The Anti Social Disordered Somalia

For most people, their adult personality is attuned to the demands of society they grow in. Just like individuals have personalities, nations too tend to have a personality which seem to identify it and its people. How one nation perceives things and behaves may be considered by the rest of the world as a disorder. This is more so when that nations activity affect others negatively.

 

Personality Disorders stem from the gradual development of inflexible and distorted personality and behavioral patterns that result in persistently maladaptive ways of perceiving, thinking about and relating to the world. People with personality disorders often cause as much difficulty in others lives as in their own lives. Other people tend to find the behavior of those with personality disorders confusing, exasperating, unpredictable and unacceptable.

 

People with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) continually violate and show disregard for the rights of others through deceitful, aggressive, or anti-social behavior. Such people tend to be impulsive, irritable and aggressive and to show a pattern of generally irresponsible behavior. The American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV-TR) gives the criteria for ASPD as pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of rights of others as indicated by three of the following:

 

1) Failure to conform to social norms and repeated law breaking, 2) Deceitfulness, 3) Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead, 4) Irritability and aggressiveness, 5) Reckless disregard for safety of self or others,  6) Consistently irresponsibility, 7) Lack of remorse.

It celebrated 50 years of independence this year, 2010, having obtained its independence from Britain in 1960. Somalia has however experienced a roller coaster of problems since its independence. In fact there is no existing constitution and for the last 20 years there has been no steady or effective government due to friction and civil unrest.
