Just as the scientists do, these people fid ways to trap there people into lacking a lot of things a good person would have. The violence in Winston’s world I caused by very controlling people who likes power and turns it into evil. The war with Eurasia and the killing of the people, the banishment of the population once things are being done wrong or someone doing something against regulations. This act is like a flip in the script, once the people in the population does something out of bound, it’s like they are being evil, when it’s really the other way
They contrast each other making each more black or more white. In this paragraph Mr. Harvey and just how evil he is will be discussed. On page 26 we see that Mr. Harvey is so evil he has convinced himself he is innocent. “He wore his innocence like a comfortable old coat.” He has gotten away with murdering people so many times it has just become natural to him. Right from the very beginning it is apparent that Mr. Harvey is evil.
Within the source it is stated how More was often “taunting and mocking” people. This suggests More was cruel towards others and those below him in both rank and society. However, this evidence could be seen as an attack on More by his enemies. This is because the torture acts mentioned in Source N were taken from John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. This book documented the acts of torture and violence against protestants, and would therefor be highly critical of those in high positions, such as More.
In John Steinbeck’s book, The Grapes of Wrath, he shows the cruelties people are capable of when they do separate themselves from others and District 9, a film directed by Neill Blomkamp, makes clear what can happen when people dehumanize another species. Dehumanization bringing about destruction
They both show how power can be abused, how it affects human behavior and how good people can do bad things. In the experiment Zimbardo finds his self-becoming a part of the experiment as well. In a sense he is kind of like Hitler. Hitler started all of this; he was the man behind all of the killings. He was the one giving out the orders and dehumanizing the Jews.
Ivan was on his death bed and he could still scare a group of people into doing what he wanted them to do. In the book Ivan the Terrible: Profiles in Power by Andrei Pavlov and Maureen Perrie they believe although Ivan was a cruel man he was a brilliant leader. He used violence to get what he wanted and to help reform Russia. They do not see Ivan as a mentally ill tyrant but instead a wise leader. The book acknowledges Ivan’s terror and cruelty over the people of Russia, but they do not see his destruction as illogical and random.
After listing these potential actions, Szegedy-Maszak asks, “Are there particular conditions in Iraq today that might shed light on why these soldiers committed these unconscionable acts?” (Szegedy-Maszak 211) Szegedy-Maszak declares that in a 1971 study by psychologist Philip Zimbardo, showed how cruel people can be to each other because a higher power told them they could to enforce superiority. In his study at Stanford University, Zimbardo created a fake prison with students being selected randomly as guards or prisoners. The experiment shockingly showed the “guards” torturing and manipulating the prisoners. In another study preformed many years earlier by Stanley Milgram at Yale, gave students permission to engage in sending electric shocks to an actor that was strapped to an electric chair. The experiments were supposed to be about different forms of studying.
Shakespeare has written his character Iago as the perfect stereotypical sociopath. In fact, the play Othello could be used as a case study in a psychology class. When one reads down the list of sociopathic traits Iago has them all; he is a sociopath to the nth degree. Some including Othello, would argue that Iago is the devil incarnate. Othello, himself states “that thou be’st a devil, I cannot kill thee.” He then stabs Iago but only wounds him, showing that he thinks that Iago is the devil.
A comparison between A Tell-Tale Heart and American Psycho Introduction A Tell-Tale heart is about a man and his urge to kill another man. American Psycho is about a man and his urge to kill other people. The two protagonists are both insane and dealing with a comprehensive problem. There is one slight distinction between them; Patrick Bateman's victims are in plural, the narrator in A Tell-Tale Heart's victim is in singular. Bateman kills people for his own satisfaction, the nameless narrator does it because of his urge to get rid of an eye.
There are some direct similarities such as sex and confrontations, but we have to keep in mind that the people on the photos from Iraq are dead or tortured and the people in reality can leave whenever they want. That’s is a huge difference. The writer claims that the photos are a kind of a reflection of the moral (or the missing morale) in our society and culture. He questions why the soldiers would show themselves as heartless murders to the whole world. He explains this by describing how the soldiers has absorbed the attitude about the missing boundaries in exposure when in comes to television and communication and when they are in war and have the ultimate power compared to their prisoners the restrains disappear and things can get a lot more violent as they did in Abu
