Why do people shoplift? It is the public, sibling, or just want to gain attention. I have been told if I don't want any trouble I should keep my mouth shut. There are approximately 27 million shoplifter and 25 percent are kids, 75 percent are adults. A shoplifter would steal at least twice a week. In my case it was more than twice a week. I soon learned that shoplifting is a controllable real-life game with no real outcome. Like a paralyze person I stand and stare in dazed as I was ensure shoplifting is normal. I remember when we used to go Target, Dollar Tree, and Wal-Mart at all times. We were like a baby who cry in need when we want something. Growing up with strict parent is a pain due to my mom she was greedy with money. With this situation my brother start to shoplift until one of them got caught and no longer allow to enter the store. Soon, both of them are banned from at least one store in town. Knowing well shoplifting banned people me and my sister start to shoplift starting somewhere small. At the same location we shoplifted multiple times causing my sister to come from the store announcing,”We can't go to Dollar Tree anymore!” I relied in confused,”Why?” With a clear statement she said,”Were banned from Dollar Tree because we were caught stealing way too many times.” Knowing this will …show more content…
My cousin selled dubbed movie and TV shows often was Thai, Chinese, and Korea. I was more interested into Chinese TV shows because they were more meaningful and simple moral lesson. From the Chinese series, Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre, Zhang Wuji childhood was terrible and a disaster. Due to the powerful sword Wuij's parent died and was abandoned. The moral lesson is to forgive and forget in order to seek peace in life. This series help me realize being greedy and selfish at what I want won't bring long term happiness.

I Daniella M. Genzale was caught shoplifting from Sephora in Roosevelt Field Mall. I put two items of makeup into my pocket book and walked out of the store passing all points of purchasing.When I left the store the security made us stop and ask us to give them what items were taken and don't pretend nothing was taken because he watched us. Then we walked back into the store with the security and they took us into the back room, once we were there he showed us the video of us taking the items and calculated how much was stolen all together. We were in the room for about an hour before the police officers came and hand cuffed us. At this point I was in tears crying, I was worried my mom was calling me and she was nervous. I still don't understand
Whenever you do not own something that everybody else owns, what can you do not to feel left out? I’ll answer that, most teens decide to steal. Delinquency results among these teens because lower-class values, or focal concerns, encourage behaviors defined as deviant by middle class standards. The delinquent teens do not know better, and sometimes do it to fit in. Also, once they can finally own something they never did their whole own life for free, they go for it. For many people living in poverty, crime is seen as the only opportunity for achieving a higher level of socioeconomic status. Delinquency rates rise daily due to poverty and the only ones we can blame is

Why do people commit crime? This is a question many people have asked themselves for the past century. Over the years, many theorists, like Travis Hirschi and Edwin Lemert, have identified possible reasons for why people commit crimes. While each of these theories differ from one another, all point us to an understanding of the paths that bring individuals to commit crime.
other people’s possessions. Many times they will do anything to get a hold of what it is they want from
There is a popular idiom stating that “It takes a village to raise a child”, family is not enough in guiding one’s behavior. The neighborhood in which you abide also plays a hand in shaping your moral character. If a child lives in a bad neighborhood where the children bond over shoplifting it is more likely that the child will also shoplift in an attempt to assimilate and make friends. In the community of the delinquent children, it may be considered deviant to report the children’s behavior. This will alter the young child’s mindset and the child may be set on a path towards future criminal behavior.
Life is bursting with temptation everywhere and based on peer pressure, if you can’t get something you want you rather find another way to get it. Individuals of the community rather act out of action without thinking about it first, which can lead them to the severe consequences of their actions. Then you later think what I did was wrong, I could have prohibited that by doing it differently. Afterward, you feel a great deal of emotions running through your mind; encumbrance, sorrow, and helplessness. These reactions cause you to overthink and make you feel compunction than you already feel. At first you feel calm and assumed you can get away with it, but unfortunately it landed you nowhere but deeper in the grave. Even in its effects in “Shoplifting”
The film Hero depicts one of the most culturally rich and diverse country, China. China is one of the largest countries in the world with the long profound history. It is also the most diverse country in terms of language, religion, rituals, traditions, and beliefs. The film Hero has an unusual movie theme, it repeats similar events through flashbacks and with different outcomes. The tale is about the nameless warrior and the triumph of Qin’s idea of unifying China. The king invites the warrior to honor him for defeating his three most dangerous enemies, who are often proclaimed as the unbeatable warriors. The film is a cultural description of Chinese traditions. It has expanded my understanding of Chinese culture by portraying the spectacular
All human societies and communities have basic ethical principles that constitute certain moral codes. People formulated these principles and rules many centuries ago; they are fundamentals that structure human behavior and as such are included in all major religious and ethical systems. One of these basic rules is “do not steal”, something children are taught from their very early age. In our rapidly developing and dramatically changing contemporary world, ethical issues and problems are becoming ever more important and urgent. Maintaining basic ethical principles in a variety of settings and conditions requires more than accepting major moral values; it calls for courage, commitment, character, and strong and flexible reasoning and judgment. Ethical principles have been developed by different philosophical teachings and theories that analyze and structure worldview principles including, as one of their basic parts, ethical issues. In their everyday life, people often use words “good” or “bad” defining by them what they understand as ethical, or moral behavior or that which is immoral or unethical. They normally make no discrimination between ethics and morality, although the former “seems to pertain to the individual character of a person or persons, whereas morality seems to point to the relationships between human beings” (Thiroux Jacques P.20). The simple definitions of “good” and “bad”, however, turn out to be complicated and even controversial when we try to formulate consistently the principles that underpin them or define standards for judging and evaluating these norms.
This ailment occurs in less than about 5% of the shoplifting cases. It is more common to find that this disease affects women more than it does males. It affects women who are about the age of 35, but in rare cases, some have reported noticing this behavior in as early as five years old. I read a story about a woman named Hilary; she recounted her story of kleptomania and how it all started. She was a successful middle class woman, with a very good job. She explained her first encounter with the disorder; she began to steal spoons from the café. She said that stealing the spoons soothed her. After this she began to steal more item that she had no need for. She elucidated how she began to feel guilty; she would sit up at night crying and telling herself that she was going to stop. She said that she feared losing her job, upsetting her family and being taken to jail. But when she would wake up the next morning nothing had changed, she still had that same rush to steal meaningless
Perhaps one of the most common and widely know reasons behind theft is financial hardship. Employees who are financially burdened are more likely to steal from their employer because there is a need involved.
First and foremost, a thief must be someone who views crime as subjectively acceptable and objectively available. In other words, even if someone views crime as morally acceptable but does not have access
2. A 7-year-old child asks you to explain why stealing is wrong. (We will assume here that it is wrong.) How would you go about explaining it?
Compulsive buyers usually start shopping when they are feeling down and looking for a “pick me up.” They go out and buy, to get a high, or get a “rush” just like a drug or alcohol addict. Shopping addiction tends to affect more women then men. Women often buy things they do not need. Holiday season usually help trigger shopping binges for people who are not compulsive shoppers the rest of the year. Many shopping addicts go on shopping binges all year long and may be compulsive about certain items, such as shoes, clothing, or kitchen items; some will just buy anything. Women who have this disorder will often have racks of clothing in their closets with the price tags still attached. They will usually go to the mall with the intention of buying one thing, and come home with bags and bags of merchandise. If family members start to complain of the purchases, they will often hide the things they buy. Compulsive shoppers often are in denial about their problem. Because they cannot pay their bills their credit rating suffers, and they may have collecting agencies coming to get what is owed to them. This will lead to many social and relationship problems. Sometimes they even try to take on an extra job to help pay the bills.
Desperate times lead to desperate measures. A man loses his job and has no money to feed his family. One might assume left with no other means the man might resort to stealing. The United States is currently in the midst of a recession so severe some speculate will last longer than the Great Depression. Various indicators of the economic health such as the unemployment rate and home foreclosures have reached their worst records in decades over the last several months. Given the state of the financial crisis law enforcement agencies have warned of increased criminal activity. Despite the economic turmoil and high levels of unemployment, crime rates have fallen significantly across the United States.
