He tried to show this through the military, by build up all of his forces. He also wanted them to know that his government was better than theirs, by doing his best to show off his government. Stalin differed on his goals. He wanted a worldwide revolution, or comintern. “In 1928, he proposed the first of several ‘five-year plans’ aimed at building heavy industry, improving transportation, and increasing farm output.” ( p. 542 ) These were three of many of his goals within his five-year plans.…

Transcendentalism was a literary movement in the first half of the 19th century. The philosophical theory contained such aspects as self-examination, the celebration of individualism, and the belief that the fundamental truths existed outside of human experience. Fulfillment of this search for a higher state of being came when one gained an acute awareness of the world and the truths it holds. To do this you must achieve an understanding of nature to reach an elevated state of spiritual existence. The two most prominent authorities on the philosophy are Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The Father of Transcendentalism”, and Henry David Thoreau. “Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.”( Anis Nin). Just as Anis Nin another Transcendentalist describes the ability for dreams to pass into reality. Emerson’s ideas embody the dreams of this quotation having enormous potential to change the world. But it is Thoreau who puts these ideas of Emerson’s into reality with his own perception of how the world should be perceived. By comparing Emerson’s “Nature” and “Self Reliance” and Thoreau’s “Walden” and “Civil Disobedience”, we can see the ideals of this philosophical movement in history and how one could not exist without the other.…

Stalin introduced a series of economic plans for the people. His most famous, and perhaps most effective, being the Five Year Plan. Stalin forced everyone to merge their farms and skills to join a farm owned by the state. Here, each worker contributed equally…
The criminal justice system is a group of institutions that work together to protect a society, prevent and control crime, and maintain justice; enforcing the laws regulated by society. As the years have gone by and society has evolved; so have the criminal justice system and its methods to accomplish its role in society. This short analysis will evaluate the main facts that have been affecting the criminal justice system for decades and have influenced the evolution the justice system is enduring in a changing society (Muraski, 2009). Amongst the changes in the system, we will discuss the effect the changes have had on the citizens and how their perceptions have evolved as well.…

The first plan, which was from 1928-1933 focused on heavy industry such as coal, steel, oil and gas. Dams and hydroelectric plant where built for factories. Workers were assigned to factories individual. Safety standards were ignored, Stalin just wanted people working day and night. That is why workers where heavily regulated meaning that they were fined or even fired (losing their houses) if they did not come to work. Propaganda companies urged worked to work as much as they can, rewarding them and even posting their faces on the New York Times. Although many died to working a lot, diseases and illness. The production did increase between 1928 and 1933 coal increased by 35.4 million tons to 64.3 tons. Stalin stated that Russia was a 100 years undeveloped but by 1938, it had crushed Britain and Germany. Towns and cities where expanded, however the housing conditions where poor. A lot of the families lived in two rooms. In 1932 Stalin had announced the plan had achieved the…
In 1928 Stalin had faced three problems in the agricultural sector of the economy. Firstly, the production of food was not keeping up with the demand and the urban centres were suffering food shortages. Secondly, the industrialization program, Stalin planned for the Soviet Union could be only carried out if it were able to…
Stalin modernized Russia’s agricultural status, employing methods of collectivisaion but this came at the price of dekulakisation and famine - a huge cost. Firstly, Stalin realized that despite the fact there were 25 million farms in Soviet Russia, they were ‘primitive and undeveloped.’(Stalin, 1928) He saw the need to use the masses to not only feed themselves, but the rest of his growing nation, and to this end decided in 1928 to collectivize the farms of Russia, bringing many positive impacts. In 1930, already 50% of the country’s farms had been collectivized, and at this time, ‘even enemies are forced to admit that the successes are substantial.’ (Stalin) The collectives were successful on paper, with grain collections rising from just under 11 million tons in 1928/29 to over 31 million tons in 1937/38. This positive was clear, but it came at a massive price, which overshadowed the brilliant work of the collectives. Standing in the way of complete compliance for the collectivization program were the kulaks. As collectivization meant the loss of their wealth, they revolted,…
To what extent were Stalin’s 5-year plans successful in achieving rapid industrialization in the Soviet Union in 1928-1940?…
In the first five year plan Stalin focused on radip industrialisation. He demanded a 200% increase in iron production and a 335% in electrical power. To do this Stalin used alot of prisoners as they were cheap and in a large supply. If a worker was found guilty of treason for any reason they would either be shot or sent to forced labor on the Baltic Sea Canal or the Siberian railway. In Soviet Union workers constructed damns,roads,railways and canals which all helped to expand the industry and manufacturing. Although factory output soared as a result of the first Five year plan the agricultural production was damaged. In 1932, grain production was 32 % below average whic resulted in a widespread famine.…
Firstly, due to the focus of the five year plans being on heavy industry, they were largely successful in transforming it. The output of coal increases from 35 to 75 million tons and iron increased from to 19 million. This shows that the 5 year plans had a big effect on the heavy industry and in order to do this they must have transformed it in some way. One of these ways was that massive industrial centers were built in previously isolated areas such as Magnitogorsk and Dnieper. Many of the programs that were not necessary for the growth of heavy industry were shut down in order to make Stalin's demands of the 350% increase in output possible. The second 5 year plan also was successful in massively transforming heavy industry and saw Russia rise to just below Germany in terms of the most steel-producing countries in the world. One of the ways in which this was done was the fact that targets were set for factory owners and there were severe consequences for not achieving these targets. Although it led to some corruption, overall it had a positive effect due to the fact that it encouraged the workers to work harder and thus increase output. The third 5 year plan, although only lasting 3 years due to the German invasion in 1941 was also reported to have helped achieve a 12-13% increase in annual industrial growth over the 1930s.…
