In The Oresteian Trilogy there is a very apparent theme of injustice throughout the plays. Injustice is unlawful or unethical acts that are not treated or punished the correct way. Integrity and fairness are what I believe have the most impact on the way a person will read and react to injustice. Integrity is the ability to be truthful and honorable to a set of morals that each person grows up to believe. Making a decision without having bias towards a side would considered fair. Clarkson, a prestigious school, is still prone to white supremacy. Being able to teach students these values, integrity and fairness, would lead to a stop to the racism in the school. This personally is and will continue to keep me from getting involved in racial incidents and assist in stopping incidents that I see. Integrity is what every doctor is expected to have. They must diagnose every patient honestly giving them the correct information about themselves and their surroundings. There will be the doctor that is looking for money or in fear of what happens when the truth comes out. Dr. Richard in The Plague is put to the test of his integrity when both Dr. Rieux and Dr. Castel come to him telling him it seems like there is a plague spreading. Rather than telling the public immediately he is afraid of what would happen in reaction to the plague. While people are questioning the deathly sickness spreading he knows but is scared of chaos. Giving out such incoherent information the plague
Integrity isn’t a black and white definition, one may think they are doing what is right based off of their own conscience. Different values allow people to have different interpretations of integrity, so multiple “integrities” must exist. One can have passionate feelings about a situation that is viewed as unethical while someone, else can have strong integrity for a case that is seen as moral. However, there are certain qualities that show the strength of the integrity no matter the situation. These qualities are present in the main character’s actions in To Kill a Mockingbird, a historical fiction by Harper Lee. In this book, the Finches, especially Atticus, are faced with the racist society of Maycomb, Alabama because of their opposing moral values. Similarly, in the Power of One, another historical fiction by Bryce Courtenay, PK also goes against a racist society. Everyone around him is taught to dislike the African Americans, however, since he was once in their position when he was younger, experiencing racism, he felt equality between everyone. He built a school against the views of everyone else and didn’t care if he got in trouble for it. Both of their sacrifices are in pursuit of justice and equality and they both disregard the consequences that accompany their actions. Through these books and the character’s actions, an interpretation of integrity can be devised. Integrity is defined as persistently following one’s high ethical and moral standards, regardless of the racist society's pressures and the repercussions one’s opposition leads to.
The phenomenon of culling spikes on high fence ranches has been researched intensively for the past fifty years with good arguments on both sides. However, culling spikes may be a little too extreme since they can become a marketable animal in the future. Allowing them to mature is essential to see what they can be before considering them a cull. Culling spikes in certain areas can potentially decrease the density of a herd in arid environments where fawn crops are erratic. Nutrition of the doe is equally important as the buck in improving herd genetic quality. Therefore, the culling of spikes is not necessary to improve the genetic quality of a herd, but to give the spike an extra year of development to allow him to catch up with his genetic
Today in the United States a convicted criminal can lose their basic rights because of a simple drug charge. No longer will they be a free man or woman, but someone under control of the government. They lose their rights to vote and serve on juries which can then disincentive them from attempting to be a law abiding, citizen since they know they will be permanently labeled as second class. This legalized discrimination is then be paired with tactics like inaccessible parole officers, wage garnishing, and unwarranted stop and frisks. These actions can prevent former criminals from buying basic necessities, meeting their parole officers in a timely fashion and can ultimately cause them to end up in the penal system once again. After reading this work I can see that the current American Justice institution has been
Mlk said “There are just and unjust laws” When he said this he was risking a lot. People may have said “what makes his the decider of just and unjust laws?” To contrast that he also says “In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law as the rabid segregationist would do.” Mlk was risking a lot When he did all this but he used his circumstances to his advantage and was able to help make the public see how unjust the laws of segregation were.
‘Ethical theories are the rules and principles that determine right and wrong for any given situation’ according to Crane and Matten (2004:76). Its contribution is either relativists which is what is right or wrong relying on the moral norms of our society such as, our culture or absolutists which is deciding what is right or wrong regarding the act, for instance, murder. However, absolutists are divided into Consequentialists (Teleological) which consists of Utilitarianism and ethical egoism and the Non-consequential (Deontological) which consists of divine command theories, Kant’s ethics of duty, virtue ethics, justice approach and the rights approach.
Questions about truth and untruth in reality infest all human correspondence. They are brought up in families, clubs, work places, houses of worship, and even within healthcare. Honesty is very important to patients. Integrity of a healthcare professional is also very important to doctors and all healthcare professionals and jobs could be lost if doctors deceive and omit information to patients under any circumstance (Drane, n.d.). Regardless of any situation, at no time should a healthcare professional use deceit or dishonesty when caring for a
There were many issues involving this case. The first being the dispatcher failed to give an accurate depiction of the scene and did not give the full description of the suspect to the responding officers, Garmback and Loehmann. They were unaware that Rice was a child. This led the Officers to believe that they were dealing with an active shooter, so when they arrived at the scene they pulled up within feet of Rice while he was seated, running over a curb. Officer Garmback failed to follow proper tactics when driving the vehicle and violated department policy by not telling dispatchers he arrived at the scene. When the police car made it to the scene Loehmann jumped out and fired his weapon close range. Both officers failed to render first aid to Rice, they just stood over his body and watched. This left people to wonder if the cops have been properly trained to assess a situation and follow the proper procedures the department have in place.
Throughout our childhood, we have been taught to follow the rules and not disobey. It has been instilled that disobeying is wrong and a consequential punishment will be enforced. However, being disobedient is the solution to many problems that we face today. Sometimes, breaking the rules can help change how others view our society and allow rules to be bendable. I believe in Oscar Wilde’s observation when he states, “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.”
Though the concept of social injustice is universal in nature, the experience varies with each person. Factors like a person’ race, or gender can further influence the severity of the injustice; victims caught in the overlap between discriminations often go unrecognized by the law and society. Many people recognize the names Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Tamir Rice as African Americans who were murdered by local police. But names like Michelle Cusseaux, Tanish Anderson, and Meagan Hockaday often receive less feedback even though they are also murdered African Americans. The only distinction between the sets of names is gender. Even within racial injustice, discrimination is present between genders as some cases get national
Everyone at some point in there has felt they were treated unjust by someone else; its apart of life. Unjust situations can happen any where from any one whether it be someone of higher authority or from a peer. Most of my experiences have been minuscule and the unjust treatment came from peers of mine. I have also seen others being treated unjust this instance I have seen mistreatment from peers and figures of authorities.
The entire experience completely changed how everyone in my family view the unjust system and it brought me to the sharp and sad realization that once someone is in their cross hairs, you are guilty regardless of the truth. All of that could have been spared had the false allegations been properly investigated. The overzealous district attorney was seeking a promotion and only saw the truth as a threat to her conviction percentage, she bullied and threatened our family attempting to get him to sign a plea deal. The sad truth is we live in a world where everyone has an agenda. This toxic problem requires everyone to take off their rose-colored glasses and work together to create legal

How can an injustice be changed? First, one must have the knowledge of the injustice. Global climate change is an injustice because it brings damage and harm to animal, human, and environmental habitats. “Global climate change affects Earth’s capacity to sustain life”. Global climate change refers to the alteration of the Earth’s atmosphere temperature (Glossary). Utilitarianism is a theory to find alternatives to combat global climate change. Utilitarianism focuses on the positives influences that come to the greatest number of people (bus dic). To observe a successful response and the likelihood of success one will need to be aware of the objectives to look for. Also, my solution for changing the way the world deals with global climate change and the reasoning will be discussed.
‘faculty-virtues’ such as perception, intuition and memory in virtue reliabilism, that are necessary for the physician, in order to be able to critically appraise the “best” evidence available that can be applied to a clinical case. Moreover, physicians must possess moral virtues – the emotional and behavioral dispositions helping them respond appropriately to practical situations – such as ‘trait-virtues’ like conscientiousness, open-mindedness and thoroughness in virtue responsibilism, in order to respond ethically to medical situations, and be able to utilise their virtues to judge clinical situations with clarity and sensitivity to patient needs.
Over the decades, the concept of justice has been continually evolving. This is occurring based upon different moral or legal interpretations. Evidence of this can be seen with observations from Burke (2011) who said, "Few things are of more importance to a society than its concept of justice. This is because it is justice that provides criterion for the legitimate use of force. In the name of justice people are detained, arrested, handcuffed, put on trial and punished. This concept is used to provide every society with some kind of social order. Over the last 200 years, a revolution has taken place with these principles. Our idea of it is what we employ, when dealing with ordinary individuals in daily life including: making agreements, paying bills, resolving disputes and putting criminals in jail. This is a concept that is as old as recorded history and it is familiar to people everywhere. What makes it so unique is that these ideas are constantly changing which focuses on society as a whole and how people are interacting with each other. " (Burke)
