Authority and conformism; social psychology of Nazism This thesis attends to Nazism from the perspective of social psychology. Its aim is to analyze Nazism by using chosen theoretical concepts of social psychology, namely authority and conformism. The work begins with the presentation of the concept of totalitarianism, when in the first instance the term totalitarianism is generally defined and then the great part of this chapter deals with the concept of totalitarianism in Hannah Arendt's conception. At the end of this chapter there are mentioned some limits of Hannah Arendt's conception. The ideology of Nazism is the content of the next chapter. There are terms ideology and Nazism defined and subsequently there is the goal and basic characterization of Nazi ideology given. The third chapter deals with the authority and the conformism as social psychological phenomena. The first part of this chapter defines conformism, lists the possible resolution of its causes and basic typology of its consequences. Furthermore, there are presented the most important classical studies in the field of the scientific study of conformism carried out by laboratory exepriments and briefly outlined the problems of disposal and situational approach. Next a brief treatise on modern individualism as a possible aspect of...

Social Psychology of Nazism; Law in the Third Reich This thesis deals with two essential aspects of the former Nazi Third Reich (1933-1945) - the law and social psychology such as conformism and authority. The aim of this thesis is to analyse and evaluate this problematic with a closer focus on a certain part of these two topics. The first part focuses on the basic terms and general context. There are described definitions of totalitarianism and Nazism in Germany and the history from the Weimar Republic to the end of the Third Reich. There is also chapter describing the role of propaganda in Nazi Germany, which was precisely managed and strongly influenced the German population. The second part of the text deals with Nazi law, old and new sources of law and especially well-known Nuremberg Laws, which are analysed in detail. Part of this chapter is focused on the comparison of Czech law and the law in the Third Reich, respectively whether and how is protected the state against undemocratic forms of government and this kind of political parties. The last part is focused on social psychology (selected phenomenon) which played an important role in the Third Reich - the conformism and authority. Emphasis was placed on practical experiments and concrete examples of these phenomena in Germany. Topic of this thesis...

The theme of my thesis is Conformity and Authority, social psychology of Nazism. The purpose of my thesis is to analyse human behaviour during the Nazi period, in particular human tendency to conformity behaviour and obedience to the authority. I have two main reasons to choose this concrete topic for my thesis. First of all I am psychologist and it is quite interesting for me to explore theme both from law and psychological point of view. Secondly, my great - grandfather was member of resistance during The Second World War. He was executed in concentration camp in 1942. Because of his choice I was personally interested in exploring nonconformal behaviour or heroism. The thesis is divided into ten chapters including The Introduction and The Conclusion. Chapter one is The Introduction and defines basic questions which I would like to answer in my thesis. I also present the structure of whole thesis there. The second chapter concentrates on my family story I mentioned before. I provide there more details about the story of my great- grandfather and consequences of his resolution for my family. Chapter three is devoted to Nazism and is subdivided into four subchapters - Definition, Leader, Rising of Nazism and Antisemitism. In chapter four I concentrate on Conformism. The aim of this chapter is to...

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions l’immoralisme dans l’œuvre romanesque d’André Gide. Le premier chapitre est consacré non seulement à l’approche théorique et méthodologique mais aussi à l’analyse de la subversion que nous considérons comme l’un des vecteurs de l’immoralisme dans l’œuvre romanesque d’André Gide. Le second chapitre et la seconde partie relèvent de la sémiotique du sensible, des passions et la sémiotique tensive. De même, dans la seconde partie, nous démontrons que l’immoraliste est un sujet en tension en déterminant les différentes passions auxquelles se rattache le thème de l’immoralisme dans l’œuvre romanesque d’André Gide. La troisième partie traite de l’échec de l’immoralisme. En nous basant sur l’étude de la passion du désespoir, de la pitié, des simulacres passionnels, des modalités véridictoires, la forme de vie de l’anticonformisme, la forme de vie de la volupté, la forme de vie de l’errance et de l’éthique individualiste, nous notons que l’immoralisme est un échec et conduit à l’impossible bonheur. C’est d’ailleurs, la raison pour laquelle, le sujet immoraliste finit par renoncer à ses valeurs individuelles pour se conjoindre à celles de l’actant collectif. / In this thesis, we study the immoralism in André Gide’s romantic work. The first chapter is devoted not only to the theoretical and methodological approach but also to the analysis of subversion which we consider as one of the vectors of immoralism in André Gide’s romantic work. The second chapter and the second part make out the semiotics of the sensitive, passions and tensive. Similarly, in the second part, we demonstrate that immoralist is a subject in tension by determining the different passions to which is linked the theme of immoralism in André Gide’s romantic work. The third part deals with the failure of immoralism. Based on the study of the passion of despair, pity, passional simulacra, veridictory modalities, the life form of anticonformism, the life form of pleasure, the life form of wandering and individualistic ethic, we note that immoralism is a failure and leads to the impossible happiness. This is also the reason why the immoralist subject eventually renounces his individual values to be conjoined with those of the collective actant.

It was found a positive and statistically signi cant e ect for the network e ect of the probability of doing an exam without being prepared, and a positive, but not signi cant e ect for the network e ect of the probability of cheating in an exam. This result shows that policies or actions aiming the reduction of the probability of a student do an exam without being prepared have what is called social multiplier e ect, because besides this policy change the behavior of the student regarding this variable, his or her change of behavior a ects positively the behavior of people in his or her network. / Para entender de que forma as networks afetam o comportamento dos indiv duos, em espec co o comportamento de estudantes no ultimo ano do ensino m edio dentro da sala de aula, estimamos um modelo de Network e ects, o Localaverage Model para duas vari aveis comportamentais: fazer uma prova ou teste sem ter se preparado e colar em uma prova, a m de entender como o comportamento dos amigos de um indiv duo afeta o comportamento do mesmo. Encontrou-se uma efeito positivo e estatisticamente signi cante para o network e ect da probabilidade de se fazer uma prova ou teste sem ter se preparado, e um efeito positivo, mas n~ao signi cante para o network e ect da probabilidade de se colar em uma prova.

Social psychology of Nazism: Conformism, Obedience and Abuse of Power Thesis Social Psychology of Nazism: Conformism, Obedience and Abuse of Power deals with a human behaviour at the time of Nazism. Since the end of the Second World War, we have been trying to find an explanation of our actions at the time. How could we have participated in torturing and killing so many innocent people? And could we commit something similar again? The horrific nature of the above-mentioned human action is exemplified in the first chapter of this thesis by the story of ordinary men of the Reserve Police Battalion 101. In 1942, at the orders of their superiors these very ordinary German citizens executed 1500 Jewish inhabitants of the Polish village of Józefów. In the following chapters, three important socio-psychological experiments of the second half of the 20th century are analyzed to elucidate the natural tendencies of human behaviour that are critical to a person's ability to act as mentioned above. Firstly, the Solomon E. Asch experiment, which investigates conformism and helps us to understand why we are able to commit evil or not to intervene against it under social pressure. Stanley Milgram's experiment on obedience follows. Milgram indicates how it is easy for most people to obey the authority and follow...

The work can also be used to analyze similar situations in many parts of Brazil, marked by the colonelism or caudillismo. From its connection with the history of Garças and Araguaia region, which had a miner and warrior colonelism, the miner colonelism of Poxoreu is connected to the democratic game created by the municipal elections of 1947 and that had installed in the municipal administration until 2000. The hypothesis that best fits the situation of both region that, throughout the twentieth century, have undergone a process of creating political and social relations similar to the model of Caesarism. The Caesarism seeks solutions to political problems by military actions. At Garças and Araguaia, for example, Colonel José Morbeck had organized the region along these lines, i.e., sharing the organization of all human settlements with their various representatives. In Poxoréu, due to the electoral system introduced in 1947 and renovated in 1965 and also in 1979, the leaders were able to coexist with forms of parliamentary representation, by articulating a balanced policy that pretend to correspond to the interests of the community. The work can be justified because it covers a relatively large period of the Poxoréu s history, while in other Brazilian regions and Mato Grosso were taking important political, economic and social policy, and Poxoréu was not able to adapt after exhaustion of diamond reserves that led to the economic stagnation of the municipality. The methodology used to develop this thesis is historical, but there are others important themes to analyze, such as, for example, the issue of leaders, which appear stronger over all the work. Then, the history of Poxoréu is put within the history of Mato Grosso and Brazil, and also seeks to reconstruct the routes of migrants throughout the twentieth century for the region, and seek, in the armed conflict in the Garças and Araguaia and in the violence inside the miner region, the causes of the immobilism of the powerful and conformism of the people, with the reflections that are still being felt after the first decade of the twenty first century / O objetivo do presente trabalho é buscar as causas do imobilismo dos poderosos que se instalaram na administração municipal e as causas do comodismo do povo de Poxoréu. O trabalho serve também para analisar outras situações semelhantes em diversas partes do Brasil, marcadas pelo coronelismo ou caudilhismo. A partir da sua conexão com a história do Garças e Araguaia, que teve um coronelismo garimpeiro, guerreiro, o coronelismo garimpeiro de Poxoréu se ligou ao jogo democrático criado pelas eleições municipais de 1947 e se instalou na administração municipal até o ano 2000. Em certo sentido, a hipótese a que mais se adapta a situação tanto do Garças como do Araguaia quanto de Poxoréu é a de que, ao longo do século XX, essas duas regiões passaram por um processo de criação de relações políticas e sociais semelhantes ao modelo implantado por César (100 a.C.-44 a.C.), em Roma, conhecido como cesarismo. É próprio do cesarismo buscar as soluções dos problemas políticos mediante ações militares. No Garças e Araguaia, por exemplo, o coronel José Morbeck organizou a região nesses moldes, isto é, loteando os aglomerados humanos entre os seus diversos representantes. Em Poxoréu, devido ao sistema eleitoral implantado em 1947 e reformado em 1965 e em 1979, as lideranças foram capazes de conviver com formas de representação parlamentar, com o pretexto de articular uma política equilibrada que correspondesse aos interesses da comunidade. O trabalho se justifica porque abarca um período relativamente grande da história de Poxoréu, enquanto em outras regiões do Brasil e do de Mato Grosso se processavam importantes transformações políticas, econômicas e sociais às quais a política de Poxoréu não foi capaz de se adaptar após a exaustão das reservas minerais levou à estagnação econômica do município. A metodologia usada para desenvolver o trabalho é histórica, mas ela, por si só não será capaz de responder a outros elementos passíveis de análise, como, por exemplo, a questão das lideranças, que aparecerão fortes ao longo do trabalho. O trabalho procura inserir a história de Poxoréu dentro da história de Mato Grosso e do Brasil, busca reconstruir os itinerários dos migrantes ao longo do século para a região, além de buscar, no conflito armado do Garças e Araguaia e na violência própria da região de garimpo, as causas do imobilismo dos poderosos e do conformismo do povo, com os seus reflexos ainda sendo sentidos após a primeira década do século XXI

This thesis carries out an analysis of social pressure and the alienation of women in Angela Carter&rsquo / s The Magic Toyshop and Jeanette Winterson&rsquo / s Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. It discusses the effect of social pressure on woman whose sexuality is ignored. This study initially focuses on the development of woman&rsquo / s sexuality in relation to the female model described by heterosexual hegemony. It aims at taking a closer look at the alienation of conformist and non-conformist female characters under patriarchal force in Carter&rsquo / s and Winterson&rsquo / s works. In relation to women&rsquo / s sexual identity, the thesis examines gender roles in the particular works. It discusses how women under patriarchal oppression are identified with passive female roles while men are associated with superior male roles. Thus this study iterates how women are alienated as a result of patriarchal gendering. With this aim, it questions the ways to destroy the patriarchal oppression for Carter and Winterson.

Šis magistrinis rašto darbas yra mediatizuoto socialinio pasaulio analizė nuo pirminių individo socialinės raiškos požymių iki jo įtakos visam socialiai veiksniam pasauliui bei vyraujančios valdymo formos - demokratijos. Kryptingai sekant nuosekliais žingsniais, visų pirma, yra aptariamos subjekto kaip „Ego“ pažinimo ribos siekiant ištrūkti iš solipsistinės subjekto pozicijos į socialiai veiksnų pasaulį. Pasitelkiant literatūros analizę yra nustatoma subjekto galimybė pažinti Kitą ne tik kaip objektą, bet ir kaip subjektą, taip įvykdant pirmąją sąlygą ir įtraukiant jį į socialinį pasaulį. Antram etape yra pristatomas bendravimas per medijas, problemos kylančios stengiantis Kitą pažinti per mediumą bei skirtumai tarp tiesioginės ir netiesioginės Kito patirties. Nuosekliai sekant toliau subjektas yra įvedamas į mediatizuotą (virtualų) socialinį pasaulį ir aptariamos bendros, bet esminės krizės kylančios globalizacijos, fragmentuotos visuomenės ir konformizmo atvejais, kurios yra pajuntamos įsitraukiant į socialiai veiksnų virtualų pasaulį. Pasitelkus kiekybinę duomenų analizę ir įžvalgas yra nustatomos vienos pagrindinių virtualaus socialinio pasaulio problemos – narcisizmo – apraiškos ir jo įveikimo galimybės. Taip pat, aptariama kokiu būdu šie vartotojai gali įtakoti informacijos sklaidą per medijas ir pačių vartotojų informacijos įsisavinimo bei turinio kūrimo tikslai ir bruožai. Aptariama tų pačių narcisistinių apraiškų pasireiškimas politiniame pasaulyje ir jų santykis su...
