Eichmann And Stangl: Two Different People Or Two Different Authors?

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Human behavior is a complicated and curious equation. The answer to why a particular action is exhibited may be locked away in centuries worth of evolution, yet it continues to be displayed even today. Contemporary sociologists have come to understand that the human mental condition is part of a complex interplay between the environment and biology. Indeed, there is a direct link between brain chemistry and structure that ultimately dictates behavior. Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem : A Report on the Banality of Evil" and Gitta Sereny's "Into That Darkness : An Examination of Conscience" discuss such behavior as it relates to infamous Holocaust personalities Eichmann and Stangl. However, upon reading these accounts, one is compelled to ponder whether these men represent two different people or two different authors. No additional sources cited.
