For my research essay I will be discussing how being an FBI profilers affects their everyday lives. It can affect their lives by causing them to be so aware of everything around them they can not help but profile everyone they meet. Is this a good quality or bad quality to have? Is there a downside of being overly aware of everything that goes on around you?
