globalization and unity”, he says, “should not be conceived as a sphere, but as a polyhedron: each people retains its identity in unity with others".

“Sovereignism” and populism

The Pope expresses concern about what he terms as “sovereignism” which he describes as an attitude of isolation. He says he is worried about speeches resembling those of Hitler in 1934 that speak of “Us first. We... we...”

While “sovereignism” involves closing in upon oneself, sovereignty is not, the Pope explains. Sovereignty must be defended and relations with other countries, with the European Community, must also be protected and promoted.

“Sovereignism” is an exaggeration that always ends badly: "it leads to wars", the Pope says. Populism, he explains, is a way of imposing an attitude that leads to “sovereignism” and should not be confused with "popularism", which is the culture of the people which needs to be expressed. Suffixing “-ism” to “sovereign”, the Pope says, is bad.

Migrants: primacy of right to life

On the issue of immigration, Pope Francis stresses on the four principles of welcoming, accompanying, promoting and integrating.

The most important criteria in this, he says, is the right to life, which is linked to conditions of war and hunger that people flee from, especially from the Middle East and Africa. Governments and those authorities are required to think about how many migrants they can take.

The Holy Father also calls for creative solutions, such as filling up labour shortage in the agricultural sector. Some countries have semi-empty towns because of the demographic decline. Migrant communities could help revitalize the economy of these areas.

Speaking about war, Pope Francis says “we must commit ourselves and fight for peace.” Hunger mainly concerns the African continent which, he says, is the victim of a cruel curse, that it should be exploited. Instead, he says, part of the solution is to invest there to help solve their problems and thus stop migratory flows.

Urgency of the Amazon Synod

On being asked about the Synod on the Amazon in October in the Vatican, the Pope says “it is the ‘child’ of ‘Laudato si’”. He clarifies that “Laudato si” “is not a green encyclical but a social encyclical based on the “green” reality of the custody of creation.

“It will be our synod of urgency”, the Pope says, expressing shock that on Earth Overshoot Day, 29 July, man has already exhausted all the regenerative resources for the current year. This, together with the melting of the glaciers, the risk of rising ocean levels, the increase in plastic waste in the sea, deforestation and other critical situations, he says, makes the planet live in "a situation of world emergency”.

Synod, work of the Holy Spirit for evangelization

The Synod, however, the Pope points out, is not a meeting of scientists, politicians or a parliament. “It was convened by the Church and will have an evangelizing mission and dimension. It will be a work of communion guided by the Holy Spirit.”

The important themes of the event are those concerning "the ministries of evangelization and the different ways of evangelizing".

Amazonia key to the future of the planet

The Pope explains the choice of Amazonia for a synod is because the region involves as many as nine States. "It is a representative and decisive place. Together with the oceans, it contributes decisively to the survival of the planet. Much of the oxygen we breathe comes from there. That's why deforestation means killing humanity.”

Politics

Asked about politics, the Pope says that "the threat to the lives of the populations and the territory derives from the economic and political interests of the dominant sectors of society". Thus politics must "eliminate its connivances and corruptions”. “It must take concrete responsibility, for example on the subject of open-cast mines, which poison water and cause so many diseases".

Hope in young people

The Holy Father expresses confidence in young people and their movements for a new attitude towards the care of Creation, like the Swedish teenage activist, Greta Thunberg, who is leading a worldwide protest against climate change. The Pope says he was moved to see a placard of hers that read: “We are the future”. It means promoting attention to the little everyday things that "affect" the culture "because they are concrete actions", the Pope says.

THE OSWALD HANCILES COLUMN

*"There is No Plan B..."*

*"(Climate Change) ....is one of the most ...serious issues....which world

leaders **must attack**...without wasting any much further time...Time is of the essence...! You have seen so many cases of extreme weather patterns.. which has been striking all around the world... It happened right in the middle of New York...Climate Change is happening much more

faster.... than one would expect.... Climate Change is happening because of human behaviour....And If it is happening because of us, then it is us ...we, the human beings, who ... must correct it....We have only one

earth,...Some people...who do not support this.... may think we have Planet Earth B ....No.....We have only one planet earth...Therefore, there is no Plan B ...We have only ... Plan A.....We need political leadership ... That is why I am convening on September 23rd of this year...in the United Nations....World Leaders Climate Change Summit Meeting..." *

*Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, Freetown.*

When the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon, stood next to the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, H.E. Ernest Bai Koroma, during a joint press conference about a week ago at State House, Freetown, I absolutely comment here that the above-quoted response to the question by "veteran" journalist, Clarence Roy-Macaulay (Associated Press), on "Climate Change", was the most thought-inducing one . For feisty-politically-partisan-and-polarized Sierra Leoneans, the mention of

the two words "Plan B" would evoke derisive thoughts of the lurking threat in the words of "veteran" politician, Charles Margai, about two years ago - about a "Plan B" to outwit the governing APC government. What our 11 years civil war should have taught us in Sierra Leone is that there is really NO 'Plan B' for Sierra Leone - we either sail together, or, sink together. But, then, even if we follow the elixir-sounding prescription of Ban Ki Moon - "*Rule of Law**"**...**"**Quality

Education**"* - to manage our country as if Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohamed combined were national leaders, 'Climate Change' would wreck havoc to our most valiant efforts of good governance; and blight President

Koroma's vision of a "Middle Income Sierra Leone in 35 years".

*'**The ant**'**s world**'** is not ALL of planet earth*

For the human race not to collectively address the emerging realities of 'Climate Change' would be like this: *an ant is luxuriating on a slice of bread with butter and jam, nibbling away; the bread is inside the captain's cabin of a huge passenger ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean carrying over a thousand passengers; the ant **'**thinks**'**: "

I will protect this wealth with all the weapons at my command!"; but, unbeknown to the ant, others are setting fire to parts of the ship, others are boring deep holes on the sides the ship, causing the ship to dangerously bend; and, if they are not stopped, the ship would sink to the bottom of the ocean, and no matter how much the ant tries to defend its 'slice of bread world', it would die like the rest of the passengers on the ship*. The biggest and most powerful of all nations - the U.S., Russia, UK, Japan, China, Germany, etc. - are like that ant. As well as tiny nations like the Gambia, Benin, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, etc.

*Climate Change is the **'**Truly First World War**'*

All the biggest wars mankind has ever fought would pale in comparison to the ongoing 'Climate Change war'. The Second World War was

ferociously fought in Europe, North Africa and Asia. It ended with the dropping of the hydrogen bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in 1945. It gave humanity a glimpse of man-created Armageddon. It was

not, in essence, a 'world war' - large swathes of the planet in South America, Africa, and North Atlantic were largely untouched by it.

*Climate Change is essentially **'**The First World War**'*. Wars have to have 'enemies' and 'friends'. The 'enemy'...? The 'enemy' in this '*Truly

First World War**'* is frightfully amorphous.

The Allied Powers in Europe during the so-called 'Second World War'knew who the enemy were - Adolf Hitler's rampaging Nazi war machine;

the megalomaniac Benito Mussolini of Italy, and 'emperor-god' of Japan who inspired kamikaze warriors not afraid to die for the Fatherland. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela had little trouble in pigeon-holing the enemy - white racism against blacks in the US and South Africa. In this 'Climate Change war' who are the 'enemy'?

If we have trouble identifying the enemy, we do know that the 'enemy' is winning most of the battles for now. Climate Change means that average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius)

around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years. The United Nations' *Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) *reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest

since 1850. What would these scientific facts mean?

*The effects of Climate Change Third World War*

Sea level could rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 to 59 centimeters) by century's end, according to IPCC's February 2007 report. Rises of just 4 inches (10 centimeters) could flood many South Seas islands and swamp large parts of Southeast Asia. Glaciers around the world could melt, causing sea levels to rise while creating water shortages in regions dependent on runoff for fresh water. Let me kindle your imagination: Bonthe and parts of Shenge in Sierra Leone could go under water; the hug investments in tourism on the idyllic beachfronts in Freetown could be lost forever; Monrovia, and most of the billions of dollars of investment in Lagos city, would be devastated irreparably.

Strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters may become commonplace in many parts of the world as Climate Change gains momentum. The growth of deserts may also cause food shortages in many places. *The fragile economies and political systems of Africa, the dearth of scientific and technological know-how, would NOT be able to withstand the 'enemy's onslaught' - and food relief could not come

from China or US, as they could be faced with food emergencies themselves.* Who is this 'enemy' plotting to wreck havoc on humanity much more cold

bloodedly than Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Osama Bin Laden, Adolf Hitler....all combined?

*Aha!! **'**The Enemy**'** - for Africa, at least*

The March, 2013 edition of *African Business* magazine, titled '*WHO SHOULD PAY FOR CLIMATE DAMAGE**'*, helps to narrow down the 'enemy' - at least, as far as Africa is concerned: "*Do not be misled by the neutral sounding 'climate change' label. It has been proved beyond doubt that human activities, particularly from the heavily industrialized North and Asia, have messed up the earth's climate patterns to such an extent

that the future for many people is nothing sort of catastrophic (!!).

Damage from climate change .... affects every person on the continent and has direct bearing on your income, your health, your quality of life and in some cases, your very existence...." *

Bahijahtu Abubakarr, head of Nigeria's Renewable Energy Programme, referring to Africa's 3% -5% emission rate, is indignant: "*We did not create the problem.....Nor are we being provided with remotely close to

what is needed to tackle it - financial and otherwise..."* Climate Change should stimulate a paradigm shift in global international relations. But, no! The perception of the richest nations that Africa is beggarly...festers. Calculations by ecological economists at institutions like University of California, Berkeley in 2010, based on just six categories - greenhouse gas emissions; agriculture; exploitation of

fisheries; deforestation; ozone layer depletion; and conversion of mangrove swamps - *show that 'rich' nations owe poor nations over $2.3trillion. *The estimates were described as conservative by the authors because they

exclude categories such as freshwater depletion, loss of biodiversity, etc.Under the (Climate Change) Cancun agreement, developed countries

'agreed' to provide USD 30 billion for the finance period 2010 to 2012. Among the billions of climate funds pledged, only a small percentage is reaching Africa. Africa has received about 12 percent of funding for adaptation. Asia - 40%; Latin America - 25%. Again, Africa is the 'men pikin', or, poor cousin, being given the leftovers. Belligerent African thinkers are calling for *'Climate Change reparations...'*

*To listen to the 'slave masters'' intransigence? To do the 'slave

dance'?*

*Jos Delbeke, the European Union's (EC) Director-General for Climate Action*, deflected the issue. He told African Business, "*The concepts of 'ecological costs' and 'ecological debt' are highly controversial. The concept of 'North' versus 'South' no longer holds. (We) need a new legally binding global agreement covering all countries - by 2015 at the latest....* ". Same patronizing song that Africa's 'slave minded' leadership are expected to dance to. Ban Ki Moon said in Freetown during the aforementioned press conference last week that he has invited President Koroma to a big Climate Change conference

of world leaders in September 2014 - including civil society leaders, women and youth leaders. To do what? Another round of 'slave masters''songs

- another frenzied dance by the 'global slaves'? Slavery!!! For over

twenty four years, in Liberia, Nigeria, and here in Sierra Leone, I have developed projects and *ideas that link the Protracted Holocaust of the Atlantic Slave Trade to the thought behind today**'**s Climate

Change*. This is 'another story' really. For now, FORBES' thousand plus billionaires on the planet, the leaders and managers of trillions of dollars economies...must reflect, and take action on, Ban Ki Moon's

profundity: there is "no Plan B"; humans have caused 'Climate Change - and, humans can mitigate it ... - this mandates and end to 'us' versus ' them'; 'slave master over slaves' mentality, rich nations against poor nations....white against blacks....

Implications of German Election Results

This week a very major development occured in Germany, the biggest country of Europe. Federal General elections were held there. The results of those elections were as per expectations but it also did have some big surprizes within itself.

Germans vote for the next Chancellor and their next parliament every four years. Last time they had voted in 2013, when Angela Merkel the incumbent Chancellor was re-elected for another term, her 3rd one. This time again the same thing happened. She got elected for her 4th term. Whilst she did get re-elected as Chancellor, it was a bitter-sweet victory for her. She only managed to fetch 33% of the total number of seats in the German Parliament, also known as Bundestag. Last time in 2013 she had managed to get 41.5% seats and hence her party was down by 8.5% this time. So although she may become the Chancellor one more time, but by no means this election brought convincing results for her. She will be facing a hard time gathering a coalition and also after that whilst running the government. The second position was taken by the SPD party, the party of the Social Democrats who also suffered a huge loss of 5,2% of its share in the parliament by gaining just 20.5% seats this time around. What does these General election results of Germany bring to the globe? What implications does it have on the overall scenario of today's world? It will be very interesting to dissect this entire developmentt point by point, issue by issue and examine all the possibilities that arise out of it. (1) The Rise of the Right:-- The new right-wing party of Germany, AfD (Alternative for Deutscheland), secured 12.6% of the seats in the parliament this time, which showed a sharp rise of 8.5% over its previous performance in the last General elections of 2013. Just imagine a party which was considered a nonentity, or with very little significance in national politics , all of a sudden gaining so much ground that it becomes the 3rd largest party of the country!! This sudden rise of the AfD has alarmed everyone in Germany and also all across the globe. The reason is very clear. Such a similar course of events started in 1920s, when Adolf Hitler rose to prominence from nowhere. His main support-base was " Right-wing nationalism". His rise from mid-1920s till 1933, when he gained all the powers of the state, was simply extraordinary and meteoric. Everybody was astounded by what he had achieved. But then what followed after that were such events that nobody wants to recall, especially not the Germans. Hitler led them into the Second World War in which millions of Germans lost their lives and the entire country got demolished. So this rise of the far-right AfD party in Germany this time, reminds everybody of the holocaust and the gruesome period of the Nazi rule over there. But are these fears logical or valid?

The answer to the above question is "No". If we compare the rise of Third Reich (rise of the Nazis of Hitler) in the past and this sudden rise of the AfD party now, we come across very little number of similarities, whilst there are so many things which make them different from each other. The Nazis had one very strong leader in Hitler at that time, whereas the AfD party does not have a single strong leader to whom everybody would unanimously bow down. On the one hand they have Frauke Petry, the woman they call her as a Co-chair of the party. She looks to me a defiant and confident young woman but she is nowhere near Hitler in terms of dynamism, flamboyance, charisma and aggressive personal demeanor. Above that, her speech also is not anywhere near that of Hitler's. (Here I am not praising that monster called Hitler. We all know how evil he was. But one must concede to the harsh fact that he had within him all the above qualities in abundance. He was a very dynamic person with a lot of flair and flamboyance. His personality showed natural aggression and a charisma that could attract so many Germans. His speech was from the bottom of his heart and he put so much energy into it.) In short, Frauke Petry is not a potentially big threat to the present establishment. How about AfD's another Co-chair, Alexander Gauland? Does he have any of those qualities listed above? Is he a big threat yet? The answer is a clear "No". He is neither as dynamic, charismatic, flamboyant as Adolf Hitler. Above all, he is not young as what Hitler was when he first rose to prominance. He may be having some aggression, but that does not suffice to become an outright challanger to the ruling governments. Then comes the third leader of AfD, Alice Weidel. She too, like the above two leaders is no big threat. She is young but she is not aggressive, dynamic, flamboyant or charismatic. According to my viewpoint, unless and until a person with Hitler-like qualities, attitude and demeanor comes to the fore, there is no reason for anybody to get apprehensive about the rise of the right-wing party in Germany. All fears about that, at this particular time are baseless and not amounting to any substantial argument about any big threat looming over the heads of humans once again.

(2) What does this result mean for Chancellor Angela Merkel? Now, let us examine what this result means for the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. It is being widely discussed amongst political circles, that her permission to allow 1 million refugees into the German mainland, has costed him this loss of about 9% in the number of seats that her party got in the parliament this time. There was a time before some months when he popularity figures were going down rapidly and it seemed that she would be losing the next elections. But she did not. She managed to make a come back and become the Chancellor once again. That shows her resilience, her capacity to bounce back after getting defeated for some time. That is the main reason why she is in her 4th term as the leader of a big nation, which by no means is a small achievement. Having said that, let me also state here that it would not be easy for her this time to rule and govern. She has to get ready to face the huge challenges facing the nation this time. The AfD party is ready to hackle her inside the parliament and perhaps she is fully aware about that. Her refugee policy has been widely criticized by so many native germans and there will be a huge amount of pressure on her to revert that. How much she surrenders to that pressure and how much she resists it, that all depends on her ability to form a strong coalition with parties like the FDP (Free Democrats) and the Greens Party. If she manages to convince a majority of the leaders of FDP, Greens and ofcourse her own party CDU, about the rightfulness and the legitimacy of her policies and that they being in favor of the German nation, then she will not be facing any big trouble from AfD. However, if she does not fully convince the above-listed parties' leaders about what she has done so far and what she wishes to do in the future, then it will be very difficult for her to govern and rule. But looking at her skills and abilities of convincing and forming successful lasting coalitions in the past three terms, it seems very unlikely that she will get defeated by the divisive tactics of the AfD. What really will happen, that only time can tell. But it will be very interesting to watch the political developments in Germany now.

(3) What does this result mean for the SPD leader Martin Schulz? Another leader of prominence is Martin Schulz, the current leader of the second-largest party of Germany, SDP (Social Democrats). He was expected to overtake Angela Merkel this time during the elections but he failed miserably. Perhaps it was this "wave" towards the Rightist ideology, that made his party fail. They managed to secure only 20.5% of the total number of seats, a drop of 5.1% from the previous General Elections. That clearly means that his voice in the parliament has been subsided for some time now. But his decision to sit on the opposition benches this time and by no means support the Christian Democrats (CDU) in forming a coalition government this time, may prove to be a good one for himself and his party. Apart from that, he has stated very evidently that he will try and stall any rightist moves made by the AfD party, which means that SPD wants to become the biggest challenge towards AfD's march towards acquisition of power. These words of opposing anything and everything that AfD wants, should have actually come from the mouth of Angela Merkel, but instead they have come from that of Martin Schultz, which is another mouth-watering development. It seems that at present, the SPD is more keen to stop the rightist party's potential juggernaut from rolling over entire German mainland rather than any other national party!!!

(4) Effect on World Affairs and International Politics:-- The entire world, especially european nations were keenly observing the outcome of these elections. This is because Germany is the biggest stake-holder in the European Union and over the last 3 decades it has registered a remarkable growth in terms of business and finance. This victory for Merkel does mean a continuation of its policies internationally. No big change is assumed to occur with regards to its relations with world powers like US, Russia, China, UK and France. It will continue to try and integrate the countries of the EU as much close as it can. Its tough stand towards Greece (about forcing its government to take adequate austerity measures before providing them with huge loans) will also remain the same. What looks likely to change is its immigration policy. Merkel has not yet indicated that she did make a blunder by allowing all the refugees from whatsoever country they came from - whether it be islamic Asian countries like Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq or from poor African countries like Libya, Ethiopia, Somalia etc. But it is very likely that the results of this election has opened her eyes and she will take reformative measures soon now. She may ask some of the refugees to leave, or she may put a cap on the number of refugees still coming into Germany from its borders. The best thing she can do is ask other european nations to share the refugee burden equally, once more. She already did that in 2015, but countries like Hungary, Czech republic and Poland did not agree at all. She should in fact, be very persuasive and aggressive in her tone and approach this time, if she wants that other european nations also must share this huge burden of refugee influx into europe. The only path for her to regain her declining popularity is by stopping the entry of more refugees and thus changing her failed policy of allowing all the refugees from backward war-stricken countries. If she fails to do that, then Afd party will surely capitalize on her repeated mistake and gain further ground. That will mean that the General Elections in Germany of 2021, may see the AfD party becoming the ruling party with either Frauke Petry or Alexander Gauland becoming the next Chancellor!! But as of now that seems to be an unlikely scenario. Looking at her previous track record, Angela Merkel will make amends on her recent mistake of allowing all refugees into the country. This is more likely to happen looking at the drubbing her party has received from AfD, who had heavily criticized Merkel's policy of allowing all who come to the country to stay inside it, even if that was not legal. In that line, she might ask some of those refugees who have come from Afghanistan and Iraq to go back to their homeland, where now peace has returned, for example some parts of Iraq are now not under ISIS control any more, but the iraqi government is controlling them and presumably law and order situation has been reinstalled there. She may even put a cap on the number of refugees entering Germany on a daily basis. There is one more important thing she is very likely to do now -- ask all European countries to have a demographic-proportionate share of the refugees instead of some choosing to take in a very few of them, i.e. if the country has a bigger population then it must have more refugees coming into it. This may not be liked by countries like Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland who have allowed very few number of refugees into their countries compared to more than a million taken in by Germany by now. I personally feel that she has done a great act of humanity by allowing so many helpless refugees to take shelter in her country but in that process she has missed her duty towards her country's citizens. The head of a country is expected to look into all aspects concerning it, including the security aspect, which is of paramount importance. Whilst being humane and very good to the poor refugees pouring into your country in thousands, you should also see how those who are already living in the country will feel once in a new situation. There is quite a chance that the IS and other such terrorist organisations have infiltrated many terrorists in the disguise of refugees during 2015 and 2016. If that is true, Germany will see many more terrorist attacks on innocent civilians in major cities. Loss of life and property would be the inevitable outcome. If that happens it could Merkel who will get blamed. So what she needs to do right now is to strike a balance between being kind and being calculative. She has suffered loss of so many parliamentary seats only because she kept on being kind all the time. No doubt, as mentioned above, her intentions were not only good but also great. But she was not calculative. Had she thought of the other aspect of the situation, i.e. the effect on the german citizens already residing inside the country due to this heavy influx of muslim refugees, she would have taken some preventive measures already in the beginning of 2017. Luckily, this issue of illegal migrants to Germany did not make her lose the Parliamentary elections altogether. These elections has managed her to remain where she was, if not strengthening her position, in the course of it. But now she must make amends to her big mistake of being so lenient. She should be highly persuasive and aggressive now during her appearance in the European Union meetings. She should make it loud and clear that Germany is not going to take in all the 1 million refugees forever. Each european country, whether located in south or north, west or east should have its proportion of refugees. This should be a demographic proportion. If a country's population is more, then it must take in more refugees. It can also be an area-based proportion. But under all circumstances, Germany should make it clear that the number 1 million is too big for it to accept all of them. There should be a certain mandatory law passed in the European parliament about it being compulsory for each country to have its legitimate share of the refugee burden, so that no country can escape from it whilst some of its neighbor is getting over-burdened. Looking at the manner in which countries like Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic have behaved so far, in terms of the refugee crisis in europe, convincing them along with some other european countries will be a mammoth task for Merkel. But if she succeeds, then it will be a big victory for her. That will also mean that the surge in the favor of rightist party AfD will gradually subside down and things will start becoming more favorable to her once again. The election of Donald Trump as President of the most powerful country in the world, United States came as an unpleasant surprise to many. One of those was Angela Merkel. She was assuming that it would Hillary Clinton who would become the next US President. However, with Trump getting chosen as the new leader, Merkel and Germany had to be flexible enough to accept him. From her words and actions, it is quite clear that Dr. Merkel does not like Donald Trump too much. Yet the harsh fact is that he is the strongest leader in the world now and in order to maintain a good friendly relation with US, she has to any how adjust herself to whatever Trump says and does. Seldom she may choose to openly criticize Trump as what she did before a few days when she expressed her dislike about the position and stand that Trump has taken against North Korea. She told publicly that Trump's aggressive stand against North Korean leader Kim is needless and there is no military solution to the North Korean crisis. It can be solved only through a suitable dialogue between the two parties. Making such remarks is okay but she can not afford now to be in a totally different side of its strongest ally although she may not like its leader. On the other hand, the US clearly thinks that Germany is one of its closest allies, it being a member of NATO too. The re-election of Merkel has thus not created any type of positive or negative effect on US-German relations and the status quo has been maintained. Although the relations with Russia has been sweet-sour over the last few decades, Germany does not bother too much about that now. Every country including Russia knows whose side Germany will take when it comes to crucial international decisions. It is not going to be in their side. Yet, that does not mean that the relationship between these two strong nations have been worsened over the last few years. Merkel's re-election will maintain the status quo here too. No change in relations is expected in the next four years unless something unpredictable happens. Germany has been very keen to develop its relations with the next super-power on world horizon, i.e. China, in the last one decade. So many joint ventures in business have been commenced between the two advancing countries. Merkel's re-election as Chancellor will maintain the status quo here too. The relations with France are likely to become stronger now, especially after the election of Macron as the French President, a few months ago. With the re-election of Merkel as Chancellor, both the leaders will now try to push the relations between the two major european countries to a higher level. Merkel wants to make the European Union more powerful than what it was when UK was a member of the EU. So does Macron want. This was obvious after the Brexit referendum on June 23, 2016, when the britishers decided to leave the EU. A stronger EU now with no Britain in it, will be a befitting reply to the UK that its presence or absence does not practically affect the EU, either financially or in any other manner. So it is likely that the ties of Germany with France will get stronger in the years to come. (5) Effect of these elections within Germany:- Apart from the widely discussed topic of Refugee crisis, Germany looks very solid in terms of its economy and financial growth. With so many companies of the corporate sector showing very good quarterly and half-yearly results, the economic sector is booming. Unemployment rate and inflation are quite down. The stock markets have been rising in sync with the Dow Jones and Nasdaq of the USA. Thus clearly, under Merkel's leadership, German has been growing in terms of financial prosperity. The issue of terror strikes on Germany has been a cause of major concern for all German citizens. Not less than a dozen small and big terror attacks have occurred during the last 15 months. About 45 people have lost their lives during them and more than 100 have got injured. Attacks have been either directly conducted by ISIS affiliates or by lone-wolves who get inspired by the online propaganda machinery of the ISIS. Homeland security, thus, is an area of Major concern with which Merkel will have to deal in a very deep and sincere manner.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ Thus looking overall, the world will welcome Angela Merkel (and is already doing so) as the re-elected leader of Germany, as its Chancellor. She has shown her mettle as a cool, composed and dedicated political leader in the last 12 years, majority of whose actions have been aimed at achieving peace and harmony in the world, along with financial prosperity and unity amongst all nations. Let us hope that Dr. Angela Merkel takes the human society further ahead in those directions mentioned above in her own quite composed style. - Kamlesh Bhatt (Published Author of "How to Succeed like Sachin Tendulkar") Note:-- If you liked my writing style and expressions, you may well choose to buy my new book, "How to succeed like Sachin Tendulkar", which is selling briskly over the internet these days.

Brexit caused by low levels of education, study finds

Britain could have likely voted to remain in the European Union where its population knowledgeable to a barely higher stage, a new have a look at has located.

Researchers at the University of Leicester say that had just 3 in keeping with cent greater of the population long gone to college, the UK could probably not be leaving the EU.

The researchers checked out motives why humans voted Leave and determined that whether or not a person was to college or accessed other better education changed into the “principal issue” in how they voted.

The paper, posted in the peer-reviewed magazine World Development, carried out a multivariate regression evaluation and logit model to regions of us of a to perceive why people voted the way they did.

The stage of higher schooling in an area was far extra important than age, gender, the range of immigrants, or earnings in predicting the manner a place voted, the researchers found.

Age and gender have been both vast however not as essential as schooling degree, the researchers determined. Income and range of immigrants in an area were not discovered to be a huge issue in how people voted.

The ultimate Labour government set a goal of half of younger humans getting access to higher schooling and there has been a huge enlargement in numbers in latest a long time. Universities UK says it predicted the range of human beings in employment with better training qualifications to have risen from 28.7 in keeping with cent in 2002 to fifty-one.3 in step with cent in 2022

Dr. Aihua Zhang, from the University of Leicester’s Department of Mathematics, stated: “The EU referendum raised large debate and hypothesis of the purpose of the voters and its motivations in the balloting. Much of this debate turned into informed by way of easy statistics evaluation analyzing person elements, in isolation, and the use of opinion polling information.

Brexit Concerns 26 display all “This, inside the case of the EU referendum wherein a couple of elements have an impact on the selection simultaneously, did not expect the eventual outcome. On June 23rd, 2016, Britain’s vote to go away the EU came as a wonder to most observers, with a bigger voter turnout – 72.2 in line with scent – than that of any UK general election within the past decade.”

British electorate voted via fifty-two in line with cent to forty-eight in line with cent to go away the EU in a referendum held in June 2016

India is a developing country with zeal to excel in every field. This country had seen so many sorrows and pain at the time of British rule. But in the influence of Britishers Indians learned a lot of new inventions, technology, and strategies. After independence, it possesses a developing scenario in every field and education is one of the fields whose development is at par. The country had got updated only by this tool of education. Now we will visualize the educational development of India after independence in the following manner.

Percentage of Literacy

The rate of literacy had been increased tremendously at the time of independence. It was 19.3 % in 1951 and 65.4 % in 2001. The government had started free and compulsory primary education with a provision of mid day meal. Universities and colleges in India had increased to a great number. Enlargement of Technical Education

After independence, there were an establishment of many engineering colleges, medical colleges, polytechnics and industrial training institutes etc which imparted technical education and training with a good deal of approach. For example Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Management and many other colleges of medical and agricultural education.

Education for Women

In ancient times women were supposed to be imprisoned in their homes. They were meant to do household works. But after independence women had got their identities. They had started their participation in the field of education on top priority. The literacy rate of women had increased a lot after independence.

Vocational Educational

The government had started so many programs to provide vocational education in the field of a dairy, agriculture, typing, pisciculture, electronics, carpentry and mechanical etc.

Adult Education

There were so many adults who were not educated but require education in every respect so as to get a prestigious image. For such a purpose government had started the programs for adult education. The age group of 15-35 years comes in this category. The numbers of adult education centers were 2.7 lakhs which had increased the literacy rate in 2001 to 65.38. These programs are mainly the part of rural areas.

Science study Education Brexit

Indians are very intelligent in the field of scientific inventions and discoveries. To develop new strategies and technologies we require the complete knowledge of science. After independence, there were so many schools which provide education with respect to science. The financial aids are being provided with respect to teaching materials, teachers or professor, laboratories and science kits etc.

Educational Institutes

In ancient times there were not enough schools, colleges, and universities in India. After independence, there are ample of schools, colleges, and universities in India. The number of universities in 1951 was 27 which had increased to a number of 254 in 2001.
