Sometimes there are people out there who have a hatred for others and they decide themselves without the influence of others to be a monster. They might just decide that because a stranger bumped into him on the train and made them drop something, they have the right to do something back which can be way worse. There are also people who are forced into doing it. Let's say there is a guy who owes the mob money, they will make him do their dirty work. They will make him a monster by making him kill someone or kidnap someone. You can become a monster from the two ways, it's best to just not get involved if something doesn't seem right.
I believe that people get influenced in becoming somebody who can be a monster. If a kid's parents were to be alcoholics and never be around to support them, then I think they would end up doing illegal actions. Another reason why people could be bad is to support their family if they are poor and are in need of money. No one is forced to become a monster but if they don't do what they were suppose to do they will most likely be killed.
I agree because if someone needs to help out a family member in the hospital but they do not have the money to get like a surgery or something for them so they go try to rob banks or something to get the money.
Well I believe it depends on what situation.For example if you are in debt to the mob and if you don't pay them back soon they will kill you than you might as well steal stuff and do as much as you can to get that money. So you might go rob a bank but he main reason your doing it is not to get rich its because if you don't get money the mob will kill you. But than again if you rob the bank because you wanna get rich than you are a monster.
In my opinion, it depends a lot on the situation. Sometimes a person have a mental disease, as uncontrollable jealousy or hate and they turn into monsters not by choice, but because they have a psychological problem. Also, kids who grew up in hostile environments, with alcoholic parents who fight a lot, in a dangerous neighbourhood, might be driven to this path, not by their choice either. But when a kid, who had everything in life, but want to gain attention of their parents, start hanging out with drug addicts who rob banks, they are a monster by choice.
I think monsters are people who have some type of mental disease or illness that pushes us towards the bad . Most times, alot of these so called monsters are raised to believe in one thing, or just think abnormally. For instance , if a young boy witnessed one of his close friends getting hurt or killed, they might think that they need to gain revenge so they become violent in seeking justice. There are many types of ways someone can be a monster, alot of times they dont have a conscience which can make them choose the wrong choices.
Good point. I agree with you. But that doesn't mean you can kill someone for revenge. The person should have told the police because he was an eyewitness and the "monster" would have been sent to jail.
I don’t think you are forced to become a monster, because you can make decisions for yourself. You can however, get influenced by the people around you to do stuff you’re not supposed to. It all depends on if you submit to peer pressure easily. In conclusion, no I don’t think a monster can be made. Everyone makes their own decisions.
Both. Monsters can choose to be monsters and they can be forced to be monster. The monster could have a mental illness which causes them to do things a monster would do. However the monster could be a rapist and is simply a rapist because he/she wants to rape, with no mental illness whatsoever. The monster could have a gun pointed to his/her head by someone forcing them to do things a monster would do. There are so many possibilities.
I absolutely agree, there are many ways that a person can become a monster. however, I agree and disagree with the point that you made that a normal person with no mental disabilities would become a monster by choice. To choose such a life, the person would have to have some form of a mental disorder. Because no fit human being like you and me who are satisfied with the conditions that they are living in, would choose such a life.
I believe that monsters are not created by choice, they either become monsters because of the situation they are in and not by choice. For example, if someone is in a situation where they are not satisfied with the conditions they are living in or they have issues in life that they makes feel that the only way to get over their problems is to steal money from banks, stores or even civilians. Also I believe that a monster can be created because of their families. For example, a person can have an abusive family in which is involved with drugs and crime. They can have family members who are are in prison or have a family that makes them feel that they are unconnected from their society or the issue makes them feel like they are different from everyone else and there is nobody in the world that loves them. If you top all of that of with a neighbourhood that is a place that there are a lot of gangs, drugs/drug dealing and frequent violent crimes are common, then you have created yourself a monster... However, I like to believe that all monsters are not really monsters. There are just people who grow up in terrible situations. tough, I believe that everyone deserves a second chance.
I do believe monster are not created by choice. If a child grows in a dysfunctional and distraught household, and the child is being abused, having the wrong influence, and are being inflicted, they will be forced to change to fit in or survive living in these conditions, like joining gangs, or robbing to get more money, are all decisions that wouldn't of been decided if they didn't live in a bad lifestyle. Monsters aren't born, they are created. But if these people are shown a better path, are shown the better side of life, they have a chance of changing. To change because they never got to see life at its best and its fullest and brightest.
I believe that it's by choice. If a person grows up in a bad neighborhood, chances are that that person might not be so nice. Someone becomes a monster by being influenced by their city that they're in or the people that they live with or grow up with. In most cases, them becoming a monster is because of their past, it's hardly ever by choice. Because you don't wake up in the morning and think "I'm going to be a horrible person, because I really want to". I believe that it's not by choice or force, it's by being influenced.
I believe that it's by choice because people choose to become a monster, if they weren't a monster they wouldn't choose the wrong decision or do the wrong thing. So I think that people choose because your in control of what you do and what you choose to do. However it can also be influenced by people like if you were in a gang. So I believe that it's can be both situation,but if you in a gang you chose to in the gang. And you could have been influenced to be in the gang or forced. So it can be both.
But what if where you live is a rough part and you need to be in a gang so you don't just get jumped or killed. You have some people to protect you. You will feel safe that way because you have more power with more people. Just like at school if your with your friends you feel safer because you know there are less possibilities for something to go wrong and if something happens you are with people that can help you.
I think that a person could become a monster in both ways either by choice or by being force. The reason I believe that it could be by choice is that if you hang around people who do bad things it could influence you to do the same things and its pretty much your choice for hanging around with them. It could also be by being forced because there can be people who could force you do to bad things like pure pressure and then they make you do it again and again.
I think that someone can become a monster by choice and they can also become a monster by force. I think they can become a monster both ways because your friends can force you to be a monster by peer pressure. I also think that your friends can influence you to do bad things which lead up to you becoming a monster.I also believe that you can choose to become a monster because you choose how you want to live your life.
I think it can go both ways. In most cases people who become monsters, usually were raised in abusive homes and environments.The only thing that they were taught and shown was abuse and neglect, there mental instability causes then to do monstrous things and criminal acts. In rare cases there are people who were raised in a stable homes and still become monsters, the only explanation I have to that is maybe they do not feel empathy towards others, and there for are monsters.
John Ye Added: According to the book , a people that break the law is called a monster. At the book, steve is called monster because he was considerd that invloved a case of murder. In my opinion, monster is something that bloodcurdling and scard people. Maybe the reason of why the lawyer called steve monster have a bit of racial discrimination
I think that people being a monster can go both ways. I think you have the choice to be a monster because you don’t have to be mean to someone or do bad things, it’s your choice to do them or not. I also think that you can be forced to be a monster by peer pressure. It can also be a mental problem that you might have been born with or maybe it’s because you are abused at home.
i think a monster can be both because if you grow up in a bad neighborhood a it can make you change the way you act or do things. i think that people cant really be forced because they are old enough to chose there own chooses. sometimes they chose to live like this because they think there cool and the bad boys. #choices
I think that it can be both, by choice and forced because it depends on the surroundings that you grow up in. If you grow up somewhere that every body thinks that your scary and where you don't fit in then it will feel that you are being forced into being a monster. But if its by choice then it is usually when you have issues at home or you struggle because then you can be scary to the people around you on purpose to feel better about yourself.
I think it can be both choice and force bc it could be because of who you are surrounded by. Sometimes it can even run in the family like let say your family has a criminal history you will probably have one too, or if you live in a dangerous neighborhood with a of criminal stuff then you will probably be influenced by those people.
I think people can become monsters by choice or lifestyle. Some people become monsters because they are influenced by games (GTA), other people (Ex cons.) or social media (Pictures of people with firearms and money). Some people turn into monsters because their past. They might have had a rough childhood (Bullies) abusive families (Beat them up or worse) or they might have lived in the “bad” parts of town (ghettos). I think those are the main ways someone can become a monster. I hope nobody turns into a monster for fun. People should learn to deal with their life differently. Nobody should have to go through that in their life but the sad part is that we don’t live in an ideal world. Luckily the crime rates have dropped a lot and there are less violent crimes going on nowadays.
People become a monster by choice, never because they are forced to. You always have a choice, even if you apparently think you don't have one. For example: When your parents are addicts or criminals and you grew up in ghettos around this kind of people, you tend to become a monster but you can always go to other parts of the town, meet other kind of people, study and be a better person then your parents or family were. It's a harder choice, but you have the choice. Only when you have a mental disease, or something like that, become a monster is not a choice because you don't really know the things that you are doing and what is right and what is wrong.
I don't think you can call them a monster the are simply doing what they might think is best, they might have had a harder lifestyle that influenced them to become the person they are, can you blame them no of course not, it is our fault as a society that we are not working together to help these people in need but there might be the flip side where someone coming from a family of wealth and commits a horrendous crime then again maybe it had something to do with growing up and although things were easy he might have had some problems. to summarize it i think it depends what a monster is because everyone has a story.
and also the problem with the society is that we are given labels, if you come from a bad neighborhood you are thought to be not such an educated person and are always pointed at first if something bad happens but if you come from a good neighborhood it is quite the opposite and you are suspected less. I know this is off topic but a year ago a white male 17 i think was driving drunk with a couple of buddies after a party and goes and kills 6 people the charges he got was 6 months in jail and put on probation for a 2 years that was it and his excuse was that he was spoiled as a child meanwhile in this story a black male kills 1 person and hes expecting lifetime. maybe its just me or its the system that needs work.
I think monster can be created by hard pressure and people surround them .The environment they in can slowly changed the personality of them. If them were in a environment which is full of kind people ,they would be kind people too. However, if they were in a environment which is full of gangster and robber ,they would be gangsters or robber. But sometimes we find that there is a monster in a kind people, that is their choice. But it is just few time.
Sometimes there are people out there who have a hatred for others and they decide themselves without the influence of others to be a monster. They might just decide that because a stranger bumped into him on the train and made them drop something, they have the right to do something back which can be way worse.

ReplyDeleteThat is true, like if someone was really poor and they needed food or money to survive or even feed their families, it can turn into kill or be killed
DeleteYou have a point. Children learn from influence and how they are raised and treated, and they get bad intentions on how the world is and works.
