...They started putting their beliefs into practice by teaching young girls that their purpose is to get marry to a German man and maintain a household.

This way, the state would increase the level of population in order to enhance the power of its military services. Besides, Nazis emphasized on the significant role of mothers in the society. The party tried to highlight it as the greatest honor a woman can have and put special importance on raising children. That is why the party created a slogan “Kinder, Küche, Kirche”, which claimed children, kitchen and church to be the most vital elements of a woman’s life. Women were supposed to be subtle homemakers, and producing Aryan children was their biggest and most valued task.

Frank relied on Lillian a great deal and referred to her as “Boss.” They collaborated on papers, speeches, lectures, and co-authored four books. They began their family soon after they married, and in 1910 moved to Rhode Island. Lillian, a mother of 4 by this time took her doctorate in psychology at Brown University. In 1912, they left the construction business and devoted themselves to "scientific management. The “one best way” philosophy became a way of life for the Gilbreth family. It could be achieved only by cooperation between individual people. Engineers, educators, physiologists, economists, sociologists, managers, workers, husbands, wives, siblings; at the very core of it all, there was the individual; his comfort, his happiness, his service, and his dignity.

...ETHICS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO ETHICS IN MILITARY Abstract Ethics and morals are used instead of each other in everyday life. However, there are some differences between these two expressions. Those who think that ethics is different than morals argue that ethics is more universal compared to morals. While moral is a national concept, ethics is considered to be a universal notion. It is observed that discussions on ethics in the public administration have been increasing in the world since 1970’s. Although corruption in the political-bureaucratic system has been considered to be a characteristic of underdeveloped countries, certain problems observed in the public administration sector of some western countries in 1970’s drew the attention of the public opinion and excited debates on ethics. The notion of ethics in the public administration as it is in the West has been drawing more attention in Turkey in recent years. The legislation regarding ethical infrastructure in the Turkish Public administration has been scattered until 2004. In this article, the developments of ethical issues are explained in legal framework and also, different approaches in military from different countries are compared. Comments are made on the differences and similarities of “codes of ethics” and “moral values”. Key Words: Business Ethics, Codes, Military, Morals, Public Administration.

...Education is often regarded as the greatest equalizer – it offers an egalitarian environment for all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or ethnicity to learn and to achieve. Once optional for students, higher education has become a requirement for prospective employees. However, as college education becomes a necessity for employment, its cost has risen dramatically in the past decades, deteriorating the once romantic view of education. According to the College Board, a non-profit organization, the cost of a public four-year university has nearly tripled from $7,938 to $18,943. Yet, there has been stagnant growth in purchasing power for American as workers gained a mere 49 cent in purchasing power from 1964.

This paper is about the newest addition to the King legacy, King Memorial Monument in Washington D.C. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington D.C For this week’s IP we were to write about a modern day cultural artifact that best represents the culture we live in today. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a brilliant man who stood up to fight for equality for African Americans in this country. Cultural Background Most people are already aware of who Dr. King was and what he stood for. His legacy will forever affect our society. Because without him we would not have an African American president, Blacks will probably still be treated as though they are second class citizens. Dr. King arranged marches, boycotts, and sit-ins. Even though he and his followers were often met with violence he continued to not lift a finger in anger towards anyone. Unfortunately some people still do think they was they did in the 60’s because they were taught that way of thinking by their parents or grandparents. Dr. King paved the way for Blacks to have the rights and freedoms of other men and he lost his life fighting for what he believed in. Making of a Memorial Dr. King was first recognized by the making of his birthday a legal holiday to be celebrated throughout the country...
