Types of Resistance [Brochure]. My teacher gave me a paper on the types of resistance that existed at the time of The Holocaust. Back then conditions were unimaginable for the Jews but people still found the courage to fight back as much as they could even if that meant they’d meet death sooner. This paper was a nice change of pace from all the websites and it also taught me that people did fight back and not just gave in like some websites state. The Camps.
. Was the Reichstag Fire more important than the Enabling Act in allowing Hitler to consolidate power? The activities of the SA were to make sure Nazi meetings were safe and undisturbed. Besides that, the SA is supposed to disrupt other political meetings and support Hitler and the Nazis. Finally, the SA’s activity is also to put fear on the street to get votes for the next elections.
The people that Shelton killed are considered combatants because they support they governmental system and work with it. Based on Just War Theory, the proportionality of killing these people is that their deaths are outweighed by the justice that will bring to the judicial system. Shelton believes the system to be corrupt, focusing instead on conviction rates rather than making sure the right person is placed behind bars. By killing these people Shelton can put a new mindset into the “system” because those affected by the killings will want the right man punished rather since they now know how it feels to be wronged. All the killings made by Shelton were to people who were directly showed how flawed the system was.
The Germans’ interests are to obey Nazis orders so they would not have to be at fault for being against the laws of Hitler. Few Germans weren’t for the Holocaust and the extermination of the Jews, but most of Germanys population were. They just went along what they were told to do. The Jews interests are to live and get away from the Nazi rule. The other actors that are responding to the Milgram Experiment are : The learner, the teacher, and the person who is conducting the experiment.
Based on the Best Bet theory we can assume that the risk of losing one’s own life and any potential to ever see freedom again is just as good of a punishment as any other. If not using capital punishment reduces how many are deterred and does not reduce the number of innocent lives taken we too are responsible for the loss of those lives. We are responsible not only for our own direct actions but also for our inaction and the consequences of it. Objections to the death Penalty: Objection 1: “Capital punishment is a morally unacceptable thirst for revenge.” Revenge is a personal response, done out of anger and hatred, which inflicts harm to the perpetrator. Retributivism is an unbiased and impartial response to a perpetrator that has wronged another.
People knew someone would always listen to what they were saying and very few spoke bad words about the Nazis. If they did, then they would be sent to a concentration camp (and in 1933 Dachau concentration camp opened) Germans knew they were horrible places and didn’t want to go. People didn’t want to break the rules if their friends and families were put in danger. Because informers created so much fear in Germany, I think this was one of the main reasons for the lack of opposition to the Nazi rule. I don’t think that propaganda was the main reason for the lack of opposition because, although there was a lot of it, people could ignore it, they didn’t have to believe it.
The little evidence they had was circumstantial and was hard to believe. However, authorities along with the people did not see any issues with prosecuting fellow members of the society based on this improbable evidence. Their preconceived notions as well as the mass hysteria blinded and clouded their sound judgment leading them to make bad decisions that did not only affect them, but ruined other’s lives forever. In conclusion, Miller’s personal opinions about the McCarthy trials greatly influenced his writing of the Crucible. He saw an undeniable connection between them, two instances where in his opinion pre conceived notions of higher authorities ruined the lives of many people.
Overall, I think filling the safety complaints was a great choice and that he did the right thing in doing that. The company violated OSHA and didn't take the complaints seriously. They also violated the employee by not acting on a serious issue. The courts verdict would reflect my job in this case because I would feel as If I didn't protect the employee and that I could of prevented the lawsuit. If I were a human resource manager, I would be ashamed and I would feel like I didn't do my job, and that I just ignored a safety issue that was serious.
"If that have not avenged me, I can do no more!" Chillingworth says that the letter was revenge enough for the crime that Hester committed, but she wore it as a badge of pride. This punishment did not wear her down the way that Dimmesdale’s did. While Chillingworth was evil in his last years, he could have done more to punish Hester secretly, but he did not take it to that extreme. Perhaps he did care for her more and he would admit.
Yes, comparing with the villains, unscrupulous persons could be easier to get others’ tolerance. Just as Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None ", the perpetrator who drove a car and hit two children died firstly because the murderer think he was a person without moral. However, many unscrupulous people will not hurt others in physical, and they are good at hiding their real face under a smile mask. Maybe we don’t like the people who are dishonest or selfish, but we probably don’t label them as evil. One reason is that we always think that these things are not worthy to judge, another reason is that we usually do the same thing as them and we don’t like to face the dark side of ourselves.
