VIDEO RESPONSE #4: MIND OF A MURDER

In the video MIND OF A MURDER, Dr. Lewis presents a different idea that murder simply murder because they are born evil. Instead she presents the argument that murders are made not born. She gets this from interviewing over 200 murders and as a child psychologist she saw this in juvenile delinquents. What she found was that several murders had more hospital visits , were undernourished and neurological damage. 
     Personally, I believe Dr. Lewis with that murders are made not born. No one is born evil; we are born innocent and pure with no bad intentions. It is our childhood, parents and brain anatomy that shape us into becoming the people we are today. This is supported by the story of Terrance, whom one day snapped and killed his family after wife flirted with ex-husband. After this they discovered, he had bipolar disorder, manic depression and was borderline retarded. This was due to injuries in sports and abusive childhood. 
The video relates back to what we learned how injuries to the brain can effect our behavior to a point where we can become murders. Because from the study Dr.Lewis realized that some murders had more hospital visits and accidents in their childhood. This supports the theory that murders are made by their environment. If you grew up in a house where your mother was an alcoholic, couldn't keep a job and your father hit your mother it is very probable you will end up with a very messed up idea of family. And will be the same way when you grow up, it unavoidable. This is a very scary thought because people don’t really know each other and what they are capable even some people themselves what they are capable of. Because these brain injuries are not like from the previous video they don’t show the effects until it’s to late.
