tiger0532 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 So I'm really interested in criminal psychology and I was wondering if there was any way for me to tie that into my HI. If not I do have some other question lined up regarding the holocaust, russia, and world war too. Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomenclature Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Historians are generally extremely cautious in regards to speculating about proper diagnoses for historically misunderstood diseases, and would be even less willing to speculate on a figure's mental health. It's not uncommon to write an analysis positing a motive for an irrational/evil action of a historical figure (an analysis of motives for Operation Barbarossa or U.S. engagement in Vietnam are two different examples that come to mind as extremely common/bordering on overdone). But, that being said, they never attempt to use any psychological theories or teachings. Partially because of what I said above, but also IB does not permit it. They are clear that they do not like interdisciplinary EE's and you will be severely marked down. Good question though. It's certainly better to find out now than later. Explore those other ideas. Good luck. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaferAA Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Maybe you could explore something related to the McCarthy trials? Another possible idea is the interpretations regarding the reasons for the great terror? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger0532 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 so I came up with this question because it would be easiest to have a question on a topic I've already learned about. I came up with this, How did Stalin and FDR’s political, social, and economic decisions affect the course of WWII? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, you'll be interested by one event in particular and focus on that, and maybe even narrow down to that. If you feel like you can perform analysis with something this large, fine, but my mind immediately flew to a bunch of different issues that could be covered under this, and that could indicate you're biting off more than you can chew.
