George Makreas Prof. Christopher Dowling ENG 100 T-TH G00848186 The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness The Holocaust will always be remembered by the world as a period where human evil was most prevalent, and where millions of innocent lives were taken in cold blood. It doesn’t matter whether your ancestors were involved, or if you were around to experience it, you only have to be human in order to feel for all of the people who were affected. Over the years studies like Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, and Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Study have shed light on some of the basic roots of human evil, but these roots are not enough to pave the way for forgiveness of the events that occurred. Simon Wiesenthal’s†¦show more content†¦Depriving this child of a life based on what ethnicity they were born is an inhumane act of cruelty. Whether or not it is driven by fear, the trigger is pulled, and his moral decision is made. The children had not yet experienced the pleasures in life that so many others were given the chance to before being brought to their en d by SS soldiers. To become a member of the Hitler Youth or the German SS, one must willfully sign up and sign their lives over to the cause. In order to give forgiveness one must ask the question of what the initial intent of the harmful action was, and if there is something that could have been done to avoid it. At 6:10 in the Milgram Obedience Study video, the authority figure tells the teacher â€Å"you have no other choice teacher â€Å" to which the teacher responds â€Å"Oh I have a lot of choices, my number one choice is that I wouldn’t go on if I thought he was being harmed. While he found many people willing to defy their conscience and go with authority, 40% actually walked away willingly from the experiment with no problem at all. In this case we have Karl, who was a good church boy, who signed up to the army in knowing of the situation that was going to unfold. The following events may not have been as bad as he presumed, but Hitler’s motives were pretty clear and hatef ul in their ways while recruiting. Had he been courageous enough to remove himself from the situation, it could have been more lives that were saved.Show MoreRelatedSunflower Analysis : Sunflower Rhythm Coffee Cafe1680 Words   |  7 Pages Sunflower Rhythm Coffee Cafà © is a retail business venture based in the heart of Waldorf, Maryland.
