Kurt Lewin. Resolution of social conflicts (№ 434699)
... there are situations where a friendly attitude is absolutely inappropriate. Friendliness is an inadequate response to an aggressor. Not so long ago, we had the opportunity to see examples from world politics that show how unworthy, morally unseemly and imprudent the position of appeasing the aggressor can be. It's both shameful and stupid to talk in a friendly way with a person who intends to destroy you. For the enemy, such friendly conversation only means that you are either too weak or too cowardly to fight him.
Quote Explanation: Group psychology is something more than the individual psychology of all members of the group. A group can be considered a family, a labor collective, a national minority. But the very first and well-known group for Levin was the Jewish people. Therefore, in 1939, learning from his relatives about what was happening in Germany, Levin wrote the article "In the Face of Danger", in which he analyzes the situation of the Jews from the point of view of social psychology.
