According to Harvard's student handbook, people who conduct the hazing practice will be held responsible for what happens even though it happens to a lot of people, which indicates it id a standard process (Preventing Hazing at Harvard). People will argue that others want to be victims of hazing because it is apart of the educational culture and most individuals had been through it (the Hazing Reader). Furthermore, some believe that it is no big deal until someone becomes seriously injured or found dead especially when they can buy their way out of trouble, which makes them sinners.

History

Throughout history, rich people have proven that they are sinners because they tried to stop others' religious beliefs. For example, Hitler was a powerful and rich man who created the Holocaust because he did not want people to be different from him. It is unfortunate that people are often mistreated for their beliefs. This has been apparent within the last century due to the fact that many as six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. From there, religious conflicts have continued in Ireland, the Middle East and in many other parts of the world. With that, it can be assumed that the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 are likely the result of religious conflicts. Those people who had created these horrible events were rich because it takes money to make things happen. When people use their riches for harm, they are considered sinners.

During slavery times, there were many discussions about expanding slavery, which many had mixed feelings about. For most slave owners, it would have been beneficial to keep slavery in tact. In order to own a slave, people had to be financial stable. For example, slave owners had incentives to preserve, extend, and safeguard the legal existence of slavery. This was due to the fact that they thought that slavery could be a viable form of economic organization in other sectors. The sectors were mining and railroad building (Rebels, Saints, and Sinners: Savannah's Rich History and Colorful Personalities). However, owning a slave was considered as a racist tact, which was going against civil rights. This is one of the reasons why northern voters shifted their votes to not to expand slavery since...

Even though there were those who were against slavery, there were many rich people who wanted to keep it established for their own benefit, which makes them sinners.
Conclusion

It can be concluded that money creates greed and power, which ultimately causes people to sin in order to satisfy themselves. When some people have access to more money, they believe it can give them power. In this essay, it has been proven that throughout history and modern day society, rich people have been sinners and will continue to be because they cannot learn the lesson that they are not above the law.

For example, there have been many scandals that the manager or CEO have been sent to jail because they stole million of dollars from their companies. To further prove the rich are sinners, rich children have the guts to make someone else suffer for their own pleasure because they believe that they buy their way out the trouble that they caused without facing the consequences. Through the media, it seems that rich people are not held responsible for their actions. The only form of punishment that they have is fines, community service, or a light jail sentence. For rich people Britney Spears, there is very little responsibility that she has to be accountable for (Dear Rich People). If it was anyone else, they would have been in jail, and not free to do whatever. From there, it is apparent that the richer a person is, they will commit some kind of crime, which makes them sinners.
