Everyone’s mind works differently. Everyone has a different perspective on the world. So why is it that we all see things differently? Why don’t all people think the same way? Is it because of the way we are raised or were we just born that way? I personally don’t think people are born killers. So what changes us? I have a few ideas. The first main thing that I think has an impact is a troubled home life. I have read and watched many documentaries about killers and I have found that most killers are raised in an abusive home. Whether it’s verbal or physical there’s usually some sort of abuse involved, but this is by no means the only reason.
Studies have shown that some killers actually have legitimate problems with feeling remorse. There brains lack the empathy and feelings that we have. They are mentally unable to feel guilty for what they’ve done. So is there a way this can be resolved? Can we fix these people? We have ways of helping people with mental disabilities so why don’t we look for the signs in people and fix it before it’s too late? Neuroscientist Dr Kent Kiehl said "I tend to see psychopaths as someone suffering from a disorder, so I wouldn't use the word evil to describe them." Now I agree with this statement but I also disagree. I personally always use the word evil to describe killers and rapists because I believe they are evil. Though I understand why Dr Kiehl would say this. I also understand that killers don’t feel bad for what they’ve done but if they can’t feel remorse how can they feel pleasure? Many killers state that they like killing. I’m sorry but if you can enjoy taking a human life, if you can find pleasure in harming anyone then you are pure evil.
Another common occurrence i’ve noticed is killers and rapists tend to watch a lot of pornography. Ted Bundy actually said in an interview that all killers watch pornography at some point, and become addicted to it. He said that adult films are the root of evil. When you think about it, it’s very true. These men and some women create sexual fantasies that will never happen, so they end up forcing their fantasies upon others. I believe that there are ways to help these people but I also believe after they kill it’s too late late to help them. After they kill they don’t deserve a second chance. I just hope that one day science will be so developed that we’ll be able to dig a little deeper into these people’s minds, and find what makes them tick.
