Bianca Ramirez Perspectives in Liberal Arts 12/2/22 For this assignment I have chosen the history and natural science lenses to look through and analyze the topic of justice. The history lens gave me the ability to learn about all different events in the past and present. In doing this, I got to see how justice had a different meaning during different cases and events. In the year 594 in ancient Greek, Solon was elected archon. With this power he did a lot of good for the people by settling a lot of financial situations. His goal was not so much to even the playing grounds but just that a minimum people were able to live and eat comfortably without going into debt and selling themselves or family to slavery. I have followed different events up until current events to show how history has had such an undeniable effect on justice overall. My second lens being the natural science lens was one thing I was truly ready to learn about. My grand interest in forensics and how it is used to obtain justice in so many cases worldwide is what enticed me to choose it. Going further with this project I will use more cases where forensics was used to close a case but as for right now, I will use an iconic one. Most people know of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, but what they do not know was how much labor was put into finding the man who did it. When they found the rifle, it had only a partial fingerprint on it. Using that one tiny piece of evidence thousands of individuals manually went through booklets with around fifty million different fingerprints analyzing until they would find James Earl Ray. Just this one case is crazy because now you can jump on a database and find a match with the snap of a finger.

In comparison these two lenses really complement each other. While researching both, I learned that the history lens is a way of seeing how we got from one point to another. History helps us to reflect on where we began and what did and did not work previously. Historically, justice was obtained differently, and the type has changed over the years. The natural science lens also has a lot of cause-and-effect aspects to it too. In science you do experiments, and each finding is something to look back on to understand how and why something did or did not work. While researching forensics over the years I have learned that there was a lot of trial and error. Although they are similar, they do have a few differences. With history in this case, they are investigating previous events and using this to tell the story of what has happened years before. The science lens is more exact, and the evidence used to help us grow is based off the experiments that have been run and documented. While researching I have learned the importance of these two lenses along with the other two. The more I investigate each lens I realize each one is just as important as the other. As far as the two lenses I chose I enjoyed diving into each one and learning all types of added information and events I had no clue ever happened. I look forward to continuing my research on lenses and being able to see the topic of justice from all different perspectives. Landmark United States Supreme Court Cases.
