  In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died at heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging out the “Going Out of Business” sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for pots and plants to place in the reception areas in the offices.  “I don’t know anything about plants,” she said, “I’m sure in a few weeks they’ll all be dead.” While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction underway. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By six o’clock that evening, I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now increasing rapidly, and one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.

Crime is increasing worldwide. There is every reason to believe the (36)trend will continue through the next few decades.

Crime rates have always been high in multicultural industrialized societies such as the United States. But a new (37)phenomenon has appeared on the world (38)scene-rapidly rising crime rates in nations that previously reported few (39)offenses. Street crimes such as robbery, rape, (41)murder and auto theft are clearly rising, (41)particularly in eastern European countries such as Hungary and in western European nations such as the United Kingdom.

What is driving this crime (42)explosion? There are no simple answers. Still, there’re certain conditions (43)associated with rising crime. Increasing heterogeneity of populations, greater cultural pluralism, higher immigration, democratization of governments, (44)changing national borders, greater economic growth, and the lack of accepted social ideas of right and wrong.

These conditions are increasing observable around the world. For instance, cultures that were previously isolated and homogeneous(同种类的) such as Japan, Denmark, and Greece (45)are now facing the sort of cultural variety that has been common in America for most of its history.

Multiculturalism can be a rewarding, enriching experience, but it can also lead to a clash of values. Heterogeneity in societies will be the rule in the 21st century, and (46)failure to recognize and plan for such diversity can lead to serious crime problems.
