The use of derogatory terms is something that is commonly use to compensate for the persons own insecurities and his own ‘lacking’ in certain areas. I am going make the reader aware of ther culturual significance in certain areas and how being rude, vulgar and incompetent can change the course of the world.

TheN’ word became a racial slur or originated from though its wide-spread use was used in the late 1800's.  Commonly used as slang between the periods of around the 1700- 1830’s onwards but rather to distinguish social class or a black persons place in society. It was thought by the people that owned the slaves that this term was acceptable and written by A Minister by the name of Hosea Easton wrote that it was a perfectly acceptable for definitions of a black person in that timeframe. The N word these days are commonly used in music videos for people who actually don’t know the history behind such a powerful word. The word has changed the way people in the Western Hemisphere view African Americans as often gang affiliated or around the culture of drug and alcohol abuse. Many view Malcolm X as a violent protester, I believe as do many of that time believe he realised the power of the media and its uses to persuade the common man and the main body of opinion and thought. One of his famous quotes is such that reflects a lot about the black civil rights movement and of course refers to black people exclusively.  There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time”. This quote and others have the power to separate the world we live in , Categorise it into good and evil, light and dark such things are mundane when trying to perceive the world however. Wars can be won with words, they can also be the start of something greater then those fighting them can ever realise. Change in that time period all it required would require 3 things
- A scape goat
- A lie
- A river of blood
these are all they need to change history.  In this case Malcolm X was the scape goat being the front of this movement and therefore responsible for the movement. The lie was that black people didn’t have any rights apart from basically living. And the river of blood was all the violence that preceded the main events of the movement was The River of blood. In summary Western Civilisation will never be the same thanks to people of the same character as Mandela and Malcolm X.

The word Nazi is as widely known as it is how to breathe. It is commonly used today as a slang to distinguish certain people as tough, cold and authoritarian in how they act towards disobedience. The words origins are easy to trace however. The word Nazi is based on the first two syllables of the German word Nationalialsozialist. The term 'Nazi' was in widespread use in Germany as a mildly derogatory term in the early 1930s. It was inspired by the use of 'Sozi' for socialists.
Note:
  1. In German the word is a noun only, and cannot be used as an adjective.
  2. In some dialects in southern Bavaria the word predates the rise of any National Socialist party or ideology, and means a (comically) clumsy man, buffoon.
So really the words origins don’t really reflect its common entity it represented (Nazi Army) now as this word became associated with politics it spiralled out of control Nationalialsozialist Party gained military favour with their self proclaimed ‘Fuher’ or supreme leader Adolf Hitler. swayed many Germans to his way of thinking which was all races which were not Of Aryan decent were inferior and deserve little compassion and therefore should be eliminated. As Hitler gained support the racial tensions between the Germans and the Jewish escalated until the Germans rounded up the Jews and marched them into concentration camps to await their death from hard labour, starvation or gas etc. And of course the same text applies to this as well. A scapegoat, a lie and a river of blood which almost drowned the entire world.

The connection between these words and how they came about are unrelated but if you look at it closely enough it all started with a person who couldn’t control power or people who had to much of it, nevertheless there is no argument that being a racist , vulgar and incompetent and insecure has changed the world. Now everything has to start from something.
