Early Life and Education Zarah Leander was born as Zarah Stina Hedberg in Karlstad, Sweden on March 15, 1907 (Koepnick, 2002). Leander was a famous actress and singer of Nazi Germany during the Third Reich (Ascheid, 1999). Early on, Leander began her career in Sweden as an actress in both films and staged acts (Lunde, 2011). According to Ascheid (2003), Leander also was a recording artist that had songs in many different languages such as in French and in her native language, Swedish. Although Leander was in the film and music industry, she was not very well known beyond the proxemics of her homeland in Sweden (Ascheid, 1999). In 1936, Leander was first discovered by the German film industry for her staged musical role in Axel an der Himmerlstür, which took place in Vienna (Ascheid, 1999). This was Leander’s first German language role (Acheid, 1999). The German film industry was in search for a female icon that could replace Marlene Dietrich for her lack of role as a diva (Ascheid, 1999). Leander was viewed as a remarkable woman, who had the capacity to appear dangerously seductive while still remaining pure and innocent (Ascheid, 1999). Although Leander was not German, her double-image persona aligned with Nazi ideologies. In 1936, Leander was then signed off for a contract of three films by the German film industry, Ufa (Ascheid, 1999). She was also offered a reward of 200,000 Reichsmark (Ascheid, 1999). Leander’s first project with Ufa was for a film called Zu Neuen
The influential career of Leni Riefenstahl has been a point of great contention amongst scholars and filmmakers over the last few decades. The legacy Riefenstahl leaves behind are her achievements and failures of her
The major influences that led to Leni Riefenstahl’s rise to prominence includes a fateful event that kindles her fascination with film, the continual influence of mountain (Berg) films and acclaimed director Dr Arnold Fanck as well as her first début as a director and producer.
By comparison, with Triumph of the Will, Olympia bears a much closer resemblance to a documentary film during the event of the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Goebbels saw this as an opportunity to show the world of Germany as a triumphant nation and thus used Riefenstahl to the Nazi Party’s advantage to document the games. Critics have argued that her work is characterised by the adherence to Nazi’s values and aesthetics, which is evidenced through the ideological themes seen in the film. Although Riefenstahl defends Olympia as an “art film” claiming that “other films were propaganda, not this film”. It is clear that it subliminally promotes the doctrine of the ‘Herrenvolk’, evidenced by the heavy focus of the near perfect human form of the elite
As a film director Riefenstahl claimed to have opposed Hitler’s initial demands to direct “Victory of Faith” and “Triumph of the Will”. Though this places question on why she hesitated to undertake this task at first. Due to her persistence for what she loved to do which is clearly exemplified in her earlier childhood, this supports the idea that she had a reason to decline. In Source E Riefenstahl does not seem to be pleased or passionate in anyway when shaking hands with Hitler after being referred to as his”favourite cinematographer”, Riefenstahl body language of lowering her face lightly downwards,
A professional educator will actively view the child’s in association with their family and environment. They need to be viewed in context with their family as this will make the educator aware and respect the values and culture of each family and student. Principle 2 of the EYLF mentions ‘Learning outcomes are most likely to be achieved when Early Childhood Educators work in partnership with families’ (EYLF, 2009, p12). This is mostly effective when a successful educator uses strategies that actively involves the family, by introducing families to the classroom through plan programs that invites parent input.

The character of Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is uniquely complicated. Although it may seem as his personality is straightforward and easily comprehensible, his character sketch is symbolic and controversial. Throughout the novel, his behavior significantly changes. Changes in expression of Dimmesdale and other characters uncover the beauty of Hawthorne’s ambiguous style greatly. Reverend's identity changes from a physically ill person who is concerned about his position in the society to a suffering and conflicting personage.
A question that has been asked since the foundation of our country was made is, “Can the death penalty be considered Constitutional?” Thomas Jefferson was known to have written letters with the same topic. Now only thirty-one states, along with the federal government, still believe that the death penalty is within the boundaries of the Constitution. Twenty executions of the death penalty occurred last year, 2016, and approximately 1500 have since the 1970s (Pennekamp).
• Authoritative parenting is attentive to their children’s needs and will typically forgive and teach versus punishment for the child’s short comings. The result is the children have a higher self-esteem and independence. This is most recommended parenting style by experts.
There are several different organisations that provide Early Years education for children aged 0 – 5 years. Whilst some provide the entitlement from birth, some provision work in conjunction with others and entitlement starts from the age of 3 years.
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson found out they were expecting a baby and grew very excited. Their excitement disappeared quite rapidly when they received the news that Mr. Thompson would be going to Iraq. Mrs. Thompson began to stress about her husband well-being while at war and his absences of the birth of their first child. Even though Mr. Thompson was away he made way to communicate with his wife, whether it was via e-mail or brief phone calls. Mrs. Thompson dreaded receiving news that her husband was killed or wounded in the line of duty. Anytime she thought she heard a vehicle pull up she grew anxious. She did her best to avoid “war talk” from her coworkers and the media. As her anxiety built she began to be stressed. At only 6 months Mrs. Thompson went into premature labor. She was so scared and nervous because she was alone. She feared the death of her child and experiencing without her husband. She continued to stress about Mr. Thompson finding out about their son and will he be able to come home for family emergency. She grew at ease when she found out he will be coming; however, she was unaware of the timeframe. Once Mr. Thompson arrived she was relieved to have someone by her side. He was able to stay on leave for 14 days before he had to return back to war. Mrs. Thompson was enthusiastic about the improvement of their baby and his discharge from the hospital. Now that they are discharged, Mrs. Thompson still worries about her husband at war and the health
The costs of this expansion will mostly go toward labor, as labor is the single largest component of costs for early infant and toddler care centers (Marshall et al., 2004). For teachers to stay invested in the children they teach and care for, they must be fairly compensated to maintain the high quality of care. According to a study in Massachusetts, 72 percent of typical full-time, full-year center expenditures go toward labor (Marshall, et al., 2004). In dollar amounts, “average expenditures per child care hour were $4.42 for centers serving infants and $4.28 for centers serving toddlers. These correspond to full-time care expenditures of $10,343 and $10,015 for the two groups of centers [infants and toddlers, respectively]”
“Literacy learning has a profound and lasting effect on the social and academic lives of children. Their future educational opportunities and career choices are directly related to literacy ability. Since early childhood is the period when language develops most rapidly, it is imperative that young children are provided with a variety of developmentally appropriate literacy experiences throughout each day, and that the classroom environment is rich with language, both spoken and printed. Early childhood teachers are responsible for both understanding the developmental continuum of language and literacy and for supporting each child’s literacy development.
There are multiple factors in a child’s development. Parents have a responsibility, as well as a privilege, to contribute to every milestone. Most parents stress over physical and mental stages so much so that play-time is ignored. By making decisions that sacrifice play parents hinder their social development. Parents must take action and encourage their youth to play more, before childhood is lost forever.
