The Wave;2

What does this experiment say about the cause of the Holocaust?
Good people can be brainwashed to do horrible things. People need to be indivuals and not persuaded in a group. The students were treated like Nazis; they liked the idea because he made them be special. People thought it was okay to hurt people for no reason, only because Mr. Ross said it was. Nobody should be able to hurt anyone, people have to listen to themselves and not from other people.

The Wave;

How can movements such as The Wave be defeated?
The movements such as the Wave can be defeated by learning about it so it doesn’t happen again. It can also be defeated by experiencing, when people experience it they would feel how Nazis felt and would think again before doing it. Ways of learning about it is through the internet, books, and teachers. There were bad effects that happened during the Wave like hurting people, breaking friendship. People need freedom and make their own choices Hitler was making them for them.


What does this film say about authority and power?
All of the kids were getting sucked into doing work from the teacher. Mr.Ross was making the kids want to do their homework because they felt a part of something. When power is abused and decision making is token away people can do bad things.Mr. Ross was making kids feel good; he took the poor people and made them feel like something, like they belonged. People got hurt and that made people feel good about themselves.
