As the one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of World War I approaches, one may encounter some rather strained attempts to compare the current global balance of forces to that in Europe in 1914. I recently visited several countries in south east Asia and a different comparison struck me, the similarities between now and the 1930s, weak democracies and strong dictatorships.

This comparison “jumped off the page” after a week in Bangkok, followed by several days in Hanoi - a journey from a country with weak and faltering formal democratic institutions to an apparently stable one with an authoritarian regime (bordering on a country with a considerably more brutal dictatorship, China).

In The Age of Extremes, Eric Hobsbawm argued that the conflict between capitalism and communism determined the course of the twentieth century.  This confrontation of socio-economic ideologies without doubt dominated European and global history, especially after 1945.  But another, inter-related confrontation that determined the course of the century was authoritarianism versus democracy. The capitalism-communism conflict seems but a moment of history for people in their forties and younger. However, the danger of a rising authoritarian wave is as imminent in the twenty-first century as it was in the twentieth.

In most countries of Europe in the 1930s the contest between authoritarian and democratic visions of society dominated the political struggle. The exceptions were Italy where the fascists had already established an extreme version of authoritarian rule, and Britain where a rigid class structure gave stability to superficially democratic institutions. By the middle of the decade, capitalist authoritarian regimes were clearly on the rise in Germany and much of central and eastern Europe (e.g., Hungary and Poland), as well as Portugal, with Spain soon to join the anti-democratic camp.

Indeed, in very few of the industrialised countries in the late 1930s did democracy seem the stronger trend. Among the large countries only in the United States was there an unambiguous shift towards strengthening popular participation. Ironically enough it was during the presidency of patrician Franklin D Roosevelt that trade unions asserted themselves as a major political force (which would not survive much past mid-century).

Now, well into the twenty-first century it is even more difficult to find a major country with vigorous and democratic institutions, certainly not in the United States nor in Europe. In the United States the confrontation between a well-funded right wing Republican Party and the middle-of-the road Democrat Party dominates politics, one doctrinaire and aggressive, the other muddled and vascillating. The anti-democratic trend is demonstrated by passage of laws restricting the right to vote in Republican controlled states, linked to the racist xenophobia of the Tea Party. In the White House sits a Democrat apparently unconcerned by a massively intrusive national security complex.

In Europe anti-democratic trends are if anything stronger. Britain probably has the most extensive video surveillance network in Europe (see recent articles in the Guardian), as well as legal restrictions on the right of assembly, designed to reduce public protests (as we find in Spain). In addition, the Conservative-dominated coalition government’s brutal attack on poor households receiving social support in effect legalises civil rights violations. Surveillance, attacks on the poor and the government fanning fears of immigrants combine to make a potent anti-democratic package.

On the continent pre-existing authoritarian tendencies enjoyed a quantum leap under the EU-wide austerity regime fostered by the German government under the cover of the European Commission. The unelected governments in Greece (2011-12) and Italy (2011-13) represent the most obvious and shocking examples of the authoritarian trend.  Much more serious in the long term is the EU fiscal compact (officially named the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union).

This treaty, which came into effect at the beginning of 2013, severely limits the authority of national parliaments to set fiscal policy. The treaty and additional measures demanded by the German government remove fiscal policy from public control (with monetary policy in the hands of the European Central Bank and beyond national accountability). This process in which major decisions are taken away from the electorate fundamentally undermines public faith in the democratic process.

Explanation:

Authoritarian governments were able to flourish in the 1920s because democratic governments were failing especially in the late 1920s and early 1930s. On top of that socialism was spreading which scared many people and authoritarianism seemed like a better option than democracy for stopping socialism.

Authoritarian government is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting. Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government.

Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military. States that have a blurred boundary between democracy and authoritarianism have sometimes been characterized as "hybrid democracies", "hybrid regimes" or "competitive authoritarian" states.

Minimally defined, an authoritarian government lacks free and competitive direct elections to legislatures, free and competitive direct or indirect elections for executives, or both.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. World War I.

Explanation:

A trench warfare is a war in which both sides have dug themselves opposite each other in trenches and other fortified positions, with the aim of halting the advance of the enemy, which culminates in a stalemate where neither side succeeds in breaking through the enemy lines. The best-known trench warfare is World War I.

In general, trench warfare is the result of technological advances that allow enemy soldiers to be killed faster than they can advance. For example, in World War I, repeating rifles, machine guns, and modern artillery made it possible to mow down soldiers in the open by bushes. However, as armies still moved largely on foot and horseback, they could not cross those same open battlefields fast enough to get close enough to the enemy and fire effectively at the enemy.

Answer:

Negritude is the literary and intellectual movement that developed in Paris among the black writers in France. This movement was a sort of open declaration and acceptance of their black or African origin and their public expression of being accepted as Black writers.

Explanation:

The term "Negritude" refers to the literary movement during the early 19th century that originated in France. This literary movement was a result of the collected group of black writers and intellectuals banding together to raise concerns and cultivate their African identity and origin.

The concept of negritude developed first in Paris among the black or African writers and intellectuals who speak French and desired to express and openly declare their African origin. It was a result of their desire to be accepted and identified as black writers, their acceptance of their culture and identity. The movement was a sort of reaction against the European colonization of Africa and the need to assert the cultural racism that the Europeans had directed against the colonies.

Answer:

Reading words and symbols on a painting can be challenging because we must first comprehend the meanings of the symbols before connecting these meanings to the words to build a tale.

A painting is a kind of visual communication. We are confronted with a written text in literature, which is usually written in familiar words since we speak the language that appears on the page. Even though we can't see them, the characters we encounter in literature are usually recognizable human beings, and we can comprehend their dialogue because we've heard speech similar to theirs before.

When you look at a picture, you have to have a distinct set of expectations. An author can describe a landscape or a scene's setting, but an artist attempts to recreate it so that we can see it for ourselves. This raises challenges unique to painting, such as color, shape, texture, size, and the relationship between one group of figures or objects and another, all of which eventually coalesce into the work's style.

It is easier to read text on a page since they are organized in a logical manner. When an author utilizes descriptive words to appeal to the reader's bodily sensations, this is known as imagery. This aids the reader in comprehending what the characters are seeing, touching, tasting, smelling, or hearing, which helps to bring the story to life. When writing a story, authors choose their words carefully and decide how to structure them so that they are understood the way they desire. They not only aim to conjure pictures in the minds of their readers, but they also use the words on the page to establish patterns that lead to a deeper understanding of the text. This is what is referred to as language patterns.

In my view, when words are interpreted on a picture, the meaning is much enhanced since the image has a visual aspect to support it.  To comprehend the message that the artist was trying to send, I analyzed the phrases painted on the artwork.

Answer:

Reading words and symbols on a painting can be difficult, because first we need to understand what the symbols mean and then connect these meanings with the words to form a story.

Reading words on a page is easier because they are arranged in an order that is easily understandable.

Industrial Revolution

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution destroyed the old division of society: clergy, nobility and commoners. There was a development of a bourgeoisie, a middle class who engaged in trade and other capitalist ventures. The wealthy bourgeois were factory owners, bankers, mine owners and merchants. Industrialization sharpened the distinctions between the middle class and the labouring class. Factory workers were the newest and most rapidly growing social group.

However the  Catholic Church unified Europe politically  through the process of acting as a unifying "leader" for Christians and it can be considered as a place people could come to for help they needed and the Church would be there, hence considering the case above it brought European Christians together to combat the spread of Islam.
