‘anti-hero’ in the book talks about betrayal as the utmost form of ‘devotion’; believes that only those men doomed to evil possess the manly virtues and feels that the forbidden universe of a criminal offers solace to him.

In this scenario, I am putting it forward that before individuals’ behaviors get altered by the physical conditions, their minds are already occupied by a working memory and intelligence. Gladwell is in favor of this argument when she affirms that behaviors are acquired from the mental modeling and the psychological conditions that begins happening when a person is brought to…

One’s mind must be regularly engaged and strengthened, otherwise it will atrophy and dissolve like sand through a sieve. The term mind encompasses everything from measureable qualities such as intelligence, literacy, memory, and inquiry, as well as more abstract aspects such as one’s sense of self.

Sitting in a cold drafty waiting area, dressed in a suit sitting still and proper, I was waitng for my moment, THE moment I have longed for. So much ran through my head.

Younger defendants fail to meet the standard of competence due to normal developmental immaturity or the failure to have developed cognitive skills equivalent to adults. The pre-frontal cortex which is associated with impulse control, planning, and decision-making, is one of the last areas of the brain to mature. States should re-examine the age at which juveniles can be transferred to the adult court system and require a competence evaluation to be performed before transfer. Clinicians who…
