When acts deemed heinous by the state and society are legalized the moment they enter battle, and when the state and society demand and encourage them, will young people truly commit murder without any psychological conflict? And when they return to society, will they live normal lives as if nothing had happened? Grossman's argument begins with this very question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMurder, a fear greater than death\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We are accustomed to the battle scenes depicted by Hollywood.\u003cbr\u003e The battle scenes recreated with cutting-edge technology are so incredibly dynamic and vivid that it feels like you're watching an actual battle. \u003cbr\u003eBut Grossman asserts that most of the fight scenes Hollywood portrays are lies.\u003cbr\u003e In movies, we see Hollywood heroes like James Bond, Rambo, and Indiana Jones killing hundreds of people as if it were nothing.\u003cbr\u003e But these descriptions tell us nothing about the nature of the murder.\u003cbr\u003e Because the reality is completely different.\u003cbr\u003e Grossman's argument begins with the assumption that there is a deep-seated aversion to killing fellow human beings.\u003cbr\u003e For those who believe that murder is difficult and that they are incapable of killing someone, Grossman says that anyone can and does commit murder given the right training and environment. \u003cbr\u003eConversely, for those who believe that anyone who encounters someone intent on killing them would kill anyone, Grossman presents ample evidence showing that the vast majority of soldiers in history have never considered killing an enemy, even when their own lives were in danger.\u003cbr\u003e The aversion to killing is so strong that it can lead to death before a soldier can overcome it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e During World War II, the U.S. military made efforts to keep over 800,000 soldiers classified as mentally unfit for military service (F-4) and kept them out of combat. However, over 500,000 soldiers, equivalent to 50 divisions, were evacuated due to mental illness.\u003cbr\u003e Why do so many psychological casualties occur during war? Many researchers have studied this question. \u003cbr\u003eThey gave several reasons, stating that the main cause of psychological damage was the soldiers' fear that they might be killed or injured.\u003cbr\u003e However, Grossman refutes these claims, arguing that the fear of having to kill and the guilt that follows actual killing are the main causes of mental illness in soldiers.\u003cbr\u003e Grossman also analyzes in detail the psychological processes that occur during actual killing.\u003cbr\u003e First, it details the intensity of the psychological burden of murder, which varies depending on the physical distance, and then comprehensively analyzes the various factors that enable soldiers to kill, such as orders from authority figures, collective absolution, emotional distance (cultural distance, moral distance, social distance, mechanical distance), the characteristics of the victim, and the killer's aggressive tendencies. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512 pages | 786g | 152*223*30mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788932923468\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8932923469 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894431383594,"sku":"141049","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/61eba994b9a1d0a5761162dc3a605d16.jpg?v=1765433247","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/141049","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
