Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Reasons why some people steal

9 of 79

In the distant past, stealing was principally a preoccupation of the lower classes, the poor, vagrants etc. Their reasons were usually pretty basic. They would steal food and clothes to feed and dress their families. Nowadays however, it would seem that theft is rife throughout all levels of society. Some still steal clothes ... More..

Arts & Humanities > European History Did the German people benefit from Nazi economic policy?

1 of 3

At the end of the First World War, Germany was a defeated nation. The peace treaties that followed, in particular the Treaty of Versailles, were incredibly harsh on Germany. She was denied an air force outright and allowed only a small navy, with none of the submarines that had been so devastating in the war years, and an arm... More..

There were many times during the Second World War when the course of events could have changed dramatically.

I put this sensationalism down to the desire for profit. The more exciting the front page and the subsequent stories, the... More..

12 of 17

It strikes me this month with the release of two new films, The Number 23, and The Freedom Writers, along with a host of other modern movies released recently, that directors in Hollywood (one the whole, Michel Gondry and Christopher Guest, among others are exceptions) have no ideas of their own. I could go on, but I shall, f... More..

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Loneliness

86 of 92

Loneliness is a state of mind. If you're on your own, you needn't be lonely. He would repeat this to himself all day, every day, and occasionally trick himself into believing it. Sometimes, if he thought hard enough about it, if he really tried, the loneliness would become a state of mind, and he could forget about it and won... More..
