问题     Some people think most crimes are the result of circumstances e.g. poverty and other social problems. Others believe that most crimes are caused by people who are bad by nature. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (2014-11-08)

答案     What causes people to commit crimes has been debated for years, the social circumstances or the root of evil in human nature? From my point of view, it depends on both the external and internal factors. However, the vicious characters of some people play a more predominant part in committing criminal offenses in most cases.
    On the one hand, crimes can be caused by external circumstances, such as poverty and social problems. For example, when the society encounters economic crisis, the number of people who commit crimes often rises. This is because the hardship of life causes some people to lose their mind, when they cannot take the suffering of life. A good case in point is when a man’s child is seriously ill and the family cannot afford to pay for the high bills charged by a hospital, it is very likely the man will steal or rob money when nobody gives him a helping hand. To save his child seems a good reason for him to behave illegally, but is this the only option he has?
    On the other hand, whether to commit a crime or not is largely based on the person’s morals in a specific situation. No matter how hard the life is or how bad the social circumstances are, the unlucky person can always make a choice. Those people who commit crimes using the excuse of hard life or the unfairness of the society are actually cowards, because the majority of people tend to choose a more reasonable solution even if they are in more difficult dilemmas. It is disrespectable to hurt innocent people or damage the common interest of the public , just because they cannot bear the sufferings of life or are angry with the society. For example, in the riot in the summer of 2011 in London, many participants took the opportunity to rob shops and steal goods from supermarkets for their greed. They were people who did shameful anti-social behaviour .
    In conclusion, committing crimes can be the result of many causes. However, a sensible adult should be responsible for his behaviour and to commit offenses in the name of social problems is not acceptable.
