Response to "Ala. suspect brilliant, but social misfit"


        High intelligence can make a person successful, but can also destroy a person. There is no doubt that Amy Bishop is one of the top talents in the academic aspect. Morbid psychological that afraid to face failure make Amy Bishop more and more staying away from normal people.        
        Frequently, only when people face difficulties, can we see their psychological qualities clearly. Look, Amy Bishop is an example of failure. She was born in a family which was being highly educated. The Bishops were friendly and academically minded parents, often urging their children, both gifted students and violinists, to get their work done.” When she was a little girl, she showed her intelligence and outstanding. Maybe because of good genes and superior educational environment, she was always the one who has been envied. So she cannot accept the fact that she failed. I cannot understand why she killed her brother then even not be given a judgment. But obviously, it’s an important reason leads to her losing emotional control. When negative emotions accumulate, there must outbreak some day.
        After reading this essay, I also find a U.S unique system called ”tenured professorship”. It is a attractive job and very hard to obtain. Amy Bishop was a assistant professor had strong desire to become a tenured but failed. There must be quantities of people like her in spite of they don’t do radical movements. In fact, it is a huge risk that we don’t know when it explodes.        
        So now I just want to say: maintain a sense of balance. Whenever you make a decision, please consider the consequences clearly.
