A Real American Rambo in Canada

​​Is Anti-Social behavior an aberration caused by mental health problems or "madness"?

Or is it a natural by-product of certain types of societies?

Can a society make someone Anti-Social? Wouldn't that be antithetical?​

For our non-fiction case study, we've picked the so-called Mad Trapper of Rat River from 1932.

In 1981, an action movie premiered based on The Mad Trapper of Rat River. It was called Death Hunt.

Then in 1982, we had ​First Blood which had a similar storyline

Both Rambo and Bronson’s Albert Johnson start out as mysterious characters — outsiders and complete unknowns, who are hunted down for questionable reasons.

​Both were good guys pushed to their limits by other good guys—all upstanding members of society and therefore considered "Social"— not "Anti-Social". 

​In the movie, Albert Johnson was mistaken for a serial killer. The RCMP were later informed that he was US Army Intelligence. 

​​​​​​What about the real Albert Johnson?

Was he a criminal or a victim?

Was he Anti-Social?

Was Rambo Anti-Social? Compared to what?

Even if Albert or Rambo were or are anti-social, did society make them that way?
