Provincializing Europe, “The West…it is evidently, a name always associating itself with those regions, communities, and peoples that appear politically or economically superior to other regions, communities, and peoples.”(3)However, one must wonder, if Europe really is beleived to be this superior place, why are they failing so miserably in regards to the refugees crisis? It seems that while everyone acknowledges there is a problem, but no one believes it is their responsibility to fix it. According to the article “How to manage the migrant crisis”, this whole problem could have been solved all along “if European Union countries had worked together, as Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, has always wished.” Instead it appears that Europe has been thrust into chaos and unless it restores its order “political pressure will force Mrs. Merkel to clamp down unilaterally, starting a wave of border closures.” This article goes on to suggest several different ways to manage this migrant crisis including the increase of aid to those fleeing civil wars or other dangers, reviewing applications for asylum while refugees are still in the middle east or where there are hotspots available, and by the sheer…

Ambition is something everyone has. Your ambitions strives and makes you achieve your goals. However, too much ambition can corrupt and destroy a person. Ambition is like a drug, small amounts can make you feel great, but too much can kill you.

One of these people is Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany. Merkel has constantly been determined by doing things that have been perceived as unattainable.

This power comes from her persistence through…
