This allowed Hitler to retain some of the factionalism that had characterized the early life of the party, and to continue to 'play' different political figures and factions off of one another in state conflicts, to support his own power, so that he always 'won' in the end. Ultimately, all legal authority rested in Hitler's hands.
By undercutting the sanctity of a legal system and making the true control of the state rest in the hands of one, singular authority, Hitler was also able to distance himself from potentially unpopular political decisions. This sense of unstable authority kept all lower officials constantly in a state of anxiety as to their opinion in the eyes of the great leader, as to whether they would be blamed when things went amiss, and thus everyone catered to all of Hitler's whims. Kershaw calls the state's structure almost feudal-like in its arrangement, with every lower official striving to please the lord. Although Hitler kept himself abreast of all of the actions of his minions, lower-level...
This means that for some of the most notorious legal decision of the Reich there is no single document or signature that can implicate Hitler, although virtually every anti-Semitic decision made by the regime can be traced back to his leadership.
Hitler chose to govern his state in such a fashion to create a legal framework that would provide a surface justification for his authority in the eyes of the populace, but would keep both the people of Germany and the people closest to him within the Nazi power structure in a constant state of anxiety. He created a state lead by a cult of personality, yet a legal structure in which there was final need for Hitler to take responsibility for every action made by the state.

Authority and Leadership in Germany "This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face-to-face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war." ~ Remarque, All Quite on the Western Front. Germany in the time preceding

Therefore, in order to protect itself from charges of discrimination in the interview process, the employer first needs to ensure that whoever is doing the interviewing does not engage in any type of overtly discriminatory behavior. While this may seem self-explanatory, the reality is that every single person carries with them a set of stereotypes and prejudices, and, without appropriate training, may not even be aware when they are relying
Furthermore, he believed any attempt to level out these differences are authoritative for Christian thought (Bright and Kelsey 1967). Along with that, it is clear that he believed that the differences are very difficult to figure out, which may explain why his thesis was unclear. We shall never hear the Old Testament's word rightly unless we are willing to hear it all. That is to say, we must hear it
He also feels as though authority is contextual in that it is something people learn to respect and wield differently in different environments and social realities (Burger, 2009). This is to say that the Milgram studies were snapshots of a very specific culture and time period, as Blass suggests, and that they may not represent the ultimate knowledge of the concepts of obedience and authority as many researchers and
