PARAGRAPH 175 SUMMARIZED

The paragraph is all about the laws that prohibits and is strictly against the idea of men having affairs with men.  Due to the severity of the offence, they had a new law, the NSDAP amended the Paragraph 175 that specifies what punishments are given if anyone was found a victim of that crime. Some of the punishments they came up with are imprisonment of three months or ten years depending on the severity of your offence and the loss of civil right might also be imposed.

Most people around the world are against homosexuality, and the idea that humans having affairs with animals are just out of it. They do not give a second look to people like that. It is not like today that some part of the world actually legalizes homosexuality.

How this relates to the lecture,

The film, The Blue Angel, has some underlined way of life for the people back then. The lecture made it clear on how the professor went ahead to have an affair with Lola which was very inappropriate that the students in the class had to draw funny pictures of him. When he saw the picture he was very upset and when watching the movie you could tell that he vented that anger on the students by the way his first lecture was. Him and Lola are considered to have problems based on their sexual desires , it can further be seen in the kind of life she even lead in the movie when she was sleeping around with men and this spited the professor a lot to make him miserable. In her actual life she is seen to be a bi-sexual which was a crime to me those. She had affairs with a lot of people including women. And same sex relationship is what paragraph 175 is seriously against.
