Restorative justice is the modern day attempt to reach a condition close to this state and if implemented properly, it will be paramount in approaching justice with humanity and respect for all parties involved. Policy Description Albert Eglash first used the term restorative justice in the milieu of the criminal justice system in the 1950’s (Daniel W. Van Ness, 2014, p. 90).

A modern adaptation of Homer 's Odyssey – one of the most widely read ancient literary works in the world – Margaret Atwood 's novella, The Penelopiad, retells this classic story, this time from the perspective of Penelope, Odysseus ' wife, who spent ten long years waiting faithfully for him to return form the Trojan war, and is now lameting her life from the greek underworld, Hades.

Whilst Thrasymachus explains a very simple and easily understood view of justice, seeing it as the laws created by the rulers of a city, there is no input from anybody else (Lampert, 2010, p260) In my opinion, Glaucon has a much stronger view of justice, explaining that it is split into 3

Sadly, we live in an existence where righteousness has by no means truly transpired. Justice is something that everyone is entitled to and should be an essential part of any lawful system.

Option 3: Treachery/Justice Treachery and Justice In The Divine Comedy Dante’s Inferno is a very straight forward story of Dante’s story to work towards redemption with a very complicated narration. Dante explores the world of the afterlife in his poems with three different sections of hell, purgatory and paradise.

The two most important rules are justice and fairness. By definition, justice is the act of rewarding the good and punishing the bad , while fairness is treatment without discrimination. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, an innocent man is tried, and because of his race, is determined guilty. In an utopian society, freedom and justice stand side by side.
