Is it right to blame American culture for crime in the UK?

[King of londoN]

I don't but I hear it all the time people saying its American culture they see in the media and imitate making them commit crimes and kill. Rather than find the real cause they just overlook it blame the parents of American culture.

That's total ignorance to blame another culture from another country for a crime problem.* So sad!

 

[Ed the Sophomore]

People seem to love to blame Americans for everything today.

How pathetic and childish. They should blame themselves.

Yes i dont want you to put me on lock down

Nike? is an american brand?

 

[yecalrae]

Ha! No...

LoL That's funny.

 

[graceyg241984]

why not anytime something goes wrong they blame America for it instead of being truthful with themselves and take the blame for their own actions.

 

[Bruce McDonald]

I blame English culture.

 

[Nadia]

No.

It's right to blame the person themselves.

A few rotten apples don't make the tree rotten.

Lol, I hate when people blame the media... It's so much easier for people to point fingers.

I think more people just need to beat their kids... Spare the rod, spoil the child. When you start young, they'll act right when they're older.

Not at all. I used to play cops and robbers as a kid, inspired by American gangster films, but I didn't became a robber. If kids in the UK (where I live) had a proper moral grounding (like I had) they wouldn't do these things. This generation of teenagers has been failed badly by their parents, the government and society in general. Why is everyone so afraid of them? I'm not and often have cause to tell them off in the street for littering, swearing, fighting, and letting their dogs run wild. They listen to people who actively challenge them. They want boundaries, but get nothing from their parents, the government or a society that is afraid of them. If the were nagged 24/7 for the smallest thing then they'd respect their elders. But they're not. They get away with far too much through fear.

People are responsible for their own actions regardless of what is in the media. It is utter bullshiit to blame the media for crime. But it is convenient if u want to get out of being blamed for your actions.
