MWP3 Article 2 Summary
In article two of my academic research for our third major writing project, the author displays the similarities between the racism in the 1936 german hosted olympic gamds and the 1904 olympic games held in St. Louis during the same generation. In the 1936 olympics, Hitler projected his Aryan Supremecy Iideals over every other race: while in the St. Louis olympics, general white supremecy was displayed. This trend of white supremecy would not only include racism against africans but also the thought of ultimate supremecy. As Sean Edgecomb implies during his article, “It was also during this period that organised movements of Nordicism and Germanicism, which favoured light-haired and light-eyed Europeans from the north and west of Europe over their Eastern European counterparts, fermented.” These supremecist thoughts and beliefs did not aspire out of thin air. They were indeed modeled from a country much younger than the european ones who implemented their very essance. Edwin Black suggests. “While Hitler’s race hatred sprung from his own mind, the intellectual outlines of the eugenics Hitler adopted in 1924 were made in America.”
MWP3 Precis 2
In his article "Inharmonious Pursuits: Pursuing Racism at the Olympic games" author Sean Edgecomb asserts that the influence of aryan racism has similar occurances and effects on our past actions. Edgecomb supports his idea by providing numerous historical events and comparing their structures to display the horrifying similarity. The authors' purpose for writing this piece is to inform people of just how alike our past events are with Hitler's aryan ideals. The intended audience for this piece is for those people with an avid interest in nazi racism and it's effects.

MWP2 Outline
Introduction: All around the world there is a
balance of give and take that keeps financial affairs on the fine line of
growth and stability. Unfortunately, this fine line has been desperately sought
after while we fight a financial recession plagued by high interest rates and
un-payable debts. With that value of each global currency decreasing mixed with
the higher cost of living that each country is demanding, debt and bankruptcy
seem nearly inevitable.
Definitions: Financial instability is where an
financial situation is overwhelmed by constant flux and setbacks. Higher
unemployment rates and foreclosures within a country is an example of what
financial instability could look like. It may also look like a family not being
able to survive with one job due to the insane cost of living.
Review of
Lit: Through each and
every article financial instability and economic growth ideas were closely
intertwined. To the uneducated person in this specific area it may seem odd
that these two subjects are closely related, but it almost every financial
situation it holds true. You cannot possibly hope to attain economic growth
without the chance of financial instability. This ideal has been corrupted by
major oil and credit card companies.
Argument/Analysis: Financial instability corrupts nearly
every major global power. Too much power is given to the credit card companies
and oil companies. This independent power brings the world to its knees.
Restrictions should be made and placed on these necessary evils of our modern
world so that we do not become a trade based global society.
Conclusion: Our old ways of life and old ways of
solving problems cannot solve this problem that we face in our modern times.
Drastic measures need to be taken to strip these corporations that cause
countries to be crippled. Resistance in unison on a global scale is needed for
any type of change to come.

MWP2 First Draft
Financial Instability: High Interest Rates
Financial instability may sound like an age old problem that is
easily solved; but the extreme difficulty in creating financial prosperity and
stability remains elusive. Too many people are worried about themselves and
their debt instead of focusing on the companies that put them into debt. Banks
and credit card companies should not be allowed to hike interest rates so high
that it literally suffocates any individual using loans or credit cards to pay
bills. Even in our financial recession, the interest rates on loans and credit
cards are at an all-time high, thus making it nearly impossible for a
struggling population to repay their debts.
The most dangerous threat is not the financial depression of
which we are currently suffering from; the most dangerous threat is the extreme
financial instability that is created by ever increasing interest rates and
random inflations of prices. These prices and interest rates are inviting
reckless people to take out loans and with the knowledge that they possess
little chance of paying the loans back. These high risk borrowers are forcing
bank companies to construct such specific and ludicrous contracts that require
potential borrowers to pass a screening test to qualify for a loan. With such
rigorous requirements to obtain a loan, more people are unable to receive the
financial aid that is needed to build a better world.
With decreasing amounts of money being leant to the population,
a countries economy is going to suffer and not grow. This implies that a
country will no longer be able to maintain a modern and inventive mentality
that the rest of the world is cherishing.
Loans may seem like the horrific bully of the financial crisis,
but in fact credit card companies are the true culprit for much of the general
public’s debt. Credit card companies are more than willing to lend money to
those who are less likely to pay the debt back for many reasons. One such
reason is the potential for mass gains in profit. A mass gain in profit may
occur when a payment is not made on time. This late payment is automatically
going to be increased by an extremely high interest rate on the next payment.
This pattern of higher payment after higher payment is a formula for disaster.
With payment after payment piling up, other bills also become late thus forcing
a person to file bankruptcy.
Although the doom and gloom seems like a never ending abyss,
measures are being taken to prevent the strangle hold that these problems
impose. Attempts at restricting the overall severity of interest rates have
made little affect. Even though the attempts to relinquish the grasp such
companies have failed, it also means we are one step closer to winning the
financial stability battle. Other possibilities to restrict the power of such
ruthless interest rates could be to make a maximum cap on exactly how high they
can raise their interest rates, should a late payment be needed.
Governments around the globe need to be defiant against these
modern day tyrants. If they are allowed to continue on their reckless and greed
corrupted paths, High interest rates on loans and other debts will ultimately
cause our global economy to be set farther back than anyone ever imagined.
Being set back so far could include the possibility of the global economy
morphing into a trade based market. A trade based market would include the
means of simply trading one person’s goods for the services of another person.
This proposal alone should be enough to ratify just how drastic of an effect
that high interest rates pose.
