Week 5 - Pick something...

Well, I was quite astonished by the amount of corruption in the Field of mental illnesses and medicine. I knew that corruption existed in big business, big sports, and in politics, but I doubted anyone could honestly be so evil as to do corrupt business when people's mental health is on the line. When people will accept multi-million dollar bribes from pharmaceutical companies to withhold findings of the fact that their drugs are useless, you know there are true low life's out there. The world of a person with a mental disorder is something that we cannot comprehend, and for someone to take advantage of these people for the sake of money is someone that not only deserves to go to jail, but also to be looked down upon by every other human being. It is a despicable act to use people that way. I have always considered people of higher education to be those that could look past the material gains of what they do and look at what it does for the people of the world and how it can change how we look at things. Reading this article has disgusted me and completely disheartened me about the human race. It makes it seem like no person can be a decent person when faced with a large sum of money. I say this and at the same time I am thinking that this is a biased thing of me to say. This article is made to show the worst of what has happened and to fit us with a perfect situation to bash the greed of the human race. These particular cases of corruption absolutely disgust me, but I believe that the honorable men and women that have dedicated their lives to helping those with mental disorders far outweighs these acts of greed and self-centeredness. These psychologists should be ashamed of their own actions because they are the ones that understand the implications to what they have done more than anyone else.
