The death penalty with which he is threatened is meaningless because societal neglect and brutality had killed him years earlier -- indeed, well before he had ever known a real life (Bernstein, 1992, p. 174).
Charlie has never known a real life, and his lack of social understanding, and of society understanding his needs, has led to his life of crime and imprisonment.

Another theory of criminology includes the theory that poverty is also a cause of criminology in many people. Charlie's early life was certainly spent in economic and emotional crisis. His mother, when she did keep him, was a heavy drinker who made money from robberies and theft. When she abandoned him, as she often did, he had no way to take care of himself, and so he turned to crime for the money he needed. When he lived with relatives, he continued this early pattern. He was first…...

Manson Family
as the Manson family a religious cult? In this essay, the author will prove this by examining the Manson Family as a political cult and the leaders use of mind control love bombing, the role of Manson as a group leader and his role within the group, and teachings and/or beliefs of the group. hile the group did not in the opinion of this author exhibit all of the aspects of religious cultism, it is certainly very much in the genre.

Its ties to and emergence from the sixties counterculture blurs this a bit, it is a cult nonetheless. As we will see in the body of this essay, a number of salient facts stand out that define a cult. One is a dominating personality. Secondly, secret and esoteric beliefs and liturgies, usually at the extreme edge of human behaviors. Finally, mind control use and tactics are endemic.

Helter Skelter
The strengths and deficiencies of Helter Skelter, Vincent Bugliosi's account of Charles Manson, his followers, and his trial and subsequent conviction both stem from one single fact about the author. Vincent Bugliosi was the Prosecutor who tried the state's case against Manson, a trial which he ultimately won. Yet we must recollect that Manson -- recently making his obligatory appearance in the tabloid press after announcing his engagement to a much younger woman, an engagment later called off -- remains in prison in California for a number of murders that he himself did not actually commit. Bugliosi in the courtroom was required to paint the picture so that Manson could be tried for conspiracy, and succeeded. He intends to do the same thing in Helter Skelter. I hope to examine Bugliosi's book as a way of considering Manson as a historical figure.

John Waters' view that infamous Manson family member, Leslie Van Houten, must be released on parole.
LESLIE

easons for Parole

Waters cites in his work that, several decades after the murder in which Leslie Van Houten was involved, a parole official, following an analysis of no less than eleven separate psychiatric statements (all of which concluded that Van Houten could be paroled and is not a threat to society any longer), listened to Van Houten miserably attempting to explain that her thought process was addled that time and that she is ashamed of who she was at age 19. She claimed that the best means to prove her remorse was by being the best possible individual, today. The parole official remarked unforgivingly, yet kindly (Waters, 2011), that she had has committed an unpardonable act, so escaping punishment was very difficult, near to impossible -- an assertion none can deny. Waters asserts, in…...

25. How does New Age spirituality differ from that of Eastern mysticism?

Although the New Age readily embraces Eastern mysticism, it diverges from the old Eastern traditions because the New Age is more of a "hybrid spirituality," (131). The New Age combines Eastern and estern mystical beliefs. Eastern religions are not tailored for the modern world so the New Age mutates Eastern traditions to best suit the needs of the modern lifestyle.

26. How is paganism related to the New Age movement?

Paganism is integrally related to the New Age movement. Evidence of this can be found on any New Age bookstore shelf. The New Age movement is not necessarily demonic, as many modern witches do not believe in Satan, but neo-pagans assert a belief in a Goddess. Many New Agers support pre-Christian pagan beliefs and shamanism as well.

There is only one way to fight evil, and that is to confront it with its polar opposite, goodness. This does not mean that we should confront it with harsh language, but that we should attempt to at worst eradicate it, and at best to isolate it, as is the case of Charles Manson. Like the film's evil perpetrator, John Doe (Kevin Spacey), Manson manifested signs of a highly intelligent person, but that intelligence, when lacking moral perspective, or, in the case of John Doe, when the moral perspective gives way to psychosis, does not prevent the individual from becoming profoundly evil, and capable of extreme acts of torture and violence against others.

At the end of the film Somerset quotes Ernest Hemingway, "The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for," he is saying that good people are the majority, and evil people are the minority, therefore the world…...

Their inability to come to terms with the facts of their success and the actions they were required to take to achieve it becomes, in many ways, the focus of the film, and becomes the true heart of the story Polanski is trying to tell in this film.
Character Changes

The violence and psychological crumbling it causes is not only accentuated in Polanski's Macbeth by these added scenes, but also in how Polanski presents certain other scenes from the play, as well. These changes have direct implications for the interpretation of the two primary characters in the play, as well as for several of the secondary characters and the overall thrust of the film's story. Perhaps the most significant interpretive choices that Polanski makes in regards to the direct characterizations of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth occur in the staging -- or the filming, rather -- of their soliloquies. Through Polanski's interpretation,…...

rown, in her biographic article for World of Forensic Science, states,
She views investigative criminal profiling as a dynamic process that does not conclude until a suspect is arrested and convicted. She deems it a support process for the criminal investigative team, made up of a combination of four skills: investigation, forensic analysis, psychological assessment, and the application of cultural anthropology. rown considers this type of profiling to be a real-time, speculative process requiring ongoing checking to avoid missing any significant data, and should never be done in isolation, but rather as one piece of the entire criminal investigative process (rown, ¶4).

Just as clearly no individual who is logical would consider Charles Manson or Theodore undy as eligible profiles for the restorative justice program or even for rehabilitation program or indeed of any other than imprisonment or death by execution There are however, very potentially productive, useful, and worthy individuals who are shuffled into the correction system due to their inability to hire a lawyer or lack of knowledge concerning their rights to having representation appointed to them that with education and knowledge or skills acquisition can be successfully rehabilitation or restored to society and within the community. Recently there has been documented an additional strategy in criminal justice corrections which is described as a 'transformational' process and is a cognitive-behavioral approach in treatment.

Death Penalty
Having a death penalty in the United States doesn't make sense. We are the only ivilized Western nation that still has it (Clark et al., 2004). Other nations onsider the death penalty immoral and opposed to demorati priniples beause it allows the government to kill itizens, whih violates fundamental human rights and inreases the likelihood of tyranny. As a punishment for rime, the death penalty annot be administered fairly or impartially in our riminal justie system ("Innoene and the Death Penalty," 2005). Some of the people who get exeuted are innoent (Hall, 2003). From a pratial standpoint, the death penalty is an expensive and ineffetive way to ontrol rime (Sherrill, 2001). The death penalty should be abolished in the United States.

Leadership
Comparing Characteristics of Leaders and Managers

The term leader and manager is often used in an interchangeable manner and it is likely that at some point most leaders have undertaken a management role. However, when looking at leaders and managers there are some distinct differences. These can be considered in terms of their characteristics and the way these characteristics manifest. A common theme in much literature is the way in which leaders may be identified as they have followers and inspire others

This refers to the concept of leaders having charisma. In this context there are many examples of leaders both good and bad. Leaders which fit in with this context include, John F. Kennedy former U.S. President, Nelson Mandela the South African leader, Richard Branson founder of the Virgin empire and Howard Schultz the CEO and inspiration behind Starbucks. These are all examples of charismatic leaders

Elaine Brown, a Taste of Power
Elaine Brown's autobiography A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's Story provides a snapshot of life in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Brown briefly rose to the leadership of the Black Panther Party. In North Philadelphia born and raised, Brown dropped out of Temple University and traveled west seeking a musical career in Hollywood, much like another noteworthy figure from this period obsessed with the mass insurrection of America's black population, Charles Manson. Brown, however, ended up not at the Spahn Ranch but at the Pink Pussycat, working as a cocktail waitress in "the hottest spot in West Hollywood" (74). She soon acquired a white lover, who talks of Stokely Carmichael over a meal of "Piper Heidieck champagne, bottled in 1952…beluga caviar…cracked crab with a mustard sauce. Our dinner was lamb, served on skewers, with wild rice" (80). After this a "radicalization" rapidly…...

Tanner Dowler was born to John Dowler, age 39, and his wife Audra, age 19. Nine weeks later, on October 12, his grandparents reluctantly agreed with doctors that life support should be stopped because Tanner had no chance of surviving the beating his father had given him on October 3. Now the state of Colorado has charged John Dowler with first-degree murder, and must decide whether they should seek the death penalty. This paper argues that because of the severity of the crime, John Dowler should face the death penalty if convicted.
It seems unlikely that anyone likes the fact that many states have the death penalty as an option for convicted murderers. Everyone would prefer that people not go to the extreme of taking another person's life. However, some argue that some crimes are so heinous that justice demands that the perpetrator die.

Our country's criminal history is filled with…...

death penalty in the United States today?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reporting for the U.S. Department of Justice that in 2013 "the estimated number of murders in the nation was 14,196"(www.fbi.gov). ccording to The Death Penalty Information Center, between 1976 and February 2015, the number of cumulative executions per capita was the highest in the State of Texas, with 521. The state with the highest number in population California, reported 13 such executions for the stated period. Considering the number of under 1500 of the total of cumulative executions in the U.S. between 1976 and February 2015 on one side, and the estimated number of murders in only one year in the U.S., I am safe to conclude that a very small number of murders are effectively punished with the death penalty in the U.S. This is vital information concerning the death penalty and its use in the…...

Charles Manson had a significant influence on his followers' gruesome crimes through manipulation, brainwashing, and his charismatic personality. Manson was able to manipulate his followers, known as the Manson Family, by creating a cult-like environment where he was seen as a messianic figure. He used tactics such as isolation, psychological manipulation, and drug use to control his followers and convince them to commit violent acts.

Manson's apocalyptic beliefs and vision of a race war, which he called "Helter Skelter," motivated his followers to commit the brutal murders that he believed would ultimately bring about a revolution. Manson's ability to manipulate his....
