Oskar Schindler: Determinism

in this paper i argue the opposing views of Daniel Goldhagen 's book Hitler 's Willing Executioners and Christopher Browning 's book ordinary Men. These books deal with the question of whether or not the average German soldiers and civilians were responsible for the holocaust. My research paper argues in favor of Goldhagen 's book, the average German was responsible for the participation of he holocaust. At the end of world war ll the Jewish community and the the rest of the world were crying for justice because of the devastation of there homes. The crimes committed by the Germans were cruel and someone had to pay. Several Nazi leaders were held accountable for the actions of the Germans. Were the Nazi leaders the ones responsible for

Oskar Schindler was a true hero during World War II. He risked life and limb for people he did not even meet before. He saved his accountant Itzhak Stern from death and Itzhak helped change his views and help save the Jews. Oskar Schindler saved over a thousand Jews from subsequently being sent to the gas chambers and he gave them food and work. Not a single S.S. officer got suspicious because they knew that the Jews would be working for a German cause, but on the contrary, they did not know that they were being treated affectionately and compassionately. Overall we believe that Oskar Schindler was a source of optimism and expectancy for the Jewish people. Oskar Schindler was the Moses of

According to history, Schindler was a businessman affiliated to the Nazi party, alcoholic, smoker, womanizer, hedonist and immoral. In 1939, attracted by the business of the war, Schindler decides to move to Poland; mostly interested in the money-making potential of the business and hired Jews because they were cheaper than Poles.

In the beginning of the film, Oskar Schindler is a man who is intrigued by anyway to make money. In the past, he has mostly been a failed businessman who is extremely persistent and will stop at nothing to become a profiteer. Schindler however, has an idea, unlike any idea he has ever had in the past. In the beginning of the film, he bribes and communicates with many German officials just as the war is beginning so he can gain access to jews and their free labor. He is an exceptionally greedy man who will abuse his power and social status to make money even if it’s through the blood, sweat, and tears of other individuals. At the beginning of the film, Schindler proclaims, “In every business I tried, I can see now, it wasn't me that failed. Something was missing.” He expresses that the reason for his success in his newly found business can be credited to war. This quote clearly indicates his extreme desire for wealth. However, over time he begins to adjust and modify his behaviors as a result of his friendship with a Jewish man named Itzhak Stern, who also is a manager of his business. As time goes on he begins to protect his workers and save them from concentration camps proclaiming that they are “essential workers” for the war effort. Schindler has now begun to understand that jews

Oskar Schindler faced many conflicts in his life. The main conflict he faced was overcoming the Nazis and saving over one thousand Jewish People. Schindler, with out a job at the time, joined the Nazi Party and followed on the heels of the SS when the Germans invaded Poland. This is when Schindler took over two previously Jewish owned companies that dealt with the manufacture and sales of enamel kitchenware products and opened up his own enamel shop right outside of Krakow near the Jewish ghetto. There, he employed mostly Jewish workers, which saved them from being deported to labor camps. Though twice the Gestapo arrested him, he got released because of his many connections and with many bribes. Most

It was such a pleasure to listen to a Eastern Alumni, Ryan Whitlock come in and talk about the struggles and what he does as a job to the class. To begin it was very cool that he had went to Eastern Illinois and had graduated with the same major that I am going for, which was Finance. I liked that he started off by telling us about unions, and about a contracts and how its like in Unions. His keys to success hit home for me, because even though he isn’t in the same field that I am going for, those skills cant be very useful for any person going into the workforce. I couldn’t believe that older men and women act in the way they do. You would think that their childish actions would be stored away once they were out of college and working full-time but as he told us, he sees it still till this day. I found myself relating to him, because in times when people are immature I just find its best to not fight battles with them and rather just sit back and laugh at how things are. I left questioning, as to why wouldn’t they agree to terms in a contract, I feel as though the employer has a pretty good proposal and so therefore why wouldn’t they want to take it. Is it because of greed that this world has come to? In my opinion it is stupid for there to even be a strike. Its really not worth losing the pay or benefits because you feel that the company isn’t presenting a good enough deal. I think to myself, don’t you have a family, wife or expenses that you

Oskar Schindler grew up in a prosperous Catholic family with all the privileges money could buy. He grew up to be a German industrialist, spy, and a member of the Nazi Party, who outwitted Hitler and the Nazis to save more Jews than any other from the deathly events of World War॥. With the help of his wife, Emilie Schindler, Oskar Schindler saved the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his ammunition and enamelware factories, spending millions bribing the SS, and eventually risking his life to rescue the Schindler-Jews (“The Oscar Schindler Story”)

Watching Schindler's list I decided to focus on Oskar Schindler. Throughout the movie Schindler personal emotions change on the war. In the beginning we see that it was a good thing for business that nothing else mattered as long as he made money. When Jews would come up he wouldn't care about them because he knew he could manipulate them and earn more money since they needed him. Schindler didn't really care for the Jews and what would happen to them. We see that Schindler only concern is that his business profits in the war. His concern for going to parties were to make connection that would better his money earning business. Money was his only concern which is why he went out seeking a jew. Since having a jew made it so they could be payed less than a normal person and they would be to scared to not do work. If he got a Jew it would earn him more money than hiring a German accountant. After getting an accountant he goes and seek workers for his factory. The workers are Jews since they don't need to be payed to be working. We later learn that his wife influences him with making business and wanting to succeed. He came from a place where he had nothing and is just beginning to make it. Hes making so much money he doesn't know what to do and he thanks the war for that. With his business doing so well he starts to care about his workers. He cares about them because he needs them to continue making the money.He starts really caring about his accountant Stern he makes sure he

Schindler, at first concerned just with himself and the accomplishment of his moneymaking plan, experienced a change that provoked him to spend his fortune to spare the lives of those he once misused. His intention was never totally clear and in fact, the genuine Schindler never uncovered his inspirations. His transformation from a man of lack of concern to one of sympathy happens bit by bit over various scenes. His regard for his Jewish bookkeeper, Itzak Stern, most likely had an extraordinary arrangement to do with his change, as does his seeing of the Krakow ghetto clearing, when he saw a young lady in the red coat. Be that as it may, Schindler's inspirations may likewise be less unselfish. It was conceivable that his own personality and narcissism drove him to be a rescuer. He

To think that this self centred man would become known for a shining moment of salvation for so many is almost beyond belief. Oskar Schindler is not a humanitarian or a force for ?good? in the typical sense. He is depicted within the film as a man that simply found himself in a unique position and rose to the occasion. Evil on the other hand, is epitomised throughout the film by the actions of those involved in the Nazi regime, in particular Amon Goeth who was in charge of the forced labour camp at Plaszow.

[War] brings out the worst in people. Never the good, always the bad. Even in the midst the devastation of a national genocide, where one race turned against another in hate, good people existed and worked to counteract the hate through love and compassion. Oskar Schindler was one of these people. World War II provided him the means to become a very wealthy and powerful man, yet he did not exploit the Jews like many other businessmen during his time. He used his money and power to save thousands. Much can be learned from what happened during the holocaust and what Schindler did to save thousands of Jews.

In Stephen Spielberg’s 1993 movie Schindler’s List, businessman and factory owner Oskar Schindler is concerned with both the welfare of his business as well as the workforce he employs of primarily Jewish people after witnessing their persecution by the German’s during the German’s occupation of Poland amid World War II. Themes pertaining to Social Psychology can be found in this film such as prejudice and discrimination, conformity, influence in social groups, aggression, cognitive dissonance, and altruism.

Jack struggled when he was in elementary school - he found it difficult to read, spell, and write. While the other children excelled during Mrs. Leroy’s 3rd grade reading time, Jack often became frustrated and upset because the letters and symbols did not make sense. One day, Jack’s older sister took him to the public library with her to check out a book. The librarian sensed Jack’s trouble when she saw him with a book, sounding out the letters with difficulty. She sat with Jack for three hours and taught him how to read; within weeks, Jack was a proficient reader and headed to the library twice a week to check out books recommended to him. The public library system affects the public education system in the United States by providing the students with achievement, lifelong learning opportunities, and an education.

Global overpopulation is an extremely broad topic that represents exactly what one would think, the overpopulation of the entire globe. Though global overpopulation is broad topic, there are many key factors that aid in the increasing total population. Some factors are more effective than others, but the most altering factor is the percentage of fertility. The direct connection between reducing the population is through pregnancy rates. There are multiple ways that a women’s pregnancy rate could be significantly reduced, by the use of birth control. In the articles, “Global Overpopulaton” by Hobart Rowen and “When Birth Control Isn 't for Birth Control" by Karen Klein and "How to Make Birth Control More Effective." by Danielle Braff, these are great examples of how utilizing birth control will aid in the control of maintaining and reducing the growing population rates. Including the possible results, if a solution is not discovered and the population numbers continue to grow.
