The TED theme that I focused on was "How the Mind Works". The specific topic that I have narrowed down to is the mind of a killer. I am interested in this topic because since I want to major in sociology in crime/forensics, I am very much interested in what actually makes one become a killer. Gaining very great knowledge on this topic will not only help me become a homicide detective but will also be very interesting to me.
Some investigative questions that I have accumulated after watching a few TED talks from the "How the Mind Works" theme are...
Does a killer's mind have to actually have something "wrong" with it for them to become killers in the first place?
Does having all of the same qualities (referring to the brain) of a killer, are you for sure going to become a killer? Or is there some choice towards it?
Are there any ways that someone with the same qualities of a killer can prevent becoming one at a young age?
What are some of the reasons that people kill?
Are there reasons that some killers only kill once and other killers kill numerous times?
