DF#6

This is really for those who are Star Wars fans since background on character development is needed.

·  Watch the following clip.

Anakin and Padme (Mustafar) in HD! (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

·  What type of murder did Anakin commit in “killing” his wife?

·  In some cases, one can build an argument that Anakin is a terrorist. How can you justify this statement using the types/forms of terrorists described in Chapter 10 (you’ll have to jump ahead in the reading)?

·  Apply Agnew’s General Strain theory by identifying and discussing what the three sources of strain are for Anakin (what prevents him from his individual dream? what was the positively values stimuli that was removed? what negative exposure did he experience?), what are his negative affective states, and finally what was his antisocial or criminal behavior that resulted from all of this strain?

·  Social process theories (Ch 7) state that Anakin would have learned to become deviant and stray from the Jedi ways. Who do you think played a pivotal in his socialization towards the darkside? Apply differential association theory and describe the ways in which Anakin learned to internalize the norms, values, behaviors of deviance.

·  In what ways did Anakin justify or rationalize his deviance? For instance, what techniques of neutralization did he use when after he choked his wife or speaks about taking over the empire?
