Differences Between NCIS And And Then There Were None

Improved Essays
Crime is all a matter of perspective. To many people, crime is a distant idea for them, but it is always present in the world. It is something unacceptable that is looked down upon and is punishable by law. But to others, crime is the only option they are compelled to. The government has seemingly given up on them and they have nowhere else to go to acquire food in their stomachs and maybe a little bit of protection. Some commit crimes to feel alive, to feel that feeling of adventure and danger. And others commit crime to stay alive because they have lost all hope in any other pursuit of life. The real question is, what would you do in these “criminals” shoes. Would you do what they do? Does that justify their actions because most would do …show more content…
The show and the book are two very different scenarios, but they can contain the same ideas. For example, every person has a different brain and therefore thinks and reacts differently to the world around them. But in this way, many people are also similar to each other because of instinct or wanting to survive. Some who have murdered never let go of the past, can never see past it because it has torn them apart more than they ever wanted. This includes self defense or premeditated murder as well because I know that even if I was protecting myself, I would still feel the everlasting guilt of it all. Others feel nothing afterwards; it is just a tally mark on their long line of deaths. Usually, these people are considered to be a psychopath because they have some kind of mental disorder that increases the amount of violence in social behavior. On the other hand, a difference is the time period and technology of that period. And Then There Were None is set in the 1930s on an island off the coast of Britain. While NCIS is filmed during the early 2000s and is still going. The technology is much different between these two time periods, especially the police technology. Many new techniques and inventions are created between then and now that could very much help the people of that time find out who a murderer is, or at least solidify their accusations. Ultimately, the reason for murder is different between the show and the book. In the book, Justice Wargrave murders all of the people because he wanted to create a mystery. He wanted to throw a bottle into the ocean that contained the answer to so many questions unknown to all. And that is what he did, he created a mystery for the police that could go on forever if no one finds the bottle (Christie). But in the show, the marine died because many of the marines were in debt from gambling. A couple other marines cut the

    Why is crime such a large part of our everyday society? Since the beginning of time, crime has been a large part of history, which gradually increased throughout the years, and continues today in everyday life. Crime is something that is caused by either force, impulse, fun, accident, or environmental factors. Some people have been raised since childhood in areas where crime rates were at a high and this may have compelled them to follow a negative figure, thus resulting in that person committing crimes. Malcolm Gladwell, author of Power of Context: Bernie Goetz and the Rise and Fall of New York City Crime, mentions how key concepts shape the way in which crimes are performed through an individual’s involvement with his or her environment and…

    Society believes that there are some crimes that should be offered some leeway, and should very well be supported for this since some crimes are done for necessity, ruthless criminals wouldn’t be eligible for the leeway, and putting the convicted to jail would put the troubled victim into even more trouble. A criminal could be convicted for various types of crimes, but some would be convicted for stealing to fulfill basic necessities such as food, or medical treatment. A person who would steal a medication for their son is justified for his actions because he had wanted to save a life dear to him. It is often seen immoral to put a price on a person’s life, thus the crime that is used for survival is not sinister, and deserves some sort of exception…

    Since the beginning of civilization there has been crime. People, for years, have tried to eliminate crime in many ways. For many today, people believe prision is a way to be rid of crime and keep our streets safe. To believe that prison is the only way is a path of ignorance. Proof of this comes from; a town in Georgia has figured out an issue that Chicago has been dealing with for years, a criminology report has shown the failures of a prison, and the fraction of issues stopped but a majority rise.…

    I strongly thought that a world without crime is the ideal and perfect way of life. This was not the case; in fact it has come to me that crime is almost essential to going about with everyday life. Crime has a purpose of reinforcing the moral codes amongst society; it helps people know what actions are right and wrong. Durkheim, a new theorist for me, described crime as being “those actions that offended against collective feelings or sentiments”. NEWBURN, T. (2013) Durkheim, anomie and strain.…
