Understanding Our Actions and Their Consequences

“Ten people steal a beam, and are not ashamed in each other’s presence”

This connects to The Wave because the whole school was part of this organization and not many of them understood that it was wrong. They all thought that it was cool and they should keep the organization alive.

This connects to the Milgram experiment because lots of men were told to shock a test dummy. They didn’t know that it was a test dummy. The men kept shocking until the highest voltage. This show that because they were told to do something the men would.

Germany: From Democracy to Dictatorship

Which even do you think was most important in the transformation of Germany from democracy to dictatorship? Why?

I think that the burning of the Reichstag was the most important event. I think this because Hitler used this event to say that Germany is in a national crisis or emergency. This gave Hitler the power to create the enabling act which let him do pretty much whatever he wanted. This act led to all of the terrible things that Hitler did. He took away free speech, he targeted Jews and homosexuals and nobody could stop him. He arrested 10,000 people without telling them why they were being arrested. Because of all these things the government was no longer a democracy.
