I do not think Ali did the right thing in rejecting the caller’s request to officiate at his father’s funeral because I believe that it is the duty of the rabbi to serve all Jews, especially in times of need such as when their is a death in the family. I think Ali should have been more understanding to the grieving son’s situation as it was not his fault that his father did not attend the Center. I think Ali should have been a role-model for other Jews, like the son and treat him with respect. I think that if she did not argue about officiating the funeral, that she may have potentially led the son to participate. I did not find this move very-rabbi like or leader-like.
Wolters believed that Speer only tried to protect his reputation, that he was trying to build himself up systematically & that he was a hypocrite who was far from apolitical. Dan van der Vat further supports Wolters, and says “the only reason Speer escaped the death penalty was because he was a good liar”. Matthias Schmidt, author of ‘The end of a Myth’, believed that Speer had the motive to become a great historical figure, and attempted to do so by gaining power in the Nazi party I agree with Wolters, Dan van der Vat and Matthias Schmidt, with saying Speer was only interested in his reputation. That he was a megalomaniac architect who had established what Schmidt said was a “cunning apologia”, and had therefore escaped execution at Nuremburg. Although, due to Gitta Serenys studies, we can sympathize.
One of the most important questions to be asked in this story is whether or not Aaron Wechler sent the bomb to his former working place or not. There are several reasons to believe he did not. For instance, the declaration he gave the police was an exact paraphrase of what he read in the newspapers. This does point in the direction that Aaron did have nothing to do with the actual bombing. He also tells himself that he couldn’t have come up with such a brilliant scheme.
The writer instead of concentrating on the whole issue of beggars and the unable he criticized them as people who are requesting for sympathy for their kinds. This is not so as a person who decides to beg is completely unable to do so. They do not beg willingly but the circumstances make
Criticisms from supervisors and peers often are met with emotional listening resistance. We hear only the negatives and do not attend to offers of help or ways to improve our performance. We are over stimulated and do not accurately receive messages that could help us grow and develop. Barrier Three: Criticizing Personal Style Rather Than Messages. We often find ourselves criticizing the way a message is presented and ignoring its content or value.
Therefore abstaining Hitler from having a grand design to put into effect. They deem Hitler to be more of an opportunist than a mastermind and that the eradication of the Jews became a convenient division of Hitler’s charming of the Jewish population. Extreme structuralists tend to believe that that Holocaust was initiated by the German bureaucracy, with Hitler having no place in its inception. They believe he merely capitalized on what would became an opportune occurrence for his winning over of the population. While Structuralists with a more passive view would believe that although effort was made by the Nazis to eventually remove all Jews from Europe, mass genocide was merely a last resort.
In other words, “It’s better to do evil than to be evil.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian important for his support of and his view of Christianity's role in a changing modern world. He was involved in a plot to overthrow the Furfur, Adolf Hitler. This led to him being put in prison and then executed. His “Letters and Papers from Prison,” published after his death in 1951, is perhaps the most philosophical document of his convictions. Bonhoeffer grew up in the University of Berlin, where his father, Karl Bonhoeffer, was a professor.
First, he explains that we will experience emotional pain when we recognize that the work we would love to do might just be unavailable enough to make us doubt that we can proceed. Maisel states, “This is an emotional suffering that researchers haven’t examined: the pain of wanting to do certain intellectual work but not being capable of it.” He then goes on to discuss ways to help your brain to be its best. This can range from silencing the self-talk that can rob you of your confidence, to making fewer excuses about why you don’t have the time, patience, or ability to think. Secondly he points out that choosing the intellectual work that matches your native intelligence, or in other words, staying in your comfort zone. He tells us to find an area of work that isn’t too difficult which enables you to do work that makes use of all your strengths.
Passive communication by definition is not expressing honest feelings thought or beliefs. (, 2014). They often communicate in an apologetic and self-effacing way, allowing others to disregard them and often eventually shoulder the responsibility or end up handling other’s issues. In this scenario this is exactly what Pamela did. She concluded Brigit might not have done the tests accurately because of the previous reading.
“Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long, the man responsible for immigration policy, personified a tradition of gentlemanly anti-Semitism. Polite on the surface but deeply bigoted, Long used his authority over visas to place obstacles in the way of desperate Jewish refugees” (Davidson, Delay, et. al., 2008, p.791). People who had power in Congress ignored the requests of the Jews. The U.S. State Department delayed publicizing reports of genocide.
