The Purge: An analysis of the implications of allowing ordinary citizens to legally commit violent crimes without legal ramifications.

The Purge (2013) is a film that takes place in a dystopian United States and follows one family during an annual event known as “The Purge”. During this event, all crime, including murder, is legal for 12 hours. The purge was created after the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) came into power and implemented it to reduce unemployment and crime.

In the film, the NFFA uses “the purge” as a way to control citizens by allowing them to commit violent crimes without legal repercussions, with the main goal being to kill off the poor so that they don’t live on welfare and take up jobs. It allows them to express their pent-up frustrations so that they do not revolt against the government or each other. The government uses the Purge to justify its radical policies and maintains its status quo. Without any opposition, it has full control over society. The film portrays the NFFA as fascist with “purifiers” who use masks as uniforms going door-to-door killing anyone in sight.

The film shows how criminals are able to

In the film The Purge, a dystopian society begins an annual ritual in which all crime is legal for one night. This includes murder and any other forms of violent crime. Citizens are given the option to either stay home, or to arm themselves and join in on the night of violence.

The film tackles many questions with this premise. What are the psychological ramifications of allowing people to commit violent crimes without suffering legal consequences? How will such a society evolve over time? How could such a society come into existence in the first place?

The film does not answer these questions directly, but it does provide a glimpse into one possible world that uses this system, and I believe there are many interesting implications to explore about such a world.

First of all, it’s important to note that such a system would hardly be sustainable if it were introduced today. In modern America, we have a prison population of 2 million people, which amounts to 1% of all adults being behind bars at any given time. For context, Stalin’s Soviet Union was estimated to have had 10% of its population imprisoned at its peak. If violent crime were allowed without legal repercussions, there would be nowhere near enough prison space available to contain the resulting chaos. This makes it unlikely that such a system could

My interest was piqued by the concept of letting citizens commit crimes without legal ramifications for a set period of time. The writers did an excellent job explaining how the purge would be made possible, but I’d like to examine some of the consequences that may not have been considered.

First, we have to address the question of why people would want to participate in this event. There would have to be some benefit from taking part in the purge, or else no one would participate. This is universal; if there is no benefit in doing something, then people will not do it.

There are two ways that the government can ensure participation: making it mandatory, or making participation beneficial. In this society, it’s clear that there is no compulsion involved. People are not forced to take part in the purge; they choose to do so because they get something out of it.

This is a good thing, because mandating an event like this has its own inherent problems. Forcing people to violate their own ethical and moral codes could lead to a large number of psychological issues; most notably among these is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you force someone who believes murder is wrong to participate in murder, then you are asking them to violate one of their

In the 2013 film The Purge, director James DeMonaco envisions a society in which all crime, including murder, is legal for 12 hours once a year. This period of lawlessness is known as “The Purge,” and it allows its citizens to release their most violent tendencies for one night of the year in order to maintain peace and stability within the rest of their society. Will this feel-good approach to violent crimes actually decrease their frequency? Or will the madness of The Purge cause its citizens to become monstrous versions of themselves?

The first scene shows us that the movie takes place in 2022, which means that The Purge has existed for a few years by this point. The protagonist is a man named James Sandin (Ethan Hawke), who makes his fortune selling security systems. He has found success selling these systems to his neighbors so that they may protect themselves from those trying to harm them during The Purge. While he seems like a good man who wants to help his community, his neighbors are less than appreciative. They are angry with him for making them more paranoid about each other.

James’s wife Mary (Lena Headey) is also uneasy with their family’s fortunes being built on the backs of her neighbors’ fears

On March 21st, 2013, the movie The Purge was released. The synopsis of this film is as follows: “Given the country’s overcrowded prisons, the U.S. government begins to allow 12-hour periods of time in which all illegal activity is legal. During one of these free-for-alls, a family must protect themselves from a home invasion.” This movie was very controversial at the time of its release, and received mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike. While some viewers found the concept to be absurd, many viewers found the plot line to be eerily similar to our current political climate, and that the implications of such a scenario are not too far off from what could be reality within our lifetime.

The Purge is a movie that was released in 2013, directed by James DeMonaco. It is about a dystopian society where for one day a year all crime (including murder) is legal and the police are not allowed to interfere. The official explanation from the government is that it helps maintain social order and keeps the crime rate low for the rest of the year. It also serves as a release for the violent tendencies in humans.

The Purge is an interesting idea because it allows a society to temporarily become lawless and explore its own limits. This can be compared to the real world, where most civilized countries, including America and Canada, have laws that make murder illegal, even if the person doing so was acting in self defense or was insane at the time of committing their actions. However, there are some societies that do allow people to commit certain crimes without legal ramifications. For example, in martial law, soldiers are allowed to kill enemies during war because they are obeying orders from their superiors who will receive punishment if laws are broken and will be considered heroes if they win. Another example is if someone commits murder out of self defense or insanity. In both cases, it would be considered unjust for those people to be punished because they were acting with good intentions (to

The year is 2023. America has long since recovered from a period of economic depression and social unrest. In 2025, the New Founding Fathers of America took power following the assassination of President Eden. Under the NFFA, crime and unemployment have dropped to 1%; however, critics contend that these numbers are misleading due to the fact that those who could not find work or were unemployed were simply executed for being “useless mouths.” In order to maintain this low crime rate, to preserve order in society, and to cleanse American society of its filth, a period called “The Purge” is held once a year for a period of twelve hours. During this time, all crimes (including murder) are legal. This essay will explore the relationship between wealth inequality and violence in American culture with respect to the Purge.

In order to understand why the Purge is an effective tool for maintaining peace within the United States, one must first understand why it was created in the first place. The NFFA created it in response to increasing social unrest during periods of economic depression in which violence was increasingly common as citizens became frustrated with their deteriorating quality of life. These periods happened repeatedly before eventually leading up to what would be known as “The Purge,” where citizens would
