Haman- being are born with certain needs and traits and regardless of where we are from and our back grounds we dream dreams and we also fanticise and many times we hope we could get the opportunity to act out our fanticy or even see someone acting out our fanticy . We are intrigue by many things and the thought Robin wood robbing the sheriff takings, the act of bonny and Clyde alluding the FBI for such a long time, or even Jesse James train robberies are no different. We are motivated by different things and our action are fuel by circumstances we find our selves in, and even though we have not seen a Robbin Wood going around robbing from the rich and giving to the poor it does mean that their is not a need for it. Banditry comes about because their was a need to be filled, it was born out of necessity the poor was been oppress and trodden down by the powers that be and someone came along and offer hope.

The definition for the word bandit is and person who is an arm robber or a member of an arm gang, and the definition for the term outlaws are people who brake the law and remain at large. It’s very important that we look at the origin of this practice and what are the circumstances that fuel this practice. Historian pointed out that there are two kinds of bandits whereby have the social bandits and bandits, the social bandit are bandits who rob from the rich and give to the poor and bandits are simply those who are just robbers for themselves. Throughout the nineteen centuries this practice is regarded in some quarters of society as been a noble thing to do because common man was been oppression by the system. Like any other consequences banditry also comes with a price and the price is the greed of man who only wants to feather their nest and shear no alliance to no one this is evident in some these dandits, other motives that leds to baditry are politics and anti slave freedom, this is the case of Jesse James who rob trains and banks which was affiliated to a certain political movement and those who support the freedom of slavery.www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1E1-JamesJe.html - 73k www.robinhood.ltd.uk/robinhood/history.html - 6k
