Doesn't it feel like your in the Big Brother house when your walking around shops, with all the CCTV cameras they have these days our every move is followed.
Shoplifting is generally seen as wrong. However, I do not believe it is absolutely wrong, I mean there are worst things happening in the world than a person pinching an item from a corner shop. I personally have only ever nicked a few penny sweets and that was when i was younger- kids will be kids right?. I feel that shoplifting is a minor in comparison to other types of theft, such as, burglary- but then again theft is theft. I think it is solely down to individual opinion whether shoplifting is right or wrong, there is no definite answer in my opinion- everyone has their own opinion.
As pointed out on the BBC website,http://http//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4477596.stm
shoplifting can be an 'addiction, a job' or some people just do it for the adrenaline rush. The Family Guy episode shown in lecture showed us how easy it is to become addicted and fixated with shoplifting.If a person becomes addicted to shoplifting I feel they should perhaps seek help before it gets too out of control and leads to more excessive forms of theft(e.g. burglary, raids etc- it can happen!)There are so many reason as to why people shoplift it depends on the situation and person. Rebellion, peer pressure can also be reasons why people shoplift.
Anyways, I think this session was really good and I enjoyed listening to others opinions and experience of shoplifting. What did everyone else think? Do you think after lecture that shoplifting was good , bad or are you still undecided?
