...Dyan Vaile Kellie Cannon ENG-112-06W June 3, 2015 A Sadistic Pleasure “The Tattooer” Junichiro Tanizaki The Story of “The Tattooer” by Junichiro Tanizaki is a colorful story enriched with non-sexual sadistic pleasure and is brought to life with his choice of words and the story line makes it not only sadistic but also extremely erotic and somewhat of a love story by the way he portrays pleasure in the form of sadism. This is all done through emotional and internal sensual gratification instead of sexual. It is about passion, desire, control, and power all found within one’s self. This story takes place in Japan in a time where wealthy men would go to extensive lengths to impress and attract the young women such as geishas. It was a time where young delicate women could control any willing man by simply letting him indulge in her beauty. Men would decorate their bodies with ink to show their masculinity to these young women in hopes they would be so inclined to have the woman give them a glimpse of her sweet tenderness. There was an exquisite tattooer in the village named Seikichi. Seikichi was a unique painter and tattooer. However, Seikichi did not accept just anyone seeking a tattoo, nor did he accept payment, for Seikichi’s payment was giving the tattoo itself. Seikichi deems to be a form of a sadist. His pleasure came from the pain the people on the other end of the needle endured. The author declares “His pleasure lay in the agony men felt as...

A personality disorder evaluation Behavioral Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression, 1 (3), 195-202 DOI: 10.1080/19434470903017664 Retrieved from http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19434470903017664 Abstract. A psychological profile was developed on North Korean leader Kim Jong-il based on a South Korean psychiatrist’s evaluation of 14 personality disorders in DSMIV-TR and of schizophrenic and psychotic symptoms. The psychiatrist, considered an expert on Kim Jong-il’s behavior, completed the informant version of the standardized, DSM-IV-TR aligned, 225-item Coolidge Axis II Inventory (CATI). The resulting profile was compared with a consensus profile based on five academicians whose expertise was Adolf Hitler, and a consensus profile of 11 informants, all former Iraqi nationals all of whom had an intimate knowledge of Saddam Hussein. The rank-order correlation between Kim Jong-il and Hitler and between Kim Jong-il and Hussein was identical r = 0.76, p < 0.002. For the personality disorders, it appeared that a ‘big six’ emerged: sadistic, paranoid, antisocial, narcissistic, schizoid and schizotypal. All three dictators also showed evidence of psychotic thought processes. The implications of these findings for negotiations are discussed. Mindset of Dictators The Founding Fathers of the United States wrote the Constitution 225 years ago with the greatest...

It takes lots of courage and fear on taking the challenge—It takes death or life in some way a kid could do that the imagery in Joseph Ruben’s movie “The Good Son” shows us the controversial thriller a movie it is. You would clearly see the fathom henry is, he’s clever, smart enough to do such things, psychotic, and a foul speaker Henry Evans’ starting description of their family was very unified and happy until further was very remorse, ugly, foul, and wearisome.

...Behind the Mask of a Serial Killer ENG/147 AAIA1EJ2I4 December 1, 2014 Kevin Phillips Behind the Mask of a Serial Killer Throughout hundreds of years, serial killers have reigned terror on many people. Some of the most notorious serial killers include Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ted Bundy. Many people have pondered and wondered what motivated serial killers to kill multiple people. Many psychologists believe that most serial killers’ problems are more of a form of mental disorder, as other people believe that the problems stemmed from their environment. While there is no definitive test for serial killers, there are some important characteristics that can help law enforcement profile and catch these serial killers. Early Signs Law enforcement should examine the early childhood of possible serial killers by observing children with troubled fantasies. According to Feud he wrote, “The grandiose infantile narcissistic ego is characterized by states of magical or omnipotent thinking (Freud 1914)”. This means the fantasies are an illusion and it becomes powerful enough to fulfill these fantasies that are thriving in the mind. Therefore by monitoring early children’s fantasies then, they could be treated to dissolve and maintain these early warning signs of potentially becoming a serial killer in the future. Psychological abuse has also played a major role into the background of a serial killer. Seventy-two percent...
