Acting hostile or harmful towards society is described as anti-social behavior. Causes for a person to act hostile or harmful lie solely in the character and behavior of the person. Because a person’s nature and behavior are shaped by the environment in which the person lives and previous experiences, it can be concluded that family is the main cause of a person’s behavior. Therefore, if a child commits a crime the

Unfortunately, society does not respect family values. It was not considered “cool” for Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, the two responsible for the Columbine High School killings in Colorado to brag about their “good upbringing.” These boys terrorized their classmates and teachers while pretending to play a video game. It has been suggested that since many of the games that they played involved realistic characters as well as realistic deaths that they were actually training to kill people by playing these games.

A lower class was needed to work the land; so, Africans were captured to come to America with the stipulation that they would work for the white man. Africans became slaves; thus began all the prejudices of the black man.
