First Blog in forth quater 

Personally I have always been really interested in the Berlin wall, one of the major topics we have been discussing lately in class. This wall was built in a time of well segregation, Germany was split up into four different parts, one for each of the winners. (France, England, Russia and USA) The Russian sector was officially a different country with a communist rule. This was not something that the eastern germans wanted but was put onto them. They were forced into communism, most of these people did not enjoy this and if you said anything "bad" about the rule you would be taken care of by the national security of Germany. I would like to try to draw this over to the segregation their was of the black people in America. Both of these two cultures were pushed into a worse lifestyle then what they should have gotten. In Germany there were a lot of people who tried to get onto the Western side of the wall. West Germany was heavily influenced by america, which to Russia obviously was a threat. These were american ideals so close to Russia and communism. Even though i am not directly a supporter of communism i like to think that there are some things that are good about it, Russia just did not execute it properly.
