In this weeks lecture we concentrated on the subject of 'bandits' and 'outlaws'. When thinking about this topic: Robin Hood comes into mind, he was the noble man who robbed from the rich to give to the poor.
We were then asked to think about when are the bad guys, the good guys? The were divided into bandits and social bandits. Social bandits are champions of the weak. They are peasants who have fled the bonds of serfdom. These social bandits wouldn't steal form the immediate locality but from another village.
We then went on to discuss 'Jesse James', who came from a well - off family who owned their own slaves. He was a bandit with a social conscience, classed as a Weston robin hood and a political figure.
