Movie relating to Sociology

The other day I watched a movie that related to sociology a lot. It was a documentary about a serial killer who murdered hundreds of kids in the early 1900s. What relation could this possibly have to sociology? I remember in a lesson Mr. Salituro was telling us how different events impact how someone becomes who they are. So it is not as simple as blaming someone for becoming deranged or psychotic, because what happens to them early in life influences them in good or bad ways. In this case it was a bad way, because the serial killer was witness to many horrible things when he was an orphan growing up. This had to have some effect on what he became later on in his life. He was still without a doubt a terrible person for committing the crimes that he did, but with the knowledge I gained from class I learned that it's not just him that made him do what he did. It is really cool to take the lesson we learned in class and relate it to something that I thought would have no relation.

About me

I am 17 years old and I am a senior. The biggest influences on my life are probably my family. I am planning on going to college but I am not sure where yet. One of my main goals in life is to have an exciting one.  I work at Go Roma and enjoy my job. I also wrestle for Stevenson which is fun and I like to keep in shape.
