Netherlands now: Holland

Article Abstract:

Holland has successfully eliminated discrimination in its society as evidenced by the government's policy of equal rights and the people's acceptance of cultural diversity. This condition resulted from the Dutch's trauma caused by tyranny and Nazism. The Dutch have always valued their independence and are determined to uphold equality and maintain a humanistic society. At present, Holland's population is a mixture of different cultures but all respect each other's differences and this common ideal serves to unite the citizens in their recognition of freedom and equality.

Article Abstract:

One of Swain great qualities was his ability to teach a sympathetic identification with the past, as well as the means by which the past could be known.
