Nowadays the economy and society changes moment by
moment, leaving changes in people’s life, too. A lot of bad thing are
happening, also, but these crimes are caused by the people who don’t want to
agree on and accept everything that the government or the laws say. Nowadays corruption grows to greater sizes and a lot
of policemen, politicians and other people are being sent to jail, because
they’ve been charged with corruption. Besides
corruption there’s very often smuggling, which is the clandestine
transportation of goods or persons, such as out of a building, into a prison,
or across an international border, in violation of applicable laws or other
regulations. There are a lot of economic crimes, like corruption.
In economy, corruption is payment for services or material which the recipient
is not due, under law. Like when you go at a higher speed somewhere that it is
allowed at that place, and a policeman arrests you, you give money to the man
to let you go, this way you don’t have to pay a fine, give him your drivers license
or serve some time in prison. If it turns out that you bribed a policeman, both
of you will be arrested and have to go to jail. There are various motivations to smuggle. These
include the participation in illegal trade, such as in the drug trade, in
illegal immigration, or illegal emigration, tax evasion, providing contraband
to a prison inmate, or the theft of the items being smuggled. Examples of non-financial
motivations include bringing banned items past a security checkpoint (such as
airline security), or the removal of classified documents from a government or
a corporate office. A lot of
smuggling happens in our country, too, especially from the Ukrainian and
Serbian side. Hundreds of Roma people and different families benefit from
smuggling, and even they live on the money or other benefits they get from it.
Incredible amounts can be smuggled through the borders, and unfortunately, the
smugglers are not always get noticed, as they worked out different tricks against
the checks. They transport not only cigarettes and drugs, but even petrol and small
animals, like rare birds which are illegal to hunt for in a country, but are
eaten and bought at a high price in other places where these species can’t be
found. Mostly, the animal smuggling people get the animals here, in Hungary,
and usually transport the rare species to France. Also, they can
smuggle people, who, in a hope of a new, good life would sacrifice everything
that is theirs, but usually are caught. This is why they started to immigrate
illegally. Though, they still had to eat, so they started to work, also not
legally. This again is a huge problem nowadays. Like in the case of America,
people staying in the states illegally are being expelled when it turns out
that they are illegal immigrants, and they might be punished for it, as for
working without any documents or permission. People like to
try out dangerous things, especially when they are young, they feel that they
are strong and powerful from every viewpoint and they think they can let
themselves do anything. Very often they try out smoking and drinking alcoholic
drinks, and sometimes even drugs. If somebody does this more than they should, they
can easily become addicted, and these kinds of obsessions mean great health
hazards, and people can easily die because of overdose or something like that.
Of course, smoking is not good for the passive-smokers, neither. These are the
people that basically are not smoking, but are breathing in the air that
somebody polluted with the smoke of their cigarettes. Due to this, serious
measurements have been taken in Hungary, and from the 1st January smoking is
banned and punished in public places. Prostitution
can base on two causes: the first is when somebody decides to be a prostitute
because their own will, probably because of the lack of any other job. The
other way is when someone is forced to work like that, because they grew up
like in an orphanage and who adopted them wanted the kids to do this. In my
opinion, prostitution is not a bad habit, but more like a sacrifice, until
somebody does it in their need, and not just for fun. Whenever I see a woman
standing on the edge of the road, I’m not thinking of her with hatred, but I’m
thinking of why she is standing there. Unfortunately,
as they are alone, they can be easily the target for violent people, who may
rape and rob, or in the worst case, kill them. Prostitution is heard very often
together with the word crime, as in some countries it is against the law,
expect from under some conditions, like when somebody does it for their own
self, in a house, in a clean environment and
not with the guest they shouldn’t accept. Terrorism is a
topic that is very interesting for a lot of people. We can hear a lot about
terrorist groups and suicidors who plant bomb, or fix them on their own bodies
and blow them up near places that are very crowded or where are important
people for the government, just to fight or their own, not always good
interests. Terrorists are considered to be criminals and are being chased
everywhere. However, they are still humans, like us, so they also have rights,
too. There are many
human rights activists because in not all places people have the same rights,
and there are ever parts of the world where young children are made to work by
their parents or because the family hasn’t got enough money and children have
to start collecting money at a very young age. The human rights activists are
protesting for these children and collecting funds for their education and for
not sending them to work. The human rights are commonly understood as
inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply
because he or she is a human being. These rights are universal, applicable
everywhere and the same for everyone. These rights may exist as natural rights
or as legal rights, in both national and international law. Many of the
basic ideas that animated the movement developed in the aftermath of the second
world war and the atrocities of The Holocaust, culminating in the adoption of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Paris by the United Nations
General Assembly in 1948. The ancient world did not possess the concept of universal
human rights.
