Appeasement-Oped
In our daily lives, appeasement is used in many ways. First, in any argument I use appeasement to ease the situation and to keep the argument from escalating. Just last night, I used appeasement to keep the situation from escalating. My sister and I were fighting to choose where to go to dinner. I compromised and went to the place that she wanted to keep my family from not going any where at all. Also, I think it would be interesting to see how Hitler used appeasement because in my mind it seems that he wouldn't use it at all. Although Hitler was a dictator, I'm sure he used appeasement in some way to convince his subjects in following him. Third, like Hitler I use appeasement to manipulate people to get what I want. Although I do not want to compare myself to Hitler in any way shape or form it is a common use and I use it to get what I want.

theres a difference between appeasement and compromization, and hitler was a dictator who wasn't known for using appeasement
ReplyDeleteI felt like you don't really have command between appeasement and just letting someone have what they want. I'd like to see you dig a little deeper into that difference, but well written
ReplyDeleteAlthough at some points you may be mixing up appeasement and compromise, I liked how you linked it to hitler and not just your daily life.
ReplyDeleteI think that people had to appease for Hitler, and that is how he was able to get what he wanted. Also I liked your situation about deciding where to go for dinner, but I think towards the ending of your point it was more of a compromise than you giving in to your sister.
