Deviant Society Behavior
The world of humans is oftentimes unpredictable, changing and wondrously exciting. However, when these attributes become extremely bizarre and painfully detri psychical, humans become sick and worried ab emerge to what extent can other humans afford to inflict harm against them. self-destruction bombing is, if not the most, one of the most grue both(prenominal) incites anybody can commit. It is outright crazy and stupid. One must be beside the normal to be entertaining such(prenominal) a thought in point.Ironically, fanatics who have committed and attempted felo-de-se bombings in the past, were deemed normal until the day when the execution of their ultimate plans were made public whether foil or completed. People who are afflicted with mental disorder may, as other people, travel for the same reasons vacation, visiting friends or relatives, business, recreation, and virtuallytimes for religious or spiritual focus (Miller & Zarcone, 1968). Others indeed may travel for reasons other than the normal for reasons triggered by malformed mental state such as the men who carried out the 911 attack of the Twin Towers in New York.Along the 911 attack, suicide bombing through aircraft came to prominence resulting in the stirring of the awareness among the international public of the fact that the mend traveler cogency not be that regular any management. It is probable that more or less of them are driven by excessive anger or motivated by utopic hope as taught in the communities wherein they have pledged their keep allegiance (Silke, 2003). In a recent turn of events in Pakistan, upon the return of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto to her home country, 124 were killed and 320 plus got injured as a result of another suicide bombing.The bomber threw grenades among crowds of people and afterwards blasted himself to terminal (CNN update, Oct. 18, 2007). Its difficult to think of sensible reasons why a sane individual (if that individual was ever c onsidered sane by his colleagues) has committed such an act in the first place. To spend and expend ones self for a noble cause is commendable only if they benefit people outback(a) ones own community. Its never an ideal to advance a religions cause at the expense of the lives of other people. A suicide bomber is demented in that even in the logic of religion, all religions presupposed a benevolent god who is some(prenominal) powerful and loving.There must be distortions somewhere within the suicide bombers mind to have associated the act of delivering a bomb and acts of piety. Understanding mental health Factors that contribute to a Suicide Bombers Behavior The majority of theories and models of human appearance fall into one of two basic categories internal perspective and external perspective. The internal perspective considers the factors inside the person to understand behavior. People who subscribe to this view understand behavior as psychodynamically oriented. Behavior is explained in terms of the thoughts, feelings, past experiences and needs of the individual.The internal processes of thinking, feeling, perceiving and judge lead people to act in specific ways. This internal perspective implies that people are best understood from the inside and that peoples behavior is best interpreted after understanding their thoughts and feelings (Jourad, 1963). The other category of theories takes an external perspective. This focuses on factors outside the person to understand behavior. External events, consequences of behavior, environmental forces to which a person is subject, are emphasized by this external perspective.A persons history, value system, feelings and thoughts are not very important in interpreting actions and behavior. Kurt Lewin for instance considered both perspectives in saying that behavior is a function of both the person and the environment (Tiffin,& McCormick, 1958). Man is a tender cosmos and as such his disposition is viewed from the society and culture where he belongs. A society represents a geographical aggregate and has boundaries, similar government or a group of persons in substantive interaction and engaged in brotherly relationship.Personality is the individualizing traits of man which constitute his singularity and differentiate him from any other human being. The three determinants of personality 1 biological inheritance which has direct influence on the inducement of personality. This includes musculature, the nervous system, and the glands 2 E. Q. factor describes qualities like understanding ones feelings, empathy for the feelings of others, and the regulation of emotion in a way that enhances support (Gibbs, 1995) 3 environmental factors.Taking everything normal, environment plays an important persona in personality development. Environmental factors are cultural environment, social environment, home and family, culture, status and role and social agent. Many of mens pronounced stirred-up state of mind such as fear, anger, disgust, and contempt, have posed the foreland, why? What has caused such a reaction? What has brought a change to his/her behavior? What is the frustration that has brought about such behavior? In the world of a suicide bomber, he/she contemplates on various input or stimuli from the world he/she evolves in.There are frustrations of every form and even without these, his/her psyche or mental state functions on the basis of anything he/she receives (actively or passively) from the milieu. supports problems are numerous and as long as one is alive and kicking he will always be faced with problems, be they big or small. Such problems stir-up ones emotions or feelings which maybe pleasant or unpleasant. Physiological problems, environmental problems, personal deficiencies and psychological concerns bring on a variety of responses some predictable, others are not.Disorganization of family life, disintegration of personality brought about by depressio n, great personal suffering, any of these may take any person beyond the limits of his tolerance. Man is born in a social environment surrounded by cultural norms and values. He is faced with cultural taboos and acceptable social behavior. Numerous environmental factors come to the fore which may or may not be easily overcome. One of the most difficult problems in this domain of a function is ones cultural dos and dont s. Environmental frustrations cannot be avoided, for there are always certain factors in a persons maturement and achievement.Psychological or internal problems are the most difficult to descend as they are within the inner feelings of a person. One may not be able to detect his/her concerns/anxieties through his /her overt behavior. It may only be inferred from what his/her inner thoughts and feelings are but will not know what caused such a feeling. Psychological concerns of various forms represent a more serious threat to the personality of the individual than d o environmental pressures. If severe enough, they may create goodly emotional tension with accompanying behavior disorders.Reacting to pressures and other concerns such as frustration varies from person to person because of their personality differences. These reactions maybe defensive, neurotic or psychotic. well-nigh people are sympathetic to people who develop physical ailments, but regard an individual with mental disorder as crazy. At this juncture, does a suicide bomber then be considered a person with a mental disorder or deemed as crazy? definitions of mental health vary considerably. Freud when asked what he thought a normal, healthy person should do well replied love and work. Karl Menningers (1956) definition is quite similar to Freuds. He states Let us unsex mental health as the ad simplyment of human beings to the world and each other with a maximum of effectiveness and happiness. Not just efficiency, or just contentment, or the grace of obeying the rules of the ga me cheerfully. It is all together. It is the ability to maintain an even temper and happy disposition. This, I think, is a healthy mind. When we therefore, try to define mental health, we have in mind the adjustment process which an individual brings into force when he is faced with a problem situation.Adjustment is defined as an individuals manner of reacting or responding adequately to a perceived problem. From the standpoint of mental health, adjustment refers to a happy and socially acceptable response to lifes situations. Mental health therefore, is the ability of the individual to function effectively and happily as a person in ones expected role in a group and in the society in general. It is a condition of the whole personality and is not merely a condition of the mind as is often supposed.It is an out-growth of ones total life and is promoted or hindered by day-to-day experience, not only by major crises as some assume (McCllelland et al, 1973). Mental health is the capaci ty to live harmoniously in a changing environment to face and solve ones problems in a realistic manner to accept the inevitable, and to understand and accept ones own shortcomings as well as the shortcomings of others. In this sense, people who develop and encourage Jihad or any terroristic ideas and brainwash others to do the same, are seen people who do have unrealistic way of looking at life and their experiences.They are commonly classified as people having delusions of grandeur among others. This term refers to people who experience a bloated sense of importance or missions and oftentimes associated with jibe persecution complexes (Jourad, 1963). They therefore harbor also a sense of anxiety that some people are out there to cut off their goals and obstruct their missions. Their resolve to deliver their target aims is even stronger the reason for their methodical and systematic way of doing things.Since they cannot accept that they must co-exist with people whose beliefs radi cally differ from theirs, they accept the notion that disintegration is a solution and dying a martyrs death to ensure this goal is the ultimate sacrifice. This kind of mindset comes only from a grade of thinking that has been exposed only to a few options in fact, only very narrow options. That option is the radical Islamic alternative and nothing else. When living in this world, co-existence is not just something that is talked about inside the halls of the academe co-existence signifies a mindset that is healthy as well and free from disorders.Mental health is a progeny of degree. There is no hard and fast line that separates health from illness. It is not a simple matter to divide the population into two distinct groups-those who should be institutionalized and those who should not be. Many of us at one time or another exhibit traits and pattern of behavior which if, accentuated and continuous, would necessitate psychiatric hold back out (Jourad, 1963). Though radical a thou ght this may seem, and naturally sounds unrealistic, the ideal place is to set monitoring and evaluation of mental hygiene at some point in time. How to do this is going to be a big issue, expectedly.However, terrorism and the likes of suicide bombing can probably be controlled in some ironic way by referring to them as idiosyncratic, delusional or even possessing mental disorders. Another way of classifying them is through the Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV (DSM) classification system these people are versions of psychopaths or psychotics because the symptoms are there and they cannot function normally among any general population. Conclusions The difficult but frequently asked question is that Will suicide bombers be able to wreak havoc again as they did in 911 in New York? The possibilities are largely and unsurprisingly high that it might happen again. People are people as indicated in the opening statement, we are unpredictable, inundated with problems and those extremists ha ve come to the point in their lives that their choices of so-called martyrdom that they do for religion and their god is close to pleasurable, fulfilling and the dream of their lifetimes. What can probably compel them against that? What can possibly move them away from doing what seemed to be heroic acts?What is being done in the United States today like tightening security and vigilance that other countries had been doing (e. g. , Israel) and for which others are also implementing (i. e. , United Kingdom/England), is by outlying(prenominal) the best that they can do. But that is as far as any human or groups of individuals are also capable of doing. The bottom line is that when a certain person intends to kill or murder, it is just time that they are running against with. Somewhere, some how, some people will be able to make themselves explode and duplicate 911.
