Stealing

Stealing is a topic in which society is extremely judgemental upon, and no one understands all the reasons for why people choose to steal?! and for alot of people it is a grey area.



The main reason for people stealing is that people who live in poverty due to lack of income so they steal because they need to be able to live, or need to support others such as their children and that is the option that is available to them at the time and may not be able to ask for help off family and friends.



There are other people who need to steal to fund their habit such as drugs or alcohol addicts, as they are expensive habits they need to make money quick. Which involves a lot of quick burglary's such as stealing cash or laptops or phones as they know people will buy them. People who steal to feed their addiction would be in a different state of mind, and will not be thinking of the consequences of their stealing and how they are hurting others even their family members.

Greed is a reason why people steal as "their will always be some people who are just plain greedy and want everything weather they can afford it or not." www.helium.com and they enjoy the adrenaline rush of maybe getting caught. Also, they may want attention from others and stealing is an easy way of achieving this. Rich and famous people may result to stealing because they are bored with their life's and want excitement.

Overall, some people may have little morals when it comes to stealing from society or family and friends. Where as some people may not have been brought up in the environment where stealing is seen as wrong.

  1. I agree that people have different reasons why they steal and to be honest it is human nature, people seem to forget we are animals and sometimes our morals go out the window in times of need and for instance a single parent, who has no money and her kids are suffering from hunger how else will she be able to feed her children if she doesn’t do it she will be judged as a bad mother and some sort of child abuse.
