Conformity

We have been doing a lot of reading on Hitler and the events that happened as he was the Chancellor, very many interesting points have been brought up. One of my friends asked if I thought I would of followed Hitler as many German Citizens did. Obviously at this point of time I would say no. Obviously I don't have blonde hair and blue eyes, but many people at the time believed in him and the Nazis due to the depression. They were willing to give the extreme government a try and it ended up leading to one of the greatest world atrocities. It seems as if in time of need people are willing to give anything a try. This is the scary part about our world, people get desperate in time of need. This can vary from a relationship to a job or choosing a president. When it is crunch time, people have to make decisions, unfortunately these decisions can end up hurting us in the long run. People usually end up conforming to the majority, this isn't always a good thing..
