I hope you don't think about this each day but if you need to know, it's per day. You typically hear it in business terms. In reference to allowance per day.It can be the rate you charge for work each day or even your per day allowance for expenses.
The phrase "per diem" means "per day" or "by the day." In terms of jobs, if the position itself is "per diem" it probably means that it is not steady work. Instead, they will, at best, be hiring you on days when they need you (sort of like substitute teaching would be).
Per diem can also refer to payments that you get in addition to your regular pay. For example, if you go off to an assignment somewhere out of town, your employer might give you a per diem for food and lodging. But it sounds like the first definition is more applicable in your case.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
