You so-called Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans has allowed an enemy to control your mind. You have allowed a devil to control your mind.

The so-called white man decides what is taught to you in school and these so-called institutions of higher learning

You Blacks and Hispanics are killing each other in the ghettos now because this white devil has you one against the other and his ways have become your way.

Many commentators have viewed the monster as Dr. Frankenstein's double, an example of the doppelgänger archetype. In a similar vein, critics have discussed Dr. Frankenstein and the monster as embodying Sigmund Freud's theory of id and ego.

These relationships are absolutely necessary for any of us to survive, learn, work, love, and procreate.

Some people seem "naturally" capable of loving. They form numerous intimate and caring relationships and, in doing so, get pleasure. Others are not so lucky. They feel no "pull" to form intimate relationships, find little pleasure in being with or close to others. They have few, if any, friends, and more distant, less emotional glue with family. In extreme cases an individual may have no intact emotional bond to any other person. They are self-absorbed, aloof, or may even present with classic neuropsychiatric signs of being schizoid or autistic.

But a study ordered in 2005 by Judge Nancy Gertner (D. Mass.) found that wealthier towns with few minority residents did a better job of keeping accurate residency lists than more diverse communities. The result: a higher percentage of jury summonses sent to minorities came back as undeliverable or went unanswered.

“The perception of fairness counts. A white jury may be fair, but a non-white defendant likely will think ‘the jurors can’t be fair because they don’t understand me.’”

Washington had a controversial approach to education, but one that enabled him to raise funds and support from whites. Because education for African Americans was illegal during the years of slavery, many whites in the south were still opposed to the idea of education for all, and often institutions of education for African Americans were the target of hate crimes and vandalism.

Washington provided an industrial and agricultural education for his students, much like the education he received at the Hampton Institute, as a way of limiting the backlash against his school from whites.

He claimed that African Americans could advance their social status through hard work, without ending segregation.

With the mass production of low wage jobs, businesses have the ability hire their lackeys by the dozen.  Corporations thrive on the cheap availability of their employees and never feel compelled to increase pay allotments, simply because they know new, more desperate applicants will be coming through their doors to replace the previous groups.  For employers, low wage jobs are perfect; employment is high, and paychecks are low—great for overall profit of business. 

Victor and the creature are “doubles” (or mirrors) of each other because they are both struck with the inability to successfully communicate with society. This theme demonstrates the balance of the conscious and unconscious aspects of human behavior.

In some cases, the abuse of children by their parents is barbaric, and it seems little wonder that anything but a fledgling serial killer would come from such horrible squalor.

Childhood abuse may not be the sole excuse for serial killers, but it is an undeniable factor in many of their backgrounds.

In looking to the parents for explanations, we see both horrifying mothers and fathers. The blame usually falls on the mother, who has been described as too domineering or too distant, too sexually active or too repressed. Perhaps the mother is blamed more because the father has often disappeared, therefore "unaccountable." When the father is implicated, it is usually for sadistic disciplinarian tactics, alcoholic rants, and overt anger toward women.

Difficulties during adolescence. Studies have found abused and neglected children to be at least 25 percent more likely to experience problems such as delinquency, teen pregnancy, low academic achievement, drug use, and mental health problems (Kelley, Thornberry, & Smith, 1997). Other studies suggest that abused or neglected children are more likely to engage in sexual risk-taking as they reach adolescence, thereby increasing their chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (Johnson, Rew, & Sternglanz, 2006). Juvenile delinquency and adult criminality. According to a National Institute of Justice study, abused and neglected children were 11 times more likely to be arrested for criminal behavior as a juvenile, 2.7 times more likely to be arrested for violent and criminal behavior as an adult, and 3.1 times more likely to be arrested for one of many forms of violent crime (juvenile or adult) (English, Widom, & Brandford, 2004). Alcohol and other drug abuse. Research consistently reflects an increased likelihood that abused and neglected children will smoke cigarettes, abuse alcohol, or take illicit drugs during their lifetime (Dube et al., 2001). According to a report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, as many as two-thirds of people in drug treatment programs reported being abused as children (Swan, 1998). Abusive behavior. Abusive parents often have experienced abuse during their own childhoods. It is estimated approximately one-third of abused and neglected children will eventually victimize their own children (Prevent Child Abuse New York, 2003).

These include costs associated with juvenile and adult criminal activity, mental illness, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

g Smith and Hickock: namely, a complete disregard for human life. Each man knows that society says it is wrong to kill another person, but they simply do not care. Capote insinuates that this lack of compassion for others is itself a type of insanity.

These imposed ideas prevent him from discovering who he is, and allow others to see him as they want to see him.

Without his realizing it, he comes to live within the limitations set by others, forged out of prejudice. After his time living underground, he comes to understand that he will be proud of his racial heritage and make important contributions to society, which will force others to acknowledge him for the man he truly is.

What are the long-term effects on the environment when transgenics are released in the field?

What ethical, social, and legal controls or reviews should be placed on such research?

Will transgenic interventions in humans create physical or behavioral traits that may or may not be readily distinguished from what is usually perceived to be “human”?

every character is essentially isolated from the others. Moreover, the characters in the novel do not communicate effectively with one another.

The absence of his mother’s love leads Darl to isolation not only from others but also from himself.

He witnesses the greed and corruption in the industry and the deterioration of the lives of many workers. He is also shocked by the unhealthy handling of the meat. The novel presents graphic descriptions of diseased animals and rotting meat being sold to the American public.

It's also a clear call to action for labor rights, unions, and other causes that still affect people today.

You can compare the migration from Oklahoma to today's immigration. Much like in Steinbeck's novel, today some Americans hold contempt for immigrants coming to California and other agricultural areas to labor as migrant workers. However, the food industry depends on this cheap labor, and goes through great pains to make sure that it remains cheap. Today, half of all migrant farm workers make less than $20 per day.

Upon reaching adulthood, she would never live without some form of domestic "help", and battling the "timid spiteful servant mind" throughout her life both enraged her and sustained her. It was easier for her to regard her servants as not quite real than to accept the fact of her dependence on others.

It's a compelling portrait of how rich and poor women of this time were locked into a strange and pernicious symbiosis, and a vital warning against social inequality.
