People are fascinated with the human mind and what makes them tick. From violence to mental illnesses, media is a catalyst in promoting people to search out the reasons behind such absurd behaviors. We, as a society, are to blame as well as we often times promote such activities. We favor books, news headlines, movies and shows depicting the flaws and animalistic ways that we humans revert to when we feel threatened or provoked.
