Bzzt. False. All “crime” is a sociological construct. In your second case, are there laws in some cultures that permit you to stab your neighbour such as in the case of “self defence”? Yes.
How the nuance of those laws are defined is a social, cultural, and political exercise in power.
- ltbarcly3 7y agoIt's not clear what you are even claiming, all ideas and concepts are 'creations' of humans, so you aren't saying anything? I mean 'the moon' is a construction of humans in so far as we identified it as an 'object' distinct from other 'objects', blah blah blah who cares. You intentionally changed my example of an unprovoked murder of a neighbor with the intent to steal their property to some other, totally different example that has no bearing on the debate. Congratulations, you're a hack. The question is whether humans have (at least some) consistent views across societies, or whether we are complete tabula rasa. This isn't even a serious debate anymore, clearly there are lots of consistent features that do not vary across any human society, and are even found among primates and other mammals such as dogs and whales and other social sea mammals.
