Adolf Hitler's Sociological Perspective

My chosen historical character is Adolf Hitler. He was once a wicked man on this planet, during Holocaust and World War 11 the war that is well known around the world. These wars were his intentions and plans, the impact of this war cause lots of lives losses and also lots of injured peoples. At that time he was in the Nazi party, which was similar to Isis nowadays. People don’t just start acting that way, killing people aren’t what they had in their mind, and people don’t just change to be this way. To behave that way, people must have had an awful childhood. Hitler for example when he was in his childhood ages, he had an abusive father which made his life a big misery. His father had the authority and thought he could mistreat his family
and nothing would happen to him. In Hitler’s childhood he was really ill and weak, because his father used to whip him frequently and was also sexually abused. He had been whip so many times and after he got used to it. Because he was overpower from a large man which was his dad young Hitler couldn’t do anything apart from trying to control his own emotions. His father wasn’t a big fan of the Jews, for some reason he had hatred for them, and soon after he was deceased, Hitler upon being able to express all his emotion out broke out and started imitating his Dad and also had a hatred for the Jews. Because he was whipped during his whole childhood until he was a teenager he had raged built into him which he then express it out as revenge on people. He had a personality disorder which is the confusion of his childhood life and his life now. Because he was a really talented speaker people loved listening to him, he used his power by being into politics. Being in politics made him more powerful, comparing to his childhood where his father was in complete controlled he was then helpless and powerless, but now as he has personality disorder he act more aggressive, he wanted revenge and he also suffered mentally severe anxiety. He had several kinds of anxiety the two most common was chronic and insomnia. Chronic anxiety is a long term anxiety that he had of fear and he started being concern of his surrounding and also his everyday life. And his Insomnia anxiety came out from his chronic anxiety, the feeling of fear was terrible for him and he couldn’t sleep.
The social cognitive approach The social-cognitive approach is an approach in which the views of people personalities are in terms of the ways people thinks about situations which occurs in their everyday life and the behaviors they have to respond to the behaviors.
How does Social cognitive approach fit with Adolf Hitler? As we know the leader of Nazis he had a rough childhood, mostly blaming his dad. The reason his childhood is a great key to his awful act is because of the different situations that occurred during his young age. He had been whipped and he was helpless only thinking of revenge upon growing up. The situation in which he had been sexually assaulted and also whipped showed the behavior of anger, hatred and the facts that he truly wanted to revenge his dad for making his life a misery one. He responded to this when he grew up, being in politics showed he had the power, he was now in controlled of the situation rather than being weak, he took great advantage of this opportunity and express his hatred of Jews then showed his anger and killed millions by creating a worldwide war. Also because of his father he had severe anxiety problems, several health issues. Being an easy target during his childhood made him unprotected and easily harmed, he still had fear in his adultery because of his personalities disorder, which causes chronic anxiety which then added up to insomnia anxiety. His life turn more misery after he had to take medicine against these anxiety such as chronic and insomnia
anxiety.
Trait approach
Trait approach is an approach in which a behavior is identified, or a quality that describes a person. What traits did Adolf Hitler have? He had a lot of traits. Firstly he made an excellent leader he was full of spirit which the people of Germany liked, he was full of charisma. As he was such a good leader, getting people attention wasn’t a problem for him, which he took advantage of in the future years. Since he was young he had been treated badly and that reflected on his adult life, being mistreated by his father and mother not doing anything to help told him in the inside that he is a lonely person, and as he became the leader of Nazi, he didn’t trust anyone. He did whatever he wanted and never relied on anyone to fulfill his needs. He was a motivated person he worked hard to achieved his goal. He was single minded mostly because he had his own dreams and other people views didn’t matter to him. His dreams were to eliminate Jews and revenge and express his anger by warring. He was illogical, since his mother was a kind lady Hitler had his lady sides also he believed in astrology and he followed it closely thinking that his victory will be told by the astronomy. Most people knows his evil sides like him being a murderer, mean, cruel, selfish, quick tempered and many more traits that shows anger and the wanting of revenge which cause a massacre such as World War 11. He was really selfish because he decided what he wanted to do and no one matters to him; he kills Jews just because he hated them.
Conclude Social Cognitive Approach and Trait Approach
Social cognitive Approach and Trait Approach both are really important. Trait Approach is more important than Social Cognitive Approach for some reasons. Trait are people personalities, people gets their personality and chooses who they want to be depending on their personalities. Personalities are built from series of events that happens in someone’s life and then they behave in a way to react to the specific situations that occurred to them. Traits can be chosen and learnt also, whereas Social Cognitive Approach the personalities are only learnt from event has specific reactions.
