In the book all quiet on the western front- what does paul mean when he says "it is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on be small men"?

In this excerpt, the author is saying that it is strange to see how a lot of unhappiness can be brought on by "small men," or men who are not particularly powerful. This applies to Kantorek, the teacher. Although he is not "powerful" as a teacher (in the sense of being celebrated or rich), he is able to bring a lot of misery to the world by persuading his students to join the war.

romeo and juliet, family means a lot more than a husband, wife, and 2.5 kids. "family" means everyone from the head of the household down to the lowly servants—anyone who could possibly owe any the capulets or montagues loyalty. if you're thinking "street gang" or "mafia movie," you're not too far off. that's why romeo and juliet's little love affair isn't just going to get them grounded; it's a betrayal of absolutely everything—like dating someone from a rival school or, yeah, a rival gang. we might think of family as a place of refuse and security, but, in romeo and juliet, kinship is more often a source of danger and battle.
