Why Is Stealing A Good Idea
Is stealing a good idea or a bad idea? If you are a girl/boy that thinks stealing is a good idea, well you are wrong about that, why? Keep reading and you will find out. My story is going to be about why stealing is wrong and that you should never steal in any purposes.
Stealing is wrong because not only you’re going to get caught but you will also go to jail for about 12 months to 3 years that or there can also be some other consequences to it. If you want something you should just ask for it instead of stealing. There can be a time in life when you can actually get what you want and sometimes when you won’t be able to get what you want. But that doesn’t mean you need to take it without permission. You will lose some friends and if something

    Larceny is “the unlawful taking of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it permanently”, defined by the Merriam - Webster dictionary. There are different levels of larceny. There is Grand Larceny which is usually defined as theft of a more significant amount of property. In the United States it is often defined as items or currency that is valued as $400 or more. In New York grand larceny applies to amounts of $1000 or more. Grand larceny is classified as a Class A felony. To bluntly say it, larceny is stealing from others. No matter what the motives or reasons behind stealing are, it is still wrong. I imagine there are a million of motives for someone to convince himself or herself that it is worth the risk to steal something. Some other people might also not have the conscience to feel wrong for stealing. A large part of this is because people do not understand who or what they are harming when they steal. Most people don’t care and only worry about their problems. Even after being caught someone might only feel bad for himself or herself.…

    There are many forms of plagiarism. The common factor between all forms of plagiarism is that they are all illegal and unethical.
