In recent years hlg has tried t ulift th humn irit with lt of ulr hlg terms uh , "Positive Phlg" or th numerous books released to tell th masses hw t bhv t lead a fulfilled successful lif frm tlking about parachutes, tn steps to mthing, th mird f "hw t" titles nd muh mr. Most r nthing but miguidd pop h r a fad of the mmnt. Cn lif be easy as reading th right bk nd fllwing some bi concepts nd everything is ging t b OK fr u nd me? Thi r i diffrnt, w hll xlr th "Dark" id of th humn mind - that rt tht sees dinggmnt, destruction, vil acts part f th vrd humn h that emerges in u ll frm tim t time - that part that find xitmnt, glee nd lur in th dysfunctional part of ur existence. Hw can it rnil with it drk side? I u the word inn to refer to th in society wh the social nrm.

Dark Psychology i bth th tud f criminal & dvint bhvir nd a ntul frmwrk for deciphering th potential fr vil within ll humn bing. Drk Phlg is th tud f th human nditin as it rlt to th psychological ntur f people t r upon other l motivated b criminal and/or dvint driv that lk ur nd gnrl assumptions f intintul driv and il sciences thr. All of humnit h thi tntil to vitimiz thr humn nd living creatures. Whil mn rtrin or ublimt thi tndn, m t upon th imul. Drk Psychology k t understand th thught, fling, rtin nd subjective processing tm that ld to predatory bhvir that i ntithtil t ntmrr undrtnding of humn bhvir. Dark Psychology assumes that riminl, dvint nd abusive behaviors are uriv nd have some rtinl, gl-rintd motivation99% f th tim. It is th rmining1%, Drk Phlg rt from Adlrin theory nd the Teleological Approach. Drk Psychology postulates thr i a rgin within th human h that nbl m l t mmit triu t without ur. In this thr, it h bn ind the Dark Singulrit.

First, lt' xmin how we can identify the "Drk Sid" f hlgil thught nd behavior. W need a mur, t knw, what i normal and wht i nidrd bnrml behavior. Our first mur i social norms; thi mn in n society f wht i nidrd nrml everyday bhvir givn a set f circumstances tht nfrnt ur rtin. Fr example in Western ultur t trik nthr rn violently i nidrd a riminl t and one tht i ruliv t a ful society. Hwvr, w ndn viln when th person i givn itl permissions uh as a ldir in th t f wr, a limn in th act of apprehension of a dngru riminl, a itizn defending hi family frm a serious thrt from nthr rn. Th dubl tndrd n b miintrrtd in many w. The soldier wh mmit wr crimes such gnid, the limn who u viln to intimidt a witness while interviewing thm or th itizn wh vilt nthr persons right in rdr to furthr their own position in m w.

The second mur i a mrl n? How do w a it decide wht is right and wrng, wh h the power t did th right, d lw follow moral nvitin r do th become rttin f the weak gint the trng or the rih gint th r? Most iti agree tht killing nthr humn bing i gint a mrl code - it is simply wrng t kill nd huld be punished b n t f equal vrit, b th it tht urt th mrl-lgl tn imd n th m b it lawmakers. T mt societies, this h bn a religious d f ndut uh th 10 commandments f the Chritin fith and thr uh d from Buddhism t th Mulim Krn. Fith in divin rwrd nd unihmnt r rfltd in th lgl lngug nd lw seen the bedrock of n civilized nation f l. Having td th rul wh thn do l rdil dvit frm th mrl, lw nd religious guidelines tht llw u ll to liv in a ful society gvrnd b grd principals f behaviors tht rtt the individul frm dngr, hurt nd abuse?

Th third r f bhvir i that nt t dwn in lw r religious nt but th vrd sets of behavior th Englih would rfr t as, "manners" r being "lit". Th ndut r way f ting tht nfrm t bhvir accepted as that of a superior mmbr of a it who knw how t conduct thmlv in the mn of others t a t f tndrd tht are seen as the mark f n advanced iviliztin. These n mtim be n in th tiqutt of tbl mnnr r a man opening a door fr a wmn and llwing hr t pass first, the recognition f man's dut to protect nd dfnd wmn. Td in some cultures wmn' right have t doubt f mnnr twrd wmn xit nd thrfr dmning t a wmn' independence. Never-the-less mnnr r seen as th mark f bing wll-brd nd in th ur hln f a society whthr they r trditinl Englihn or a Jn t rmn.

Hving set ut iti diffring w f muring bhvir ithr through, law, morals or il tbl norms humans still manage a wid range of dysfunctional behavior tht often imt on and influences others to th int whr th rtrtr f thi behavior thmlv utid th lw, moral codes nd etiquette f th rt of society. Smtim thrugh the feeling of guilt, w ll rgniz whn we have trngrd th rul tht w see ntil t a well-ordered iviliztin. Hwvr, thr r th other people wh feel nothing whn faced with dealing out viln, destruction, nd death gint thr mrl their right t live withut th rules nd th freedom t liv a lif that i determined b nthing more than wht th wish t own, r dtr.

The Drk-Sid:

Wht th mn wh kik th dg, when he i frutrtd b society tht n his xitn? Wht fling d he rl at tht mmnt whn th dog rh and howls in in and fright? Wh does he smile and wish furthr harm to th dg and enjoy th ight of n niml in in? On-lkr feel utrgd b his bhvir nd sympathy for th dfnl dog fr whih thi man h sought t treat rull and withut remorse. Wh i thi mn? Wh h i all of us frm tim to time. W ll l our n f psychological lm nd rtinl thoughts w grl with life's unfirn r lack f rtunit. On the thr hand - wait - for this man i wealthy, has all hi nd fulfilled, t till fl grt dlight in kiking and wthing th dg uffr t hi hnd. A sense f wr t hi bilit t inflict in nd th pleasure t feeling urir t other lr humans whm h sees as inbl of tking wht they want and nd u his ml and servants. Thi urir positional thinking ld to a lk f mth or mth fr thr as only fl wh t th dminn f his kind as leaders nd law-makers.

The bv xml i t giv n insight int a bhvir tht breaks ur thr measures f il nrm, lw (hurting a dfnl niml) moral (the tb n nl behavior n wrngding) ill tbl bhvir, (whil vrn might l their temper nd kik thir dog, most will fl ng f guilt nd remorse). Here however w mt people who feel no guilt, n rmr nd themselves exempt frm lw th do not agree with. In Englnd, fx-hunting w a rul sport mtl rrid out b intllignt, rfinl, wealthy men and women? Yt th same l limd a right t hunt nd destroy a dfnl niml for nothing more thn a gd time ing thir hounds rip apart and dvur a fox. Even though th mjrit f English l vtd n numru in t ban thi sport it tk vrl r f campaigning t gt thi put int lw. Now fx-hunting i an illegal activity hwvr th same l ntinu t flut th law nd hunt undr ll by-laws that have yet t th u with national lwmking. Th l know wht th r doing i illgl, immrl and gint social norms dfind by majority inin. Yt th claim th are urir parts of society and thrfr above the day t d mrl concerns of the rdinr m. Th urriing thing is in Englnd th l r members f rlimnt, police, judg nd thr wh ntrl t f society in Englnd uh as estate wnr (lnd givn ftn by Rl consent in th past by rbbing the rightful lnd f th r). In thr wrd, the very l wh should t an xml t society are th same n flunting th lw nd ill acceptable behavior.
