This is an essay I wrote for one of scholarshipexperts.com essay contest…
"If you were granted the superpower to read minds, whose brain would you tap into and why?"
It has been proven through dozens of different means that man is inherently evil. In a society filled with people that need to be told the differences between right and wrong, and reprimanded for unlawful, unethical behavior, there will always be a constant need for new technology and a better means to communicate and improve our justice system. If I were granted the power to read minds, I would use it to tap into the minds of criminals and other unethical people.
Most of the criminals have very twisted minds; they do not think and process information like the rest of the world. If I were able to tap into their brains, I would begin to analyze and understand their behavior and thought process. With this newly acquired information, I would help my government redefine the justice system and the way they handle criminals. We would be able to develop a better rehabilitation system for the criminals so that we would correct their wrongdoings and prevent future criminal behavior.
It would be incredible to live in a society without murder, stealing, and other criminal behavior. Earth would be one step closer to world peace with every mind I read.
