Furthermore‚ it is the power of making free choices that are unconstrained by external circumstances

Intentionally Wicked: Thoughts on The Lord of the Rings and Our Motivation in Committing Evil Acts The Main Point: The following analysis deals with the nature and source of evil and whether‚ given our innate motives and moral obligation‚ we willingly choose to succumb to our desires or are slaves of our passion.

Labeling theory had its origins in Suicide‚ a book by French sociologist Émile Durkheim. He found that crime is not so much a violation of a penal code as it is an act that outrages society. He was the first to suggest that deviant labeling satisfies that function and satisfies society ’s need to control the behavior. As a contributor to American Pragmatism and later a member of the Chicago School‚ George Herbert Mead posited that the self is socially constructed and reconstructed through the interactions
