Journal Nov. 1

I chose to write about this book through the conflict theory perspective. I believe that everyone in the book is in conflict with one another and that helps society. For example, the Nazis were in conflict with the Jews, the Americans were in conflict with the Nazis. Although I don't believe that the Holocaust aided society very much, I could see why someone could think that it taught people a valuable lesson about human mortality and preservernce. Lots of scientific facts were found during the Holocaust and without the Holocaust we would probably never find out about them. Also the Americans in conflict with the Nazis aided society stopping the terrible tortures that went on in the Holocaust. All of these conflicts aided to society in one way or another with some helping more than others.
