For A Person To Feel Responsible For

The Disappearance Of A Sense Of Responsibility Is The Most Far-reaching Consequence Of Submission To Authority.

Although A Person Acting Under Authority Performs Actions That Seem To Violate Standards Of Conscience, It Would Not Be True To Say That He Loses His Moral Sense. Instead, It Acquires A Radically Different Focus. He Does Not Respond With A Moral Sentiment To The Actions He Performs. Rather, His Moral Concern Now Shifts To A Consideration Of How Well He Is Living Up To The Expectations That The Authority Has Of Him.

Even Eichmann Was Sickened When He Toured The Concentration Camps.

And Perhaps Our Awareness Is The First Step To Our Liberation.

It Is Not So Much The Kind Of Person A Man Is As The Kind Of Situation In Which He Finds Himself That Determines How He Will Act.
