Justice Is Unfair Or Unjust?

The theme of this paper is, the discrimination in courtrooms. The reason for this theme is because, once you listen to the 3rd stanza of this poem you can tell what it is and how the system is in operation to imprison African Americans, and it will never change. The paper will focus on these few topics, a corrupt law system, bias judges and perjury from peers. As a matter of fact, in the poem “Mystery of Iniquity” the writer Lauryn Hill examines discrimination in courtrooms to illustrate, a corrupt law system, bias judges, and perjury.

Many of the most important aspects of and decisions about social organization hinge on an individual or society’s conception of justice. Because this conception of justice has tremendous influence over the way societies are structured, political theorists interested in understanding and improving society place great importance on understanding and articulating the nature of justice. While most of the political theorists we have read in class have proposed definitions of justice, none of them sufficiently incorporate the many dimensions of justice while remaining specific enough to allow for relatively consistent distinctions between the just and unjust. To balance these competing demands, I propose that justice is the impartial ordering of

In The Republic, the great philosopher Plato attempts to reveal through the character and dialogues of Socrates that justice is better when it is the good for which men must strive for, regardless of whether they could be unjust and still be rewarded. His method is to use dialectic, the asking and answering of questions. This method leads the audience from one point to another, supposedly with indisputable logic by obtaining agreement to each point before going on to the next, therefore, building an argument.

A client tells you that her boss is treating her unfairly at work because of her criminal record and probation or parole status. Your client is afraid of being fired and having her probation or parole revoked. What do you do?

A famous court case Plessey v. Ferguson ruled that separate but equal was constitutional (Documents I, 59-61). Therefore, the Civil Rights Act was in a way void leading to oppression in the treatment of African Americans creating segregation. Above all, Frederick Douglass in an Address expresses being left out as a man of color and being approached as inferior. Regardless of suffering through the inequality he is hopeful that all African Americans will one day be seen as an equal and not let a race be superior to the rest of the nation (Documents II, 20-25). Altogether the Redemption Period through the early 1900’s tore down African Americans, yet they remained

Manipulating the judicial system to only serve “injustices” against whites allowed discrimination to go unpunished, even with undeniable evidence to prove innocence of blacks or guilt of whites. Prejudice and fear made lawyers fail to properly represent their clients, while the slightest thought of black guilt was enough to bring black men into a cycle of convict

Through the study this term of the central text, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and related texts, films Rabbit Proof Fence by Phillip Noyce and In the Name of the Father by Jim Sheridan, my understanding of the concept of justice, or what constitutes justice, has altered considerably. We all think we know what justice is, or what it should be. In Australian colloquial terms, it is the principle of a “fair go” for everyone. In a perfect world, everyone is treated fairly. No-one is subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, sex or disability. But the reality is that the world we inhabit is far from perfect, human beings are by their very natures

Justice is supposed to be blind or, in other words, not play favorites. In this novel, it's fair to say that the justice system by no means works in that way, should it work in any way at all. Examples of the many ways that the institutions, and the people working for them, supposedly to uphold the law and see that justice is conducted fairly, have failed the black community frequently as a direct result of racial prejudice can be found in the stories told by the old men as they are questioned by the Sheriff, Mapes. The stories told are set, not within the era of transition the tellers are currently in, but in an earlier era of white supremacy.

“Here comes the story of the Hurricane”-Rubin Carter—the boxer, the man—who had justice stacked against him (Dylan, Bob). The question: What is justice? According to whose point of view? In the 1960s, were blacks treated fairly? Case in point—Rubin “Hurricane” Carter who was finally released from jail after 19 years of being wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he never committed.

Our justice system regularly makes decisions that would be universally considered just and in the very same day makes decisions that are universally considered unjust. Based on this, justice must be more about the intention. For the sake of argument imagine a judge who intends with every fiber of his being to be just, makes a decision that in the end turns out to be unjust. I would say this man could still be considered just. Regardless of the outcome, the intention should determine the question of just or unjust. If that same judge admits his mistake and does his best to rectify the situation, he would certainly be considered just. On the other hand if he realizes the mistake and does nothing then he is most unjust. Human beings are incapable of unfailing justice, but when you intend to be just, you should then be considered a just person. So justice must be the intention of the person or entity to pursue truth and fairness.

How Justice Works In the novel, The Known World by Edward P. Jones, right and wrong is determined in a way that is much like ours. Society determines between right or wrong and those people in society are mostly white people who own land or slaves. Lawmakers control what people in society can and cannot do, but sometimes laws aren’t enough to stop people from doing as they please. Some exceptions are made such as Augustus being allowed to stay in Virginia after 12 months and being able to claim his family members as part of what he owns.

There are many types of justice, but the only type that is black-and-white is lawful justice under a government. Justice under law in the United States is clearly defined and, for the most part, it is proven. So if justice is doing what is right according to the law, then without lawful justice, all other forms of justice and fairness cannot exist.

What is justice? is it the same as revenge? I personally think justice is not the same as revenge,yes revenge might make you feel better but so will justice just in a different way. Revenge is like when that person maybe kills somebody in your family and by getting revenge you kill them yes it is a little extreme, but it could happen. Now justice is you just waiting it out and actually finding out who did it and that's not even a 100% positive but it would be better than you just killing somebody, back to justice, justice is when the person that killed somebody you cared about gets taken to court and gets his sentence which could also reflect in that person dying from the death penalty, or they would just sit in jail for the rest of their

Many people don’t get justice for their love ones just because of race. Individual these day go through a lot of injustices because of their skin color. Most color people rights are being violated in front of a judge and out in the real world. Justice is being able to have a fair trial in front of a judge or a law enforcement. Having rights to have a lawyer and be heard. Justice

If you could change one thing that you think is unfair in society, what would it be? Would you eliminate government? Would your choice be motivated by current economic situations, the laws practiced daily or something toward social equality? Our society is riddled with mental illness, drug addiction, obesity, loss of community, imprisonment, unequal opportunity and terrible wellbeing for children. A sense of inequality is instilled and thus the question of what is fair versus unfair is brought to the surface.
