Arendt argued that evil acts aren’t nessacarily committed by innately evil people, but by those who are innately banal. In other words, bystanders are the ones who perpetuate evil, because they do nothing to step out of line and stop. Rather than choosing to be good or evil, they merely follow along mindlessly. Arendt made an example of out Adolf Eichmann, one of the major Nazi organizers of the Holocaust. He had no remorse for the atrocities that he committed, but at the same time, Arendt argued that he did not commit those acts with a malicious intent. He just did them without protest, without acknowledging the moral compass that all humans possess.

The main idea that I interpreted from Arendt’s “The Banality of Evil” was that in order to prevent evil, people must call a spade a spade. By that, she meant that you cannot just turn a blind eye to the monstrosity that occurs in the world; we must call out the evil with utter conviction, or else we only perpetuate the bad as banal non-beings. If we don’t choose our own path, we merely follow the rules of others, losing the ability to form our own thoughts about what’s right and what’s wrong, therefore losing to ability to feel remorse. As a result, those who are mediocre may be the most evil ones of all.
