Taking into account that some of my classmates have considered topics such as sadomasochism or incest as possible themes for the week 12. I would like to propose the act of stealing as the topic for that week. I think that could be really interesting discuss some points such as the following ones during the lesson:
- What could be the reasons that lead somebody to take what is not yours?
- Can we interpret as equally bad the acts of stealing something for necessity or stealing for pleasure?
- Can we justify some thefts?
- Must we punish all the thieves in the same way or the sentences must depend on the grade of thefts?
In my opinion, I consider that this could be a relevant topic for this module programme because it deals with an universal behaviour that has been considered as something unacceptable as well as polemic over a philosophical perspective thoughout history.
The following link is a curious news about a virtual theft that I have found in the BBC web site.
