Mind Map #6
Eichman was just trying to be obedient
Eichmann wasn't acting in an abnormal way
Eichmann is not an extraordinary individual
He isn't smart in any way
He is extraordinary evil
Average and mundane person
normality is no protection from evil
normal people are capable of terrible things
Acting what he thinks is normally but lacks critical thought
Critical thinking is perhaps a means of resisting participation in systems that are unjust
He thought he is just another gear in the system
Banality
Abundance of normalcy rather then villainy
Thinks he just following his job
Not trying to do anything to disrupt his lifestyle
Not trying to change his families life
People are willing to listen after being pushed a little
All of us give up autonomy at some point
Obeys because he respects the person in charge
Evil is seen as normalcy
We have to sacrifice for the team
A normal man capable of doing evil things
