Reunification

The reunification of East and West Germany was seen by many as the beginning of modern day Germany and an infused German culture. The fall of the wall brought about the crash of two very different lifestyles, both of which trying to show the other the way they have lived. The West and East both wanted to welcome each other, but retain their own individuality. While the West had been living a cozy life of capitalism boosted by the Marshall Plan, the East lived their own life under socialist government. The positive of the clashing of the two cultures brought about the current age of Germany. While Germany is the economic power of Europe, you can still tell East Germans from West. The West German's seem to be more outgoing and sure of themselves. Easterners are more likely to follow an order or going along with an idea. This is a clear reflection of growing up in different government systems.
