How serial killers have changed society



How Serials killers Changed society 

JEAN BOYLAN 1996


Serial killer:
noun
someone who murders more than three victims one at a time in a relatively short interval

Psychopath:
noun
a mentally ill or unstable person; especially: a person affected with antisocial personality disorder

There have been thousands of people killed throughout the world by serial killers. Each one with a different motive or psychotic reason for killing and/or torturing their victims. Almost no two killers are the same whether they kill their victims for personal pleasure, for a higher reason, or because voices inside their heads tell them to. Whatever their reasons are, they still have made people around the world think twice about who and what they can trust.


One serial killer that really stands out for changing what people can trust is Ted Kaczynski more commonly known as the Unabomber. He created homemade bombs and sent them to government officials and other civilians.  This changed society so much for a few reason. One being a simple fact that it made people think twice about the safety of receiving packages through the mail or other sources. Before Kaczynski there was really no reason for people to question the security of there packages and mail because no one could've thought up what he did.  But secondly and more surprisingly, he went to Harvard. A Harvard grad was not the person people expected. When people think of Harvard they think of preppy boys with diplomas out the wazoo on their walls, not someone living alone in the woods sending bombs through the mail.

This one person has changed lives and people's views of society tremendously. This opened up a whole new unwanted reality into people's lives. They now have to think twice about who and what they can trust. Before Kaczynski Harvard was seemingly a place that released perfect citizens into the world, but now people aren't who we think they are or how they appear.
