The Different World

For a student surrounded by fields of turf, readily available schoolbooks, and teachers which are eager to teach and help, it is difficult to understand how one might live under conditions that include poverty, oppression, and the constant fear of death. These are the conditions that people have to live under in the world today, or during the oppression of Jews by the Nazis. What is going on in Swat Valley is considered to be fascism as well. The Taliban are using “scare tactics” and militarism to control the population of this valley. During the oppression of the Jews and the people in Swat Valley, innocent people were/are being hurt. Fascism is not effective and should not be used as a political system. Even though its ideals are good, such as a better economy, fascism is not practical when used due to the harm it brings. The harm overweighs the promises.
Even though America is in an economic crisis, it still holds great military power. This power could be used to stop the attacks done by the Taliban on schools for girls. We need to continue to fight this “evil” that arose out of the Nazis or the Taliban. Some people may oppose this plan, but overall, we would be making the world better.

  1. Can there be a good form of fascism? or does it always have to bring harm?
