well, give the impression of being alert and clear-headed, know how to employ their skills to manipulate other people, and how to ingratiate themselves by
entertaining people with exciting accounts of their exploits. There are three main indicators of sociopath, they are, cruelty toward the animals, fire setting, and
longer than normal bedwetting. Dr. Robert D. Hare who has made extensive studies of people with
psychopathic personalities told that the sociopaths are lying all the time and they do not see this behavior as a wrong. Their quest is only to serve themselves, and if
need to lying, cheating, or even murder, they will do so. The sociopaths are brilliant to changing the subject when people catch them in lies, placing the onus
on the people, and denying their involvement or even trying to make people seem crazy. They may seem laugh or cry but they present with no depth of emotions.
The sociopaths are more spontaneously and disorganized act out in doing the crimes. So that, they are easier to catch but they are more apt to leave the ample
evidence in their explosions of violence. There are four subtypes of sociopaths:
a. Common sociopath
The common sociopaths are more likely the feral sociopath that grown up, taking pleasure, and gratifying impulse at each opportunity or temptation. They
especially enjoy and feel pride in breaking the rules. As teenagers, they often runaways from home. While as adult, they often living in the shelters,
geographically mobile, and taking the advantage of welfare systems.
b. Alienated sociopath
An alienated sociopath never developed the ability to empathize, love, chronic complainer, and affiliate in real life with another person. They also live in
a shell and callous attitude toward the human suffering or social problems. They may hate animals and leave out their emotional life by watching television.
c. Aggressive sociopath
An aggressive sociopath is really like to hurt, frighten, tyrannize, bully, and even manipulate others. They do any hurt just for a sense of power and
control, or often only drop the subtle hints about what they are up to. They polish their aggression and domineering manner to disguise any intimidation at others
that feel. They also like to hunt or do the sadistic things like find a stray dog and cut it up. This subtype does not follow the social norms of reciprocities like
people do.
d. Dissocial sociopath
Dissocial sociopath identifies and holds an allegiance with a dissocial, outcast, and predatory subculture. They are capable of intense loyalty, a feeling of
guilt and shame, within such limited circles. They seem to continually fall upon the bad luck and bad companions, however. While they will constantly complain
that none of this is their fault, behind it all is a kind of self-defeating mechanism in the poor choices they made themselves.
In Ephraim Rosen’s book, abnormal psychology second edition explained that the causes of sociopath are the genetic factor and environment. A child that
lives in a family that one of his or her parents has a tendency of mental illness is easier to get this disorder. But a sociopath can be also born into a normal and
loving family. They are also the products of parental neglect, fatherless homes, and illegitimacy. The father absence produces many consequences to the
symptoms of sociopath. However, a large number of delinquents and sociopaths do not come from institutions or broken homes but from homes that are physically
intact but emotionally disturbed

. At a deeper level, overindulgence may be a manifestation by a parent who does not care enough to control the child, or a
reaction formation to ward off the guilt that would be aroused by conscious recognition of hostility and feelings of rejection toward the child
