Question

In narrative format discuss the key facts and critical issues of the life, crimes, and conviction of Aileen Wuornos.

1. Given her life circumstances do you believe that her life circumstances were ultimately a product of her free will? If so, to what extent could we claim that her freedom was at least limited by factors beyond her control?

2. To what extent might her "choices" - to be promiscuous, to engage in underage drinking, to act criminally - have been determined for her, given the sexual and verbal abuse to which she was subjected as a child?

3. If Aileen Wuornos' behaviors were at least in part, a product of her early life experiences and formative development, should she still be regarded as morally blameworthy and legally accountable for her actions?

Answer 1

In narrative format discuss the key facts and critical issues of the life, crimes, and conviction of Aileen Wuornos.

1. If, we look all over her life circumstances and childhood then, her childhood was not so happy as other child as she never met her father as her mother was departed with her father before her birth. And, she also left with her grandparents by her mother in early age only, after she was molested with her grandfather too. she, got pregnant in her early age And, she was also opt to get married to very old age men in her early age. So, with this given description we can say that her life circumstances were a product of her free will. And, if we talk about the limitation in her life then she was never got such leason and upbringing which can help her to understand right and wrong.

2. If, we are talking about choices then we only make choices with our learning, upbringing and circumstance , and if we are talking about Aileen wuornos then her life and circumstances was not that much healthy which can make her capable to take her decision for her benifits. So, her choices to be promisuous , to engage in underage drinking, to act criminally was her own decision but, was also a impact of her childhood.

3.Aileen Wuornos' behaviors were at least in part, a product of her early life experiences and formative development, but still she is responsible for criminal activitiy because, she, didnt had a good childhood but while doing criminal activtiy she was enough mature to think about his consiconcess not for the first time but atleast when she attempt murder many times.
