LEH 355

-        [Anything which] is a living and not a dying body... will have to be an incarnate will to power, it will strive to grow, spread, seize, become predominant - not from any morality or immorality but because it is living and because life simply is will to power... 'Exploitation'... belongs to the essence of what lives, as a basic organic function; it is a consequence of the will to power, which is after all the will to life.

-        From Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, s.259, Walter Kaufmann transl. 

 

The following quote to my understanding has the following meaning. To me this quote by Nietzsche means that anything in the world that has life is out to worry about itself to obtain the top priority, no matter what it has to do to accomplish its goal to reach the top. It will do anything to have an advantage over the next living thing. Also In today’s world we see this quote by Nietzsche in effect in a several of ways. We see it in Business, politics, school, work field, sports, life, etc... The reason why this quote applies today is because everyone has the aspirations of being the best, having the “Will to Power” as Nietzsche states in this quote above. As I wrote before that we see this in evidence in Business, politics, school, work field, sports, and life. This is because there are a lot of competition out in the in the world we live in today and everyone is trying to be the best for their future can be as easy as possible with the possibility of earning more money than the other person. As we are shown in sports, people tend to cheat their way even if they know that is not the right thing to do. But to assure that they will earn a bigger salary they go out and try to do whatever it takes to earn a bigger paycheck.

GERMANY"S ECONOMY

 

According to The CIA World Factbook Germany's economy is the 5th largest in the world. This is an estimate that illustrates that this country is one of the most demanding in the world. Not only this, but it also demonstrates that Germany has one of the most powerful economy in the world. It as well shows great promise for the people of its country by providing them with a minimum salary wage of $11 dollars. As from my reading I was able to get a better understanding of why Germany is considered one of the more powerful when it comes to their Labor Force. Which coexists from Agriculture products, Industry and Service. According to The World Factbook, among this country’s labor force the Service area has the highest of its occupation percentage at 73.8%, where the industry has a 24.6% and the remaining 1.6% applies to the Agriculture. The agriculture products contains “potatoes, wheat, barley, sugar beets, fruit, cabbages; milk products; cattle, pigs, poultry”. The Industrial is one of the “world's largest and most technologically advanced producers of iron, steel, coal, cement, chemicals, machinery, vehicles, machine tools, electronics, automobiles, food and beverages, shipbuilding, textiles”. In overall I believe that Germany is doing an outstanding effort during these tough time for the world’s economy issues. While on an estimate from 2013 a total of just 5.3 % of all of their citizens are unemployed. Since from 2008-2009 it was an all-time high since the World War II. To me is an illustration of a country that is making more and more strides to becoming even better, and more powerful in its economy.
