As I read chapter seven ,a very interesting topic on crime
and criminal activities ,one thing that caught my eyes was the story of willie.
He was a homeless man who lived In corner and made his money from finding old
news paper that people throw in trash and selling them. The interesting part of
the story was when willie was jailed because criminal story. What happen to
willie is he started hanging in street corners with people who was criminals
and eventually adopted their ways. I agree with this for many reasons because
when someone is without any money and has nothing to loss, will do whatever to
get something to eat or little money. When willie was released from jail he
again returned to the street when a few years later he was once again imprisoned.

Chapter 6
While listening to the tape and watching the video it was very interesting who easily people are controlled by whom the believe are superior to them. In the milgram experiment its a good example of how people listen to someone that are in the power sit. this is a perfect explanation to the German soldiers who took part of the mass killing of Jews gays,disable and ext. The people looked up to powerful and strong leaders ,i see it as a brain wash. This is an interesting topic because it explains how people to this day risk their life and do dangerous thing like terrorist act.
