When we realize that many people have misconceptions abut law ?breaking , we could think it isnp’t surprising that so many people have criminal records . How could we improve the level of honesty in our society ? Would severe laws help make our society better ? Probably not . Honesty will have to come from social pressure : in the family , at school , on the job , each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behaviors are unacceptable . And teaching respect should become everyone’s responsibility .
68.According to the author , “ Real life is much more complex . ” In the same way that diseases range form the common cold to fatal forms of cancer , crimes vary in degree . For example , smoking in an elevator will inconvenience people , but much less than threatening them with a gun .
In addition to breaking the law themselves , people tolerate various levels of crime . Why are we tolerant of some crimes ? It may be that , by seeing others do something , we accept it more easily . For instance , most people will find it easier to speed on a highway when everybody else is driving over the speed limit . So the people around us influence how much law ?breaking we can tolerate .
sWe must also wonder whether seeing violence on television or reading about it in the newspapers every day makes us tolerate crime more than we should . We become used to seeing blood on the news on television , or in magazines . Because we see thousands of dead people on TV , maybe we just try to ignore the situation behind the violence .
