Min Young Park 1. I am considering the subject "psychopath" which is one of the many topics I'm truly interested in. I am mostly interested in subjects that reveals the truth of our society, or something that can give us a shock. I am planning to write about variety of aspects of psychopaths. Some examples may be how the society nowadays face the problem of psychopaths, the difference between them and us(the common people), how they get along in communities, what are the common ways of differenciating them from us when they are actually 'blended' in our society, when it first became an issue... etc.

Minyoung Park Extended essay about Psychopaths

Title, Introduction and Scope: I narrowed down my topic to answering the question “How do psychopaths view the world?” Before starting my real research, I made an assumption. Even though I didn’t start researching, I knew slightly about my topic as I was very interested in, and that’s the reason why I chose this topic. In my opinion, based on my background knowledge, I think “Psychopaths have no true feelings; therefore will perceive our world as a world with toys. A lot of psychopaths feel satisfaction as they commit murders, and to them the world would seem like to be an earth full of targets. Just like how we treat toys and dolls, they treat people who mean they have no attachments to them (with some exceptions)”

Books: I was able to read, and still is in the process of reading the book called “ Psychopaths ” written by Robert D. Hare. It not only gives a lot of detailed and summarized information about psychopaths, but also gives some examples of some happenings as well. It is written in Korean, however deals with historians and psychopaths world widely.
