Thesis:
People are equal, so they should enjoy equal rights.
Antithesis:
Each human being is genetically unique, and each possesses certain abilities in the intellectual or emotional field to a greater or lesser degree than others. This inevitably results in different rights.
These:
Menschen sind gleich, daher sollten sie auch gleiche Rechte genießen.
Antithese:
Jeder Mensch ist genetisch einzigartig und jeder besitzt bestimmte Fähigkeiten auf intellektuellem oder emotionalem Gebiet in höherem oder geringerem Maße als andere. Daraus ergeben sich zwangsläufig unterschiedliche Rechte.

Das 19. Jahrhundert gehörte Deutschland, es war die Zeit eines unglaublichen Aufstiegs. “In 1785 there were 1,225 periodicals published compared with 260 in France. In 1900 Germany had 4,221 newspapers. France roughly 3,000 (and Russia 125). In the early nineteenth century, when England had just four universities, Germany had more than fifty… Germany took the lead in the establishment of scientific societies in the early nineteenth century… and [German] became the leading language of scientific scholarship… In 1900 more books were published annually in German than in any other country in the world. In 1900 illiteracy rates in Germany were 0.5 percent; in Britain they were 1 percent and in France 4 percent.” Aufstieg und Niedergang am Beispiel Deutschlands und der Vereinigten Staaten weiterlesen
