Living space


In different ways we're going to be working with ideas from Timothy Snyder's essay, "Hitler's world may not be so far away".

For those of you working directly with the essay, here is part 1: Hitler's world not so far away Part 1

If you have difficulty reading the text, try the podcast: http://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2015/sep/24/podcast-audio-longread-hitler-ethics-history)

Source of the original essay:
Snyder, T. (2015, September 16). Hitler’s world may not be so far away. Retrieved November 2, 2015, from http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/16/hitlers-world-may-not-be-so-far-away

For everyone else, I'd like you to think about the concept of "Lebensraum" - the space and resources we need in order to survive.

1) Write down everything you can think of that you (and most other people) need in order to live a happy and fulfilled life.

2) Write down the conditions required for these needs to be fulfilled.

Blog, email or use good old pen and paper to share your answers!
