Excerpt from Society and Solitude (excerpt II)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
2 It by no means follows that we are not fit for society, because soirées are tedious, and because the soirée finds us tedious. A backwoodsman, who had been sent to the university, told me that, when he heard the best-bred young men at the law school talk together, he reckoned himself a boor; but whenever he caught them apart and had one to himself alone, then they were the boors, and he the better man. And if we recall the rare hours when we encountered the best persons, we then found ourselves, and then first society seemed to exist. That was society, though in the transom of a brig, or on the Florida Keys.
From the above paragraph 11 from Society and Solitude by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the main point the author is emphasizing on is that "individual has one idea about himself when he or she is with set people but have another set of plan or idea when he is with just a single individual.
Life in West Germany was a lot better than the life in East Germany.
One of the major differences was the freedom: of opinion, speech and press. Eastern Germans were spied on by the state (especially by the Stasi police) and one never knew whom one could trust; often family members were recruited to spy on their relatives, and houses were bugged. Also the punishment for any sign of favoring the west over east was severe, and there were cases of forced labour and even torture.
Additionally, Western Germany was richer and had access to many goods that the East didn't, most specifically western goods.
Also, the East Germans didn't really emigrate; they weren't allowed to. They had to escape and the pushiment for being caught escaping was also high (from loss of work opportunities forever to imprisonment)

When the Western Roman Church split in 1378, at one point there were three people who claimed to be the rightful pope at the time, which obviously caused some troubles because all of them were relentless in their convictions. Thus the credibility of the pope was brought into question. The reason for it was that the Avignon Papacy was ended, and the seat of the Pope brought back to Rome, which caused two sides (those anti-pope in Avignon and those for a Roman pope) to fight all the time, which affected the Catholic Church as well. All this was settled by the Council of Constance, which started in 1414 and lasted for four years.
