Psychology of Self Defense – 3 Pathological Threats



urban survival course

Psychological self defense refers to the threat of injury to the self as a threat to identity. The fact that the threat to one's identity is pathological means it doesn't care who is hurt, often hinders this defensive response. To change the perception of the threat, it is important to affirm a value that you hold. Below are three examples. You can read on to find out more about each.

Psychopaths don't care about the hurt.

Psychopaths will not care about who is hurt unless they have an instinct for self defense. They do not have any remorse for what they do and will not care who gets hurt. They don't care about the hurt they cause and won't feel bad about it. Psychopaths have an extremely high sense of self and believe that the laws of the world do not apply to them. These people will do almost anything to get away, even harming people.

They don't care about who is hurt

Psychopaths on the other side don't care if anyone else is hurt in self defense and are more likely to be manipulative. Psychopaths instill fear in their victim. They often hide their threats with family secrets or stories of disappearances. This manipulation strategy is designed to manipulate the victim's emotions so that they will give in to the bully's demands.

Imperfect self-defense

There are two types of self-defense: imperfect and normal. Perfect self-defense is when a person believes they are in imminent threat and has no other option but to use deadly force for their protection. This doctrine does not apply in every situation.

Deathly force

It is okay to use deadly force in self defense if the person who is defending themselves believes that they are about to be seriously injured or killed. A rapist must threaten the victim with death or serious bodily injury to justify using deadly force. There are four main elements that make force deadly. They are: The use of force for self defense must be justified with an unprovoked attack, objectively reasonable force and the person must be reasonably afraid of harm or death. However, there are two exceptions to this rule: excessive force during the initial attack and withdrawal.


Motivational theory

R.W. Rogers, in 1975. Later expanded in 1983. The protection motiv theory attempts to predict how people will react in stressful situations. The topic of cancer prevention and quitting smoking were among the most popular. Bike helmet use, reducing caffeine intakes, improving dental hygiene, pain management following dental surgery and safe pesticide usage were some minor topics. The research shows that the psychological and physiological factors affecting self defense are the same as for other topics.

Neglect

Denial is a primitive defence mechanism. It can work alone or with other subtle mechanisms to prevent a person from dealing with unpleasant emotions or areas of life. For example, a student might refuse to acknowledge their obvious inexperience during a test. A person might also avoid acknowledging that they did not prepare well for a presentation, by minimising their effort. Denial in self-defense can be dangerous.

FAQ

How long should the supplies in a survival kit last?

It is best to have sufficient supplies on hand in case of an emergency. If disaster strikes, you don’t want to be without your essentials.

If you're camping, for example you should bring all your essentials in one small bag. You should have enough food, water and emergency supplies such as first aid kits, fire starters or matches, tools, and any other essential items.

Also, be sure to have a torch, map, compass and whistle. These items will help to keep you safe and assist you in finding your way home if lost.

These items should be stored in a waterproof container. You should make sure your supplies are easy to find and don't get lost while hiking.

Consider the things you'll be using most often, and how much space each one takes up when packing. If you have extra space, consider adding additional items. For example, if you plan on spending a lot of time cooking meals outdoors, you could add a stove and pots and pans to your list.

Make sure you know exactly where you put your supplies because if you lose track of them, you'll be very limited in what you can do once you reach civilization again.


How can I begin survival preparation?

Start with an emergency kit. It should contain basic supplies such as food, water or shelter. Next, add items that can help you remain safe and secure.

You might also consider adding a solar-powered radio, flashlight, compass, whistle, and map. Fishing equipment is a good option if you live near streams, rivers, and lakes.

Another way to prepare for emergency situations is with a bug-out backpack (BOO). It is a backpack that contains essential gear. Some BOOs can include a tent and sleeping bags, stove, firestarter or stove, as well as utensils, batteries.

There are many options available when it comes to disaster preparedness. These are the basic steps to start with and then expand it based on your specific situation.


What information do I need before I can start my doomsday prep?"

First, you will need to collect information about your region. What kind of natural disasters can happen in your region? Are there any serious risks?

Flood insurance policies are a good idea if you live in a flood area. Flooding is a threat to life that can occur during a crisis.

Insurance for tsunamis is a good idea if you live on the coasts. Underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis. They can strike without warning so it is best to be prepared.

Next, decide how long do you want to be independent. How long can you survive on your own?

Will you only be gone for a few days? Will you be away from your home for weeks, or months?

Is it possible to live alone? If you are, you will need to bring a weapon. You can choose between a gun and a bow-and-arrow. Make sure that you feel comfortable using the tool.

A shovel, axe and saw are all good tools. These tools are useful for making shelters, or creating makeshift weapons.

Stock up on water and food. You will need enough food to last several days.

This list is not exhaustive. You don't need to purchase all of the items. However, it is important that you at least get started.


What every doomsday apologist should know?

Not only what you need, but also the amount of it. It's simple: if you want to survive, you have to learn how to live off the land.

There are many ways to prepare for an emergency. This list does not necessarily mean that you should go out and purchase everything. It is important to know where you can start when preparing for disaster.

The most important thing is to make sure you're prepared for anything. You must be prepared for everything if you want to survive.



Statistics

  • A survey commissioned by National Geographic found that forty percent of Americans believed that stocking up on supplies or building a bomb shelter was a wiser investment than a 401(k). (newyorker.com)
  • A gravel bike was the clear winner, receiving more than 90 percent of the votes. Background: This summer, we surveyed our readers about what they’d shove into a backpack if they were caught unprepared for the collapse of society. (inverse.com)
  • Approximately a hundred and seventeen million people earn, on average, the same income they did in 1980, while the typical income for the top one percent has nearly tripled. (newyorker.com)
