57.If an individual acts in an anti-social way, such as committing the crime, 
who is to be blamed: society or the individual?   What are the causes behind 
such behavior? Who should be responsible for this? 
 
Sample answer: 
 
Antisocial behaviours are errant actions of a person that are considered to be harmful to society. 
This can be exhibited in different ways, such as violence and unfriendliness towards fellow 
human beings. A person becomes a criminal due to various reasons. People hailing from broken 
homes, children raised by step-mothers, orphaned children abandoned by the society are some 
examples. The community is to be blamed for people committing crimes. In the forthcoming 
paragraphs, I shall examine this in detail. 
 
Primarily, people become criminals because of circumstantial pressures. In situations where 
parents have divorced and found different partners, the children born to the earlier partner may 
be neglected. Such children envy the attention and care given to their siblings and eventually 
develop hatred towards society in later life. Secondly, some people join terrorist groups. This is 
primarily due to unemployment and people with moral anger towards society. Unemployed 
people engage in unlawful activities due to social estrangement, while the highly educated 
people become terrorists due to religious fanaticism and dogmas of faith they have developed 
from young.
