By reading both Grendel and Beowulf you are able to perceive how Beowulf and the humans see Grendel against how Grendel sees himself. In Beowulf, Grendel was a bloodthirsty force of destruction, and a ruthless beast. Constantly attracting Hrothgars mead hall and killing innocent for fun, Grendel's attack is described as "Suddenly then/ the God-cursed brute was creating havoc:/ greedy and grim, he grabbed thirty men/ from their resting places and rushed to his lair,/ flushed up and inflamed from the raid,/ blundering back with the butchered corpses" (Beowulf 120-125).

Due to the fact that Beowulf is telling the story, were only able to see what he and the other humans see about Grendel and thus can only find a way to relate to those characters and only know what they and the author tell us.

In which, society have their own conscience and beliefs replaced by those imposed from above. Secondly, this essay will show that ‘The Knife of Never Letting Go’ expounds that the human condition is completely corrupted and fraudulent. The inhabitants within ‘The Knife of Never Letting Go’ are living in a overly dystopian world, where all males are exposed to the ‘germ’, which projects each individuals thoughts and beliefs into pictures and sound, called ‘the Noise’.

Because of Morrie, Mitch became a whole new person. Mitch, who was out of work due to an allied strike against the newspaper he writes for, continually reads and notices the homicides, theft, and many other gruesome crimes that serve to juxtapose the evil of the popular culture with the goodness of the world that Morrie has created for himself. Morrie portrays the media as being truly evil, sucking Mitch dry of his passion and ambition, and replacing the goodness of the world with hatred and murder. Morrie tells Mitch that “so many people walk around with a meaningless life” (Albom 23), and spend their life “chasing the wrong things” (Albom, 23). Mitch knew he was right.
Zar Mohammad has earned a considerable sum of money and embarks on trading but he is ripped out of his money by the governor.

Once the law is too slow to mete out justice to the ones who deserve it, anarchy will prevail with the consequence that people will decide their own fate and exercise justice in the light of their own definition of the concept.
Genocide is basically premeditated mass murder. Goodman questions why mass murder is any different from a criminal killing an individual victim.

I think that genocide is by far the worst crime in the world.
