Joseph Stalin thought of Ivan as a good leader and didn't think he had any mental illnesses. Some say that
Peter I of Russia is worse than Ivan.
Ivan's grandfather is
Mamai. His mother was poisoned when he was nine. His younger brother is a deaf mute. Anyone who befriended the boys the
boyars would torture and kill them. They would make the boys watch.
Ivan would torture animals in the ways that he saw people torture people.
At a young age the
boyars ran in searching for the
Metropolitan bishop. Soon as he learned out how to ride he would ride through town and whip people in the face.
At the age of 13 he ordered the guards to feed a powerful
boyar to his dogs. After this point in time he found his true strength.
He wrote music, read anything he could find, etc. yet he would be known for how strict and horrible he was.
He wanted to find a
new symbol to show his strength (age 16).
No independence in
Veliky Novgorod. No democracy in
Russia since. All of subjects should follow him and obey him unless he isn't acting in a christian way. If he isn't acting in a Christian people should be willing to suffer under an unjust ruler. A women who killed her husband is now considered a state killer (she is to be buried alive). A man has no penalty if he kills his wife. Only old women can go to church. Arranged Marriage, couples don't live with parents and have complete control over their own children this means you can sell your own children into slavery. At the age of 15 a male must join the military.

-If animals became rational,
Darwin believes that this social instinct would be the driving force behind their
morality.
-Man is rational and man is social. Since
Darwin has shown that the social instinct would be the driving force behind the
morality behind animals -Were they both social & rational- If thus follows that the social instinct is what drives human
morality. Friedrich Nietzsche

-Really any trait that might challenge the status quo is feared, and those who posses it are shunned.
-Morality is decided not by the common good, but what is good for the status quo.
