The Role Of Mob Mentality In Schindler's List

Mob mentalities are an immensely powerful thing in the world. Durning the reign of the Nazi’s, mob mentalities were what helped them gain so much power. The one group, the Nazi’s, blamed the Jews for everything that went wrong in Germany. The Nazi’s dehumanized the Jews to make it easier to see that they were better than them and that they were on top. This idea of mob mentality was an especially important idea. It led to the killing of millions of Jews. The idea of mob mentality and people thinking their better than someone else was the reason that the Germans killed the Jews.

And that is an example of mob mentality because it shows that the Nazi’s did not see the Jewish people as people. They did not even see them as humans. They thought that they were so much better than the Jewish

Sometimes people just want to fit into a group. And they might not see them as well as another group. They might not necessarily because they think the group's way of thinking is the only correct way; they could adapt to the group's views and practices to be accepted by their peers.
