Essay / Research Paper Abstract

A 5 page paper discussing theft not as a result of external conditions, but rather as a defect of character. The greater pity of theft and its effect on the thief is that s/he wastes time without producing anything of value. Money and things are temporal and never last forever. If lost or stolen, money can be replaced and most things can be as well. Their owners – former owners, rather – have the confidence of the knowledge that they accumulated those things once, they can achieve the same results again. It is the thief who is shortchanged, and all by his own actions. He limits his accomplishments only to taking from others and will never discover what truly lies within him. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

This view likely will only intensify as the nature of business continues to change. Americas welfare system - intended to give a hand up to those who needed help temporarily - created the scenario in which there were some families who knew no other kind of existence. Welfare to Work programs solved much of that. Though there is more work to do in getting able-bodied people back to work, the situation is much better than it was a decade ago. Author Steven Muller (1997) believes that this point is one of great distinction between Americans and Europeans, indeed the rest of the developed world. We are not yet so socially "advanced" that we are willing and eager to see growth in many government ...
