Are Serial Killers Born or Made? The term serial killer‚ as defined by Robert Ressler (1974)‚ refers to a person who commits a series of murders‚ often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic and predictable behaviour pattern.

The phrase‚ ’Man is born free‚ and everywhere he is in chains’ was written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau wrote the famed words in his most important published work‚ ’A Social Contract.’ This work is one of the most important in Western political philosophy. Jean-Jacques Rousseau‚ in his dramatic opening lines to his immensely powerful treatise "The Social Contract‚" wrote that man was naturally good but becomes corrupted by the pernicious influence of human society and institutions.

Monique Wittig’s works‚ The Lesbian Body (1975) and “One is Not Born a Woman” (1980)‚ might seem similar to Cixous’s‚ in that she engages in a political project designed to create a non-phallogocentric discourse‚ but she turns to “lesbianization” rather than bisexuality. She posits an opposing model to the heterosexual mode of language that transcends the categories of sex and gender‚ and she calls it the “lesbianization of language”.

"[I‚ being born a woman and distressed]" by Edna St. Vincent Millay Edna St. Vincent Millay’s sonnet‚ “I‚ Being Born a Woman and Distressed‚” serves as an excellent example of a multi-faceted piece.
