7a. 'Women were not valued by the Nazi party.' How far do you agree with this interpretation? Use the source and your knowledge to explain your answer. (7) Personally, I only agree with the interpretation of the statement to an extent. In the years of the Weimar Republic, women had a sense of freedom. They were able to wear clothing and be more independent before. However, women faced changing times when the Nazi party rose to power. Source A implies that the Nazi party had a strong hatred towards women and had a sense of pride in showing this publicly. The poster seems to reduce women, as she is working for the male character which suggests that the Nazis believed the female gender were of lesser importance than men. Published by the Social Democrat party, the poster would have been produced to belittle the Nazi party and try to steer women away from voting for the Nazi party. On the other hand, the Nazi party did value women a little. They were always considered to b...

7c Study Source A. Why was this painting published in Nazi Germany? 7 marks             The painting shown in source A was published in Nazi Germany as it put forward Nazi ideas about family structure. It introduces the model of the ideal Nazi family and is a method of propaganda as paintings like such would appear in books for school children.             From the source, the family members are easily distinguishable as 'Aryan' by their looks. Blonde hair with blue eyes -- Nazi views considered people with these traits to be 'pure' and have more authority over families who were not considered part of Hitler's race. The woman in the painting is following tradition by being a mother figure for the children, and the father is stereotypically supporting the family by going out to work, or educating fellow members of the public. With five children, this was the expected...

A Level Business Studies - Responding to a fall in industry capacity utilisation

-
Many car manufacturers are expected to respond to a fall in overall capacity utilisation in the industry by cutting prices. To what extent is cutting prices a good way for any business to respond to a fall in the overall capacity utilisation in its industry? Capacity utilisation is the percentage of total capacity that is actually achieved in a period of time. The extent to which cutting prices is a good way for a business to respond to a fall in capacity will depend on the price elasticity. This essay will look at whether it is good for all businesses or not. Cutting prices would lead to the product becoming more accessible. Reducing overall capacity utilisation means that the business will have higher costs as demand is lower; goods being sold will not have their revenue spread across the fixed costs. A Daihatsu car may work to combat this because a car is a luxury product and is price elastic, meaning that demand will change as the price does. A fall in selling price will mean...

A Level Religious Studies - Idiot's Guide to Naturalism

Idiot’s Guide to Naturalism Naturalism is the view that 1.      Ethical terms can be defined or explained using the same ‘natural’ terms we use in maths and science 2.      Morals can be based on the same kind of observation of the world as used in science 3.      All ethical statements can be translated into non-ethical ones Naturalists are absolutists . Morals are not about opinions and points of view and are objectively true . For example: ‘euthanasia is evil’ – they are expressing a moral truth, not an opinion. A person uses their senses and logic to conclude ethical truths. Moral truths are facts like numbers. You can conclude something is wrong from observation and analysis . Moral facts aren’t views or opinions, nor are they based on spiritual or intuitive sense. When you observe something is wrong, it’s a moral fact of the universe. Theological naturalists, like Thomas Aquinas,...
