Describe ONE continuity between the themes of Realist artists and writers and those of earlier European artists and writers of the 18th and 19th centuries.
One continuity between Realist artists and writers and those of earlier centuries is to use of art and literature to display the world as it truly is. As realism emerged the societal impact of the Industrial Revolution was being felt by many Europeans of the period. Realists used their art to display these societal issues much like neoclassical artists in the 18th century.
The statements contained in the North Atlantic Treaty (that created NATO) that it is designated for defense and that it recognizes the principles of the United Nations organization serve aims which have nothing in common, either with the tasks of self defense of the parties to the treaty or with real recognition of the aims and principles of the United Nations organization.
Of the great powers, only the Soviet Union is excluded from among the parties to this treaty, which can be explained only by the fact that this treaty is directed against the Soviet Union...
The North Atlantic Pact is designed to daunt the states which do not agree to obey the dictate of the Anglo-American grouping of powers that lay claim to world domination, though the untenability of such claims was once again affirmed by the second World War which ended in the debacle of Fascist Germany, which also had laid claim to world domination.
