Sociopaths are people who can be highly successful in society or be unable to adapt with the social mores of their culture. They come from all socioeconomic classes, so you cannot tell just by looking at someone whether they are sociopathic or not. Sociopathic behavior may be exaggerated in the movies, such as the character Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange; not all sociopaths will use violence to get what they want.
