On May 6, 2013 a 911 operator in Cleveland, Ohio received a call that shocked the nation. The call was from Amanda Berry who had been kidnapped ten years ago saying that she was here and she was free. For years Berry and two other missing women had been held captive by Ariel Castro in his home, which was later described as the "Cleveland House of Horrors”.
On this day, Castro made the simple mistake of failing to properly secure the front door and only secured the exterior screen door. Berry’s daughter Jocelyn made the observation that “Daddy’s car was gone” and while at first hesitant Amanda Berry took the opportunity to open the door and scream for help as she realized this may be her only chance.

The current accepted definition of a Sociopath is “a personality disordered person that exhibits patterned behavior similar Antisocial Personality Disorder, often criminal or deviant, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. The Sociopath also exhibits amoral behavior, fails to learn from his/her experiences, lacks the ability to establish meaningful personal relationships, extremely egocentric and narcissistic and frequently engages in fantasizing about wanting to victimize, torture and enslave a targeted victim(s).”Castro was a sociopath, he was driven by needs for absolute power, domination and control. Whether Ariel Castro’s prison cell suicide was out of loss or fear, this still ties in with the sociopath’s fixation for control. It is likely that assuming his intense fixation and need to dominate and control so strong he saw life was no longer worth living as he came to the horrific realization that his worst fear had come to life. Men like these cannot be treated, it is who they are it is their very being. There is no viable excuse for acts like these in ny court of law and they present a high risk to any
Every human being has feelings and emotions. When they get frustrated, some of them cry, scream, swear, and some of them try to find peace of mind while some of them commit crime. Out of these people who commit crimes, some of them become the most dangerous criminals, known as serial killer. A serial killer is a term to describe that human being who commits series of murder. The word ‘serial killer’ was given by Robert K. Russler (FBI Investigator) in 1975 after he encountered series of murders. Serial killers are just not murderers but also the victim of bad society or the bad environment in which they grew up in.
When a bird is put into a cage, it feels trapped. Even if it wants to leave, it can’t. All of it’s decisions have already been made for them. When it tries to speak out, we shut it up. In the book Out of the Easy by Rupa Sepetys, Josie, the main character, was treated like a bird in a cage, trying to escape and always trying to seek help. The decisions her mom made impacted her more than the decisions Josie made for herself. Since her mom was labeled as a “whore” or “a prostitute”, Josie was thought of that as well. But Josie turned her situation around, she had a willingness and such strive to get out of her rusty cage, her miserable town; she didn’t let her past affect her future.
The novel focuses on a young man named Jean-Baptiste Grenouille and his murders of throughout the novel, in order to take the essence of their aroma and make a perfume out of it. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how Jean-Baptiste Grenouille can be said to be sociopath and show sociopathic tendencies. In all actuality, no sane human really has the mentality of slaughtering another human being for their smell, especially for a personal gain, like the perfume in Baptiste's case, so naturally the person is usually identified as a psychopath or at least a human with psychopathic tendencies, or a sociopath. The mentality of Grenouille could be compared to that of a drug addict. Said addicts know it is wrong to be doing such things but because it gives them a sense of power over their lives, something where they could have little to no control over, it makes them not want to stop or even care to. Many people argue that Grenouille is a psychopath instead of a sociopath, which in any case could be justified but there are just more facts that state and justify why Grenouille is more likely to fit into the category of sociopath instead of psychopath,
Castro is now plotting out his next abduction five blocks away from the street where he kidnapped Berry, he had found Gina Dejesus April 2,2004. Gina was close friends with Castro’s daughter, Arlene Castro. Ariel Castro was also friends with Dejesus’ dad. On the day she was kidnapped, Dejesus and Arlene Castro were heading home from school. While walking home from school Gina Dejesus disappeared after being offered a ride by former school bus driver who so happened to be Ariel Castro ironically the father of one of Dejesus's friends, Arlene Castro (who was the last to see Dejesus alive prior to her disappearance). Dejesus's mother had given her $1.25 to take the bus home, but Gina decided to walk. But rather than take Dejesus home, Castro took
There are many character traits that make someone successful in life. Some traits you are born with, other traits are mindsets. There are a few character traits that coaches, teachers, bosses, or any other significant figure looks for in particular. One of the most important character traits is a hard-working attitude. You aren’t born with a hard-working attitude. It is a mindset. You may not be the best employee, but an employer will be more willing to work with someone that works hard than someone that can do the job but is lazy. Although I am not the best at everything, I give 100% effort in everything that I do and believe that working hard is the most important trait a person can possess.
10473198 VICTIMOLOGY [SOWK 341] LECTURER: MS.ABIGAIL LABBY ASSIGNMENT 1 DATE: 28TH SEPTEMBER, 2015 10473198 Introduction Sociopathy is a mental condition where an individual has a lack of interest in, or care for, the rules of a society. The term denotes a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. Notable sociopaths include Ted Bundy (1948-1989), Notorious Armed robber Ataa Ayi, Brian Dugan, and Robert John Maudsley among many others.
In the tragedy, Othello, written by William Shakespeare in 1603, the readers are never given a direct answer on why Iago acts the way he does, and why manipulates and tortures everyone in his life. Thus not being given a direct answer on why he does this without any remorse, readers are to draw conclusions on their own, to tie the loose ends on his ways. Iago shows many characteristics of being mentally ill, with a psychopathic disorder. Shakespeare has left the readers to figure this out, and to use the text to presume if he is a wether he is a psychopath or not.
Narcissists are the namesakes of the legendary Greek boy that fell in love with his reflection in a fountain. Narcissus was so enamored with the face in the fountain that he confessed his feelings of love. The boy waited for a response that never came. Narcissus stayed by the fountain unable to eat or drink, eventually dying.
Neurologically, serial killers have common brain structure abnormalities that cause them to lack emotions as well as to think irrationally. Their family history includes unhappy relationships with their parents who usually have beaten them or mentally/sexually abused them. This may cause them to be unable to form healthy relationships and lack empathy and remorse. Serial killers can be distinguished by their deceitfulness and their need to control people. Depending on if they are organized or disorganized killer, they have certain personality characteristics. Personality disorders such as Antisocial and Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as schizophrenia, are common among serial killers. Since serial killers are exposed to traumatic environments, their brains change their structure in order to respond to their experiences.

People always consider corporations as same as human, so if humans can be psychopath, then the corporations can also be psychopath. The 6 characteristics of the psychopath that applies to the corporations are callous unconcern for the feeling for others, incapacity to maintain enduring relationships, reckless disregard for the safety of others, deceitfulness repeated lying and conning others for profit, incapability to experience guilt, and failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors (Jurkiewicz, 2012). Also, in the film, an economist said, “the corporation is a artificial and legal structure, but the people who are engaged in (stakeholders, employees, executives) have more responsibilities”.
Unable to open my eyes, waking up trying to identify where I was, pedestrians stared, pointed and yelled “Oh! My god. Call 911”. Cars drove by. The sirens were heard but not spotted. What Happened? Where was I? I wept as if the entire world, and all of its beauty, had come to an end. And in a way, it had. On the night of April 7,1997 my thin body flew from the backseat passenger side of a Nissan Sentra crashing through the front passenger window onto the roadway of Old Town, Staten Island.
The opposition might also state that recent studies show sociopathic behavior results in the disposition to abuse drugs (Trezza, Baarendse, and Vanderschuren 1721). However, this assertion is inaccurate. As any type of mental illness could be directly related to cocaine or alcohol abuse. For example, social behavior is influenced by peers. If friends and family are involved in addictive behavior, it is logical that those accused of sociopathy are likely to participate in such activities as drug use (Trezza, Baarendse, and Vanderschuren 1721). Also, it is logical to say that drugs are going to fall in the wrong hands repeatedly. Therefore, it is impossible to predict if someone with sociopathic tendencies is going to end up with them. It has been mentioned that further investigation is necessary to really determine whether antisocial personality disorder and substance abuse is truly related (Shorey, Anderson, and Stuart 343).
Mental disorders are dreadful things that can attack without warning. While some are aware of the disorders that affect them, others are not, and they can therefore be affected by their disorders to the point of no return. Sociopathy and psychopathy, which can stem from either environmental factors or brain abnormalities, are examples of this. While there are misconceptions about the true identities of these disorders and the differences between them, this paper will attempt to inform the readers of their distinctions, and just where in the world they are present. This paper will also discuss how to confront those who are affected, and the factors that are involved in doing so.
