The cause of such high crime rates...

So I was having a dream last night. I'm the type of people that thinks a lot about a lot of random stuff, but this dream, kinda made sense to me. So I was thinking, what is necessarily the actually cause of robbery, kidnapping, drug dealing, rape, and a lot more crimes that I can't remember the name of. Well, I came down with a little list of things, which could also be the actual reason of all of this:

1. Propaganda (main reason probably)
2. Poverty
3. Media (which is sort of the same as #1 actually)


So, I'm basically just going to give you guys a few reasons of to why I think this could be the reason of why people actually commit crimes.



Propaganda and Poverty
So think of it this way, they put a lot of commercials, advertisements, and pass out fliers promoting their merchandise. They pass it around to a lot of people. People read them, and after a lot of thinking or looking at the name they promoting, they want to buy their merchandise. So, what if people don't have the money? They can't buy it! So people become desperate, they NEED that merchandise, they see it everywhere, they see people who actually got it and they enjoy it, they envy them, they then want to get that by any means necessary. If they got no good job, a big family, an addiction (which is cause also by propaganda), and they are in debt, or they see themselves as if they had hit rock bottom, they resort to the quickest, and easiest way possible to get money, robbing.

A lot of people have the mentality of "You got it, I need it, I want it", which actually makes them commit crimes, which could be shop lifting, robbing, stealing, etc. That mentality is not their fault, they are actually given that mentality by the propaganda they see everywhere.

But what about rape? People are accustomed to looking at pretty people all the time on TV, they see it on the movies, magazines, they hear about them on the radio, the music industry is mainly conquered by pretty people (with a few exceptions) and they are actually IN NEED to find a pretty face to fulfill their needs. They not only want a pretty face, but also a sexy body and lots of money. And the media is giving the people the mentality that having sex is totally cool and even necessary in order to have a stable relationship with somebody. And at the same time, the media also tells people that being single sucks, I mean, look at most "love song" they sound pretty happy right? What about the "missing my love" type of songs? As if they really need them, they are making people desperate to be with somebody.

So people from very young age are taught to have that standard, simply by just watching TV. So when people are being rejected for not completing that standard, the same thing happens with robbery, people become desperate, and in hope of having sex or a relationship or something, they rape, and sometimes even kill the victim. I mean, I'm not saying it actually happens like that, but its a thought that I had that could actually be the reason for this to happen.
