Don’T Steal. This Principle Of Human Behavior Has Been

During retail theft, the stolen items don’t just disappear into thin air. Every item that is taken without being paid for in the store still has to be paid for by the company and manufacturer. This can cause major setbacks in store production and companies a lot of debt. They are handing over money they are not getting back. Being in this situation, forces them to raise prices to stay in business or pay off what has been taken. Shoplifters who don’t get

for it. Don't steal from others if you don't want them them to steal from you.

The obvious reason that someone would 'love' shoplifting would be that she wanted to have items she could not obtain with her current paycheck. However, the author does have a job, and over the course of the essay she does not specifically identify many expensive items that she would like to possess but cannot buy. "Everything changes when I shoplift. I'm no longer negotiating with faceless, inhuman entities that have no concern for my welfare; instead, I'm taking what I need without giving anything up." Her main complaint with capitalism is the impersonality of its

If you do shoplift you feel immense humiliation and distrust from friends and family, and your own conscious is hurt if it isn't then there is something wrong with your feelings not to feel bad about stealing from stores. Every time you steal from stores they are set back that much money and might even have to fire someone that could be one of your friends.People in the community lose respect for you.

Shoplifting is a major problem in today’s world. I myself was recently caught shoplifting and now I have to face the consequences for the bad mistake I made. The temptation of not paying for something is very big factor in why people steal. The shoplifter thinks he is getting a product for free and doesn't know what he's really doing to himself and the community. Shoplifting affects yourself, your local neighborhood and the world population.

Shoplifting is a prevalent crime within the United States that must be controlled by risk managers. During December of 2009, a Foot Locker in Atlanta, Georgia was robbed when “police arrested two adults and four juveniles in a smash and grab job.” (CBS Atlanta 1) Unlike employee theft, customer theft is limited to the $1,120,000,000 in merchandise inventory (“Balance Sheet”). Although the inventory and cash could potentially be recovered from the employee(s) or customer(s) through a lawsuit, as a risk manager I would need to take preventative action.

Larceny is defined as the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the takers own use. To say it plainly, larceny is stealing someone else’s property. No matter what reasons there are behind stealing, it is still wrong. I imagine there are many reasons for a person to decide that it is worth the risk to steal something. There are certain people who do not think this is wrong to steal someone else’s property. A large part of this is because people do not understand who or what they are harming when they steal. Most people who commit larceny do not look at the big picture and realize what they are doing and how it affects

I believe that if I were in that situation, I would try not to steal unless it became a life or death situation for me, or anyone that depended on me. I would try to avoid looting because I know that it would be intentionally harming the company that I was looting for, and also the community, both the economy and the reputation. Nonetheless, I believe that human lives are worth more than the stolen merchandise. If I or someone who depended on me were on the brink of death, I would steal from local stores to protect

People have been stealing things ever since there were things to steal. Why buy something if it would be easier to just… take it? Sure, if you don't get caught you can get away with anything.

Today, more so than ever, we have a great need to protect our families and property from those who wish to take it away or do us harm. A lot of the public is unaware of the crimes being committed on a daily basis. They are even more unaware of how many crimes are

When a city does not have the resources to deal with a large volume of crime, the justice system can seem like a revolving door for the criminals. If the smaller criminals have to be overlooked because the system is swamped with major crimes, then the threat of jail time for shoplifting looses its power. Time after time we see both Fred do little jail time for his crimes. The first time me meet Fred, he’s accidentally been released from jail after only doing 60 days of a one year sentence. He’s been out of jail for one day and he’s already back to shoplifting. Four months later Fred is arrested for Grand Larceny and Vehicular Homicide. He uses an alias along with a phony I.D. to hide his extensive criminal record and ends up out of jail in just three weeks after plea-bargaining down to minor charges as a “first offender”. Fred was responsible for the death of someone and because of an overwhelmed justice system he is set free. After you get away with something like this how much of a deterrent is the law when it comes to shoplifting? Not much to Fred because just three months later he’s arrested for stealing silverware and end up in jail for six months. Of course each time we see the thieves’ stealing they are always with a friend, an accomplice, someone who thinks and acts the same way they do.

Along with a community being hurt, his or her actions negatively affect those personally close to the shoplifter as well. Whether it is a mother, father, sibling, or child, there is always someone else being hurt when stealing takes place. It is very easy for the shoplifter to only worry about him or her and not think about the

Is stealing considered ethical? According to Carol Gilligan, stealing may be the right thing to do if and when the scenario is right (Feminine Ethics: Ethics of Care). So what makes a situation suitable for stealing? Well that depends on a lot of things. First and most importantly though is the care involved. Carol Gilligan (2011) explains, “An ethics of care directs our attention to the need for responsiveness in relationships (paying attention, listening, responding) and to the costs of losing connection with oneself or with others. Its logic is inductive, contextual, psychological, rather than deductive or mathematical.” In other words, caring is ultimately about others, learning to put them first and emphasizing the relationships between friends and family. To do so, one must comprehend the following: understanding what stage of morality a person is going through, how they are care for others, the leadership roles that one possesses, how society and culture impact the development of the individual and the emphasis gender has on morality is also important in determining whether stealing is right or wrong. Identifying these things will help to better understand the ethical issues that follow and the theory used to describe it.

On the way to “Twister Two” one of my friends suddenly had a candy bar in his possession. When he was asked how he got it, he simply replied, “I stole it.” It was so amazing to me that he could do that, and act as if it was no big deal. To me stealing would be a thing that needed to be planned and executed, but to him it was just another place that he ripped off. He explained that it is easy to do, “you just grab what you want, wait ‘til no one’s looking, and then walk out.” This is when I first began pondering the idea of stealing. I had never stole before because I knew it was against my morals, but there was that rebel in me that wanted to try it. He, on the other hand, had probably stolen so many times that he could do it with his eyes closed, and he had never been caught. Lucky him.
