Charles Manson Macabre is interesting. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s “disturbing because of association with death”. It’s interesting because some people don’t feel it and others have a constant fear of it. Serial killers obviously cause macabre in some people, but others find it truly fascinating. Do you know the story of Charles Manson? The full story, his childhood, his past? He had an interesting childhood, to say the least. He was born to a single mother who was, according to online sources, was fifteen when he was born. When Charles was 5 years old his Mother and Uncle were sentenced to 5 years in jail for a brutal but botched robbery. He was sent to live with his Aunt and Uncle until his Mother got out of jail. …show more content…
When he broke out of the school, he tried to go back to his mother, but she wouldn’t accept him. He committed many crimes during his childhood. Most of them were robberies. Later on he began to steal cars. Eventually, he married Rosalie Jean Willis and they had a child together. He was in prison when the son was born, Charles Manson Jr. Rosalie and Charles’ mother visited him frequently, they lived together at the time. One day his wife stopped visiting him. His mother told him that she had moved in with another man. He had a parole hearing coming up. Presumably, out of anger that his wife had left him, he tried to steal a car and escape. This was only two weeks before his parole hearing. His parole was denied, and he was given five years …show more content…
Wilson helped pave that way for recording sessions for Manson. The two of them treated the Manson Women like servants. He paid for recording sessions for Manson. He also paid for several other things. (They spent nearly $100,000 of his money in just two months!) Wilson’s manager eventually kicked them out. When they got kicked out they moved to a place called Spahn Ranch.
The Manson women acted as seeing-eye women for the nearly-blind 80 year old man who ran the ranch. Manson also had one of the women occasionally have sex with the elderly man, because of this, the man let them stay at Spahn Ranch for free. The “Family” members also did helpful work around the ranch. Soon, a man named Charles “Tex” Watson joined the “Family”. Later, Manson began to preach about something he called Helter Skelter.
Tex and Charles visited some friends of theirs in Topanga Canyon. Their friends played them “The Beatles” new album. Charles became obsessed with the album and with The Beatles. He began to preach that their song named Helter Skelter, was about the “Impending Race War”. They moved into two houses in Death Valley, to prepare for Helter Skelter. He coined the term Helter Skelter for the song. (Oddly humorous to think that they started killing while living in Death Valley.) He eventually became so obsessed with the album that he picked apart many of the songs. Eventually, he decided that the entire album was
Charles Manson, who is known today as the notorious criminal for the murder of not just one individual, but many. There are many books, movies, and journals about him and his actions that put society on pause for a while. As many today from past history, Charles Manson was a cult leader from the 1960’s. Some terms he describes himself, and what other individuals may describe him as are, a white supremacist, Nazi, a mass murderer, a druggy, and a cultist. The mind fogging issue here was that he didn’t commit the murders himself; he had his followers do all of the murdering, that’s how much of an influence he was the cult he led. He was born November 12th, 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio making him 82 years old today, and still alive. His residence
The idea of getting into the mind of a serial killer can either be frightening or fascinating, or both. Everyone is affected by the senseless killings of these serial killers. I can’t imagine a person that was not affected in some way or another by the Charles Manson murders or the Timothy McVeigh bombing. Although you may not know somebody that was killed by a serial killer, you have been affected.

Woodstock was created by four young men for the purpose to raise money for a recording studio, but because of the time, politically, it turned into something so much bigger.1 Woodstock was originally supposed to host only fifty-thousand patrons at a small industrial park in Wallkill, New York. However, this quaint fifty-thousand turned into an astonishing five-hundred-thousand people in Bethel, New York.2 The four men, Mike Lang, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld, and John Roberts, had printed out tickets for this event and anticipated selling them for seven dollars for one night, thirteen dollars for two days, and eigtheen dollars for all three nights.3 They decided, when word had gotten out there was a sudden increase in pros...
Charles' marriage was only the beginning of his "family." Charlie tended to lure in young women, by saying he could "make them feel like they were on top of the world, like they were floating (Fillmer 3)."

Before 1963, the music being played in the 60’s were closely reflecting the sound, style, and belief of the decades before. After 1963, many social influences changed what peopled were viewing as popular music. The assassination of Kennedy, war in Vietnam, and the Civil Rights Movement all greatly impacted the mood of American culture and how the music began to reflect change. The “British Invasion” was a time period in which many British bands and artists came to the United States, and excelled extremely well. The most famous of these bands were “The Beetles,” who would eventually go down in history as one of the most famous bands in history. At the height of the music industry in the 60’s, one single event changed American music forever. Woodstock was a three-day concert full of sex, drugs, and a lot of hippies. The organizers were only expecting about 50,000 people to show up. To their surprise, more than 400,000 appeared at the infamous dairy farm in New York. With artists like Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, many were drawn to witness this phenomenon. This festival is widely known as the definitive moment for the larger counter-culture generation. The 60’s drastically revolutionized music in a way that shaped music into the powerhouse that it is for generations to

Neither county police department really wanted to take responsibility for law enforcement in the area, so nobody kept an eye on Manson. Charles never let his family watch television or listen to the radio, which people say now, is the cause of what happened. Manson’s hard-core followers began to believe, without question, Manson’s claims that he was Jesus and his prophecies of a race war. Manson believed that there was still a tension between the blacks and whites and that would erupt into a cataclysmic race war ending in the slaughter of nearly all the white people. He called this doomsday “helter skelter.” His belief stated that while in the mist of these masseurs he and his family would stowaway in a deep hole in Death Valley. Upon the war’s end, the group would rise from the desert and rule the victorious blacks, whom Manson thought would be incapable of governing themselves. Manson became obsessed with the beetles white album, which included a song called “helter skelter.” Manson became impatient after his race war failed to
Charles Milles Manson (Charles Milles Maddox) was born November 12, 1934 in a large city called Cincinnati, Ohio. Son of Kathleen Maddox and Walker Scott (his biological father). He took William Manson’s last name (Kathleen’s husband). By the age of 16 Kathleen was an alcoholic and a prostitute. She married William Manson before Charles was born, so he never got to know his biological father. Kathleen and William’s marriage didn’t last long, they soon got a divorce. Charles mother didn’t want anything to do with him, so at the age of 13 he had to learn how to take care of his self living on the streets this resulted in stealing, breaking and entering, and petty theft. In result of being abandoned by his mother, all he knew was crime. Charles lived on his own until he was caught by authorities for trespassing on an abandoned train. He was placed in an all boys home named Father Flanagan's Boys Town. A few days after arriving there he escaped with another boy and committed two armed robberies. Around 1952, Manson was spending time in and out of jail. He was a “Model Prisoner” by the age of 17. This was just the beginning of Manson’s criminal record.
Even today Manson still acquires new followers daily, who believe his theories and treat him like the authority figure that he sees himself as. This is why he is still considered one of the most frightening and compelling criminals of the day.
Social deviancy is the violation of social norms. A deviant is someone who rejects folkways and mores. Any action that violates the values or rules of a social group is deviant behavior. In order to actually be characterized as a deviant, the individual must be detected committing a deviant act and be stigmatized by society. A stigma is a mark of social disgrace, setting the deviant apart from the group. Criminality is healthy for society. Deviance affirms our cultural values and norms. Responding to deviance clarifies moral boundaries and brings people together. There will always be people who break society’s rules and that’s important.
