This week, the focus is on cannibalistic serial killers. Watch the video at the link below, reflect on it, and contemplate your readings. What do you make of the connection between "monster" mythology and modern serial killers? I like the way the video ties in social structure shifts to serial killing, specifically referencing urbanization in the early 1900s and the Albert Fish case. What was the video trying imply with this line of thinking? Do you believe anything similar characterizing social structure shifts in the 1980s to 1990s relates to the Jeffrey Dahmer case? On that note, what are the similarities between Fish and Dahmer? What about differences? The video is America's Serial Killers Portraits In Evil
