Social Impacts Of Psychopaths And Sociopaths

Social Impacts of Psychopaths and Sociopaths Name Institution/Affiliation Course Professor Date Social Impacts of Psychopaths and Sociopaths Introduction Every society is made up of different characters and personalities. There are those who lie consistently while there are those who wish to be and often are controlling or manipulative. However, some of these people have a certain limit or cannot go past a certain level mainly because their human nature or selves stop them. One’s conscience or moral code is often always there to call things to order when it seems like things are getting out of hand. But what happens when one chooses to ignore those disturbing noises in our heads or genuinely lacks this disturbing noise? Where should we take these people and are they fit to live with other people? Well, the answer is yes, and the truth is, they have been living among other people since man first set foot on earth.

Sociopaths and psychopaths try to rationalize their actions, and some even exempt themselves from blame. * One another difference between normal people and sociopaths and psychopaths is that the former knows when to accept they are wrong but the latter two never accept they are wrong.
