Monsters in Society
What makes one monster more heinous
           than another?
Ed Gein
Ed was born in 1906. He was
known for robbing middle-aged
women’s graves, taking their
body parts, then creating
house hold objects out of the
body parts. He made a
drawstring for windows out of
a pair of lips, a lampshade
from skin of a human face, a
belt out of nipples, bowls
made of human skulls, human
skin covering several seat
covers, & nine human face
Vlad the
    Impaler
Vlad Dracula lived during the
middle of the fifteenth century.
As the leader of Wallachia, he
used methods of torture (mostly
impaling) to scare his enemies.
German accounts include Vlad
the Impaler razing villages and
estimating a total of nearly
100,000 victims from his
numerous ways of killing. His
reign now serves as the
Westboro Baptist
       Church
Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is
an independent Baptist church
known for its radical and extreme
views. They have taken a strong
stance against homosexuality—
saying God is killing our troops
today to show His disapproval for
acceptance of homosexuality. This
group has been known to not only
show up at but also to walk into
private funerals. They hold up signs
of hatred, drag the American flag on
the ground, and try to interrupt
peaceful way of life. They are bullies
John Wayne
      Gacy
Also known as “Pogo the Clown,”
Gacy confessed to luring 33 boys
and young men into his house in
1978. After torture, sexual assault,
and strangling them with a rope, he
disposed the dead bodies in a tiny
crawl space. He claimed he had
multiple personalities, such as “Pogo
the Clown” and Jack Hanson.
Doctors, however, say he did not
have multiple personality disorder.
John Wayne Gacy was named the
worst serial killer in U.S history. In
Money
Many would say that money is the center
of prosperity, but others say this the true
center of greed.
Before money was used, it was common
for people to trade for items they need.
   Later people found it difficult to find
items to agree on trading, thus money
was born.
  Soon people began to gather as much
money as possible, by any means.
   In our society, having money equals
having power. Money can turn friends and
even family against each other. People
are robbed, and even killed for these little
pieces of paper.
 People scam and mislead others for their
own personal gain.
Joseph Kony
   Joseph Kony was born in Uganda in 1964.
Joseph considered himself a Christian, and wanted
to make his country a Christian nation as well. In
order to do this, Kony created the LRA, or Lord’s
Resistance Army, which has been fighting the
Ugandan government for quite some time.
     In order to establish his nation, Kony has
abducted an estimated 20,000 children to use as
sex slaves or fighters. As part of the children’s
initiation process, the children had to kill their
parents, so they would have no home to return to.
Once apart of the LRA, the children are used as
pack mules, carrying supplies until they are too
weak or killed.
    Boys that are kidnapped are sent to the front
lines—unarmed—and kidnapped girls that are
found attractive by commanding officers become
their wives. Even worse, he took disabled children,
The Media
 The media today is swaying the
opinions and judgment of children,
teens, and adults in society.
Although it may give entertainment
and joy to most viewers, it also
gives false idols and unreachable
expectations to others. The
media’s morals are persuading
persons to “be different,” even if
“different” is showing half your
chest and your upper thighs. Even
in the men, they have been taught
that respect for women isn’t a
priority. Internet sites cause
useless drama, bullying, and
reckless behavior. The media is
Osama bin Laden

Terrorist
Founder of al Qaeda
Responsible for 3,500 deaths
on 9/11
920,000 US military members
were killed trying to bring down
bin Laden
Believes killing innocent
civilians is ok if they are near
the enemy
Believes that if you are not
Muslim, then you should die
Susan Smith
On October 25, 1994, Smith falsely
told police that an African-American
man carjacked her vehicle which
held her two children inside. For
nine days, she adamantly
perpetuated this lie. However, she
finally cracked and revealed to
police that she let her 1990 Mazda
roll into a lake, trapping her kids
inside. The three-year-old and
fourteen-month old undoubtedly
died horrific deaths due to
drowning. Smith confessed to
wanting to discard her kids so she
could engage in an affair with a
wealthy man who had no interest in
children.
U.S. Government
Over the course of history, our government has
committed some heinous acts. The list in not
limited to the following:
*The false imprisonment of hundreds of
thousands of Japanese in internment camps.
*Torture techniques at Abu Gharib and
Guantanamo. The government has used water
boarding, electrocution, and other forms of

have not seen a trial.
*Paying hunters $2 tor each Native American
scalp they could get.
*Condoning slavery. Enough said.
*Dropping Agent Orange in Vietnam (maiming
thousands of innocent civilians and our own
Josef Mengele

being wounded and declared unfit for
combat, he returned to Germany. He
began work at Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute for Anthropology, Human
Genetics, and Eugenics. He began
his career as a doctor at Auschwitz.
