Daru Theory Of Punishment

Hassan is hurt and frustrated by the way Amir treats him after the betrayal, but he never blames Amir for the way he acted. He never forgets about Amir and remains his faithful servant and loving friend until his he is killed by Taliban soldiers, even though Amir and Hassan's paths

I am going to write an essay on the retributivist approach and reductivist approach on punishment, comparing and contrasting both theories. To start off I will talk about the retributivism theory and the belief that an offender should be punished based upon the severity of the offense. I will them move onto just deserts which Is a modern retributivist theory which only focuses on crimes that have already committed making sure individuals get there just deserts for doing wrong. Next I will write about the reductivist theory which is all about trying to deter individuals from committing a crime or reoffending. Jeremy Bentham had a huge impact on reductivism believing if pain was to outweigh pleasure then it would deter individuals and overall nobody would have the desire to commit a crime as they are aware of the consequences they would have to face. Moving on to deterrence will talk about the two different types of deterrence; individual and general deterrence. Individual deterrence focuses on stopping individuals from reoffending whereas general deterrence is about deterring individuals who have never even committed an offence from turning to crime. Once writing about both retributivism and reductivism I will start to compare and contrast both theories, looking at the similarities and differences. Finally I will give my own opinion on the theories and which theory I believe is best, talking about how retributivist and reductivist punishments are different and the good and

The book Kite Runner follows the story of a kid named Amir that experienced both loyalty and betrayal. First off, the story starts following the rough and unwilling childhood of Amir when he lived in Afghanistan. He lived with Hassan, who was actually his half brother, and his father, Baba. Throughout the story, it explains different chapters and events throughout Amir’s childhood and adulthood, which rounded him as a person, and made him more dynamic. Three main characters throughout the story, including Amir, exemplified the contrast between betrayal and loyalty.

After he nearly convinces himself Hassan is “not [his] friend,” Amir is ashamed for neglecting his best friend in pursuit of his own safety. By portraying Amir’s guilt, the author displays Amir’s conflicted feelings for Hassan—the person who he has always treated “like a brother”—thus highlighting his inability to be decisive. Hosseini seems to believe that, although humans make mistakes, the following guilt can strengthen a person’s relationships in the long-term, provided they avoid making similar mistakes in the future. Later in the story, Amir and Hassan have a second encounter with Assef when Hassan is raped, but Amir simply watches the scene as a bystander, traumatized and scared to stand up for his friend. Amir continues to carry the burden of guilt for the rest of the novel and expresses his frustration by attempting to cut ties with Hassan. In chapter 9, Amir frames Hassan for stealing by placing his birthday money and his watch under Hassan’s mattress. When Baba finds out that Hassan had “stolen” from Amir—as Amir had planned— Hassan shockingly admits to stealing the watch and money, even though he was not responsible. However, Baba forgives Hassan, leaving Amir in a

Daru was put in that spot because of the decisions he made himself. First of all, Balducci ordered him to turn in the prisoner but he was so caught up with his own cultural beliefs that he might have forgotten the fact that the Arab prisoner killed his own cousin. That is something you cant just let somebody go for, its murder. Daru was very conflicted on what was right or wrong, because he was on technically on both sides of the war that was going on. The prisoner killed his own cousin and that conduct violates the Arabic moral code and the prisoner admit that what he did was wrong. Daru then feels that to judge the Arab by European codes of morality is wrong. But, on the other hand, Daru has respect for the colonial law, “That man’s stupid crime revolted him, but to hand him over was contrary to honor; just thinking of it made hiM bill with humiliation” (Camus). In the end, he let the prisoner choose his path which lead him to the situation he is in. Based on the many thoughts and beliefs he had on culture and freedom, his choice of letting the prisoner choose is what is responsible his life threatening

The beginning of Amir’s journey causes him to feel guilty enough that he causes a chain reaction where he inflicts more cruelty upon himself and others. Amir and Hassan used to live a simple life with the biggest negative in Amir’s life being the fact that his father liked Hassan more. Right after a kite tournament that Amir won, Hassan goes to run the kite for Amir, and Amir finds him being abused by Assef in an alley. Amir decides to do nothing and feels guilty about it for most of his life. Although the initial cruelty is inflicted upon Hassan, it is Amir who is hurt the most. His guilt causes him to inflict cruelty upon Hassan in order to cause Hassan to “give [Amir] the punishment [he] craved, so maybe [he]’d finally sleep at night” (92). Amir’s cruelty leads Hassan and his father to walk out of Amir’s life, leaving Amir and his father, Baba,

¨For you, a thousand times over.¨ A quote that demonstrates the utmost loyalty and devotion. Many people may never know the feeling of complete love and appreciation toward another, however The Kite Runner provides an excellent example of the strength of two boys’ friendship. Hassan and Amir are two Afghan boys whose relationship endures the challenges of rape, lies, and death, but prevails in the end. The power of true friendship between Amir and Hassan is demonstrated in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner.

    Amir had been disloyal to Hassan his whole life. He did not stand up for Hassan when he needed it most and Amir even ran away when he could have helped Hassan. Amir constantly tortured Hassan as he tried to make Hassan eat dirt, throw fruit at him, or even when he tried to get Hassan to punch him. Amir wanted Hassan to stoop to his level and beat him up, so his guilt would disappear.

When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Sohrab, he watches the cleric accusing a man and woman of adultery. The Taliban, numb to the horrific screams of the woman as she is thrown in her grave, derive pleasure from pelting stones at her. Forced to silently watch the hateful scene, people like Amir cannot dare to object or they risk being killed. Unable to do or say anything, Amir watches those lecherous animals kicking the dead couple’s bodies barbarically. Internalizing this incident, Amir realizes that the only way to save Sohrab is by confronting oppressors. A Talib official now, Assef is responsible for killing Hazaras and for sexually abusing Sohrab. Reminded of the same scene where Assef bullies Amir and Hassan, Amir this time fights instead of staying silent to Assef’s tantrums. Fortunately with Sohrab’s help on the slingshot, Amir is able to defeat Assef and atone for his past mistakes of abandoning his half-brother, Hassan. Taking the initiative to right a wrong, Amir defies the bystander effect thus breaking the cycle of immoral acts. Knowing that he cannot change Assef’s brutish ways by mere words, Amir soughts violence but saves Sohrab. Assef, a bigot, believes that Pashtuns can show their power over others through

In Harper Lee’s historical novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the main protagonist, Atticus Finch, delivers his final argumentative response to not only prove the innocence of Tom Robinson, who was allegedly convicted of raping Mayella Ewell, but to address the inequality and immoral code of conduct against African-Americans faced in society. Finch’s purpose is to publicise the unethical treatment blacks receive from whites and to show that they should not be the culprit of society due to their race. He adopts a passionate and sincere tone in order to emphasize the discrimination African-Americans face in society to the people in the courtroom.

The four goals of punishment in the American criminal justice system are retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation. The purpose of the four goals of punishment is to ensure that the sentence the criminal is receiving is reasonable and just. It is difficult to satisfy all of the components to the highest degree for all criminals. All of the goals serve a different purpose and are significant in their own way, but when combined together they create a very complex sentencing policy for criminals.

Amir resents his choice to be a coward when Hassan is raped. His guilt is immediate and it gnaws at him. A few days after Hassan was assaulted, Amir already feels guilt and resentment inside him. “’I [Amir]

Punishment is defined as “the infliction or imposition of a penalty as retribution for an offense” (“Punishment”). Some prominent theories of punishment include retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and the moral education theory. Although retribution, deterrence, and rehabilitation are all crucial components of punishment justification, independently the theories have weaknesses that avert the moral rationalization of punishment. I believe that Jean Hampton’s moral education theory is the best justification for punishment because it yields the most sympathetic and prudent reasons for punishment, while simultaneously showing that punishment cannot be justified by solely

Everyone's dreaming of living in a perfect society. Who would not want? A society in which each and everyone has reach the epitome and perfection of life; a society that is able to construct a social system based on reason, justice, and the unity - a society that everybody is dreaming off. It is the purpose of this paper to examine and analyze the condition of a certain society who "achieved" the Utopian society and briefly explore the effect and ethicality to the man, and a society in which it belongs. It will be discussed in no. parts, as follows: I.) Basic Summary; II.) Characters; III.) Settings; and IV.) Ethicality of a Utopian Society.

Theories of why we punish offenders are crucial to the understanding of criminal law; in fact it is not easy to define legal punishment, however one thing is clear within the different theories of punishment is that they all require justification.[1] There are many theories of punishment yet they are predominantly broken down into two main categories. The utilitarian theory seeks to punish offenders to discourage, or “deter,” future wrong doing. The retributive theory seeks to punish offenders because they deserve to be punished due to their behaviour upsetting the balance of society[2].
