Crime and Punishment


by cho su bin (10-A3)

Every day, we receive many sorts of news through television, newspaper, or internet and when we see news, we can notice most of them are about crime and punishment. Many people commit crime for many kinds of reasons and if the crime is ascertained apparently, the criminal is punished. Some people claim the cause of crime is us so we should fulfill our responsibility about the case but my opinion is different from them. In my opinion, criminals have to take a responsibility of the crime of course, by themselves.

There are lots of problems in our life. During our life, we go through many tough tasks, and sometimes, we becoming a laughingstock by others. It is very annoying but if all these kinds of people who were hurt by community commit crime without endurance and understanding, our society will be filled with criminals. However, it cannot be the excuse of crime. No matter how much annoying and get angry, things make decide to commit a crime is our mind. Never the less, some people claim that hurt from society is essential factor that criminals commit the crime so we should take responsibility of it. I think it is nonsense. After this opinion is accepted and put into practice, this society can not be maintained because of excessive issue of crime. And then not everyone who got hurt from outside is becoming a criminal. In most of our case, we just understanding and bearing. After then, we can become more matured through these sorts of experiences. But if we understand and accept every crime and just think over ourselves, it will make criminals to think it is fair and proper to commit a crime if they have dissatisfactions at society.

In this manner, I disagree with the opinion which is asking us to think over about all the crimes that took place in our society. I think it’s unfair to kind normal people. Whether or not the cause of crime is us, criminals should take a liability for crime by them selves.
