We Still Kill >->->->->->------------>


Now that we have iPods, Mobiles, WiFi, Drones, tablets, antibiotics, Lasers, computers and Internet, Jet Planes, International Space Stations, Stem Cell treatment, Super-fast Trains, Twitters, Face-Books, Emails, Nuclear, et al, we consider ourselves progressive, forward thinking, cultured mortals. Conceivably each generation likewise used to think the same as we do today. 


What breaks the myth is the world of cinema where each era is captured visually and contextually. The iconic Fritz Lang’s movie ’Fury’ (1936) and ‘M’ (1931) show the prevalence of mob mentality over civilization and law. The same mob mentality prevails today. (Is it necessary to dole out examples?)

Not much has changed. 

One thing remains constant – We still kill each other!
We are still the conscientious morally self-righteous killers.

The Herd Mentality.
