Note that a metaphor is introduced in the first sentence—the idea of the past at Auschwitz and other death camps echoing down through the ages. However, it is then immediately connected with a subject—tears—that cannot echo. This problem is commonly referred to as mixing metaphors, and using metaphors in this way can cause your reader a great deal of confusion hilarity, which does not serve the subject. At the very least, it can break the flow of a good metaphor by introducing an impossible image that your reader can’t correctly visualize. Another commonly used rhetorical device is parallelism.
This movement reached its zenith in the 1930s, but dissolved following World War II and the disclosure of the horrific eugenic practices of the Nazis. Nonetheless, support for the genetic control of human beings did not disappear, and public endorsement of eugenic ideals continued to surface”(Dorsey). The New Catholic Encyclopedia Supplement stated “In practice, eugenics has resulted in the worst acts of genocide, racism and violence ever perpetrated because it indulges the idea that some members of society have the authority to determine whether or not some people should be born or have children, or otherwise enjoy human

<BR>In the 1920’s there was a movement, called the melting pot, to solve the social problems of the time with the use of technology. Eugenics is the use of science to solve social problems. A major leader in eugenics at the turn of the century was a man named Davenport. Kallikak studied eugenics too. He used case studies of individuals to show heredity.
The thievery done by the Gypsies is what made the non-Gypsies judge them and not like them. So, because of this, Gypsies have been targets for a variety of maltreatment (Pottanat 1). When the Holocaust came about, Gypsies were persecuted severely and Hitler’s treatment of them was very harsh. In the years that led up to Hitler taking office of Third Reich, the Germans began passing laws and putting limitations on Gypsies. In 1926, Germany had begun placing severe limitations on Gypsies to watch their actions and to make sure they weren’t getting into any trouble.
* This suggests that while the deprivation model may be applicable to prison environments, it may not be relevant to violence within psychiatric institutions. * Massacres are often a form of institutional aggression often committed during wartime, such as the massacres of Jews during World War II. * Milgram argues that this happens due to the situational pressures of war, which causes soldiers to obey their leaders. * This can be demonstrated by the fact that in the Holocaust, many soldiers claimed that they were simply following their superiors' orders. * Goldhagen argues that the Holocaust was not due to obedience, but due to the anti-Semitism which was prevalent at that
Incapable The N.C. Sterilization Program was an immoral set of laws devised by the U.S. Government that allowed states that were represented by the eugenics board to declare if an individual was genetically suitable or unsuitable to reproduce similar persons into the gene pool. Those who were seen as unsuitable were deemed by the term “degenerative” meaning considered to have fallen below a normal or desirable level in physical, mental, or moral qualities. They were later sterilized and could no longer reproduce. One of the many people sterilized was Elaine Riddick, a 14 year old rape victim. Eugenicist , the study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits.
Holocaust happened because Hitler and the Nazis were racist. They believed the German people were a 'master race', who were superior to others. They even created a league table of 'races' with the Aryans at the top and with Jews, Gypsies and black people at the bottom. These 'inferior' people were seen as a threat to the purity and strength of the German nation. When the Nazis came to power they persecuted these people, took away their human rights and eventually decided that they should be exterminated.
Nazis: Torturers or Victims? "If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them," quoted Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, "but the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being … it is after all only because of the way things worked out that they were the executioners and we weren’t." The experiments on obedience to authority conducted by Yale university psychologist Stanley Milgram confirmed the thoughts of Solzhenitsyn by proving, sadly, that at least 65% of everyday human beings could be initiated into behaving in ways that might lead to killing innocent victims. In fact, we all feel contempt before acts of inhumanity like the Holocaust, and it is convenient to attribute horrors
Surgical castration is the removal of the testes. Lots of people argue that castration is unconstitutional and should be optional to the offender. Why show pity to someone who physically harmed another person sexually? If this were a mandatory consequence for first time offenders I believe the numbers of repeat sex offenders will drastically
