Actually, I was confused about men are naturally violent or is it a matter of conditioning. After reading the “Men-It’s in Their Nature” I have no doubt to say that men are naturally violent. To clearly my statement, I am going to discuss the Sommers’s essay. Looking back of our history, since primitive time, men went out for hunting and women stayed at home to take care of their children and doing house work, or during war time, soldiers who fighting on battles are men. In the essay, Sommers mentioned about the boys “used candles and matches to start a little bonfire” on the desert, and they “loved it”.

The Rudy’s blood then spills onto a lab worker’s face when he breaks the tube in the centrifuge and the virus then gets into his system. He then goes to the movie theatre in Cedar Cree, California, and as he was coughing without covering his mouth, he inadvertently spread the virus to every single person in the theatre. When the group of people is then quarantined in the hospital, they soon realize that the virus is airborne because other patients, who had no direct contact with those quarantined, began showing the symptoms. This new strain of the virus caused people in the entire town to become infected. When Casey’s protective suit burst while they were in the laboratory, he was then infected, and as Robbie tried to draw his blood, his tremors caused her to stick herself with the contaminated needle and she too became ill.
