What is the difference between acting stubborn and being determined?

Both relate to closed-mindedness..... however, 'stubborn' is used in the context of ideas and views or ways and means whereas 'determined' is used only with regard to the purpose or objective. Being stubborn is a behavioral pattern whereas being determined is a state of mind.

I think stubborn is downward and with a narrow look; and well determined is for brighter, broader and wider looking with higher scope, range and quality.

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.
