Caught stealing

I am writing this essay as punishment for actions I did over this last summer. I was caught shoplifting from Walmart on Forest Drive. Not only was I caught shoplifting, but I was caught shoplifting the most embarrassing thing possible: candy. Ever since then, I have had a sour taste that no amount of sugar can fix. I learned an important lesson that day, and that would be that stealing (even from a major corporation) is bad and you lose more money than it is worth. South Carolina has two types…

Here we are asked to describe the dilemma and the implications of stealing food to feed one’s hungry family, on the individual, the family, the community, and society. Ethical dilemma exists when there is a clash between what is right and what is wrong. Therefore, there is no solution as right and wrong in ethical dilemma (Noble, 2007). It involves weighing personal values, belief and sense of right and wrong, rather than clear logical reasoning. The dilemma for the individual here is, whether…

1. A CHILD ASKS, “What is wrong with stealing, if it does not hurt somebody.” There are several ways in which a parent could handle this type of question, however, the one I would choose is to refer them to what the word is saying about this particular situation. I would first ask them how would you feel if someone took something from you that you love without asking. This will give the child the opportunity to think about it from a different point of view. Once they have answered, then this…

In the book the section where Trevor Noah describes of his mother getting attacked and shot by a gun by Trevor’s stepfather . While I experienced something like his recently with my great mother-daughter getting hurt and having to go to surgery the same day. I made me grateful for my own mother, and how I am happy that she is alive even though I'm not close with her. Nevertheless, Trevor noah had a very close relationship with his mother. For when his mother he cried but it was “not a cry of…

those that believe shoplifters who are caught should pay for all those who get away with it. Civil recovery laws are meant to protect small businesses from shoplifters who might make a living from stealing and reselling the items. Instead, the big chain stores are sending out demand letters to every person caught shoplifting even if they were stealing out of a desperate need. The shoplifting rings that do so much damage to the small business are rarely caught. It's the desperate people who are…

1. What led Harris-Moore to embark on a crime spree? In the beginning Harris-Moore stole to survive, he was young and loving out on his own. Stealing was the only way he knew how to get by. He had gotten caught before and held brief stints of community service or stays in detention centers. However, that final crime spree was for the attention. There was a fan page and media attention. It would have been the most positive attention he had received in his life. The public was following his every…

I think Sparta deserved to crumble because they always abused their kids, and they did they only lasted 300 years I think the weakness outweigh the strength, I think this because they abused their children, didn’t have good education, and took their kids away from their family at a young age. Any city state that is this mean to there kids deserves to fall. I think Sparta should have taught their kids education, they could have been a lot better at war if they had smarter people. They would take…

On the surface, gangs are caused by greed and peer pressure. After all, everyone loves to earn money and the way gangs earns there is by extortion, drugs, robbery, and even prostitution. Everybody loves to feel a sense of security as well. This is especially true in such dangerous areas like the ghettos of the inner city. Gangs, without a doubt, provide protection from other gangs as well. As long as gangs provide protection and monetary rewards and a sense of belonging not found at home they…

Entry 10 : The last quotation Mr. Frank reads from Anne’s diary is “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This tell us that Anne’s character is kind, forgiving, and optimistic. Even if people do bad things at times, Anne still thinks that they a really good person at heart. She tries to see the good in things even if there isn’t much hope. I personally do agree with this quotation. People may do some bad things but afterwards they will feel guilty because…

We could have pressed charges against her but we chose…
