Sociopaths and the Entertainment Industry

The other day I began doing research for a white paper on sociopaths, more specifically "How to raise a sociopathic child" - not how to create one but how to help them to NOT become serial killers. First off, there is no cure for the sociopathic condition. Secondly, being a sociopath does not mean you will turn into a killer. I believe that is where everyone is seriously mislead.

Sociopaths exist with the larger concentration right here in the United States. Hmmmm...I wonder why? I bet it has to do with The American Dream; thank you JT Adams! Add the media and thus perpetuates the fall of society, a giving society. I will venture to say there is a high concentration of sociopaths right here in Los Angeles with the majority working within the entertainment industry - too many non-deserving, uneducated and over educated, selfish and greedy people rising to heights in non-traditional and Godless ways.

"Our society is moving in the direction of permitting, reinforcing, and in some instances actually valuing some of the traits listed in the Psychopathy Checklist - traits such as impulsivity, irresponsibility and lack of remorse." - Dr. Robert Hare

Am I wrong?

Oh and yes, I'm researching for my Criminal Minds spec script. My House spec is getting very good reviews. I thought House was a challenge because I am not a MD, but I believe Criminal Minds will be the ultimate challenge because this is what I am an expert in, especially since I subconsciously profile people in my everyday life - it helps me cope to deal with the plethora of egos within the entertainment industry (there's only one SUPER EGO). While I love that profiling aspect of my mind, its also a curse at times because I don't give people a chance to become close. Oh well, I think I'm better off. I don't require closeness (yep a sociopathic tendency).
