Depressing Studies

237 Words1 Page

In my opinion, conducting studies on many different people can definitely be challenging, because there are several types of behaviors to look into. For example, people that have been victims of a crime, court and law enforcement professionals, and members of the general public should not be hard to interact with, because there is nothing to feel irritated for. On the other hand, conducting studies on people that have been immoral (criminals) to society can be depressing. I can understand that even though it might be hard to study them it is still necessary, so we can learn how and why they behave in that certain way and that will help us come up with solutions to control certain crimes. The type of depressing studies I was referring to

Usually always negative, temptations arise from the lesser qualities of man and expose an individual to develop even more nefarious ambitions. In severe cases, the temptation transforms into a desire, in which the individual experiences a lack of control accompanied with self-infliction and remorse. The story of one man’s dark desires is examined in Robert Louis Stevenson’s book, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Appropriately termed, Stevenson peruses the eerie case of a respected doctor who becomes associated with Mr. Hyde, who is essentially Dr. Jekyll’s counterpart.
