Synopsis

'Given a Reason to Kill' presents you with a plausible template for understanding the internal and external forces which exhort people to exhibit behaviours considered 'Pure Evil'. These morally reprehensible acts can be justified as rational. William Jones BSc(Hons) MA demonstrates just how difficult it is to argue against the proposal that most of us can be compelled to kill. The motivation to kill can arise from psychotic tendencies, peril and personal survival, or as a consequence of external forces which objectify the 'Other' as less than Human.What are the roles of Free Will and Choice in all of this? What are the psychological implications for the mental health of the individual, community and nation?That which concerns the author is the apparent ease with which we can sink into violence and killing when certain predictable circumstances stack up. After all, Humans are not Rational Beings, but rather Beings who Rationalise. Therein resides our downfall.
