(01:22):
Today, I decided to read aspecial article from Time Life magazine from the
inside the Criminal Mind copy from Februarytwenty nineteen. The article I will read

(01:49):
is called psychopath versus sociopath. Thetwo words are often used interchangeably, but
psychopaths are controlled more by their genesand sociopaths by their life circumstances. Psychopathic

(02:15):
criminals are specially formidable predators because oftheir ability to manipulate people and circumstances coldheartedly
and their own advantage. Their socialcounterparts, meanwhile, tend to lash out

(02:42):
with raw sudden ferocity, but bothare victims of a mental disorder asp D,
anti social personality to order and eachgroup is the product of both genetic

(03:06):
and social factors. Indeed, psychopathsand sociopaths have a lot in common,
but psychopaths are controlled more by theirgenes and sociopaths more by their life circumstances.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manualof Mental Disorders used by psychiatrists,

(03:35):
psychopaths and sociopaths share quote a pervasivepattern of disregard for and violation of the
human rights of others end quote.Although alienated from the mainstream, many,
if not all, if not most, appear normal. They know how to

(04:01):
act around other people, and caneven be well liked generally by faking normal
behavior. These wolves in sheep's clothingare specially dangerous because they are harder to
discern than those who are noticeably off. We will now go through two columns

(04:32):
of comparison of psychopaths versus sociopaths.On the topic of moral awareness. Psychopaths
have no sense of right and wrong. They lack conscience, They lack moral

(04:53):
insight, whereas sociopaths have a senseof right and wrong but feel unconstrained by
morality. On emotions, psychopaths areincapable of emotion or empathy for others,

(05:13):
whereas sociopaths are capable of emotion butin limited capacity for empathy relationships. Psychopaths
are unable to form emotional bonds withothers, whereas sociopaths are able to form
emotional bonds with certain individuals under certaincircumstances. Outward appearance, psychopaths appear successful,

(05:46):
intelligent, charming, composed, sincere, and trustworthy, whereas sociopaths appear
irritable, restless, impatient, andhot tempered. Psychopaths and their social skills

(06:10):
are manipulative, deceitful, narcissistic,predatory, and skilled at playing roles,
whereas sociopaths are antisocial, unsophisticated,heedless, and get what they desire by

(06:31):
taking it. Violence. Psychopaths arecold blooded, premeditated, controlled, symbolic,
deliberately, cruel, and furative,whereas sociopaths are spontaneous, uncontrolled,

(06:54):
reactive, explosive, and flagrant criminalmethods. Psychopaths have detailed planning, secrecy,
risk management, and prolonged torture,whereas sociopaths lack planning, have knee

(07:18):
jerk reactions, confrontation, speed,and savagery. Motivation psychopaths are motivated by
power, control, exploitation, greed, and revenge, whereas sociopaths are motivated

(07:45):
by entitlement, anger, revenge,and reactions. Examples of psychopaths include Ted
Bundy, Jeffrey Dalmer, and JohnWayne Gacy. Sociopaths, for example,

(08:07):
would be Jack the Ripper and Lizzieborden Well. I hope you enjoyed that
