    How to use "Amok" in context?

    Amok is a concept in Southeast Asia that refers to a sudden, uncontrolled act of violence. The word amok literally means 'empty' or 'crazy', and is used to describe a type of psychosis in which an individual becomes fixated on achieving personal annihilation or killing as a means of self-defence. Amok attacks are typically unplanned and involve a sharp increase in violence and bloodshed. They can be exceptionally deadly, as perpetrators often exhibit little regard for their own safety or those around them.
