Criminal behavior has always been a focus for psychologist due to the age old debate between nature and nurture. Is it the responsibility of an individual’s genetic makeup that makes them a criminal, or is it the environment in which they are raised that determines their outcome.There are three reasons why criminal choose to do criminal acts.
One reason why people commit crime is because they want to. This can be classified as an individual making a poor choice in life. It also can be the result of the environment he or she surrounds their self with. The old saying is ‘‘You are who you hang out with.
secondly is society, a reason why many criminal choose to commit criminal acts. Some crimes are caused by poverty and inequality. Both rich and poor people commit crimes, but crime rates tend to be higher in poorer communities, especially those located in inner cities. One explanation, known as ‘’strain theory,’’ can explain this. In most places, people generally work to earn money so they can afford a comfortable life.
lastly is people who commit crime is bacause they desprate to gat maney to but food to eat and buy othaer things to live such as clothes, food and drinks and etc.
in conclusion, people who commit crime have their own reason and we can not simply as that blame they why they do crime.

euthanasia
“Euthanasia” is a broad term for mercy killing—taking the life of a hopelessly ill or injured individual in order to end his or her suffering. Mercy killing represents a serious ethical dilemma. People do not always die well. Some afflictions cause people to suffer through extreme physical pain in their last days, and euthanasia may seem like a compassionate way of ending this pain.
Other patients may request euthanasia to avoid the weakness and loss of mental faculties that some diseases cause, and many feel these wishes should be respected.
This moral dilemma is not new.
The term “euthanasia” is derived from ancient Greek, and means “good death.” But while the debate over mercy killing has ancient origins, many observers believe that it is harder today to achieve a good death than ever before.
Advances in medicine have increased people’s health and life span, but they have also greatly affected the dying process. For example, in the early twentieth century the majority of Americans died at home, usually victims of pneumonia or influenza. Today most people die in the hospital, often from degenerative diseases like cancer that may cause a painful, lingering death.
