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.

The United States' transformation from isolationism to superpower status after World War I

World War I, also known as the Great War, officially came to an end in 1918 and reshaped the country in a variety of ways. One of the most immediate changes was the way the world perceived the United States. Before the war, most of the country and its leaders preferred an isolationist stance to any international conflict. In 1914 the U.S. had only a small army and a pitiful navy, yet as the war progressed many Americans began to disapprove of the German's use of submarines to sink neutral ships such as the infamous sinking of the Lusitania (Hickman). However, it is interesting to note that the German's were actually correct in their assertion that the Lusitania was being used to carry military ammunition, as divers have recently uncovered from the wreckage, which did actually make the ship a legitimate military target (Greenhill).

Taxonomy, morphology, and distribution of vervet monkeys

There are typically six species that science recognizes, but there is disagreement as to whether this is one species of a species and subspecies. For the entire species of Chloroceus, the terms "vervet" and "green" monkey are used interchangeably even though there refer to some other species as common names.
