What is German?

Germany as a subject of academic study spans a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, cultural studies, sociology, and public health. Students are drawn to this topic because Germany occupies a uniquely complex position in world history, particularly in relation to World War II, the Holocaust, and the transformation of European society. Events such as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and figures like Heinrich Heine and Adolf Hitler appear across coursework that demands students grapple with how a society can produce both profound cultural achievement and catastrophic violence. The country's historical trajectory also raises enduring questions about nationalism, identity, and political power.

Student papers on this topic take several distinct approaches. Some focus on historical analysis, examining military history through subjects like German U-boats or the conduct of World War II as seen in film reviews of works like Paths of Glory. Others take a cultural angle, exploring German society, language, and identity, including through primary source methods such as interviews with non-native speakers. Comparative essays place Germany alongside France, Italy, Haiti, and Latin America to draw broader conclusions about national development, immigration policy, and modern history. Policy-oriented papers address topics like healthcare systems and how Germany manages social institutions.

A strong essay on Germany requires a clearly scoped thesis that commits to a specific time period, theme, or question rather than attempting to survey the country as a whole. Evidence drawn from historical events, policy documents, or cultural texts carries the most weight. The most common pitfall is treating Germany as a monolithic subject, so writers should identify a precise aspect of German life, society, or history and develop it with focused, well-sourced analysis.

Should the United Kingdom leave the European Union?

Position: The UK should leave the European Union. The costs and risks accompanying membership in the EU is simply not worth the benefits for the UK. Contributions to the EU common fund are a significant drain on the UK and are disproportionately spent in areas which are irrelevant to the UK, such as agricultural subsidies. The benefits that the UK seeks from EU membership, regional security and free trade, are now either the norm or can be achieved through alternative means, such as through trade agreements. Neither is EU membership likely to yield greater benefits in the future, as there is little in the EU economic plan to indicate that it will help its members keep pace with emerging global competitors. With its own economic struggles to deal with, the UK can no longer afford to commit such resources and energies to such a fruitless relationship.

Time, agency, and narrative structure in Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run

Tom Tykwer's film Run Lola Run uses a repeated, twenty-minute long sequence in order to explore the ways in which human beings structure their experience of time. This narrative technique, coupled with the alternating use of film and digital photography, serves to highlight the importance of imagining possible futures when deciding a course of action. Ultimately, the film is revealed to be a celebration of human agency in the face of the overwhelming totality of time.

Overcoming barriers to cross-cultural communication through common sense

Communicating effectively with others involves some fairly straightforward techniques that are equally valid in any setting rather than the complex multidimensional conceptualizations that are being advanced in the literature today. To gain some fresh insights in this area, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning constraints to cross-cultural communications and how these can be overcome by using some common sense and intuition. A summary of the research and important findings are presented in the paper's conclusion.
