ABOUT SERIAL KILLERS
introduction
Let's play a quick game of catchphrase - guess the word. My phrase is two words , and describes a person . Charles Manson. Ted Bundy. Jack the Ripper . Serial killer - serial meaning "arranged in a straight line or succession" (1) and killer meaning "one who kills, or any agent used to neutralize the active property of anything ."
We tend to have a morbid interest in people who commit murder . Today , I'd like to explain what distinguishes serial killing from mass murders, how long serial killing has been around, and highlight some of the psychological traits common to serial killers.

Body


  • Serial killing vs mass murders
    Now at a glance serial killing and mass murder seems basically the same : one person kills many other people. The distinction between the two is notable: mass murder happens when one person murders multiple people at one specific place and one specific time. When we look at the perpetrators of the Aurora, Colorado and Sandy Hook, Connecticut shootings, we have two perfect examples of mass murderers. They went to one place (a movie theater , a school) and killed several people within a very short amount of time.
    Serial killing, on the other hand, can happen in one place, but generally occurs over a period of time. The standard distinction between serial killing and multiple murders is that serial killers murder three or more people within the time frame of one month (3). A serial killer will murder 12 people over the course of 4 months or so; a mass murderer will do so in the matter of moments.
  • Serial killing history
    Looking back in history we can easily see mass murderers - from Hitler to Genghis Khan, the most notorious criminal murderers were generally warmongers. However, serial killers before the 1900s are much less publicized. One of the earliest known serial killers was Gilles de Rais, who terrorized his community in the 15th century . The man "raped, mutilated, and murdered an estimated 150 children (though some estimates put that number over 800)" over the course of about 20 years (4). He was executed in 1440 as perhaps one of the world's earliest serial killers.
    I mentioned Jack the Ripper earlier as perhaps one of the most famous historical serial killers. His exploits in 19th century London were the basis for a surge in public interest into serial killing. In the 1920s there were two films based on stories of serial killing. In the 2000s, more than 300 of the released films were based on serial killers, fictional and historical alike. (5)
  • The psychology of serial killers
    "But she or he was a kind, sympathetic person!" is a common cry after ruling that someone is guilty of serial murder, because serial killers are normal people. There are lots of other problems with trying to profile serial killers - for example, Finnish serial killers tend to be alcoholics. German serial killers tend to have lower-than- average intelligence. That being said, here are some commonalities:
    Serial killers tend to be people of average intelligence from troubled homes . They have been subject to psychiatric evaluation, but only 20% received psychiatric treatment. Many of them are employed in stable jobs . One thing that is not consistent is motive. The most common motives are theft , revenge, and sex, but the range within those motives is vast.

    Conclusion


    Serial killing is surprisingly common, and unsurprisingly disturbing. Popular media has sensationalized and glorified the killers themselves, giving them yet another motive: fame . One of the reasons I didn't go into depth or detail about all of the various serial killers is for this reason - to keep your eyes on how horrible and tragic it is. We shouldn't romanticize serial killers, or their victims. It might be better if we forgot the name of Gilles de Rais or Adam Lanza. Thank you for your attention.

    as books the way we understand the word today. Centuries went before paper replaced parchment and papyri. In the 15 th century Johann Gutenberg invented a mechanical process of duplicating texts, which we today call book printing. The first book was printed between 1444 and 1446, so these years can be considered as the beginning years of book printing. His most important preserved printings are the 40 copies of the Bible. By the end of the 15 th century there were about 1000 print-shops in Europe already. The oldest Estonian book dates back to 1535. Libraries form a vital part of education. They make available-through books, films, recordings and other media- knowledge that has been accumulated through the ages. People in all walks of life use libraries to get information for their work. Libraries also play an important role in preserving people's cultural heritage.

    seems more determined than ever to mend their broken friendship. Charlie has decided to release Bella from her punishment under the condition that she not neglect her other friendships, particularly that of Jacob Black's. Bella agrees, grateful for the freedoms this will give her to both spend time with Edward, and attempt to visit Jacob. Her freedom doesn't include a visit to the nearby city of Seattle Washington, which is currently the setting for a rash of serial killings that are Edward claims are the work of a vampire. After Edward arrives for his typical evening visit the two spend time filling out college applications and revealing, much to Charlie's dismay, that both have been accepted to Alaska University. While pondering the wildlife populations of both Alaska and Antarctica, Bella gently broaches the subject of a visit to La Push. A visit which Edward adamantly opposes.

But, education ruined me. * If the left half of the brain controls the right hand, and the right half the left, then lefthanded people are the only ones in their right minds. * I'm going to live forever. Or die trying. * Kill one person you're a murderer, kill ten people your a serial killer, kill a million and you get invited to a peace conference. * Knowledge is knowing something. Wisdom is knowing what to do with that knowledge. * Love makes time pass. Time makes love pass. * Making the world smarter, one idiot at a time. * Mankind can not, and will not, destroy its self.

    If you have created something, then try to be open minded

    If you have created something, then try to be open minded Teacher: O'Mahony V.PG 11A 09.03.2009 This written essay here is talking about my thoughts and facts of life, what is around us. First I thought that why is always easier to create something but to destroy is much harder. Exactly there have been so many wars in history. Everybody wanted to own a lot of countries and others had to fight for their created country. Also they started to teach young people to kill and protect their country with killing enemies. Also government tried to keep a low profile, if there were some wars in state
