FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
Hitler was born just like any other human, no different, and "From a scientific point of view... we are forced to consider Hitler, the Fuehrer, not as a personal devil, wicked as his actions and philosophy may be, but as the expression of a state of mind existing in millions of people, not only in Germany but, to a smaller degree, in all civilized countries"(Dr. Stuart D. Stein). |
We know from our study of many cases that the character of father is one of the major factors determining the character of the child during infancy, particularly that of a boy. Hitler's father "At home, on the other hand, particularly after he had been drinking, he appears the exact opposite. He is brutal, unjust and inconsiderate. He has no respect for anybody or anything. The world is all wrong and an unfit place in which to live. At such times he also plays the part of the bully and whips his wife and children who are unable to defend themselves. Under such circumstances the child becomes confused and is unable to identify himself with a clear-cut pattern which he can use as a guide for his own adjustment. Not only is this a severe handicap in itself but in addition the child is given a distorted picture of the world around him and the nature of the people in it" (Dr. Stuart D. Stein). |
All Hitler ever wanted was a masculine figure that would care after him although "As a child Hitler must have felt this lack very keenly for throughout his later life we find him searching for a strong masculine figure whom he can respect and emulate. The men with whom he had contact during his childhood evidently could not fill the role of guide to his complete satisfaction. He has spent his life searching for a person worthy of the role but was unable to find one until he discovered himself. His goal is now to fulfill this role to millions of other people in a way in which he had hoped some person might do for him" and in turn all he wanted was to help his people and act as the masculine figure that he always wanted throughout his entire life (Dr. Stuart D. Stein). |
Like I said before, Hitler was born just like any other human, with no antisemitic views and had great relationships with everyone during his childhood and teen years "There is absolutely no evidence that he had any anti-Semitic feeling before he left Linz or that he had any during the first years of his stay in Vienna. On the contrary, he was on the very best terms with Dr. Bloch while he was in Linz and sent him postcards with very warm sentiments for some time after he went to Vienna. Furthermore, his closest friends in Vienna were Jews, some of whom were extremely kind to him" therefore we cannot say that he is just pure evil, obviously there was a active catalyst somewhere in his life that influenced his views (Dr. Stuart D. Stein). |
Due to the life he was raised into, Hitler psychologically progressed his undesired qualities onto others "another load of undesirable qualities was poured upon his head with the result that Hitler now hated and despised the Jew with the same intensity as he hated his former self. Obviously, Hitler could not rationalize his projection as long as he stood by himself as a single individual, nor could he combat the Jew single-handed. For this he needed a large group which would fit the picture he had created" (Dr. Stuart D. Stein). |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
Dr. Stuart D. Stein uses what we know about Psychology today to piece together Hitler's mindset. By relating his early lifestyle to his days in Vienna and onwards to Germany's defeat in WWI, Dr. Stein shows Hitler's transformation. Dr. Stein also uses psychology to explain Hitler's personality, attitude, and personal views/beliefs.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
The author is Dr. stuart D. Stein and there was no background of the author. The site is inspired by the incredibly accurate psychological profile of Adolf Hitler written by Harvard Psychological Clinic Henry A. Murray. Walter C. Langer office of strategic services washington d.c. and others fund the site.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
There are no attachments, the site is just simply informative.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
The online source is definitely not against Hitler, but it neither speaks of Hitler in a very positive manner either.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author sites the author of the very first and original psychological profile of Adolf Hitler.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I plan to use this source to prove that whatever negative affects that Hitler inputed into society wasn't entirely all Hitler's fault and that there are many factors that influenced Hitler to do what he did. And I plan to use this site to show that Hitler is psychologically misunderstood.
