what were the principle influences that conditioned the young Hitler character,personality, and weltanschauung?
Hitler had a tough childhood. Most of Adolf Hitler’s siblings died very early on, his brother, Edmund, who was 6 years old died of the measles, which greatly affected him. His mother also died, which also have affected him a lot. All these things have made him the men he was to become and the atrocities he went on to commit.
Hitler was a smart and loving child in primary school. He
changed from being confident and outgoing and an excellent student,
to a morose, detached, and sullen boy who constantly fought with
his father and teachers after the tragic deaths of siblings and
mother.
The driving force behind his thought, emotion, and behavior is the
struggle of striving for superiority. Adolf Hitler’s young age was
not easy, his inferiority and insecurity feeling caused him to fall
in to misery. Regardless of human’s ethic and moral, Adolf Hitler
was an ambitious person.
Adolf Hitler was a neuroticism person, he was the person who would
often experience emotional instability, and much of them being
negative emotions.
He couldn’t make a rational judgment on what is the right and
wrong, conversely bias, prejudice. Perhaps this was the main reason
that how he became extremely anti-Semitism.
