  • Arguments of Christopher Browning versus Daniel John Goldhagen Regarding The German View of the Holocaust

    2634 Words  | 6 Pages

    The arguments of Christopher Browning and Daniel John Goldhagen contrast greatly based on the underlining meaning of the Holocaust to ordinary Germans. Why did ordinary citizens participate in the process of mass murder? Christopher Browning examines the history of a battalion of the Order Police who participated in mass shootings and deportations. He debunks the idea that these ordinary men were simply coerced to kill but stops short of Goldhagen's simplistic thesis. Browning uncovers the fact that Major Trapp offered at one time to excuse anyone from the task of killing who was "not up to it." Despite this offer, most of the men chose to kill anyway. Browning's traces how these murderers gradually became less "squeamish" about the killing process and delves into explanations of how and why people could behave in such a manner.

    "If the men of Reserve Police Battalion 101 could become killers under such circumstances, what group of men cannot?" (189). The chilling words at the end of Browning's Book "Ordinary Men" leaves the reader with some very scary thoughts. Although it might not be the safest and most attractive view of society, Browning analyzes in great detail how it was possible for a seemingly normal and common group of men to turn into a group of mass murderers.

  • Battered Women Case Study

    2176 Words  | 5 Pages

    Women typically kill for a sense of security. This need to re-establish security can be from the abuse from their partner or other stressors, such as financial support. Economic studies have shown that financially and socially disadvantaged areas have higher intimate partner homicide rates (Diem & Pizarro, 2010). However, the second factor of this point is that this is seen in wealthy countries (Stöckl et al, 2013). Women in these areas might not have the social support such as women’s shelters to go to in these abusive relationships, leaving these women with the idea that homicide is the only option (Diem & Pizarro, 2010). It is seen that these women can also lack support from friends or family as well, whether they live in socially disadvantaged areas or not (Diem & Pizarro, 2010). In these cases the women have a hard time leaving their abusive relationship. When these cases are in court, social factors that aid in leaving the situation have typically undermined a defendant’s case. However, if more can be done to show how these women lacked these social structures both inside and outside the courtroom, there could be continued improvement both for their case and how society views these
