Sociopaths Vs Physical Activities: What Will Survive?

Abstract

Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits. Different conceptions of psychopathy have been used throughout history that are only partly overlapping and may sometimes be contradictory.Hervey M. Cleckley, an American psychiatrist, influenced the initial diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality reaction/disturbance in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), as did American psychologist George E. Partridge. The DSM and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) subsequently introduced the diagnoses of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and dissocial personality disorder (DPD) respectively, stating that these diagnoses have been referred to (or include what is referred to) as psychopathy or sociopathy. The creation of ASPD and DPD was driven by the fact that many of the classic traits of psychopathy were impossible to measure objectively. Canadian psychologist Robert D. Hare later repopularized the construct of psychopathy in criminology with his Psychopathy Checklist.Although no psychiatric or psychological organization has sanctioned a diagnosis titled "psychopathy", assessments of psychopathic characteristics are widely used in criminal justice settings in some nations and may have important consequences for individuals. The study of psychopathy is an active field of research. The term is also used by the general public, popular press, and in fictional portrayals. While the term is often employed in common usage along with "crazy", "insane", and "mentally ill", there is a categorical difference between psychosis and psychopathy.Physical may refer to: Physical examination, a regular overall check-up with a doctor Physical (Olivia Newton-John album), 1981 "Physical" (Olivia Newton-John song) Physical (Gabe Gurnsey album) "Physical" (Alcazar song) (2004) "Physical" (Enrique Iglesias song) (2014) "Physical" (Dua Lipa song) (2020) "Physical (You're So)", a 1980 song by Adam & the Ants, the B side to "Dog Eat Dog" Physical (TV series), an American television seriesActivity may refer to: Action (philosophy), in general Human activity: human behavior, in sociology behavior may refer to all basic human actions, economics may study human economic activities and along with cybernetics and psychology may study their modulation Recreation, or activities of leisure The Aristotelian concept of energeia, Latinized as actus Activity (UML), a major task in Unified Modeling Language Activity, the rate of catalytic activity, such as enzyme activity (enzyme assay), in physical chemistry and enzymology Thermodynamic activity, the effective concentration of a solute for the purposes of mass action Activity (project management) Activity, the number of radioactive decays per second Activity (software engineering) Activity (soil mechanics) HMS Activity (D94), an aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy "Activity", a song by Way Out West from Intensify Cultural activities, activities referred to culture.Survival, or the act of surviving, is the propensity of something to continue existing, particularly when this is done despite conditions that might kill or destroy it. The concept can be applied to humans and other living things (or, hypothetically, any sentient being), to physical object, and to abstract things such as beliefs or ideas. Living things generally have a self-preservation instinct to survive, while objects intended for use in harsh conditions are designed for survivability. Survival tools can be anything from water filter bottles to tactical self-defence pens and even a smartphone can act as a survival tool.
