“The Saints and the Roughnecks” by William Chambliss and “On Being Sane In Insane Places” by David Rosenhan. Additionally, I will be discussing the far-reaching effects of negative labeling an individual, with respect to concepts such as labeling theory, the self-fulfilling prophecy, and master status. In “The Saints and the Roughnecks,” Chambliss describes two gangs at Hannibal High school, the Saints, eight promising young men from upper-middle class families, and six lower class boys known as the
relationships of Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, who hung for the murders of the Clutters, a prominent family from Holcomb, Kansas. By examining their lives, relationships, and personalities, it becomes easy to conclude that these two murderers were unrightfully cheated from the correct penalization because Kansas’ law prevented them from obtaining the correct treatment for the criminally insane. Dick and Perry did not deserve the death penalty. Complex and emotion driven, Perry Smith, the more disturbed
them, and then we can start to see it as evil. To this reader, their love is tied up with evil because their love has become more important than anything else in their lives and because it is destroying both of them. It is evil to expect another human being to do for you what it is impossible for another human being to do.

caused people to question the validity and reliability of the diagnostic categories as well. The validity and reliability were especially questioned after the Rosenhan experiment in the 1970s in which it was concluded that the sane could not be distinguished from the insane in psychiatric hospitals.

aristocracy. Pushkin’s personal life was often the subject of public debate among his readers and the Russian aristocracy, forcing him into a some what reclusive state. His prose was innovative, but, in the early research, very few bothered to interpret why the style was so effective. What about the words made Pushkin different?

It and other successful horror movie series, such as Friday the 13th and Halloween, are frequently analyzed from Freudian psychological perspectives and characterized as allegories of the psychological dynamic underlying the return of the repressed.
