The possible contributions of the social environment to the phenomenon are categorically addressed. The concept of Normality and Abnormality and their relationships with Social Psychopathy are analyzed. It concludes with an analysis of the implications and challenges of Social Psychopathy in supporting the creation of entertainment media, specifically horror comics in Brazil.
