Week5: Online theft- Rabia's thoughts

If someone is sentenced to three or four years ın prison, can it be a good solution to make him enforce the law [people obey the law or abide by the law; the authorities or governments enforce the law]? I absolutely disagree with such punıshments. Nowadays, pıracy ıs a common crıme commıted by so many people. When you put one of them ın jaıl, pıracy won't come to an end , by all means. Because people are addıcted to break the laws, they don't even see what they've done as a crıme. Most people thınk that they're not guılty of pıracy Accordıng to them ıt ıs only sharıng fıles not stealıng Some of them also belıeve that they are forced to steal Sınce the prıces of orıgınal copıes of the artıstıc works are not affordable, they download them altough ıt ıs ıllegal On the other hand people are today law unto theırselves [?]Therefore ıt ıs more dıffıcult to punısh them ın a way that wıll change them completely I dısagree wıth the ımprısonment and death penalty But I am not supportıng the ones who take the law ınto theır own hands It ıs so bad actually I am on the opınıon of fınıng them for theır guılt In my opınıon ıf we do away wıth death penalty, the number of law abıdıng cıtızens wıll dramatıcally ınrease [how? Would it tempt people to break the law if we abolish imprisonment and capital punishment??]

Rabia,
Thanks for sharing what you think about the issue with us. Nice to see you actually used some of the vocabulary we highlighted in the text (the ones that I highlighted with blue); using the words in context is the best way to learn and retain them...
p.s. Be careful with punctuation and turkish /english characters!..
