Question
schindler’s list
claim and support/evidence
question: is evil something you are born with or is evil something that can be created based on the environment?
claim\tsupport/evidence
- commander kills for entertainment\t- kills a child for fun
To answer the question about whether evil is innate or environmental, we analyze the claim and evidence. The claim that a commander kills for entertainment and the evidence of killing a child for fun suggest that such extreme evil acts could be shaped by the environment of war and dehumanization in "Schindler’s List". In the context of the Holocaust (the environment here), the dehumanizing system and war - time culture could create a mindset where such evil acts are committed, rather than it being an innate trait (as not all people in normal environments kill for fun or entertainment). So, evil can be created by the environment.

Evil is something that can be created based on the environment. The evidence (killing a child for fun) and the claim (commander kills for entertainment) from "Schindler’s List" show that in the dehumanizing, war - time environment of the Holocaust, such evil behaviors emerged, suggesting environment - driven evil rather than innate evil.
