Former UCLA History Professor and author, Roger D. McGrath, in his article, “The Myth of Violence in the Old West,” (Gunfighters, Highwaymen, and Vigilantes: Violence on the Frontier, 1984) asserts there is no connection between the violence of the Old West and violence today. Firstly, McGrath begins his article by introducing the main claim. Then introduces Bodie an infamous town known for its crime, located on the trans-Sierra frontier. He then discusses the low rate of larcenous crime found through the FBI index; which the information shows that individuals weren’t the targets and crime was thwarted by citizens. The explanation of the law larceny rate could be due to the fact more citizens were armed, therefore criminals were threatened
and God talked about on several occasions. He was not just a crazy killer it was always meaning to the madness. Nat goal was to get to Jerusalem and take over the arsenals there being only two or three miles away, but that plan did not happen. As one of Nat’s battle warrior I would have been a little skeptical and timid about doing this. They were putting themselves and families life in jeopardy if they were caught.

In his essay “Hate Violence? Turn It Off,” Tim Goodman argues that if parents or other adults object to a television program, they should change the channel or just simply turn off the TV. I disagree with Goodman’s argument. Violence is not uncommon activity happening in our modern society, it is portray in the media, entertainment, and also human interaction with each other. Turning off the TV or changing the channel could not prevent violent influences.
In John Gardner's novel Grendel he has many examples of how violence is in our society everywhere. “The state is an organization of violence, a monopoly in what it is pleased to call legitimate violence” - Gardner. In Grendel he gives many examples of how Hrothgar abuses his power and uses violence to control his people. America, in many ways, is like Hrothgar’s kingdom.
In 2003, the motion picture, Kill Bill Volume 1, debuted in theaters. Set to a backdrop of bloodshed and violence, the film offers 112 minutes of savagery, as the main character attempts to get back at every person who has wronged her in the past four years. Kill Bill is only one of the many films in which violence is the number one attraction. “Kill or be killed,” seems to be the overarching motto, as millions of moviegoers flock into theaters each weekend to watch as characters fight to the death. In contrast, violence portrayed on the silver screen is no longer acceptable outside of the theater.
“RAHAB THE CANAANITE” AN ANCESTRESS OF JESUS CHRIST When the children of Israel were about to invade the land of Canaan, Joshua sent two men secretly to spy or view the land of Jericho. When they got to the city, they lodged in the house of a Canaanite woman whose name was Rahab (Joshua 2:1).

Rahab acted in faith instead of fear and hid the two Hebrew spies under the bundles of flax plants on the roof of her house, as well concealed the reason while the men came to Jericho.
“For it was the Lord’s doing to harden their hearts so that they would come against Israel in battle, in order that they might be utterly destroyed, and might receive no mercy, but be exterminated, just as the Lord had commanded Moses” (NRSV, Josh. 11.20). Upon receiving the Lord’s fulfilment of His covenant with them, the Israelites utterly destroyed the Canaanite forces and acquired the Promised Land. This Old Testament account initially appears to be incongruent with the central aspect of the character of God: His enduring, boundless, and inexplicable love. Typically, people challenge this concept with the following query: “How can a perfectly loving God command his followers to commit atrocities of genocide and military violence?” This

I think that symbolic interactionism could be a potential reason on behind Kelly's actions when the assault occurred. As I found out by researching Kelly I found out she kept violent images in her locker at school which I believe may have acted as a source of desensitisation to her and create her to become familiar with violence and death. However, I am curious to what negative events occurred that created her to have bad relationships with her parents besides their divorce, their teachers and her peers? With a negative relationship with her main sources of social interaction I do it would account for her various occasions of rebellious behaviour. However, I disagree with your idea proposal that she followed her friends' actions and took it
