Descriptive Essay: The Serial Killer

As I turned my head to the right the next thing I knew was and guard with and white apron punched me, and screaming in my ears of what seems to be “WHY DID YOU CROSSED THE BORDER?” the guard seems hostile.

    A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are physically abused, 3% are sexually abused, and 2% are psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). The dramatic difference of abuse frequency between people who are serial killers and people who are not seems evident enough to support that serial killers are created.…

    Unnatural Born Killers Conflict is nearly synonymous with human existence. Every action and thought is centered on resolving conflict; conflict with nature, conflict with ourselves, and especially conflict with others. As history shows, conflicts between people are often solved with violence, and as a result war and the warrior were invented. With the centuries of warfare it would be reasonable to assume that humans have evolved to kill, yet the numbers of modern soldiers with psychological damage continues to skyrocket. I argue that people were designed to kill, however we cannot cope with the violence we create.…
