Adolf Hitler Nature Vs Nurture

In the September of 1907, Adolf travelled to Vienna to take the entrance exams for Austria’s Academy of Fine Arts. He made it through the first round, which eliminated 113 aspiring artists down to 80. However, he wasn’t in the last top 28 who made it through. Art critics claim that Hitler was not the genius he thought he was and his artwork was mediocre. His failure as an artist changed his life, and this could have been one of the factors leading up to his heartless actions. This event alone toughened him out in the long run. Because of it, Adolf Hitler is not known today as a famous painter, but rather a racist extremist that ruined many lives and killed 11 million

1. Some people have argued that the Johns Hopkins psychologist used this opportunity as an experiment to test his nurture theory of gender identity. What are the expected results of this experiment, assuming that the nurture theory is valid?

Have you ever wondered how Adolf Hitler became the powerful and evil dictator he was? In todays society, no one is brought into this world as evil; everyone is born in the purest form of life. Something bad has to happen to someone that makes a person have so much hate. Therefore, in order to better understand what made Hitler so evil, people need to know that he was influenced by his relationship with his father, not being able to pursue his dream, and his beliefs.

Have you ever heard the expression, “You are a product of your environment?” Children learn how to speak from their parents by mimicking them , walk and treat others in their family, neighborhood and community. When children live with parents that show affection, concern, kindness and patience, children can grow up feeling loved, respected and have self-confidence. Hitler’s father was very rigid, mean, verbally and physically abusive to him and his older brother. I think Hitlers childhood had a lot to do with how Adolf Hitler became the dictator that he was. Hitler was a man who was responsible for the killing of approximately six million Jews in the Holocaust. However, he was also misunderstood and neglected as a

Was Adolf Hitler “born bad” or did his early life evolve him? What did his parents do to him? Hitler had gone through a lot of trauma in his early life to make him who he was.

As a young child, Adolf Hitler was treated poorly by his father, who died while Adolf was very young. He was an artist, and though he applied to the Academy of Fine Arts twice, he was rejected both times. Though he was Austrian, he regarded the Germans very highly, and

Adolf Hitler did not have a good early life. He was born on April 20, 1889 In Austria. He was never very social with his peers or his family, besides his mother who died when he was very young. He had intended to become an artist, and drew excellent landscapes. His father, though, did not approve of his plan, and was very abusive to him. He was actually part Jewish although born a Catholic. No one seemed to take him serious. He wanted to prove his power. (Holocaust Encyclopedia)

The issue of Hitler’s psychological abnormality and the cause being has many believed that it also stems from him being rejected twice to his dream school, the Academy of Arts in Vienna. He has been raised with the constant influence of anti-semitic beliefs and many believed that a staggering amount of Jewish people who were in power during the time had a lot of impact whether he would have been accepted to his dream school or not-- this obviously made him dislike the general Jewish population more than he already did. However, it is not just Hitler’s psychological state of mind that enabled him to commit barbaric and inhumane acts of aggression towards millions of Jewish people, but also the German citizens’ defeated and worn out feelings that also allowed for the horrendous acts to be committed. This is due to the fact that Germany lost the First World War and were deemed to be responsible for the reparations that totalled to 132 billion gold marks, or over $33 billion US dollars, and with this plus the fitful psychological state of mind of the dictator himself, Hitler and the Germans sought out for revenge and found the Jewish population as the main target to place their rage. The idea of using the Jewish population as the scapegoat for their

When he was younger, his family wasn’t very prosperous. His parents worked poor jobs and made very little money to remain with their needs.This gave him hard times because he didn’t have much of a start when he became an adult. He didn’t have a job for the most part and he lived in a homeless shelter. Hitler loved art for a time, and was an excellent artist too. His father ridiculed him for wanting to be an artist and not a businessman. After he was old enough, he moved to Vienna, where he could go to a school of fine arts. When he registered he got rejected, so he tried again but had the same outcome. Which this led him to being poor and ruined his dreams. Both these reasons gave him hard times in his

During Adolf Hitler’s early years he had a difficult life, he was extremely loved by his mother, Klara Hitler. On the other hand his father, Alois Hitler, beat him regularly. Adolf was a resentful, discontented child. He was deeply hostile toward his father Alois, and strongly attached to his hard-working mother. At the age of sixteen with dreams of becoming a painter, Adolf left school. In October 1907, Adolf left home for Vienna where he remained until 1913, he embittered at his rejection by the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts, he was to spend “five years of misery in woe.” In Vienna he acquired his first education in politics by studying “The demagogic techniques of the popular Christian social Mayer, Karl Lueger.” He picked up the stereotyped obsessive anti-semitism, with his brutal

Adolf Hitler was born on April 22, 1886 in Braunau am Inn, Austria to Alois and Klara Hitler. He was the fourth of six children. His childhood was undesirable. Due to his father’s short temper, and strict manner Adolf Hitler did not have a stable relationship and was unable to pursue a career in the visual art (Keefe, 29). Throughout his childhood, he experienced several losses. Beginning with the loss of his five siblings, which unfortunately did not get to

Although, Adolf Hitler was and still is one of the worst leaders the world has ever seen and his abusive parents may have been part of the influence. Hitler's father was abusive to all of his children because he was never

The concept ‘nature vs. nurture’ refers to the debate surrounding the influence of genetic factors and the environment in determining personality. It still remains contentious as to whether our personality is primarily determined by inherent genetics (biological approach) or by environmental conditioning (behaviourist approach). Shelley effectively embodies this life-long debate through the characterisation of Victor Frankenstein and the Frankenstein creature. She highlights the significance of the environment in creating personality as indicated by the influence of Victor’s home education and the creature’s character development. This essay shall hence illustrate that Frankenstein does not only engage with the nature vs. nurture debate,

Many people find Adolph Hitler as a cruel and wicked man after what he did during the World War II and the Holocaust. He lived an unfortunate life and brought misery to the innocent lives around him. Adolf’s relationship with his parents, failure to attend art school, and moving to Vienna helped to lead him to become the inhuman monster he was.

The dominant political figure of German history in the twentieth century, Adolf Hitler, was born in a lower middle class family in the provincial Austrian town of Braunau am Inn on 20 April 1889. In 1907 Hitler applied to enter the Vienna Academy of Art but his application was rejected. After the death of his mother Klara, Hitler decided to move to Vienna. He drifted from job to job, often selling sketches or painting scenes of Old Vienna and it was a period that he himself later called the most miserable period of his life. Many of Hitler’s views of the world were shaped by his experiences on the streets of Vienna and it is probable that his violent anti-Semitism dates from this time.
