is often impossible to suggest that social factors
alone were behind forming their anti-social
attitudes. With a case of Ted Bundy, we can say

conceived as the result of incest between his
mother and his grandfather Samuel Cowell. It is
well known fact that that reason why traditional
societies do not tolerate incest is ...

which had no other purpose but the entertainment
of nobility. The masques became especially popular
in post-Elizabethan England, because of relative
geopolitical security, achieved during her reign.

socio-political ideas. In order for u...
