The Heinous Crimes Of Andre Thomas

In this paper I will present my definition of violence. Everyone has their own ideas of what violences includes. Some think it is more specific and direct, and others think it can be very broad and wide ranging. Most people will define it as a person’s physical act, yet others think the weather can be violent. I will also talk about the heinous crimes of Andre Thomas. He is a man who is currently on death row for his actions that he committed many years ago. I will examine and attempt to explain why he may have committed his crime through the lens of the four roots of evil.
Violence is the act of being excessively aggressive or harming someone intentionally whether physically or mentally. Harm doesn’t need to occur for something to be considered

They utilize it to come out on top or to persuade someone to quit doing something they find objectionable (Miller et al., 2016). Perhaps Thomas thought that the crime he committed was necessary for him to avoid being punished by God. He wasn’t thinking about the actions he had to commit, he just wanted God to be pleased and satisfied with him to achieve the end of his means Criminals are frequently preoccupied with the present, and they may believe that using violence is the most effective approach to acquire what they want as soon as possible (Miller et al.,

Individuals who are driven by lofty aspirations may end up doing wrong by doing right (Miller et al., 2016). They see using violence as a necessary—and frequently disgusting and regrettable—means of achieving good and constructive results (Miller et al., 2016). This is exactly what Thomas was doing. He was following what he thought were the orders of the bible and murdered his family. Thomas likely thought that committing those violent deeds was his moral obligation (Miller et al., 2016). His idealism contributed to aggression. Despite the fact that idealism is frequently a good force, its positivism gives it the ability to excuse and legitimize a broad range of behaviors (Baumeister & Butz, 2005). This is exactly what I believe happened in Thomas’ scenario.
It would be hard to identify Thomas’s actions through a threatened egotism or that he was sadistic in nature and enjoyed it. Especially since afterwards he had called his in-laws telling them how he was “in hell.” It could be possible that he was affected by a threatened egotism since individuals attack others when they feel their pride or dignity has been violated (Miller et al., 2016).. He may have felt “threatened” due to his wife leaving him and taking the kids. Although I find this to be the more unlikely root based off of the information we have on this
