Crazy Celebrity

Adolf Hitler: Dictator of Germany during WWII.  Wanted to terminate all jews by putting them in concentration camps.  He ended up getting Germany in a 2 sided war against Russia and the allies.  Once they were on the verge of losing the war, he commited suicide.

Cognitive: Hitler believed that if he got rid of all the jews then he would become a hero to the public and become successful.

Psychodynamic: Because Hitler did terrible in school and had no money or place to live once his mother and father died, he started to act against jews because of stereotypes that they were successful.

Biological: It is a fact that people with stressful lives tend to be more aggressive. Hitler had both of his parents die before he was 20 and had no money or job.  He uses his aggression to make people suffer.

Humanistic: Hitler's experience in the German Army made him want more power than just a gun.  He wanted to become the leader of the army so he could spread his power across the continent.

Behavioral: Hitler was promoted for his duty in the army which was to kill and this made him think that if he killed more he would be rewarded even more.

Social-Cultural: As dictator he continued his aggression but acted defensively whenever something didn't go his way.
