nazi ideology was a worldview that claimed to explain everything about the world and how it functions
at its core the nazi world view was racism and biological positivesiting that the so-called aan race
primarily the north europeans was the superior race of human beings to which nearly all positive human
development in science technology art architecture and other fields could be attributed all other races
and peoples save the jews were viewed as occupying rungs below the arians in a sort of hierarchy of
races various west europeans such as the french and italians were relatively high in the hierarchy and
others particularly the slavic peoples very low the arians inate superiority granted them the right and
obligation to rule over other races and peoples for the benefit of humankind the jews in complete
contrast were seen as a kind of anti-racce danger inhuman beings in seemingly human form they were
viewed alternatively as microbes and parasites or as devils that is inhuman creatures with superhuman
power a threat to the very existence of the world a danger of cosmic proportions and radical danger
required a radical total and irreversible solution or from where did the nazis derive these ideas and to
what extent were their ideas in sync with the world at the time we should first note that everything that
hitler and the nazi believers argued had been said the nazi world view claimed to be scientific and
indeed it based itself on and drew from various scientific developments in the modern era let's take a
look at some of the various sources from which the nazis drew christian anti-judaism the development
of new fields of research in social sciences and humanityities particularly philology and antiology the
development of modern racismism particularly the theory of evolution genetics and eugenics and
modern anti-semitism christian anti-judaism from early christian times onward was essentially an attack
on jewish belief the jews were accused of deide rejecting and then killing the messiah that god had sent
they were accused of blinding themselves to the truth and hence christianity had replaced judaism as
the new israel jews were accused of being in league with the devil and of engaging in evil practices such
as the charge that they kill christian children to use their blood and rituals the so-called blood libel still at
its core this attacks sought to convert the jews to a christians believed was the one truth christianity the
treatment of the jews was often brutal and at times murderous but this anti-judaism left open and
escape clause for jews conversion any jew who converted to christianity is essentially solved the
problem yet this anti-judaism also left an imprint on european society and its view of the jews and the
nazis used this imprint to good advantage in gaining tacit or active support in germany and all of europe
philosophical and scientific developments in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries both advanced
societies and justified inquality at the same whereas christian belief and the new modern secular
humanism shared a conviction that all human beings are potentially equal whether because they are
created in god's image or because all are born equal some scholars in the new fields of philology
anthropology and bi sought to exploit these sciences in order to demonstrate the supposed and
inherentent inequality of peoples many of these scientific pioneers argued that the differences between
languages peoples and cultures pointed to the superiority of some over others charles darwin's theory
of evolution provided these scientists the missing scientific theory that helped explain common origins
to seemingly disparate things many philologists pointed to the indo-european languages a new concept
of a language group as the most developed and superior language family while many anthropologists
pointed to some european cultures as more developed in advanced than other cultures their research
provide a scientific underpinning for the racist theories that developed and nazi theorists and supporters
later seized on these ideas and tried unsuccessfully to provide scientific evidence to support them the
important sociologist in physiologist herbert spencer promoted a theory known as social genertis= in the
eighteen fifty s in contrast to darwin's theory of evolutionary development in the plant and animal
worlds through natural selection over eons of time spencer argued for struggle and the survival of the
fittest in the human social order in the present tense he believed the strong must rule and the weak
must submit by the mid eighteen hundreds racism that claimed to be scientifically based had become
widely accepted but this modern racism saw not only people of dark skin as inferior but also divided
white people into races counts arthur dego beott's eighteen fifty five book on the inequality of the races
based itself on research in philology and anthropology to argue that the white races are superior to the
black and yellow and that the arians are the superior race among white races the field of eugenics grew
out of research into genetics and heredity by the early eighteen eighty s francecis galulton had
developed the ideas that society should promote the propagation of certain desirable traits this could
for example help eliminate certain diseases positive eugenics advocated in encouraging procreation
between those with desirable traits while negative eugenics advocated limiting or preventing
procreation between people with undesirable traits university genetics departments were created in
western countries many of which employed national eugenic policies in the twentieth century the nazis
seized upon these ideas as part basis to subjugate persecute or even destroy various kinds of people
developments in science and other fields impacted on europeans' attitudes toward jews jews continued
to be generally perceived as strangers in to society bearers of a foreign language culture religion and
more modern intellectuals animists against jews could no longer be based on religious belief but rather
uns science supposedly modern antisemitism emerged like the new social science and political theories
anti-semitism too claimed to be scientific anti-semitism supposedly hared to science as the basis for its
antagonism to jews antisemitism a term coined by willhelmmar in seventy nine was ideological racist
political and organized the jews were now viewed as an evil and destructive race and evil that was
immutable which meant that the jews increasing integration into society should be reversed the nazi
worldview coalesced in an age of ideologies from the mid nineteenth century to nearly the mid
twentieth century many competing and conflicting ideologylogies arose seeking to explain the world and
society and claiming to have the formula to make a perfect world out of hitler and his followers also
claimed to explain and fixed the world to perfection they drew upon scientific and other modern
developments and merged these ideas with german folkkish ideology a german racial nationalistic
ideology that saw all germans as organically biologically connected to each other and to the soil of their
country it was in his book mineconf published in nineteenth but also divided white people into races
count joseph arthur degobiot's eighteen fifty five book on the inequality of the races based itself on
research in philology and anthropology to argue that the white races are superior to the black and
yellow and that the arians are the superior race among white races the field of eugenics grew out of

view led to many policies that were based on the nineteenth and early twentieth century scientific and
ideological developments such as labans realm living space based on the false contention that german is
the most overcrowded country and germans have the right to expand eastward in order to gain living
space or operation t four the so-called euthanasia program in which some two hundred thousand
german and austrian mentally handicapped people were murdered and most pronouncedly the nazi
campaign against the jews nazi policymaking a nineteen thirty three to nineteen forty five was
ideologically based on the nazi worldview yet policies could make tactical compromises on many issues
in order to achieve their aims there was only one issue on which there could be no compromise the jews
whatever policy was decided upon would ultimately affect all jews the nazis innovation was not in their
ideas which as we have seen they borrowed from earlier thinking their innovation lay in molding these
ideas into a comprehensive worldview that was the basis for the policymaking of a modern scientifically
technologically an educationally advanced country and it was from this worldview that the final solution
ultimately emerged twenty five and in subsequent talks and actions that hitler developed this into a

1. DISCUSS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BIOLOGICAL RACISM CULTURE IN NAZI IDEOLOGY IN THE
FOLLOWING AREAS:

a. CHRISTIAN ANTI-JUDAISM—

The development of biological racism culture in Nazi Christian anti-judaism includes the new fields
of research in social sciences and humanities, particularly philology and anthology. However, Nazi
requests the middle age Christian enemy of Jewish blood slander that erroneously blames Jews for
capturing Christian youngsters (uniquely young men, recommending they are abducting Jesus) to
gather blood for matzah. The apparent connection among Jews and Satan connects with against
Jewish manner of speaking that traces all the way back to the New Testament.The development of
modern racism particularly the theory of evolutionary genetics and eugenics and modern
antisemitism, Christian anti-judaism from early Christian times onward was essentially an attack on
Jewish’s conviction the Jews were blamed for dismissal and afterward killing the savior that God had
sent. They were blamed for blinding themselves to reality. Christianity had supplanted Judaism as
the new Israel Jews were blamed for being allied with Satan and of participating in malicious
practices, for example, the charge that they kill Christian kids to utilize their blood and ceremonies
the alleged blood criticism. These assaults tried to change the Jews over completely to what
Christians accepted was the one genuine Christianity. The treatment of the Jews was frequently
ruthless and on occasion dangerous yet this enemy of judaism left an open loophole for Jews'
transformation where any Jews who switched over completely to Christianity basically tackled the
issue. However, this enemy of judaism likewise left an engraving on European culture and its
perspective on the Jews and the nazis capitalized on this engraving in acquiring unsaid or dynamic
help in Germany and all of Europe.

2. PHILOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY AND OTHER MODERN SCIENCES

The improvement of new fields of research in sociologies and humanities especially philology and
anthropology became the advancement of present day's racismism especially the theory of
development hereditary qualities and genetic counseling and current Christian times. The Philology
which defines as the branch of knowledge that deals with the structure, historical development, and
relationships of a language or languages. Similar to this, the idea of focusing on the natural structure of
texts has been at the starting points of current philology. problems of meaning and translation created
an excess throughout the nineteenth century that can be depicted with regards to cultural exploration.
Subsequently authentic philology unequivocally augmented its practice toward social understanding.

Meanwhile, anthropology also has an impact in the development of biological racism based on Nazi’s
ideology. Since anthropology is the study of mankind, including ancient beginnings and contemporary
human diversity. Contrasted to other disciplines that concentrate on mankind (like history, economics,
political theory, and social science), is more extensive in scope. This became the search into the laws of
societal life, and thus the “art of racial hygiene in biological racism.

3. SOCIAL DARWINISM
Nazi theorists and supporters later take Darwinism ideas and tried unsuccessfully to provide scientific
evidence to support them the important sociologist in physiologist herbert spencer promoted a theory
known as social genetics in the eighteen fifties. In contrast to Darwin's theory of evolutionary
development in the plant and animal worlds through natural selection over eons of time spencer argued
for struggle and the survival of the fittest in the human social order in the present tense he believed the
strong must rule and the weak must submit by the mid eighteen hundreds racism that claimed to be
scientifically based had become widely accepted. In addition, social darwinists believe in "natural
selection" — the possibility that specific individuals become strong in the public eye since they are
inherently better. Social Darwinism has been utilized to legitimize colonialism, racism, genetic
counseling and social inequality at different times that’s why biological racism has been developed
through years.
4. GENETICS AND EUGENICS

Genetics and eugenics have impacts in biological racism from early Christian times. It was essentially an
attack on Jewish belief that the jews were accused of rejecting and then killing the messiah that god had
sent they were accused of blinding themselves to the truth and hence Christianity had replaced Judaism
as the new Israel jew. Likewise, the superior race among white races the field of eugenics grew out of
research into genetics and heredity by the early eighteen eighty s Francis Galton had developed the idea
that society should promote the propagation of certain desirable traits this could for example help
eliminate certain diseases positive eugenics advocated encouraging procreation between those with
desirable traits while negative eugenics advocated limiting or preventing procreation between people
with undesirable traits.

2. WHAT MORAL STANDARDS/VALUES DOES THIS BIOLOGICAL RACISM VIOLATE/UNDERMINE? CAN


THESE BIOLOGICAL RACISMS PROVE THAT SUCH CULTURES ARE IMMORAL AND MUST BE STOPPED?

In this scenario, moral development, reasoning, and judgment are the moral standards that violates by
biological racism. Not only are we concerned with doing what is right in this situation, but also with how
we can get at doing what is right. After all, very few individuals would disagree with what is good and
wrong when it comes to racism. Except for leftists, nobody would want to support racism; most of us
can recognize offensive racial behavior when we encounter it.Knowing the fundamental assumptions
and motivations of stereotypes, racism-related prejudice, and discrimination is crucial. Traditionally, we
have thought of the fundamental structure in terms of hate. But not all racism is motivated by hate.
Understanding the various root causes of racial prejudice and discrimination is crucial. Moreover, First,
racism is present in many aspects of daily life. Second, we perpetuate racialized contexts in daily activity
by our choices and preferences. Third, we live in cultural environments that support racialized ways of
being, thinking, and acting. This viewpoint concentrates intervention efforts on altering discussion
something to that reflect and reproduce racial dominance rather than individual tendencies and it must
be stopped by an authority for us to live fair and happy life.

3. MORAL RESPONSIBILITY: WHAT DO YOU THINK CAN BE DONE IN ORDER TO PREVENT (or at least TRY
TO PREVENT) SUCH INJUSTICE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN?

All lives are equal in our eyes. Nobody should face prejudice or endure hardship. Everybody should be
able to speak up against injustice, assert their human rights, and work for a better future in a just and
sustainable world. We should have moral responsibility in our own. We may apply these steps to ensure
that nobody is at harm and also to prevent injustices from happening again. First, the collaboration at
the heart of everything we do is our top priority. Next is we need amplify the voices and actions of
people that experience poverty and injustice and work with those who fight for. Then we think first the
consequences of our actions before applying actions in all communities. Lastly, we can approach gender
justice and women's and men's rights in all of our acts and analyze everything through a feminist lens.
