Life as a Child in Germany while World War Ii

This may be a touchy subject for many to read, but some of the things I'm about to tell you is real and a part of life many of us don't want to hear.

Although there are many articles published about World War Ii in Germany, not too many touch on the personal aspect of what it was like growing up as a child during the war. For those of you that are interested, this article may be for you.

About The Civil War For Kids

My parents were raised in Germany during World War Ii. When the war first started, my mum was only three and my father was eight. My parents left Germany as soon as they could after the war to start a great life in the States.

Woman of Valor: Clara Barton and the Civil War Overview

When the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton wanted more than anything to be a Union soldier, an impossible dream for a thirty-nine-year-old woman, who stood a slender five feet tall. Determined to serve, she became a veritable soldier, a nurse, and a one-woman relief agency operating in the heart of the conflict. Now, award-winning author Stephen B. Oates, drawing on archival materials not used by her previous biographers, has written the first complete account of Clara Barton's active engagement in the Civil War.

By the summer of 1862, with no institutional affiliation or official government appointment, but impelled by a sense of duty and a need to heal, she made her way to the front lines and the heat of battle. Oates tells the dramatic story of this woman who gave the world a new definition of courage, supplying medical relief to the wounded at some of the most famous battles of the war -- including Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Battery Wagner, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg. Under fire with only her will as a shield, she worked while ankle deep in gore, in hellish makeshift battlefield hospitals -- a bullet-riddled farmhouse, a crumbling mansion, a windblown tent. Committed to healing soldiers' spirits as well as their bodies, she served not only as nurse and relief worker, but as surrogate mother, sister, wife, or sweetheart to thousands of sick, wounded, and dying men.

Her contribution to the Union was incalculable and unique. It also became the defining event in Barton's life, giving her the opportunity as a woman to reach out for a new role and to define a new profession. Nursing, regarded as a menial service before the war, became a trained, paid occupation after the conflict. Although Barton went on to become the founder and first president of the Red Cross, the accomplishment for which she is best known, A Woman of Valor convinces us that her experience on the killing fields of the Civil War was her most extraordinary achievement.

My mother, who is now 70 years old doesn't talk much about the war as it brings tears to her eyes. It's a part of her life I think she would like to forget all together.

My mum was one of five children and initially lived on the Western edge of Poland. When Germany and Russia invaded Poland they were forced to move taking only the few possessions they could carry on their backs. Her father who was at that time in the military was unfortunately killed in the war. She never got the chance to know who her father was. Her mum was left alone with five children to feed and no home of their own.

They moved from home to home, protection to shelter, whoever would take them in. There was no money so my grandmother sewed clothing to sell to others in need. This little bit of money she earned was sometimes enough to get food for the family. Other times it was not and they were lucky enough to find other people that were willing to help them out with a meal.

Their food consisted of mostly cabbage and bread. Sometimes my grandmother would stand in line for a whole day for just one loaf of bread only to find out they were all gone when it was her turn to get some.

During this time, many families would take their children out of school at a young age - 12 years old for many so that they could go work and help the house survive. My grandmother despite the temptation would not allow this. Having her children get an schooling was too leading to her, so as her children slept she sewed and sewed to make what little money she could. For the children that did leave school to work, the most favorite places to work at were bakeries and any place that made food. This way at least you could bring some leftover food home to your house at the end of the day.

As they were continually pushed out of areas and constantly on the move, they lived in many shared rooms with other homeless families. It was all the time a constant search to find a house that would take you in. The rooms were usually divided by sheets and about the half the size of a garage. They slept on the floor many times on hay to cushion themselves from the hard floors. If they were fortunate enough, they got potato sacks to use as blankets and often had to share them. Other times they would find shelters which would be one big room filled with other families. It was never a happy place - you were surrounded by sadness from the people that lost loved ones. You heard constant crying and had to keep a close eye on your personal belongings so that they wouldn't be stolen. There were no toys to play with so the children learned to use their imagination to keep themselves occupied.

The children played face very close to home in the streets among the ruins. seeing dead horses and people in the streets was just accepted. They grew used to the sound of the sirens going off and running for protection where they would hide until it was over. Afterwards, it was off to playing again outside.

I remember my mum telling me how on one instance they were forced to evacuate fast because of bombers arrival in. everybody flooded to the streets with their families carrying what they could of their belongings on their backs. Some people had horses and other carriages, but the majority of them just had suitcases and bags of their most prized belongings as you never had enough time to get all things together. Surviving was the only leading thing. As they joined the crowds on the streets to move out suddenly the bombers came and started bombing the streets. The children were screaming and the parents would run for protection dragging their children behind them. I don't want to get too graphic here, but imagine being a small child of 5 to 7 years old watching people hit by bombs right before your very eyes or watching an additional one child you played with that day suddenly die.

The war was a terrible time for everybody together with the German civilians. You were forced to obey Hitler's rules either you liked it or not. Even after it was announced the war was over, on one chance my father watched a woman die before his eyes by the hands of a soldier because she happened to say "Thank god" and made a bad commentary about Hitler. Her throat was slit instantly. She was then strung up by a rope as an example so everybody could see what happens when you say something bad about Hitler.

It's sad, I know. But this is the reality of what it was like for many German civilians during World War Ii. Its no wonder so many of them wanted to come to America.

A Brief account of the Causes of the American Civil War

The American Civil War was a brutal friction which took place in the United States of America in the middle of 1861 and 1865 and still has serious repercussions to this day.

To understand why this break up of the Union occurred and how it led to a bloody struggle for four years that pitted house member against house member, here follows a brief summery of the polarised opinions that divided the economic and political attitudes in the Usa as the 1850's drew to a close.

About The Civil War For Kids

The Southern States of America, who are often referred to as Dixie were monopolised by grand plantation owners whose feudal and archaic views were predominant throughout the society. The source of their wealth came from the tobacco and cotton crops which were the mainstay of the Southern citizens.

At that time, the ask for cotton and lint throughout the world was heavy and guaranteed the Southern States prosperity, as long as the crops could be farmed economically. In order to do this, the plantation owners relied heavily on 'free labour' that was provided by the slaves who worked the fields. The South's riches were deeply rooted in slavery.

By the 1850's slavery was only practised in the South. It had been prohibited in the North which carefully it morally nasty and uncivilised.

This issue however, was not the only variation in the middle of the North and South. Because of it's agricultural success and wealth, the South had no motivation to fabricate any manufactures other than the output of cotton and tobacco. On the other hand, the North was industrially developed and was attracting vast numbers of European immigrants who added enriched the North with their array of skills, talent and knowledge. Population in the North were developing rapidly and were keen to advance into the New Territories.

The animosity in the middle of the North and South could be seen in the dispute over the New Territories. As the soil was being exhausted by the unrelenting cotton farming, Southern plantation owners were planning on spreading into the newly discovered Western Territories taking cotton and slavery with them. While most Northerners, except a handful of extremists, were ready to tolerate slavery in the Southern States, they were highly carefully to prevent it from being introduced in the Western Territories that would ultimately be admitted into the Union.

In 1860, the selection of Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, as the President of the United States of America, strengthened the Southern States' anxieties, particularly as Lincoln had been elected on a anti-slavery ticket. Now, not only the banning of slavery in the Western Territories seemed on the cards, but also the outlawing of this institution throughout the Us.

The South became worried for its time to come and began listening to extremists who advocated succession from the United States and the establishment of an independent nation. These fanatics asked, why should the Southern States pay tax and duty to the North, when her produce and wealth was thoroughly independent? If the South was allowed to keep hold of its earnings instead of enriching the North then, the radicals argued, the South would come to be highly prosperous. They stressed that the abolition of slavery would paralyse cotton output and threaten white supremacy throughout the South.

These views became beloved with Southerners who were convinced that the North's bulging economy and anti-slavery attitudes would ultimately threaten their way of life. They believed that if they did not act soon, then they would come to be the 'poor relations' to the North.

Southern moderates urged caution and were convinced that any move to independence from the Union would not be tolerated by the North and seen as unconstitutional. The moderates urged the South to wait and see what the implications would bring and just how the Federal government would move against slavery.

Much to the revulsion of Northern politicians, South Carolina was not ready to wait and on the 20th December 1860, she declared herself independent from the Union. South Carolina was speedily followed by Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. Together they formed the Confederate States of America and elected Jefferson Davis as their President in February 1861.

The Confederates States started to put together an army and when the newly inaugurated Lincoln attempted to supply the Union Fort Sumter in South Carolina the Confederates bombarded it. Lincoln's response was to call for a 75,000 man army in order to put down the rebellion and blockade Southern ports. This was interrupted as an act of war against the seceded states and Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and North Carolina split from the Union in pity and joined the Confederacy.

The Confederates believed that they could repel all attempts by the North to rejoin the Union and had confidence that their superiority as horsemen and gunmen would be sufficient to counter their market foes. The South also had faith that they could count on the sustain of England, who they believed would be keen to declare their mutual market interests.

Unfortunately, for the South, England had no desire to go to war with the North and had accumulated a large surplus of cotton for themselves over the preceding years. In expanding to this, England was not sympathetic to the slavery cause.

The South soon realised that she would have to proudly stand alone and fight to safe her lifestyle.

The Confederacy demonstrated ultimate bravery and a spirit for their fight, but, as ever their archaic outlook thwarted them. To be victorious in this war, they would need to adopt contemporary fighting methods and a company like arrival to administration. The communications, transportation, equipment, rations and curative supplies all required excellent co-ordination and administration and the armies would wish a strong backbone of highly skilled workers and modern, efficient factories to sustain them.

To retort these questions, we turned to a panel of seasoned anchors, Peter
Jennings, Maria Shriver, Linda Ellerbee, and Jane Pauley--each having faced the
complexities of raising their own vulnerable children in a news-saturated
world.

Picture this: 6:30 p.m. After an exhausting day at the office, Mom is busy
making dinner. She parks her 9-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son in front
of the Tv.

"Play Nintendo until dinner's ready," she instructs the minuscule ones, who,
instead, start flipping channels.

Tom Brokaw on "Nbc News Tonight," announces that an Atlanta gunman
has killed his wife, daughter and son, all three with a hammer, before going on
a shooting rampage that leaves nine dead.

On "World News Tonight," Peter Jennings reports that a jumbo jetliner with
more than 300 passengers crashed in a spinning metal fireball at a Hong Kong
airport.

On Cnn, there's a narrative about the earthquake in Turkey, with 2,000
people killed.

On the Discovery channel, there's a timely extra on hurricanes and the
terror they create in children. Hurricane Dennis has already struck, Floyd is
coming.

Finally, they see a local news narrative about a roller coaster urgency at a New
Jersey amusement park that kills a mother and her eight-year-old daughter.

Nintendo was never this riveting.

"Dinner's ready!" shouts Mom, unaware that her children may be terrified
by this menacing potpourri of Tv news.

What's wrong with this picture?

"There's a Lot wrong with it, but it's not that indeed fixable," notes Linda
Ellerbee, the originator and host of "Nick News," the award-winning news
program geared for kids ages 8-13, airing on Nickelodeon.

"Watching blood and gore on Tv is Not good for kids and it doesn't do
much to enhance the lives of adults either," says the anchor, who strives to
inform children about world events without terrorizing them. "We're into
stretching kids' brains and there's nothing we wouldn't cover," including
recent programs on euthanasia, the Kosovo crisis, prayer in schools, book-
banning, the death penalty, and Sudan slaves.

But Ellerbee emphasizes the necessity of parental supervision, shielding
children from unfounded fears. "During the Oklahoma City bombing, there
were terrible images of children being hurt and killed," Ellerbee recalls. "Kids
wanted to know if they were safe in their beds. In studies conducted by
Nickelodeon, we found out that kids find the news the most frightening thing
on Tv.

"Whether it's the Gulf War, the Clinton scandal, a downed jetliner, or what
happened in Littleton, you have to reassure your children, over and over again,
that they're going to be Ok--that the presume this story is news is that It
Almost Never Happens. News is the exception...nobody goes on the air
happily and reports how many planes landed safely!

"My job is to put the information into an age-appropriate context and lower
anxieties. Then it's indeed up to the parents to monitor what their kids watch
and discuss it with them"

Yet a new study of the role of media in the lives of children conducted by
the Henry J. Kaiser house Foundation reveals that 95% of the nation's children
ages 8-18 are watching Tv without their parents present.

How does Ellerbee view the typical scenario of the harried mother above?

"Mom's taking a beating here. Where's Dad?" Ellerbee asks.Perhaps at work,
or living separately from Mom, or absent altogether.

"Right. Most Moms and Dads are working as hard as they can because we
live in a community where one earnings just doesn't cut it anymore,"

Nbc News correspondent Maria Shriver, the mother of four--Katherine,
13, Christina, 12, Patrick, 10, and Christopher, 6--agrees with Ellerbee: "But
Moms
aren't using the Tv as a babysitter because they're out getting manicures!"
says the 48-year-old anchor.

"Those mothers are struggling to make ends meet and they do it because
they need help. I don't think kids would be watching [as much Tv] if their
parents were home organizing a touch football game.

"When I need the Tv as a babysitter," says Shriver, who leaves detailed Tv-
viewing instructions behind when traveling, "I put on a safe video. I don't mind
that my kids have watched "Pretty Woman" or "My Best Friend's Wedding"
3,000 times. I'd be more fearful if they watched an hour of local news.That
would scare them. They might feel: 'Oh, my God, is somebody going to come
in and shoot me in my bedroom?'"

In a move to supervise her own children more closely since her husband,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, became Governor, Shriver
scaled back her workload as Contributing Anchor to Dateline Nbc and set up
her office at home: "You can never be vigilant adequate with your kids," she
says, "because watching violence on Tv clearly has a huge impact on
children--whether it's Tv news, movies, or cartoons."

This view is shared by the American Academy of Child and juvenile
Psychiatry, which states: ""Tv is a excellent sway in developing value
systems and shaping behavior...studies find that children may become immune
to the bad dream of violence; gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems;
and resort to anti-social and aggressive behavior, imitating the violence they
observe."

Although there are no rules about watching Tv in 49% of the nation's
households, Tv-watching at the Schwarzenegger home is almost totally
verboten:

"We have a blanket rule that my kids do not watch any Tv at all during the
week," she notes, "and having a Tv in their bedrooms has never been an
option. I have adequate trouble getting them to do their homework!" she states
with a laugh. "Plus the half hour of reading they have to do every night.

According to the Kaiser survey, Shriver's household is a glaring irregularity to
the rule. "Many kids have their own Tv's, Vcr's and video games in their
bedroom," the study notes. Moreover, children ages 8-18 indeed spend an
average of three hours and 16 minutes watching Tv daily; only 44 minutes
reading; 31 minutes using the computer; 27 minutes playing video games;
and a mere 13 minutes using the Internet.

"My kids," Shriver explains, "get home at 4 p.m., have a 20-minute break,
then go right into homework or after-school sports. Then, I'm a big believer in
having house evening meal time. Some of my fondest memories are of sitting at the
dinner table and listening to my parents, four brothers, and my grandmother,
Rose. We didn't watch the news.

"After evening meal nowadays, we play a game, then my kids are in bed, reading
their books. There's no time in that day for any Tv, except on weekends, when
they're allowed to watch a Disney video, Sesame Street, Barney, The Brady
Bunch, or Pokemon."

Beyond safe entertainment, Shriver has eliminated entirely the selection of her
children watching news events unfolding live on Tv: "My kids," she notes, "do
not watch any Tv news, other than Nick News," instead providing her children
with Time for Kids, [Teen Newsweek is also available], Highlights, and
newspaper clippings discussed over dinner.

"No field should be off-limits," Shriver concludes, "but you must filter
the news to your kids."

Abc's Peter Jennings, who reigns over "World News Tonight," the nation's
most-watched evening newscast, emphatically disagrees with a censored
approach to news-watching: "I have two kids--Elizabeth is now 24 and
Christopher is 21-- and they were allowed to watch as much Tv news and
information anytime they wanted," says the anchor. A firm believer in
kids understanding the world nearby them, he adapted his bestselling book,
The Century, for children ages 10 and older in The Century for Young People.

No downside to kids watching news? "I don't know of any downside and I've
thought about it many times. I used to worry about my kids' exposure to
violence and overt sex in the movies. Like most parents, I found that although
they were exposed to violence sooner than I would have liked, I don't feel
they've been affected by it. The jury's still out on the sex.

"I have exposed my kids to the violence of the world--to the bestiality of
man--from the very beginning, at age 6 or 7. I didn't try to hide it. I never
worried about putting a curtain between them and reality, because I never felt
my children would be damaged by being exposed to violence If they
understood the context in which it occurred. I would talk to my kids about the
vulnerability of children in wartime--the fact that they are innocent pawns--
and about what we could do as a house to make the world a more peaceful
place.

Jennings firmly believes that coddling children is a mistake: "I've never
talked down to my children, or to children period. I always talk Up to them and
my newscast is accepted for children of any age."

Yet the 65-year-old anchor often gets letters from irate parents: "They'll
say: 'How dare you put that on at 6:30 when my children are watching?' My
answer is: 'Madam, that's not my problem. That's Your problem. It's
absolutely up to the parent to monitor the flow of news into the home."

Part of directing this flow is turning it off altogether at meal-time, says
Jennings, who believes house dinners are sacrosanct. He is appalled that the
Tv is turned on during meals in 58% of the nation's households, this according
to the Kaiser study.

"Watching Tv during evening meal is unforgivable," he exclaims, explaining that
he always insisted that his house wait until he arrived home from anchoring
the news. "You're darn right they waited...even when my kids were tiny, they
never ate until 7:30 or 8 pm. Then we would sit with no music, no Tv. Why
waste such a golden opportunity? Watching Tv at mealtime robs the house of
the essence of the dinner, which is communion and exchange of ideas. I mean,
God, if the evening meal table is anything, it's a place to learn manners and
appreciation for two of the most things in life--food and drink."

Jennings is likewise unequivocal in his view of junk Tv and believes parking
kids at the tube creates dull minds: "I think using Tv as a babysitter is a
terrible idea because the damn television is very narcotic, drug-like. Mindless
Tv makes for passive human beings--and it's a distraction from homework!

"My two children were allowed to watch only a half an hour of entertainment
Tv per night--and they never had Tv's in their bedrooms.It's a conscious
choice I made as a parent not to tempt them...too seductive..."

Adds Ellerbee: "Tv is seductive and is meant to be. The hard, clear fact is
that when kids are watching Tv, they're not doing anyone else!"

Indeed, according to the National create on Out-of-School Time and the
Office of study schooling buyer Guide, Tv plays a bigger role in
children's lives now than ever before. Kids watch Tv an mean of14 to 22
hours per week, which accounts for at least 25 percent of their free time.

"Dateline Nbc" Anchor Jane Pauley, intensely private, declined an interview
to discuss how she and her husband, cartoonist Garry Trudeau ("Doonesbury")
handle Tv-watching with their three teens, two of whom are fraternal twins.
But in a written response, she agreed that kids need to be good protected
from the onslaught of violence: "I was a visitor at a public elementary school
not long ago, and was invited to peek in on a fourth-grade class on 'current
events.' The assignment had been to watch the news and write about one of
the stories. Two kids picked the fatal charge on a child by a pit bull and the
other wrote about a child who'd hanged herself with a belt! They'd all watched
the worst blood and gore 'News at 11' center in town. The trainer gave no
hint that she was as appalled as I was. My response was to help the school get
subscriptions to "Time for Kids" and "My Weekly Reader." population need to be
better news consumers. And tabloid Tv is very unhealthy for kids."

On this point, Ellerbee facilely agrees:"I indeed do believe the first
amendment Stops at your front door. You are the boss at home and parents
have every right to monitor what their kids watch. What's even good is
watching with them and initiating conversations about what they see.If your
child is watching something terribly violent, sit down and Defuse it. Talking
makes the ghosts run...and kids can break through their scared feelings."

Adds Pauly:

"Kids," she maintains, "know about bad news--they're the ones trying to
spare us the bad news sometimes. But kids should be able to see that their
parents are both human adequate to be deeply affected by a tragedy like
Columbine, but also sturdy adequate to get through it...and on with life. That is
the underpinning of their security."

"I'm no scholar on the nation's children," adds Jennings, " but I'd have to say
no, it wasn't traumatic. Troubling, shocking, even devastating to some,
confusing to others, but traumatizing in that great sense, no.

"Would I justify to my kids that there are young, upset, angry, depressed
kids in the world? Yes. I hear the most horrendous stories about what's going
on in high schools from my kids. And because of the shootings, parents are
now on edge--pressuring educators to 'do something.' They have to be
reminded that the vast majority of all schools in America are overwhelmingly
safe," a fact borne out by The National School protection Center, which reports that
in l998 there were just 25 violent deaths in schools compared to an mean of
50 in the early 90's.

Ellerbee adds that a parent's ability to listen is more important than
lobbying school principals for more metal detectors and armed guards: "If
there was ever a case where grown-ups weren't listening to kids, it was
Littleton. First, don't interrupt your child...let them get the whole understanding out.
Next, if you sit silently for a join of seconds after they're finished, they'll
start talking again, getting to a second level of honesty. Third, try to be honest
with your kid. To very small children, it's permissible to say: 'This is never going to
happen to you...' But you don't say that to a 10-year-old."

Moreover, Ellerbee believes that media literacy begins the day parents stop
pretending that if you ignore Tv, it will go away. "Let your kid know from the
very beginning that he or she is Smarter than Tv: 'I am in operate of this box,
it is not in operate of me. I will use this box as a useful, excellent Tool, but will
not be used by it.' Kids know the difference.

"Watching Tv," Ellerbee maintains, "can makes kids more civilized. I grew
up in the south of Texas in a house of bigoted people. Watching Tv made me
question my own family's beliefs in the natural inferiority of population of color.
For me, Tv was a real window that broadened my world."

Ironically, for Shriver, watching Tv news is incredibly painful when the
broadcast is about you. Being a Kennedy, Shriver has lived a lifetime in the
glare of rumors and
televised venture about her own family. Presenting the news to her children
has therefore included explaining the tragedies and controversies the
Kennedys have endured. She was just eight years old when her uncle, President
John F. Kennedy, was assassinated: "I grew up in a very big shadow...and I
couldn't avoid it," she admits. "It wasn't a choker, but it was a big
responsibility that I don't want my own children to feel." Yet doesn't her 15-
year marriage to megastar Schwarzenegger add yet other layer of public
curiosity close to home? "My kids are not watching Entertainment Tonight--no,
no, never! And I don't bring them to movie openings or Planet Hollywood. I
think it's fine for them to be proud of their father, but not show off about him."

How does she emotionally deal with news when her family's in it? "That's a line
I've been walking since my own childhood, and it's indeed effected the kind
of reporter I've become. It's made me less aggressive. I'm not [in the news
business] to glorify myself at person else's expense, but rather to narrative a
story without destroying person in the process. A producer might say: 'Call
this person who's in a disastrous situation and book them right way.' And I'm
like: 'Ahhhh. I can't even bring myself to do it,' because I've been on the
other side and know the house is in such pain."

A few years ago, of course, the Kennedys experienced profound pain, yet
again, when Shriver's favorite cousin, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was killed in a plane
crash, with his wife, Carolyn, and sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette. A blizzard of
news coverage ensued, unremitting for weeks. "I didn't watch any of it...I was
busy, " Shriver says quietly. "And my children didn't watch any of it either."

Shriver was, however, somewhat prepared to discuss the tragedy with her
children. She is the author of the best-selling "What's Heaven?" [Golden Books],
a book geared for children ages 4-8, which explains death and the loss of a
loved one. "My children knew John well because he spent Christmases with us. I
explained what happened to John as the news unfolded...walked them through
it as best I could. I reminded them that Mommy wrote the book and said:
'We're not going to see John anymore. He has gone to God...to heaven...and we
have to pray for him and for his sister [Caroline] and her children."

Like Shriver, Jennings is personally uncomfortable in the role of covering
private tragedies in a public forum: "In my shop, I'm regarded as one of those
people who drags their feet a lot at the understanding of covering those things," he
explains. "During the O.J. Simpson trial, I decided not to go crazy in our
coverage--and we took quite a smack and dropped from first to second in the
ratings. Tv is a business, so when a real corker of a story like Princess Diana's
death comes along, we cover it. I think we're afraid not to do it. We're guilty of
overkill, and with Diana, we ended up celebrating something that was largely
ephemeral, development Diana more than she was. But audiences leap up!

"I was totally opposed to covering John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s funeral, because I
saw no need to do it. He wasn't a public figure, though others would say I was
wrong. On-air, I said: 'I don't think the young Mr. Kennedy would approve of
all this excess...' But we did three hours on the funeral and it turned out to be
a fantastic long history chapter about American politics and the Kennedy
dynasty's place in our national life.

"Sometimes," Jennings muses, "Tv is like a chapel in which we, as a nation,
can secure to have a public contact of loss.We did it with the
Challenger, more recently with Jfk Jr.'s death and we will do it shortly, I
suspect, though I hope not, with Ronald Reagan. It's not much different than
what population did when they went West in covered wagons in the last century.
When tragedy struck, they gathered the wagons around, lit the fire, and talked
about their losses of the day. And then went on. Television can be very
comforting."

In closing, Ellerbee contends that you can't blame Tv news producers for
the human appetite for sensational news coverage that often drags on for days
at a time:

"As a reporter," she muses, "I have never been to a war, traffic accident, or
murder site that didn't draw a crowd. There is a minuscule trash in all of us. But the
same population who stop to gawk at a traffic accident, may also climb down a well
to save a child's life, or cry at a sunset, or grin and tap their feet when the
parade goes by.

"We are Not just one thing. Kids can understand these grays...just as
there's more than one retort to a question, there is indeed more than one
part to you!"

The Civil Rights Movement for Kids: A History with 21 Activities (For Kids series) Overview

Surprisingly, kids were some of the key instigators in the Civil Rights Movement, like Barbara Johns, who held a rally in her elementary school gym that eventually led to the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court school desegregation decision, and six-year-old Ruby Bridges, who was the first black student to desegregate elementary schools in New Orleans. In The Civil Rights Movement for Kids, children will discover how students and religious leaders worked together to demand the protection of civil rights for black Americans. They will relive the fear and uncertainty of Freedom Summer and learn how northern white college students helped bring national attention to atrocities committed in the name of segregation, and they’ll be inspired by the speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. Activities include: reenacting a lunch counter sit-in; organizing a workshop on nonviolence; holding a freedom film festival followed by a discussion; and organizing a choral group to sing the songs that motivated the foot soldiers in this war for rights.

I knew the home my relatives were living in was quite old. It was placed in Eastern Pennsylvania . The main structure was built nearby 1840's. The main house was three stories and it had 15 Bedrooms. Each bedroom had a Fireplace. I didn't quantum the house but I would evaluation it at 8,000 square feet. The current structure and land included a tennis court, large pool, and very large 3-story barn. All of this was setting on approximately 20 acres. The primary land and structures included 25 coke ovens, and a lead casting foundry.

One of my relatives said he understanding the whole doing made cannon balls and musket bullets for the North while the Civil War. After that criticism I started looking for ways to study the area.

Fortunately the house had some very old pictures mounted on the walls, which depicted how the structures looked many years ago. It helped pinpoint where primary structure were located.

I continued to study the location. I was able to acquired added information on the history of the old house at the local grocery store. Working at the check out counter was a gentleman in his mid 70's. Vern had lived in the area all his life. His Father, mom and Grand parents lived in the area all their lives. Vern validated the property I was researching was a
Canon Ball and Bullet foundry while the Civil War.

It was time to break out my metal detector.

Prior to searching nearby the house, barn and foundry, I wanted to test my detector on soil conditions. I was passing the detector over the gravel drive when it sounded off. The target
appeared large. I dug down about 6 inches. It turned out to be a melted piece of lead. The item weight about 2 lbs.

I proceeded to hunt the area for two days. I found many pieces of Lead, including a integrate of pieces that could have been Cannon Balls. We found a few older coins, but nothing in 1800's. By the barn we uncovered some old tools, parts of older Automobiles. Also found were horseshoes, and nails. The old foundry was gated and locked up so we could not hunt it.

This outing was a fun time. Knowing what era the structure were and confirmation on the Civil War factory made the study fun.

Remember your treasure hunting outings will be more fun and profitable if you do the research.

Second, Bob Lutz, normal Motors Vice Chairman, has a blog to enumerate directly with his customers. It is an invaluable way to get prominent data out to the market. It is also a car for timely and literal, feedback. Other Gm executives are setting up blogs to talk directly to and get data from their employees. By comparison, Microsoft has over 1,500 customer and employee blogs.

Third, YouTube is an Internet overnight success story. It allows population to upload and share videos over the Internet. To date they have 100 million videos on their site and receive an additional one 65,000 per day. The enterprise was founded in February 2005, and was never profitable. Yet, Google understood the possible of their technology and purchased the enterprise nineteen months later for .65 billion.

While Gen X employees understand Internet, multitasking and instant communications, Generation Y members excels at use of these three tools, and they will use them to transform business. They will challenge every aspect of the workplace.

How do the dissimilar generational employees look managers?

Boomers: The boss is not all the time right, but the boss is all the time the boss. I will put in long hours to get ahead. If necessary, I will do so at the price of my family.

Generation X: The boss is not all the time right, but I'm not going to be here very long. I watched my parent's jobs be downsized or outsourced so I don't have the same loyalty to a enterprise they did. I'm not married to the company; I value my life covering of work.

Generation Y: The boss is not all the time right, but are they open to new ways to do business? Events like 9/11 and the Columbine High School shooting have taught us that life can be fleeting. The Internet as exposed us to new ways of approaching life and work. I want to flexibility, to be valued for my ideas and my work and I want time off to volunteer.

They are called Generation Y, as in "why," because they are constantly questioning the status quo. They are practically as large as the Boomer generation and are over 65% larger than the Generation X group. In the next twenty-five years 80 million Boomers will be retiring. As the Boomers retire, the Gen X employees will come to be the Gen Y's managers. However, because of their sheer size Generation Y will be the fantastic influence in the workplace for the next fifty years.

Generation Y fully embraces technology. Today's twenty-year-old college graduate was only five years old when the Internet was developed in 1992. They have all the time absolutely had the world at their finger tips. They grew up with instant messaging, text messaging, cell phones, iPods, Pdas, MySpace, YouTube, multitasking and blogging. They think, and act, in terms of instant communications. While Gen X employees understood and used these vehicles, Generation Y is totally immersed in them.

Baby Boomers changed the culture on civil rights, woman's rights, and gay rights. Their world was shaped by the Cold War. The members of Generation Y were born after the Civil possession Act was passed (1964), the gay possession movement started (1969), the first woman sat on the U.S. Supreme Court (1975), and the Berlin Wall came down (1990). The struggles many of us remember are acceptable facts in their world. Generation Y individuals embrace diversity as an acceptable norm and until recently knew nothing about war. Their world has all the time included diversity.

Each of us has memories of some modern tragic events: the Oklahoma bombing, the Columbine High school shootings, the World Trade town bombing, and three wars-Iraq, Afghanistan and the War on Terror. If you were a thirteen to fifteen year old, how would these events shape your thoughts about the future? In a practical way these Generation Y's remain optimistic.

Generation Y members are group-oriented, confident, goal-oriented and civic-minded. They have a more worldly view than Generation X'ers. These new employees have been coddled by their parents. As children they received trophies for simply participating on a team. Parents told them were special and capable of doing anything. Their non-school activities were scheduled (e.g., karate, soccer, etc.), and their parents were not afraid to call a teacher, coach or Boy Scout leader if they did not think their child was being treated fairly.

Generation Y kids have been raised with instant communication, unrealistic feedback and rapid decision manufacture as the norm. They believe they have the world in the palm of their hand. And, with their knowledge of today's technology they do.

So what can your managers do to get ready for Generation Y employees? Generation Y employees want to be heard and valued by their enterprise when they start with your company. They place a high value on house and flexibility and will volunteer their time to causes they feel are important. They are fearless and not intimidated by titles or corporate organizational charts.

They love range and are not afraid of change. If they think they have a good suggestion they will take possession of the idea. And, they will not be afraid to take the idea up the corporate ladder to be heard.

Successful associates must find ways to harness the new employee's talents, join them into the enterprise and turn ideas into a contentious advantage. Progressive associates understand that studying is a two-way street. Generation Y employees will revolutionize internal and external communications. associates have a lot to teach the Gen Y's, but they have a lot to learn from them also. That will be difficult in rigid, very structured companies.

Jack Welsh, former Ceo of normal Electric, stated that "...ebusiness knowledge is regularly inversely proportional to age and rank." Hiring, curious and retaining good employees have all the time been the hallmark of flourishing companies.

Successful associates today must found a culture of learning, sharing and embracing change. They will employ two-way mentoring, blogging, new training platforms, and new ways of hiring and promoting people.

Training Generation Y employees will change. Boring, all-day seminars will come to be less frequent. Generation Y employees will text message their friends while those seminars. They need the data in the seminar, but associates will have the training available in dissimilar platforms and in smaller "bite-sized" portions. These training modules will be downloadable to an employees' Blackberry, iPod or computer. The employee will view the sessions at home, or on a plane or listen to them in the car driving to an appointment.

This is an curious and dynamic time for business! convert will be constant, rapid and revolutionary.

Generation Y employees will convert how we look at hiring, turnover, mentoring, performance reviews, employee orientation, holding issues, and how we enumerate with our employees and customers. Are your managers ready for this new employee?

Questions for Discussion:

1. A new employee takes practically six months to "learn the ropes," and they will probably leave the enterprise within four years. How will your managers take full benefit of the Generation Y employee's creative energies?

1. What systems within your enterprise need to be reviewed to take benefit of these upcoming changes?

1. How can you dramatically convert the way you enumerate with your customers and your employees?

separation - What Happens to the Children?

Break up and divorce. Both are painful and difficult. Both partners put all that they had into the relationship, and then it's over. Whatever the reasons are for the divorce, the parting of ways doesn't have to be hateful and bitter. A breakup hurts everyone, not just the two population in the relationship. Friends, relatives, and even acquaintances have feelings about your separation, but children are the ones that suffer the most pain.

One of the worst things that you can do as a divorced parent is to verbally bash your previous spouse to your kids. When a separation takes place, children have their own perceptions of what has occurred, and a perception of both parents. They have a lot of emotions going on, and a lot of confusion. Whatever your previous spouse's faults and shortcomings were or currently are, remember that your kids aren't the source of those inadequacies. Why cause them more anguish in expanding to the hurt they already have?

About The Civil War For Kids

Kids of all ages feel the pain of a parental breakup. While an interview with Melissa Wooldridge,* she recalled that when her parents ultimately divorced after being separated for six years, it was a relief for eighteen year-old Melissa and her sixteen and twenty-six year-old siblings. Her parents had fought ferociously for as long as she could remember. Through their childhood and youthful years, her mum consistently said derogatory and ugly things to Melissa and her brothers about their father. Their dad said some significant things about their mother, but his verbal beating wasn't as disparaging as their mother's. The steady verbal butchering that their parents did to each other ultimately wore heavily on the kids. In time, and prior to his passing, Melissa and her brothers got to know their father as the good person that he actually was. Their father's insulting comments were out of worry about their mother's alcohol addiction. Their mum passed away five months before Melissa's nineteenth birthday, but because her mum vented her bitterness so violently again and again, Melissa doesn't have many good memories of her. At the age of forty-seven, Melissa still feels the pain of her parent's bitter breakup. She still has doubts about herself, and she has issues with trust and self-worth. Her oldest brother felt that he could never quantum up and not disappoint his parents. At the age of 29, he began drinking heavily and was murdered in a drinking making ready While an seminar with a friend. Her younger brother who is 45, is withdrawn and has become a somewhat of a loner.

It can be very tempting to vent your hurt and anger at your previous spouse to your children. Resist the temptation and find a way to express it to other adults or to a retain group for divorced people. Voicing destructive comments about the other parent in the nearnessy of your children is very harsh, and it tears down their confidence and self esteem. Most children love both parents, and they should not be coerced into loving one parent or the other. Actions of this kind approximately always backfire, leaving a trail of deep emotional pain. No matter what happens between you and your previous spouse, your kids should be encouraged to love and respect both parents without fear of hurting whether one.

Many parents aren't aware of the kind of damage that they do to their children by openly and brutally verbalizing their anger against each other. A well adjusted child will be reduced to being fearful and withdrawn. Some children repeat their parent's behavior with their friends, or as adults they repeat it when going Through their own divorce. Others are unable to have happy and fulfilling relationships of any kind with anyone, because the deep and disconcerting injuries that their parents inflicted on them made them doubt themselves as worthwhile and deserving people. Trust is an issue. They sometimes become dysfunctional.

The ages of the children are irrelevant. Kids are population too - very leading people. Their lives are based on being free to love both parents without repercussion. If you are going Through a separation and value your children's emotional well being, don't take that option away from them.
