distance learning assignment
Sandusky is sick in the head. I dislike the fact that he is not admitting that he is a pedophile when questioned during an interview. One of the key things about pedophiles I learned from my Abnormal Psychology class is that they are in denial and they have a strong belief that what they are doing is not wrong. Sandusky admits to horsing around in the showers with the boys, but does not see anything wrong with his actions. At this point, I don't think he's trying to save Penn State's reputation or even his own, he seriously has some sort of abnormal psychological disorder. Social media is interpreting this scandal as it should be. It's showing us that Sandusky, along with the others involved, were morally wrong and should be punished. Although media is doing the right thing by exposing this scandal, it also gives the actual sport, school and faculty a bad reputation. It gets me a little worried about other colleges and the kinds of sketchy things that could be possibly happening. It even gets me thinking about our own school! YIKES! You never know! This scandal is raising many suspicions and paranoia amongst the college sport community and are slowly losing trust from the people. I'm sure Paterno and others did not take the correct actions to stop Sandusky because they knew it would have ruined the football team and all their power would diminish, which is what's happening right now. The sport deviance in this case is not normal and should not be tolerated. These faculty members of the football team that knew about Sandusky's horsing around enjoyed the power and money they received. They got lost in the greed from the benefits they were getting and only thought about themselves instead of the poor boys going through these incidents. Of course they are not going to snitch out Sandusky because they did not want to lose what they were receiving through their work with the sport. It is not okay with what happened to these young boys and it's sad they have to live with this their whole lives. Everyone involved in and knew about this scandal should not have the privilege to keep their position with the school and should be punished.
