 Psychopath? no, just a politician 

Thesis: This leads us to questions such as, are psychopath born like that or modeled by society or environment? Why are women less likely to be detected with psychopathy? Difference between sociopaths and psychopaths, which one is most dangerous? There are thousands of testes that had to be taken in order for someone to be diagnose with this disorder. In fact, psychopaths are considered people with a mental disorder that can be dangerous and with no empathy toward people, often are shown as serial killers, the cause of psychopathic behavior has not yet been determined but it's being said that is because of genes and their environment they were raised on.

            In this peer reviewed article, Pemment, J. discuss his argument with a definition to psychopathy and their symptoms and behavior a little of background of the term psychopath some popular tag about psychopaths and a brief definition.  As we continue explain his research we find a section called “The cycle of violence” were he discus psychopaths behavior toward their own son. Later on we are introduce to a interest part of his research the female psychopath, it give some definition and some important facts about. It ends up with a conclusion that basically tell us that psychopathy has not been found a cure or a start point.
            This article is very important to my research people because it help me in the development of a whole topic. Due to my interest in this topic I wanted to view it from a different point with a bigger variation.  Even though I only use some portions of this piece of literature, I did felt that it was helpful. One section that I use was the female psychopath, which are less than man psychopaths in a ratio of 3:1. Also when talking about the conclusion it help me develop my own conclusion by using his as an example.

From http://onesearch.cuny.edu/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=TN_apa_articles10.1037%2Fa0031409&context=PC&vid=jj&lang=en_US&search_scope=everything&adaptor=primo_central_multiple_fe&tab=default_tab&query=any,contains,Emergence%20of%20Lying%20in%20Very%20Young%20Children,AND&sortby=rank&mode=advanced&offset=0
             Emergence of lying in very young children by Evan Angela D. and Kang Lee was a very complex experiment in which important conclusions were told. The research took some advanced math skills when in come to identifying who lie or who didn’t. It started with an abstract in which it was stated the point being cover. The experiment itself was introduce along with some math formulas that were going to be use depending the age of the kid. In the discussion part it was told that kids of 42 month could detect a lie and lie in a very simple way.
             This article help me in the definition of psychopaths and how they were so good at tricking people. The article stated that at a very young ages we are capable of lying and identifying a lie. This help me in stating my point that because psychopaths same as all other human have a long experience with lying and no morals it was easier for them to trick their victims. The article also help me in explaining why psychopath are experts at lying.

October 19, 2017, from https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/features/sociopath-psychopath-difference#1
An article by Kara Mayer Robinson in which some difference between psychopaths and sociopaths was stated. Through her study she interview Michael Tompkins a psychologist at the Sacramento County Mental Health Treatment Center. Her interview stated some points in were the difference between psychopaths and sociopaths was stated, about their Conscience and their violent characteristic. Also some brain difference among them was discuss, along with how they were define as Cold-Hearted Psychopath, Hot-Headed Sociopath.
The article itself was very interesting but the main point I will use in my research from this article is to identify the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths. An example that will definitely make a difference between them is their brain differences. I used specific word used by Michael Tompkins to state their differences. Also having a professional opinion about my topic will give a stronger claim and will make my research paper sound more credible.

             An article with a very simple view and search. To find the motivations of psychopaths and what they feel attraction for. The article talks money and power being psychopath’s goal. That what motivates them is the power the want to get and control over others. The article includes some charts in which psychopaths were ask some question and the data was collected there. The charts state what actually the look for in life.
With the help of this article I will tell my readers what actually psychopaths look for. That just like all of us they also have interest and motivations that helps them guide their steps. Psychopath’s main goal is power and money, which is the main goals for a large portion of the population. This section will help me develop a point in which i will not only state the motivations and goals of psychopaths but also how they are related to our goals and motivations too.

Reflection to Final Version of Research Paper

Reflection on Smile of Terror             While writing my research paper, I realize that most of the time I use present and past tense in one sentence. I often attend the writing center for this issue. The use of quotes an explaining was not a trouble for me; the library sections help me a lot when I look for articles.  The peer review helps me a lot when It came to reduce extra words. For example, my introduction was one and half page long, but with the help of Nicolas a peer, I was able to omit unnecessary details. Also, he helped me introduce a very hard point between to paragraphs. Overall the research when in the right way I was able to add more emotion and logic into it. I wanted to add more illustrations, but I was unable to find a specific spot where to add them.             In my personal view, the research itself have all needed for a good grade, but th...

Journal Entry #9

My Life My Choice  “Don’t let anyone affect the way you think” those were the word my mom told me when I followed my friends into the wrong path of cutting class. After a few days of though I finally realize how important those words were. To not let yourself become a victim of peer pressure, or to let other influence in your ideologies. After readying some experiments done by the common people I realize how the idea of peer pressure sure was a problem. For example, in the articles student who knew were right in the decision they made, decided to choose the wrong answer to avoid an uncomfortable moment. Also in the video were a man is in the elevator following the other people around him, he follows without questioning.  In the video that we saw during the English101 -53 we see peer pressure play a big role in weather someone makes de right or wrong decision. In fact, it does make a big difference in a person mind, if this type of pressure is put into a big scale it ...

Journal Entry #10

Pay to Live, and Sell to Eat   Human trafficking has been a big and controversial topic. People that donate organs illegally or being force to work as sexual slaves is something that is not tolerated. In my English course we had some reading in were human trafficking was discus. Facts about it were brought up, and most of the people who suffer for human trafficking come from the low-income families and countries. Is an option that people decide to take to gain some money or something they are force to work because they fear of the consequences. Is an easy way for people to found donors when they need it, even though is illegal there are not a lot of law against it when we compare it with war against drugs.             Human trafficking sure is a big problem but some benefits can be found on it. For example, finding donors to save someone’s life, but when it comes to force people to work as sex slaves then it became...
