I hate it when people called them deviants. Deviants who don't follow and deviate from societal norms? We all do as we are taught. If your environment as a child was saturated with crime, what else can you expect from them as adults? All you can do is identify such environments and saturate with tender, loving care, instead.
This is what my future looks like if I do end up doing that criminology course I have been eying.
For 3WW : Deviate, Saturate, Idenitfy
This has roots in truth. But I think there's a fine line in saying environment is truly to blame, over socialization. It takes a village to raise good people.
ReplyDeleteyea...stark but truth...nice..so u a about to start with anthropology, all the best :)
ReplyDeleteThe important thing is to realize they have a problem and help. Understanding and excusing shouldn't be the same thing.
ReplyDeleteLove and tender care has such power. Your post leaves the reader with a lot to think about.
ReplyDeleteGood use of the words, in the rant. But what you may well find is that people actually do exactly the opposite to what they are taught - therefore saturating a neighbourhood with love will probably result in hate. Just a thought, but you got me thinking! Phew!!

ReplyDeleteSocialization? Environment? A dash of heredity? Mix and stir? Excellent food for thought here.
ReplyDeleteeverything has a reason...even the hideous crime has a back story...:)
ReplyDeleteJust hate the player, hate the game.
Thoughtful. Good luck with the course!
ReplyDeleteinteresting post and sometimes true, but I have seen over and over and over again, great kids coming from a home that couldn't grow a weed and then I have seen kids come from homes where they were loved and cared for and they couldn't make a right move to save their lives. I don't think the answers are ever as simple as we would like them to be.
ReplyDeleteAs someone said "Radicals of one century are generics of next one"....
ReplyDeleteThoughtful..

compassion is everything... especially when discouragement sets in with the weight of the unchangeable around us... repairable repartee
