The first thing that pops into mind is the idea that modern American society has problems with self-control. There is a surplus of resources. To me, the principles of his killing addiction are similar (although, obviously, the situation is far more serious) to overeating.

Two other examples? Hmm. That could be difficult. I'll try...

I guess you could talk about how, in lots of cases, people have certain psychiatric disorders that go undiagnosed because they don't visit a professional.

I think another good point would be to mention how shocked Suzy (spelling? I read it awhile ago, sorry...) is at his lack of empathy. Humans naturally care a lot about each other, and it can be startling when that doesn't happen. That really doesn't tie well into contemporary society, but I guess you could tie it in to pyschiatric disorders.

I would say the concept that animal lives are "lesser" is a very Western concept, as there are religions that believe in reincarnation or that all living things are equal, etc.

Hope that helped a little. I really liked that book, by the way.

As for attractiveness, at one end of the curve we've the least ideal and on the different end the main. a similar could be authentic for earnings ... poorest on one area and richest on the different. interior the direction of the bell we've each and all of the traditional human beings. i think of what you're asserting is authentic, yet basically basically a actuality of existence. we've the completed spectrum for the two genders. As for why adult men do not protest ... i assume they comprehend that it somewhat is basically the way issues are and protests are actually not likely to alter something. desire this permits!
