Identity and Group Questions 2024-25 by Laura Harman

Humans separate themselves into groups to be with other people that are similar to them and have the same values. This can be harmless in school when finding and hanging out with a friend group and can be harmful when people with dangerous beliefs interact with each other and boost the harmful actions that they could take.

Many humans separate themselves into group for many reasons. Most want to stick with people that they assume they can relate to. Its harmless when we don't use the groups to discriminate, compare, or tear down others because of the group.

We can learn the worst of human behavior from the holocaust due to the sheer evil and emotional manipulation of the victims and the core of human resilience and perseverance from the survivors which allowed them to keep resisting and surviving.

Question 1

2025-03-03 14:24:33 UTC

I agree

2025-03-03 14:24:53 UTC

We can learn resilience from studying the holocaust and the survivors due to the unfathomable conditions they had to face and how to persevere through hard times.

kinsleybarr29 — 2025-03-03 14:25:49 UTC

I think that people separate themselves into groups so that way they have people to relate to or have people that they know will support them.

isaacmeyer29 — 2025-03-03 14:26:06 UTC

Was this the worst crime against human rights?????

monpriyayodkad29 — 2025-03-03 14:26:14 UTC

I think I learned about human cruelty and genocide, people killing each other just because of religion, people in power at that time could do whatever they wanted and they didn't feel guilty about killing those people, they felt they were doing the right thing to protect many things, but that's not true at all.

Audrey Question 1

2025-03-03 14:26:15 UTC

Humans have been assigning themselves into groups for thousands of years but they can be beneficial and harmful. An example of a beneficial or harmless group would be a religious group that is peacefully meeting or a school club for chess. An example of a bad group is a group that is plotting someone's death or downfall.

evelynrigling29 — 2025-03-03 14:26:23 UTC

Humans separate themselves into groups so that they feel accepted and that they can be themselves. This behavior is completely harmless as long as everyone does not judge someone based on what "group" they are in.

2025-03-03 14:26:29 UTC

Human separate themselves into groups because they might like to be in smaller groups but also, they find people that they fit with. It would be pretty harmless if you trust the people in your group because you trust the people around you. However it can be a problem if there's a problem that the group doesn't know about, but there's also betrayal within the group, that could lead to many issues for the group as a whole in the future.

Many questions can rise when learning about the topic of the Holocaust but the most common in our time is how we can avoid it again. We wonder what steps we can't take again in chances of repeating history.

#1

2025-03-03 14:26:42 UTC

Humans separate themselves into groups they think they fit into, and this is mostly harmless unless they do something to harm other people or another group of people.

2025-03-03 14:27:05 UTC

Will this ever happen again

#4

rossmarshall29 — 2025-03-03 14:27:10 UTC

How did the Holocaust even begin and why did so many people hate Jews enough to commit genocide?

Question 2

2025-03-03 14:27:21 UTC

We can learn that some people have hatred towards other groups and can create problems that are hard to solve. Also, there are some people out there who can show evil but, there are also people who show kindness and love even in the darkest of times.

1. What is harmless？2. What is harmful?

2025-03-03 14:27:40 UTC

men and women. 2. Good and Bad

New questions that history raises for us in the twenty-first century relating to the holocaust are, How can we stop the holocaust from happening again? What can we do to make ourselves better and to treat everyone with kindness and respect.

2025-03-03 14:27:43 UTC

I think we can learn how much we take for granted when we're researching how much they had stolen from them, their lack of rights and basic human respect that everyone should get, etc.

2025-03-03 14:28:08 UTC

Humans separate themselves into groups because they feel the need to have higher power or more of a popular appearance. The behavior can be harmless when someone such as Mr. Miller says we dont have outside recess or we can clog the hall ways anymore. But this behavior can be a problem/out of hand if someone with more power such as a dictator makes unfair/ bias laws

evelynrigling29 — 2025-03-03 14:28:22 UTC

We can learn about human behavior from studying the Holocaust because we can see how bad some behaviors can be. We can also learn what humans behavior turns into when they are desperate and angry.

emmalunne29 — 2025-03-03 14:28:41 UTC

We can learn all the ways that humans fought mentally and physically through the time of the Holocaust. We learn how for many of their family, friends, or dreams were what kept them pushing.

How can we prevent the Holocaust from happening again?

2025-03-03 14:28:42 UTC

2025-03-03 14:28:48 UTC

We can learn that we should treat everyone like they are like us

From studying the holocaust we can learn that humans have hatred towards other groups of people.

A world without hearts and brains

2025-03-03 14:29:04 UTC

evelynrigling29 — 2025-03-03 14:29:30 UTC

Some things we can learn about ourselves when studying the Holocaust is how nice our life is today. If you think about if you were a Jew back then, it would be torture, so I learned that I am lucky to have what I have.

monpriyayodkad29 — 2025-03-03 14:29:36 UTC

I think humans are very emotional creatures, they tend to act on their own accord, do whatever they want and think it's right, which is not true.

Question 2

2025-03-03 14:29:37 UTC

We learn that humans are sinful creatures and are truly selfish when in near death or fight or flight situations. But there still is hope for humanity even in the peek of all the terror during the Holocaust many Natzis helped the suffering Jews in even small ways proving there is still some hope and light peeking threw the curtain for humanity.

The misery and suffering of those people

2025-03-03 14:29:47 UTC

Question 1

2025-03-03 14:29:54 UTC

I think humans separate themselves to find others who have things in common with them because it is easy to start a conversation with someone when you have something in common to talk about. This can become a problem though because people could start not wanting to add people who are different from them into their group.

Why?

2025-03-03 14:30:35 UTC

2025-03-03 14:30:55 UTC

From learning about the Holocaust, we can learn that human behavior varies. There was a lot of evil people during the Holocaust and we can see that their behavior wasn't good. But I think there were also people who didn't want to be involved in the issue and they may have been forced to. And for the victims of the Holocaust, it's devastating for them, their behavior problem includes being scared and the whole behavior changes from the events they had to go through. That's just some of it though.

Question 4

2025-03-03 14:31:48 UTC

Will people let this happen again or try to keep it from happening again?

2025-03-03 14:31:58 UTC

How preconceived notions can deeply effect the brain of someone and can make them dehumanized.

Luke

lucasglasgow29 — 2025-03-03 14:31:59 UTC

We can learn through the holocaust that people will act differently if it means fitting into a group, no matter how extreme the measure of behavior would be.

2025-03-03 14:33:40 UTC

We can learn why people come to hate certain groups

2025-03-03 14:34:01 UTC

I think that humans separate themselves into groups because it's easier to connect with others when you can relate to them and share interests. It is usually harmless but it turns harmful when a certain group has ill intentions or discriminate towards another.

maxwelltith29 — 2025-03-03 14:34:29 UTC

We can learn just how good we are living today and that we need to be grateful. Today, here in America, we have the freedom to worship and have rights regardless of who we are, but in Nazi Germany, many of us would be persecuted or even killed.

2025-03-03 14:34:41 UTC

Humans separate themselves into groups to be with other people they feel comfortable with and share the same traits, similarities, interest, etc. This behavior can count as harmless because its not affecting people outside your group or the people your around. This can become a problem when people come into your group and don't share the same interests, hobbies, or traits as you, and starts an on and off conflict.

2025-03-03 14:34:42 UTC

What events led to the holocaust?

2025-03-03 14:35:53 UTC

How many people were forced to join the Nazi but didn't really want to?

2025-03-03 14:36:40 UTC

How many people stood up against the Nazis?

Question2

2025-03-03 14:36:52 UTC

Through the Holocaust, we can understand people's hatred for other tribes, and we can also understand the cruel methods of human beings.

Will the Nazi party ever become prominent again?

maxwelltith29 — 2025-03-03 14:42:48 UTC

2025-03-04 14:13:14 UTC

Humans separate themselves into groups because they value similarity. People are likely to be comfortable with the people they share the same interests with. Usually this is harmless when there are no harmful actions toward others and appreciate the differences. But sometimes, people have hate toward the different groups, and harm them. This is when the situation becomes a problem.

2025-03-04 14:15:53 UTC

We can learn the worst of human beings. The propaganda the Nazis used, the mass murder, and discrimination against the Jews were unbelievably terrible.

2025-03-04 14:19:36 UTC

We can learn gratitude. The Jews during the Holocaust experienced horrifying things that they never expected to experience. They lost happiness, family, food, and shelter which they took for granted before the war began. From this, we can learn how to value the daily things that might seem small but are actually very valuable.

2025-03-04 14:20:42 UTC

Why do some people still don't believe the Holocaust happened?

maxwelltith29 — 2025-03-04 17:39:16 UTC

We can learn that people can easily fall for propaganda, as long as what the person showing propaganda presents something that will "benefit" the people.

#3

2025-03-04 17:39:50 UTC

We can learn how we act during times of crisis. Some people will go into fight or flight and they will try to escape, or some people will just deal with it.
