12 December 2012 Certainty and Doubt Certainty leads to a powerful belief that is absolute when coming to decisions. It causes individuals to feel capable of accomplishing anything.

Many people are absolute to their ideals and believe that everyone who do not share the same idea is an enemy. They are willing to cause turmoil in their own sense of justice. One of these individuals is Hitler, the mastermind behind the holocaust. He believed that the Jewish population was the cause of Germany's decline. Hitler claimed that they had deliberately made Germany lose World War 1 by causing strikes, subversion and revolution on the home front. His extreme sense of nationalism led him to kill six million Jews before committing suicide on April 30th, 1945. In a modern example, the Westboro Baptist Church is an independent Baptist church known for its extreme ideologies, especially those against homosexuality. After the 2006 Sago Mine disaster, they gathered and protested that the accident was God's revenge against America's tolerance of homosexuality. In a world without doubt the chances of one becoming absolute to their ideals are higher because no feelings of doubt or unease pull them back. Politics are affected by doubt which allows a voter to think before coming to a decision. Before an election, candidates would participate in speeches, debates, and discussions against the opposition. They each hold certainty in
