    Beowulf Society The earliest known manuscript of Beowulf is thought to have been written in the tenth century‚ however‚ the poem had most likely been told as an oral tradition for centuries before that.

    “For” Does society create criminals? “Society prepares the crime; the criminal commits it.” In some respect I believe that the most prominent feature running through all reasons behind this crime is “society”. It is responsible for the way that people view crime. Many people see crime as glamorized in society and this compels them to commit it. Generally people are born sweet and innocent and are not automatically wired to commit crimes‚ or exhibit unacceptable behavior. It is Society and Undesirable

I think this because most people are shopping online more‚ and to do so you must need a credit
