ARM - essay researches

Reading and researching in regards to representations of sufferance and violence I started to become very interested in the psychological side of it. I have specifically focused on the scandal of Abu Ghraib prison in 2004 and came across an expression that really caught my attention, “The banality of evil”, that philosopher Hannah Arendt used to describe Adolph Eichmann's behavior during Nazi period. Eichmann was a Nazi operative responsible for the deportations of millions of Jews and non-Jews to concentration camps. 

Arendt uses this expression referring to human behaviors that ‘happen to be wrong and bad’ without the executor intentions, thanks to his inability to think from someone else's point of view. 

This could happen similarly with the taking and sharing of images of violence and that is what possibly happened at Abu Ghraib prison. When in 2004 a huge number of photographs of Iraqi detainees in situations of distress were discovered, a big scandal aroused. Images of torture and many video footage of presumed interrogations showed U.S. soldiers using unorthodox methods against Iraqi civilians taken as prisoners. 

Many photographs showed criminal and sadistic situations in which U.S. soldiers were happily portrayed as dominators over the helpless inmates. 

Most of these photographs go CLEARLY against any human rightness. 

So the question now is, how possibly can civilized people, born and raised in a society such as the American one, with a certain education and beliefs, be able to do this, not once or twice, but continuously, over a period of time? 

There must be something psychologically embedded into each and every personality behind all this; or could it be society itself that didn’t do a proper job into shaping such mentalities? What kind of rage or hate could possibly be involved in someone’s way of thinking about the other and what could make one think and believe he/she has the right to consider him/herself more worthy of being a human being (considering the term as involving every prerogative of such)? 

This probably goes way over (or deeper?) the rightness or wrongness of portraying other people sufferance, but it definitely puts into discussion two very different considerations of the subject: the one we might, as civilized and learned people, consider as right and the one others, possibly with a differently shaped instruction and social structure, could consider as correct and pursuable.
