On day 22 of the trial, according to both the movie and trial transcripts Professor Richard Evans discusses a call a log from Heinrich Himmler, head of SS who kept detail log of every call he made and received. After each call he wrote down a few words to summarize the conversation. November 30th 1941, Himmler made a phone call to Heydrich giving him instructions, after the phone call he wrote the words, “ Judentransport aus Berlin. Keine Liquidierung” when means “The Jew transport from Berlin. No Liquidation.” Evan’s testifies that Irving misinterpreted what this phone call was about stating, “ Mr Irving, you did decide. You decided that it meant it is an explicit order from Hitler via Himmler that Jews were not to be liquidated. You refer
Is there any theoretical debate that is important? What is Partisanship and why is it relevant to American Politics?
Those on the left and right say the optimal political outcome is one in which their side gets more of what it wants.
In an earlier paper Haidt and Graham(2007) found that for extreme liberals, Harm / Care and Fairness / Reciprocity where almost always relivent, however those who are extremely conservative find that they value all five more equally when making moral choice. This correlates almost perfectly with the earlier paper from Graham, Haidt and Nosek(2009), showing that the findings seem highly reliable. Haidt and Graham(2007) go on to say that the recognition of the final three moral foundations(Ingroup / Loyalty, Authority / Respect and Purity / Sanctity) is key to allowing more fair and even discussions between the two political standpoints.
The debate on moral issue is something that will always be debated and a part of our lives. There are plenty of issues that have sprung up from time to time its issues that keep getting re-visited from time to time. Political parties began to form during the struggle over ratification of the federal Constitution of 1787. The friction between the parties increased as the attention shifted from this new government to just how
We live in a world blanketed by the darkness of ignorance. Instead of blindly searching for the black or white answers, we must defeat the enemy by moving toward common ground. Currently in politics, we see the negative effect of polarization as the presidential campaign has become candidate centered rather than issue centered. We see the candidates resort to bully-like tactics where they attack each other personally, rather than focusing on the issues at hand. While it is said that polarity is an integral part of nature, we need our differences to bring us together as a whole, rather than drive us apart. Polarization is inevitable due to the unique design of every individual, but issues are seen as either black or white, when really
Due to this, core issues such as gun women rights, health care or immigration, to name a few, are polarized politician’s options will align with that of their voter. “The same model of individual learning that underlies these results gives rise to ideological polarization, confirming the association of polarization with deliberation. Polarization through deliberation comes about because individuals who are not great at making indirect inferences from unpersuasive arguments learn more (or, put differently, receive more information perceive as relevant) from sources that are biased in the direction of their own prior biases, and in learning from those sources, they learn in a way that strengthens and accentuates those prior biases” (Dimitri. 2015. 93-94). Each party views the other negatively and politics are personal with liberals and conservatives sharing the passion equally. The divide is there and Donald Trump’s views and statements played right into this growing separation in ideology and unwillingness to compromise to create a better nation for all. “In the end, there may not be any one-shot solutions or simple answers. The present degree of political polarization didn’t arise overnight, and seems unlikely to dissipate that quickly, either. But even if they don’t solve the entirety of the problem, many voters are drawn to
What do you think of about a man who cheated, bribed, and associated with sadists and killers? What if I said that same used those skills to save more than a thousand Jewish during the Holocaust? That is who Oskar Schindler was. He grew up in Germany, and was hired as a Nazi. However, when he saw what the Nazis were doing to the helpless Jewish, he made his own factory where Jews that worked for him would never get hit, yelled at, or murdered. Oskar Schindler is a hero because of his humanitarian efforts. He was an unquestionably a commendable man because he risked his life to save countless Jews, hired them to work in his factory, and fed them well. Along with that, he gave them proper medical treatment in his factory, and then finally managed to help them all escape safely after Hitler committed suicide.
The opposition to the issue tends to have some great points but they also have some good resolutions to the problem at hand. The opposition “
Different people can be persecuted and even lose their lives based on their political convictions. For example, if one is in favor to the views of a party who may be opposite to the ruling party in charge of the government, it may signal a big threat to that individual. Wicked and ruthless politics can result into wars, where a country would have its own civil war, or fight with another country. These all could be negative consequences as a result of conflicting
Some contentious issues show the contrast between liberal ideas and conservative ideas. For example, if you consider the issue of abortion, a liberal would argue that a woman has a right to terminate to terminate her pregnancy because a fetus is not a human being. Therefore, the state is supposed to ensure health and safety of a woman who decides to abort. On the other hand, a conservative will argue that abortion is a crime and the state is not supposed to use taxpayer’s money to guarantee the health and safety of women who decide to abort (Grofman, Merrill, Brunell & Koetzle,
Often times, ideological conflict arises not because of facts, but because of other considerations. How do the conflicts discussed this week demonstrate this?
These principles helped us make sense of government and understand politics better. From orchestrating a crisis to political mudslinging, this behavior is an example of one of the five principles of politics, the rationality principle. The rationality principle holds that all political behavior has a purpose and that people tend to be goal oriented in their political activities as they make instrumental choices about how they act. Jefferson and Adams threw insults at each other to change public opinion to affect votes and Hamilton orchestrated a crisis to get what he wanted, everything had a deeper purpose. Understanding the underlying purpose of political behavior can help people understand the political events that are happening
When one thinks of the most evil and powerful person through history, one often thinks of Adolf Hitler. However, most of the feats accomplished by Hitler would have been impossible without the help of his lesser known right-hand man, Heinrich Himmler. Deemed “the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum), he helped Hitler carry out his brutal genocide of the Jewish religion. Heinrich Himmler played an extremely important role in the Holocaust.
* Offering a middle choice makes less difference to those who feel strongly about an issue, but if you offer a middle choice, more people will select it. One solution
