BAD PEOPLE - RED Expansion Pack (100 NEW Question Cards) - The Game You Probably Shouldn't Play

Product Information

Rosenblum started working on Bad Summer People in the summer of 2021 when The White Lotushad first premiered and Succession’s third season was about to air. As she devoured both shows, she honed in on what she believed made them work: the total absence of moralization, particularly when it came to depicting their characters. Inhibitory control or self-control is largely a function of the frontal lobes of our brains (especially the prefrontal cortex). As the neuroscientist and biological anthropologist Robert Sapolsky pithily puts it: The frontal lobe helps us do the harder thing when it's the right thing to do. 15 Simply choosing not to do bad things can push you in the right direction. Committing to telling fewer lies, for example, is a significant step.

Bad People” is one of those rare books where no words are wasted and every moment is important. You will love how the author helps you visualize everything. There was so much detail in the forensic and police procedurals and horrifying descriptions of the killers actions. communities / neighborhoods lower in socio-economic status, disadvantaged, under-educated or under-employed. The detective Tom Nolan was a real human being insecure, craves validation from his boss and the poor guy not even described as good looking. Typically the Detective is handsome blue eyes and smart knows it all which is so boring because it’s predictable. Nolan is just an average smart guy that need help and that makes him so relatable.

On having a front-row seat to the drama:

Well, 2021 has started off with a bang for me after reading this incredibly terrifying and gritty thriller. Dr. Maury Joseph, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., points out the importance of considering the context of bad behavior. The character development in this story is well-done. I felt like I had a good sense of who the main players were (despite some surprises), and I got to know them without ever feeling like there was too much information. I grew attached to a couple of the characters and felt a lot of empathy for them. In my opinion, this is one of those books in which there are no wasted words. There were moments in which I actually felt frightened (which doesn’t happen to me often), and just some very cinematic and gruesome moments that I won’t ever forget. I’d like to keep this spoiler free, so I’ll limit myself to a few other thoughts.

I thought for the most part these characters were very solidly written. Nolan and Palmer were both interesting and believable, as was Gram. The antagonists were superbly scary. Wallwork also has a very readable style of writing, and knows how to effectively draw the reader in and weave a gripping plot-line. Wallwork tells the story in two narratives: Detective Nolan and the killer. The reader experiences chapters about the killer. Then the chapters shift to police procedurals and interviews. There were chapters devoted to Detective Nolan interviewing different people. The writing was done so well that it was easy to follow shifts in the storyline.

Over the past three years, the quiet Yorkshire village of Stormer Hill has lost three of its children. No bodies were ever discovered. No evidence found. No witnesses.

A man breaks into Jennifer Thompson’s apartment, severs her phone wires and rapes her. Jennifer studies his face, hoping to remember enough details so that she can identify him later. In his book The Goodness Paradox: The Strange Relationship Between Virtue and Violence in Human Evolution (New York: Pantheon, 2019), the primatologist Richard Wrangham, who has spent his career studying the ecology of primate social systems and the evolutionary history of human aggression, highlights the contrast between the relatively low levels of human aggression within-group (compared with other primates, humans are very tolerant and unreactive to provocation) versus the much higher levels of between-group human aggression. He concludes that reactive aggression (see definitions provided earlier in this article) has progressively diminished much more in humans compared with other primates, whereas proactive aggression (which is more often, though not exclusively, directed at members of another group) remains quite high in humans. (To be clear: while humans have far better control of reactive aggressive impulses compared with other primates, most individual acts of human violence are still reactive rather than proactive). Wrangham hypothesizes that the reduction of reactive aggression in humans was brought about by a process of self-domestication, analogous to the selective breeding of domesticated animals for traits of tameness (or analogous to the domesticated silver foxes experiment in Siberia). He cites bonobos as an example of self-domestication (through different means and driven by different factors, compared with humans). His hypothesis for humans is that self-domestication was achieved in large part by the acquisition of language and also by a process of what amounted to capital punishment: members of a hunter-gatherer group would conspire to kill an individual who was behaving too aggressively or tyrannically. While these would have been relatively uncommon occurrences, the cumulative effect over time would have been to remove the most aggressive men from the gene pool. Wrangham makes it clear that this theory is not an endorsement of capital punishment in modern society. The anthropologist Christopher Boehm also proposed this hypothesis in his book Moral Origins: The Evolution of Virtue, Altruism, and Shame (New York: Basic Books, 2012). I also feel the female characters were pretty underdeveloped, and often thoughts and feelings were almost projected onto them by the male leads. I do hope in future installments in this book series, any new or returning female characters will be a bit more fully formed and fleshed out as individuals themselves. Maybe you stole because you couldn’t pay for something you needed. Or you lied to protect a loved one’s feelings or keep them out of trouble. Sure, these probably aren’t the best moves. But if you have an underlying motive of protecting someone you care about, you’re acting to cause the least harm.Everyone is capable of change. If you’ve tried and failed to change, you might feel like there’s no point in trying again. It might seem easier to just stay as you are. The point of understanding Hitler’s deluded beliefs is not in any way to exonerate him and the Nazis—the fanatical and callous ruthlessness with which he and his inner circle implemented their murderous agenda constituted crimes against humanity of the highest degree, and probably required no small measure of psychopathic traits. The point here is to illustrate how deeply irrational was their obsession with the Jews—irrational to the point of diverting resources from their war effort to the program of systematic persecution and genocide. Morality is relative and depends largely on the context in which a person grows up and lives. People often feel “righteous anger” when their moral code is breached, for example, regarding individual rights. A person whose social and moral code champions the wellbeing of the community over the individual might feel differently.

I sprinkle of Karin Slaughter style of writing a dash of The Silence of the Lamb (the movie because I haven’t read the books yet) and a lot of it just the talented twisted of one of the GOOD PEOPLE Craig Wallwork. I am so exited to read the sequel Labyrinth Of The Dolls when it comes out September 15. I totally enjoyed the ride and here are some of the things I enjoyed THE DETECTIVE. Tom Nolan, a seasoned detective and loner involved in finding each missing child. Nolan is tasked with chaperoning Palmer and walking through each case. But as both men revisit the past, and dig deeper, neither are prepared for the chilling discovery to why the children were taken. I also like how specific and realistic all the police procedural and investigative terminology is. It’s thorough but interesting. Wallwork really seems to know his stuff (hopefully learned on the right side of the law...) Ellemers N, et al. (2019). The psychology of morality: A review and analysis of empirical studies published from 1940 through 2017.Baumeister p. 377. He adds: " The four root causes of evil must therefore be augmented by an understanding of the proximal cause, which is the breakdown of these inner restraints." Baumeister states elsewhere (in his 2012 book chapter referenced in footnote 1): There’s very little room for nuance of characterization [in most commercial fiction]. Either someone’s a bad guy or a good guy. But every person has traits that make them complicated. They can be generous and then also jealous,” she says. Or in the case of Bad Summer People: They can be kind but a cheat (Jen); a gossip who’s also a loyalist (Rachel); an ice queen and a loving mother (Lauren). “Particularly when you’re characterizing women, there’s that trap where you either make them a real villain or they have to be someone you totally root for. Nobody’s like that.”
