1. Bernie Goetz got into a New York subway and was threatened for money by a group of gangs, an event which turn this man into a first-time criminal, leading him to pulling out his gun and shooting the group. I personally do not think that Bernie Goetz is either a cold-blooded murderer or a heroic vigilante; to me, he is just an oroinary man affected by the environment or the power of context at the time; what he did was to defend himself and it is true that he had long detested that type of subway gangs. All in all, the power of context coupled with the hatred he held should be held responsible for the shooting.
6. Well I believe that the reason that made Gandhi and Mandela able to immerged seemingly uncorrupted after being subject to the most brutal and atrocious conditions is self-control. They were both committed to what they believed in and were so highly self-disciplined that they were able to prevent the surrounding from contaminating their mind.
