    What is a psychopath? How would we describe a psychopath? Although people may have a different opinion of the description of a psychopath, there are some aspects that most people will agree on. From our understanding, psychopaths are impulsive, ego-centric, and sometimes violent individuals, who lie and manipulate others for their own personal gain. At the same time, psychopaths can be charming which explains how they manage to easily manipulate others. The most intriguing characteristic, however, is the lack of conscience within a psychopath. We can all agree, it seems as if psychopaths feel no remorse or guilt after exhibiting their…

    Approximately 840 students at Harvard University may be psychopathic; a shocking suggestion, but one that is tackled by psychologist and former Harvard professor Martha Stout in her book The Sociopath Next Door. Stout suggests that up to 4% of the population meets the diagnostic criteria of ‘sociopath.’ Colloquially, the term ‘psycho’ is often used, but its actual meaning includes several specific traits: a failure to conform to social norms, impulsivity and indifference to name a few. In the simplest of terms, psychopaths lack conscience. It is generally agreed that psychopathy and sociopathy are synonymous terms and are referred to in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD).…

    The Joker displays qualities of the new type of villain authors/ directors like to use. The Joker’s method of terrorizing people is very strange. None of his actions are explained, which makes him incredibly mysterious. One example of his strangeness is his scars on the sides of his mouth. Each time he tells a different story of how he got them. He is a stock character, meaning there was no information on his origins, we, the audience, just knew what kind of character he was…obviously, completely insane. The Joker’s ways of attack are very strategic and clever. You, as the audience, never know what he will do next and whatever he does, he always makes you jump. His way of life is that with rules, life is boring.…

    The persona of a sociopath appears to be much like any human. In many cases, one would not be able to "pick him out of a crowd." Their minds, however, differ greatly from the average mind. A sociopath is extremely smart and methodical and most often is very meticulous in the way in which he acts. While many people are not thinking beyond the norm, a psychopath thinks about his every breath, step, and word. In the short story "Where are you going, Where have you been?" by Joyce Carol Oates, the depiction of a sociopath is apparent. Arnold’s mannerism, thoughts and tactics create the perfect portrayal of a truly sociopathic character.…
