Introduction: One of the most effective ways that we learn is through open dialog. This discussion board is meant for you to openly interact with each other guided by a specified topic. Discussion participation is key to expanding your knowledge.
Discussion Board Topic:
If you do something wrong and you feel guilty, take a sign of relief. The feeling of guilt is a quality attributed to someone who scores low on a psychopathy scale. However, the human feeling of guilt is often followed by the human quality of neutralization. Please respond to the following prompts:
1. Explain Sykes and Matza's techniques of neutralization theory.
2. This theory was designed, and is typically applied, for juveniles. However, it is fair to say that adults neutralize actions within their lives too. What is something that you neutralize in your life? Are you able to reflect on your own neutralization and empathize other people you know? Why, or why not?
