CONTENTS

Introduction

I decided to write this book after observing the behavior of people who make the same mistakes that unfortunately determine the outcome of their lives. There are some people who are born kind and caring while others are aggressive and manipulative. It is important to be aware of the hidden social dangers within our environment and the people we socialize with. Humans have the natural ability to constantly disguise themselves using social masks known as personas, displaying charm, a smile, and even laughter to deceive and harm others. This book is a journey through the mind of humans and the factors that influence the most evil and heinous of human behavior. I wanted to help make people more aware of the dangers that surround them and the social factors that can unconsciously manipulate their thoughts and behavior towards others.

This book will reveal the true aggressive and violent nature of humans and the madness that is unleashed towards unexpected victims. Emotions of jealousy, anger, frustration, and even the need to be loved by others, can cause people to do unimaginable things. As we explore and explain the madness of human behavior, we will also explore the darkest and most- evil of society. This may cause some to question how they perceive and understand themselves and others. Considering the type of information discussed in this book, I strongly advise children under the age of eighteen to obtain parental consent due to the level of maturity and understanding needed to appropriately interpret its content. Although this book does not focus on the biological makeup of humans, it is important to briefly mention the biological influences regarding Human behavior. This will help those who read this book gain a broader understanding of what motivates the decision making of people and the events described in this book.

Chapter 1

The Self

Similar too other living species and organisms, the human body has one primary critical function, to survive. This innate human need to survive motivates and influences the behavior of people, the interpretation of situations, events, and our perception of others and ourselves. Understanding the innate needs of our biological makeup is important in explaining how our emotional and biological needs motivate certain behaviors, which can reveal the true selfish and aggressive nature of humans. The term innate is defined as a characteristic existing in an organism from birth (American Psychological Association, n.d.-a). It is important that we attempt to dis-attach ourselves from our own knowledge and reasoning, which can unintentionally and unconsciously influence our understanding of our environment and ourselves. Instead, we will explore human behavior similar too other species, systematically, allowing us to gain a better understanding of what causes certain behaviors. In order to understand this argument, we will begin in the earliest stages of life where innate defense mechanisms are used to help in-sure the survival of children and throughout the life span of the person.

At the earliest stages of life people are introduced to their physical environment without the ability to speak. As a result, innate defense mechanisms are used at the earliest stages of life to help humans communicate and satisfy their biological and emotional needs, such as hunger or dis-comfort. These needs can also be described as shelter, food, and emotional attachment, which is critical to the survival of all human life. As children we cry when our emotions or physical needs are not met, letting others know that we feel discomfort, pain, or hunger. Although children at the earliest stages of life do not have the brain development to speak, they use non-verbal forms of communication to express their desired needs. Non-verbal forms of communication will remain the most used form of communication throughout the person’s life regardless of their ability to speak or education. Crying is the first form of communication used throughout our lives as a non-verbal way of communicating our anger, fear, sadness, love, loneliness, and happiness. We see this type of communication in adults, in which people cry regardless of their age when they feel sadness or experience other negative emotions.

These motivating biological and emotional factors describe the degree to which innate needs control our behavior, regardless of our age or gender. When adults cry many people will offer a hug or some type of support to the person as a way of making them feel better, an act that is taught to us through our caregivers and parents in the earliest stages of our life. As people mature through childhood into adulthood and learn different forms of communication their behavior and emotional expression can become more aggressive, physical, and in some cases violent. The emotional reactions that motivate the behavior of people can be influenced by social rejection, the achievements of others (envy and jealousy), loss of existing emotional or physical bonds (sadness and despair), as well as physical gratification (sexual behavior). The achievements of others that are defined by the person’s social environment as successful and admirable, can indirectly influence the arousal of negative and aversive emotions such as jealousy towards those who are more accomplished. Depending on the person’s social environment and the things that are admired, superficial and materialistic objects are used to satisfy the emotional needs of a person’s ego, self-esteem, and influence how they perceive themselves. When emotional needs regarding our desired social identity are not satisfied, they can influence negative emotions such as frustration and even anger. As a result, as people age they can become more aggressive and hostile as a means of obtaining their desired goals and needs. It is important that humans obtain an equal balance of good and bad in their lives, which allows them to remain optimistic during uncertain events or situations of disappointment. This sense of balance allows people to control the negative emotions they experience to a degree that it does not become harmful and physical towards themselves or others. All humans can become violent and demonstrate deviant and socially unacceptable behavior if certain emotional conditions and situations align together, while no external interference from others is present to mitigate the person’s emotions and thoughts.

As previously mentioned, our primary goal as humans is to ensure our physical survival. Humans obtain information by observing the outcomes and experiences of others within their social environment which allows them to adapt. This innate social process can also cause emotional conflict based on our need to obtain the things that we do not have and want. When social and superficial needs are emphasized by the person’s social environment, they can become internalized and influence the person’s emotions and decision making. This can also alter the person’s perception and behavior in a way that can become aggressive, manipulative, and even violent. This depends on the degree of emotion that is aroused from the person’s needs. One common factor that is relevant to this argument is the innate emotional reactions we experience as humans. Our emotions are critical to our survival, considering negative physiological events can occur when our emotional needs are not satisfied. The strong association between the physical and emotional components of human existence is important to be aware of because of the interdependence that allows them to operate as a single function, influencing the way we think and act. Recognizing that our emotions tend to align with our behavior, so does the alignment of our emotions and decision making.

An example of this process can be observed involving those who experience emotions involving depression, anxiety, or fear. When negative emotions such as these occur, it is common to feel fatigue, muscle aches, and even experience physical illnesses such as headaches or chest pains. Negative emotions such as stress or depression can contribute to a low immune system, organ complications, and even death. The interdependence between the emotional and physical realms of human existence can motivate behavior and cause people to act in ways that are thoughtful, caring, deviant, evil, or even heinous. People my argue how humans can be selfish by nature when they take care of others, such as their children, husbands, wives, and friends. The act of caring for others, which may appear to be about the well-being of others, is in all actuality about the self and the needs of the person. We protect and care for those we are emotionally bonded to because
