Recommended: Why modern monsters have become

Today’s society is not limited to just one type of "monster". There is many different types of monsters, such as terrorists, murders, and thieves and they vary in shapes, sizes, ethnicities and so much more. You can honestly never know what to ever expect from some one. The main reason these monsters exist is the greed that all people posses. No generation is the same when it comes to the monsters they create, the monsters in the generation today may not be the same that past generations have created but, a generation never fails to showcase their monsters because, no matter what, there will always be monsters out there, whether it’s the common thief, a murder, or the next genocidal dictator , but, one thing is for sure and that is that greed is ultimately what creates a monster.
Murderers may be the biggest threat to our society because, today, it's impossible to tell who will be a murderer. That gives them the chance to develop a relationship with you. Maybe become your best friend, girlfriend, a wife, or worst of all a family member and, they could be extremely deceitful because sometimes that is never their intentions till a trigger sets them off. It still remains though that murderers are propelled by their own greedy reasons. They take lives because they feel its necessary for their own self gain. To push them forward or to put someone else back.
Millions of people live their lives are in danger every day. Not one single person can trust anyone, whether it be a stranger you just met that day and seems friendly, a friend you’ve had for years maybe even since birth, or even a family member that you were born trusting and spent your whole life with. It isn't always a guaranteed what someone thinks of and you never know what ...

... middle of paper ...

... more monsters out there ever day and as if there’s always something to fear. Prohibiting people to leave houses unlocked because of the fear of a robber stopping by while they are gone, or it be walking out the house without a means of self protection because of the fear of a rapist or someone wanting to put them in harms way. The worse is having to worry about family or someone that you cant control their actions or where they go.
Monsters keep the world on their toes. It may not be something to be thankful for but its something to be aware of. Making sure to take precautions, stay safe, and be smart. Its impossible to stop all things from happening but, people can try to prevent some and that’s better than nothing. There will always be monsters and no one can stop that. Don’t bully, be nice, and avoiding making enemies can help keep the world out of harms way.

Monsters have features that society deem to be scary or bad. The novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and the novella The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka follow the story of a 'monster'. Pushed away from society, and labeled as an outcast, the monster is often hurt by the people around it. However, the monsters in these stories were not always monsters. They were once simple creatures, loving and kind, who were pushed away by society, turned into outcasts and deemed unfit to live among the rest of society.
