    Germany Must Bear Responsibility for Starting the First World War, to a Large Extent. Do You Agree with This Statement? Explain Your Answer Using Your Own Knowledge of the Factors Causing the First Ww.

    I agree that Germany must bear responsibility for starting the First WW, to a large extent. There are three reasons why I say this. First, in the early 1870s, the German Chancellor Bismarck was the first to start the alliance system which was one cause of the First World War. Other nations only followed him. Second, the extreme nationalism (Pan-Germanism) in Germany made her desire to unite with the Germans in Austria-Hungary to become a

    To What Extent Do the Conventions and Codes of Film Noir Used in Double Indemnity Reflect the Social, Economic and Cultural Content of the Period?

    Double indemnity was made just after the war, during a period of time where men felt insecure, as women had become more powerful and independent. This is represented in the film by a negative portrayal of Phyllis. A common type of woman featuring in noir films is the femme fatale, which challenges the most traditional role of the woman and the nuclear family. She refuses to play the role of devoted wife and loving mother
