Interwar Period Essay

The interwar period was a period of time during the First World War and the Second World War. It lasted throughout 1919 and 1939. During this period of time, many things happened that considerably changed the country’s course. This was mostly based on economic problems. Germany was specially doing badly during this period as they had lost the First World War and they had to pay for war reparations which were an incredible high number. Luckily for the Germans, there cam Hitler and made them rise from despair, but that is just after the interwar period.

During the interwar period, the Treaty of Versailles was created and Germany was the one with most bad consequences. Beside the reparations, as mentioned before, Germany had to reduce its size to less than 100,000 men and land was also taken from Germany. Soon after this, the United States became what would be called the world’s banker and helped with the economic problems there in Europe. It was all going well until the unfortunate event of 1929 which was the Great Depression. The Great Depression hit the United States and as it was the world’s banker, many countries that participated in the First World War like Germany and the United Kingdom were affected by this event.

Here is where the economic problem arose. The Great Depression took many jobs away from people and lowered the economic state of many countries. Germany, who was at the edge of falling relied on Hitler to help them break through their economic problems. For the United States, they relied on President Franklin Roosevelt to help them rise from their economic demise. Franklin Roosevelt applied the New Deal and after giving jobs to the unemployed after some time, they finally got out of the Great Depression. Following this is the preparation of Hitler’s army and invasion to France breaking the Treaty of Versailles. This action was influenced by Benito Mussolini’s actions of fascism which led Hitler to its dictatorship.

If other dictators were ruling different countries, they could have changed the course of history. This part is assuming that the dictators would do the same actions they performed at their critical situations in other countries even if those actions would not be the most convenient at the time. If Francisco Franco would have been ruling France, at the beginning of World War One, he would have been allied with Germany making their chances of winning the war together. Even though, if they were loosing the war, he would have surrendered to the Allied powers and would have given them full cooperation of their part if he knew that Germany had not chance of winning. If Francisco Franco were to be ruling Germany, he would have tried to be allied with the most countries and then would have begun invading other countries.

If the other dictators (Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin) were to be ruling different countries, the first thing they would is eliminate any other enemy force that were obstructing their path to dictatorship and then convince their whole country with propaganda. The next thing to do is grow in military size after all this done, they would have invaded any other country and would struggle for world domination. In conclusion, power corrupts everyone making them want more to a point were even their own people doubt their ways, and that is the reason why Germany fell in both World Wars.

Prezi Reflection

Prezi is a new program in which you can do presentations. It was a new innovating idea which is a good thing, yet it lacked performing options. For one thing, you could not color an independent text by just selecting and and trying to change the color, nope, you had to get deep down into the system. Another thing it lacked was that there were only three options for the font. Another thing it lacked was the personal animation. Still, it had some good features like the fact that you have so much space to work in which makes it really easy to work with. I actually didn't find anything difficult after I knew how the whole thing worked. I probably didn't explore the whole program but from what I saw and know that it is still in its early stages, I know this program will become a great one.

If I had to choose either Powerpoint or Prezi I would choose PowerPoint because of a simple reason. That reason is that Prezi, even though it might grow to be a great program, at the moment it is not that developed as PowerPoint. PowerPoint is going to be useful probably for like two more years (that's it if Prezi grows like I think it will). Nevertheless, PowerPoint at the moment has more options to work with and therefore it makes it more useful and in this case my first choice over Prezi. Still, I think I will look up to Prezi as like said before, can be a great candidate for an awesome program.

PSA Video

Making a PSA was reallly annoying. The PSA only brought trouble to our life. First of all, the group I was with to create the PSA got punished because of fooling around. This means that we couldn't do anything during all the period we had available. Fortunately, our PSA was finished in a very short period of time the next day. In order to create the PSA we needed ideas. These were easy as they just pooped right through my head and I began talking to my group about it. In the end, the whole thing was really just a matter of minutes and complications were minimal.

There weren't many things I would like to change about my video but minor problems. One of these was the camera handling. The camera, as always, was moving from side to side and what I would have liked was that we had a camera rig, but that costs some money and in that time we had no funds. Another thing I would like to change was the editing at the end as that was not my job as part of the group and I think it could have been better.

Doing this PSA, my group was not alone. There were many more and truthfully, some were kind of good. Of course, we people making these PSAs are not skilled actors/actress or directors but I have to say, some were good. The only problem with all the videos inclluding mine was that nobody had a decent camera so that gave a very strange and fan made video look which makes it look unprofessional, but that was inevitable. I am not trying to say that my group was the best and all otehrs are bad here, but our team, in my opinion had the best storyline, clear voice, and drama, but allas, I can not choose my own group as the best. From all other videos, I think that the group consisted of Jorge and Taku was the best. This is because they portrayed the effects well of their subject and consequences. In a nutshell, it was the one that looked more professional.

My group consisted of me, of course.... Sebastian, and Rodrigo.

PSA

A PSA or Public Service Announcement is a kind of commercial in which you don't promote a brand but the actual use of that product in general for safety measures. A PSA might say that when having sexual activity use a condom but will not say a specific brand. This type of announcement is given by television, radio and newspapers. These PSA are given when things are beginning to look bad. PSA may sometimes be harmful to yourself as some say you must join the army and therefore you may go to war and die. Nevertheless, PSA are done for the greater good of your country.

I really dont know who to work with. I dont really have a preference but some of the persons i would like to work with is sny of the boys as i dont have much relationship to the girls in a strong way. Specifically, I would like to work with either Francisco Carmona, Sebastian Zermeno or Jorge Vital. The fact that none of them are close to my house makes this project harder than it is yet everybody else is almost as far as them. All of these boys are hard workers and are just easy to work with

5 PSA that are needed to be shown are:
-Drinking and driving
-Smoking
-Sexual intercourse
-Dont do anything in excess
-Eat healthy

I would probably choose the Drinking and driving, drug abuse (smoking) or sexual intercourse. Most of the problems in society are from these three and so therefore i pick them. I would start by showing the aftercause of their use and then say something like prevent them or so.
