Sophie Scholl wrote that the yardstick inside every person is the "most difficult yardstick." What do you think she meant? What standards did
she try to hold herself to? In a 250-word essay, describe Sophie's views
and relate them to your own. Use details from the text to support your
analysis.

Answer and Explanation:

Sophie believed that the ultra nationalist, socialist and Nazi concepts were built with the national and social parameters that each country presented. These parameters were easy to analyze and understand how these political philosophies were established. However, the citizens of each country had their own parameters to accept or refuse these philosophies and these parameters were difficult to be analyzed due to the diversity of thoughts and motives that promoted them. From this form, it is difficult to understand why each person decided to support these concepts.

Sophia, however, did not agree with the Nazi and ultra nationalist positions and began to question them, establishing a pattern of refusal to them and a position of regeijão and resistance to them.
