 I've once again managed to survive an arduous week of school. Assignments have been done satisfactorily, I've passed the tests and quizzes I took this week, and I've got homework tucked away for this weekend.
More now than ever, I'm appreciating the weekends. It's just they're not long enough anymore. :p
Today in Sociology, our class watched Beth, Child of Rage. It's a collection of interviews and recorded therapy sessions revolving around a six-year old girl named Beth. Beth was neglected and sexually abused as a baby, and grew up to be a conscience-free terror.
She admitted on the video to attempting several times to kill her younger brother and foster parents. She wanted to stick pins into them "a lot." She abused her younger brother when she was only six years old. She knew about parts of the anatomy of humans that she probably shouldn't. =/
And all this time, she showed no remorse about anything. Punishment did not phase her in the least. She did not feel guilt.
At one point in the movie, they show parts of an interview with Beth's foster parents. Her foster mother recalls an instance when there were several knives missing from the kitchen. They were gone for several weeks, and she suspected from the beginning that Beth had them. And yet, she did nothing. She didn't ask Beth, she didn't search them out to make sure Beth did not have them (because, who knows what she was doing/would do with them?); I was thinking to myself, does the mother have a death wish? O-o'
She's attempting to raise a child who wants to kill her, her husband, and their adopted son. And she freely admits that. They tie her door shut at night to keep her from abusing her brother. With knives, who knows what she would do at night? That was just stupid, I thought. I would not let missing knives go without investigation.
Then again, within the program. Beth mentions that she liked to stick pins into her brother and her parents. And I'm sitting there thinking: "Where's she get the pins from?" O_o;;
Keep an eye of the sewing basket, you fools!
*shakes head* It was an interesting movie. After we finished watching it, our teacher brought up an idea. What if we made an army, or a team, made up of these beings with no conscience? They'd have almost no inhibitions, simply because they were never taught any.
*ponders*
Oh! I know what I can put here.... *grins*
It's a special list from my Psychology/Sociology class. ~_^
