I came across an article on the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths. They are really similar, except the sociopath is due to environmental factors, and the psychopath is due to genetics.

Both are due to something they couldn't help. The environmental factors that affect the sociopath are trauma and abuse. The genetics that affect the psychopath is a lesion in the brain, affecting the ability to have a moral compass of right and wrong. Both lack much of a conscience because of these factors.

If people could understand WHY others act the way they do, like a genetic lesion in a psychopath's brain, we have to ask, "Does this person have any personal blame for the defect? I say no, and that their actions as a result aren't all their fault.

I'd like to hear others chime in.
