Demented Minds

Serial killing, rape, stealing all these types of heinous crimes may be done by someone who seems to be normal, but in actuality this person may be very sick. There are people in the world today who wear "masks" and pretend to be something they are not. These people are psychopaths. Psychopaths fit in to society with the public not knowing what are capable of. What is it that causes people to become psychopaths? What is it that creates the diabolical mind ? It is very disturbing for normal people to accept why serial killers , murderers etc. are motivated to commit such a brutal offence but, what society assumes is that these people have a conscience. Psychopaths have no conscience and no remorse for their victims. It has not yet been officially scientifically confirmed yet but scientists / psychologists believe that these people may lack something in their brain. Several tests have been done that show evidence to that the inner workings of a psychopath's brain do not work the same as sain people's brains. The previous is well illustrated in the following : The subjects were asked to perform a simple task : hit a button as soon as they recognised a word flashed on the screen .... What they found was that normal subjects spent more time processing emotion- laden words then the psychopaths. ("No conscience, no remorse" pg 2 of 2) The problem may not only originate from a brain defect but it may also come from child-hood situations. Most media famed psychopaths (Adolph Hitler, Ted Bundy, Sadaam Housaine) came from broken homes and were beaten by their fathers . The insecurity of these individuals caused they to terrorize, rape and murder people to make them fell superior . They needed a feeling of superiority due to the way they were treated as a child. This treatment during the younger stages of their life made them feel excessively inferior. The behaviour of an individual with the diabolical mind can be described easily by one word , mask . Diabolical people try to fit in today's society by putting on a show or wearing a "mask" . They try to fit in by being very sociable, getting a good job and having a family . This is all to cover-up their true nature, their true selves. Psychopaths are quite sensible and know what is right and wrong. A good example of a phycopath is : charming, self-interested, glip and impulsive individuals . (No conscience, no remorse pg 1 of 2) . These people often hold down jobs where they can be corrupt. They have jobs like manipulative corporate careerists , thugs in professional sports or as underhanded politicians . Ted Bundy is one of the most well known psychopaths and serial killers to date. This is a man who came from a broken home. His
