Leadership, Ethics, Animal

"Experimenters said that approximately one-third of the guards exhibited genuine sadistic tendencies"(pg 488). Humans are some of the strangest creatures on this planet. There are many psychological ideas people enjoy such as anxiety or drama but the one that I find most cruel and unusual is sadistic. This is the mind set that people enjoy giving pain or watching other people suffer. Is it because causing misery is unethical so when you get a chance to try it for the first time at will you enjoy this newly idea. Sadism is what happen to these guards. They were allow to cause harm but some took it a step further and enjoy this procedure. Sadism, even thought its a psychological  things, is something I believe should get help treated. Imagine if everybody was a sadism. This world would be cover in blood, pain, misery and nobody would stop it because you enjoy it. That shouldn't be the society we should live in.

"Children who have witnessed such abuse or been victimized themselves frequently engage in what are known as "abuse reactive" behavior"(pg 499). Sadism is not only unethical but it could lead to a serious problem for the next generation at a young age. Children being expose to these violence could be traumatize into acting the same way themselves or maybe even worst. Their mind would be boggle by the confusing of what they see and as a result they would reenact a scenario to relieve themselves of the mind set that was imprinted in their brain. "In short, such children can only achieve a sense of safety and empowerment by inflicting pain and suffering on themselves and others"(pg 499). As this quote state, sadism would pressure children into they very same mind set and if they can't ignore it then as they continue this life style onto the next generation they same procedure will happen which will lead to the society of blood, pain, and misery.
