Those who argue in favor of social problems causing sins assert that poverty, inequality and other factors collectively spawn the high frequency of criminal conducts. Instead of thinking humans are inherently bad, they look deeply at the fact that people are born with various wealth conditions, races, genders, you name it. Driven by the dissatisfaction from the aforementioned invariably immutable truth, some people are exceedingly desperate as they know that it is almost impossible to change their social statuses in their whole life. Therefore, they choose to act illegitimately, such as setting fires to buildings, robbing others? purses, etc.
On the contrary, supporters of the latter view consider that human beings are evil in nature, bringing about all the illegal behaviors at the societal level. Take the case of Xuchao, an notorious arsonist who previously worked as a babysitter and then set the entire house on fire where her work took place. As a result, not only have people surprisingly found there was almost no delinquent tendency, but also blame Xuchao?s illicit action for people?s innately owned negative property.
In my opinion, I prefer agreeing with the former point of view. Firstly, it is common and reasonable to see that people turn the displeasure of their current living situations into great envy, sometimes even crime. The mentioned frustration exactly comes from various social factors. What?s more, mental education and psychological therapy could help to tackle this undesirable transformation. Unfortunately, the affordability of these mental treatment is even tightly interwoven with a person?s financial situation and education a human can ever receive. On the flip side, it is evident that not all human beings end up becoming suspects, which further proves that human nature is not the attribute to crime.
