Why the EU will continue to be a pivotal organization for Germany in the 21st century.
1. The EU acts as a cheap international marketplace were other countries can effectively buy German goods which in turn has lead to Germany being very prosperous.
2. Within the protection of the EU the German population does not need to fear tariff or trade wars. Allowing them to sell their goods as competitively as they can and if other countries cant keep up then too bad for them.
3.The EU gives Germany a good reputation with other countries that would otherwise hate them for past transgressions.
4. The EU provides the Euro to Germany which unites them with the rest of Europe through currency.
5. The EU allows and has allowed free movement for citizens of all nations in the EU to all other nations of the EU meaning even if Germany wanted to separate and reorganize it would be difficult to get all the Germans back in Germany and all of the non Germans out of Germany.
6. Being involved with the EU is what will allow Germany to remain a global competitor with the rest of the world.

Discussion on Monday
We discussed All Quiet on the Western Front in class on Monday. We discussed how the book was incredibly popular in a time when very few books were getting international attention. One of the factors that caused the books success was the fact that it went so global. In class the professor asked us if we thought the book was an anti-war book and our answer was a nearly unanimous yes. We discussed how the death of every character in the book and the cause of the lost generation being the war. All in all this book is undoubtedly one of the most influential novels of all time and is without a doubt relevant in some way to any person on earth.
