Blogpost 3: Understanding Kleptomaniac

Every day in our lives we experience different problems in our family,in our friends,girlfriends or in our assignments in school that we did not finish at home because we didn't listen to our professors. Other students, like me have also a problem usually in English.Others are trying to fight their problems but others are not, they want to live where they think they are comfortable.There is a TV show that I watch and there's a girl auditioning.The judges ask her do you have a band then she answer "yes mam" and the judge miss Aiai Delas alas said ,why are you here instead of singing with your band .Then the lady answered it, "I want to go out in my comfortable spot to prove myself  that I 'am strong not the fact that I don't need them but the reason to achieve my dreams to be a great singer in our industry.On her inspirational speech even the people on that place are crying,When I heard that I realize that my parents are not always there to guide me when I'm wrong,I should be strong and be independent.I learn lots of things when I get here in Manila,I learn to wash my clothes,my socks and even to arrange my things that I do not usually do when I'm in our house in Quezon.Those things help me not only in physical but also in my moral attitude, I became responsible for all the things that I did.For all the problems there is a solution the only question is how far you can handle it.Since every problems have roots and we have a different

There is an article that I want to share with you guys,this article entitled “Is Linsay Lohan a Klepto?”,by C.J. Arabia, from the site of smosh.com. Linsay Lohan is a well known model and actress in the L.A.,but in this controversies that she stall many stuff in different persons. In fact she stall a Rolex watch from her friend despite of her fame and being rich many people are asking, why is she stealing object from other? May be the great thing to do for her stealing is to go into jail. Some people suggest that if Linsay go into jail there is a possibility that she may stole items from the prisoner.In contrast of the comment of the fans of Linsay ,they said that this was only a jealous to Linsay famous career.But there are some prove that Linsay stole stuff  like a necklace from the Venice, Calif., jewelry store that she caught wearing in her photograph. In also a fellow model Lauren Hastings are also a victim of Linsay stealing.Many witness said that Linsay saw in Lauren’s room after she lost her clothes worth $10,000.Not only that he also stole a coat from the Chelsea,nightclub. Linsay steal not only items but also a money.In her many experience in stealing she finally send to jail because of stealing a fancy designer gold necklace from Venice, Ca. jewelry store Kamofie & Company and officially charge as a theft.According to Dr.Craig Freudenrich that “kleptomania occurs more on women than a men because when women who steal they tend to get psychiatric evaluations,while men send directly to prison”.For a reason Dr. Freudenrich is correct because of what Linsay Lohan story and also because in our community today the women are more protected rather than a man,like when a girl slap guy in the face people think that the guy do some that’s why he slap in the face,while when a guy do the same thing to her people think that he is harassing her.Definitely it was a gender bias but we don’t have nothing to do with this because it is our culture of our society today.



For another article guys I want you to look at it,the article entitled “DerrenBrown: 'Most magicians are kleptomaniacs’”.  By Sarah Rainey,from the site of telegraph.co.uk. This article is about Derren Brown a great magicians and a illusionist. He is very famous because of the very amazing stunt that he do make his audience impress.Being his very famous name today is the opposite of it when he is a kid.He is a “nerdy” and “uncool”.He said he use his magic “to counter his shyness in school” .And for being a uncool and nerdy person in school he develop duplicity came from being a bit loner.Duplicity define as” the ability to trick people” this thing helps him to impress people to become people and not nerd.Today he is a magicians who’s very famous that is banned in every casino in land because of the reason that he might read the card.Derren said that “it is quite common to a magicians to be tempted in that kind of thing”. In magicians it is very easy to steal items because of their ability to trick people.Their illusion makes the people think that nothing’s happened or making them give whatever the magicians wants.Derren doubted his religion as Christian because of being a homosexual.According to Bridget Webber that “kleptomania has been a mental disorder or a form of anti social behavior”. This explains why Derren Brown goes to the path of the magicians of his being discriminated and in fact it also affect his being a straight guy that he became homosexual.For me Bridget is correct because of what had happened to Derren,he is very famous but he himself cannot say that he is happy because actually he want to be a teacher .In his condition  his decision making decreased that’s why he chose the wrong path.Kleptomania is not only a psychological disorder but also a mental illness that according to science that  “when the the decrease in the fine structure of white matter (axons and dendrites) in the frontal lobe that affects the decision making of a person or individual” .Which means in every person who’s diagnose with this kind of illness are poor inn decision making.But what if they use it as an excuse to their crime is it really an excuse ?.The thing is this cannot be an excuse because what if the theft is not a kleptomaniac are only pretending just to make sure that he was not go to jail.
