Macbeth and Batman share many similarities that surprisingly do not appeal to most individuals, most teacher or students would not even try to find a comparison between Batman and Macbeth because of the lack of ambition, but frankly there are many comparisons such as the influence of many dark supernatural forces that foresee chaos, also the hero to villain concept and the tragic past and privileged lives both Macbeth and Batman had.

Weekly Position Paper #1 Equality in the Justice System Although many researchers have found biological reasoning toward many serial killings, it is no reason to justify serial killers’ acts and harm onto society. It is believed that many serial killers are perceived to have a mental disorder of some kind, causing them to enact in murders without feeling any guilt or concern over their actions. Jack Pemment’s “What Would We Find Wrong in the Brain of a Serial Killer?” depicts the mental disorders: Atisocial Personailty Disorder (APD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Narcisstic Personality Disorder (NPD) and schizophrenia in the order from most recognized to least.
