Why Is Julius Caesar Willing To Feel Pain With Patience

““It’s not a question of whether you will hurt, or of how much you will hurt; it’s a question of what you will do, and how well you will do it, while pain has her wanton way with you.”””

In Rachel Buchan's article titled "Who killed Kalief Browder", she grabs the attention of the readers by the opening paragraph describing the date and cause of death of Kalief Browder. He was a 16-year-old, African American male, who was wrongfully accused of stealing a backpack while on his way home from a party. He was taken to one of the nations cruelest Penitentiary for three years.There he was mentally and physically abused- then placed in solitary confinement so he can reflect on his actions. After he served for three years, when he was released he wasn't the same anymore. He was struggling with mental issues that he decisded to take his life anf hang homself .

Torture is something that is known as wrong internationally. Torture is “deliberate, systematic or wanton infliction of physical or mental suffering by one or more persons acting on the orders of authority, to force a person to yield information, to confess, or any other reason” (World Medical Association, 1975, pg.1). There is a general consensus that there is a right to be free from any kind of torture as it can be found in many different human rights treaties around the world. The treaties show that all of the thoughts about torture are pointing away from the right to torture someone no matter what the case

“I love the name of honor, more than I fear death,” a quote said by one of the most famous Roman leaders named Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was born in July 100 BC and he died on March 15, 44B.C. Caesar was a general, politician, and a dictator. Caesar was loved by many people for guiding them and providing safety for them, but he was also hated by a countless number of people. That hate ended up in him being murdered. He gave Rome hope for a better future and a promise of new land, jobs, and wealth. Caesar accomplished many things for his country like win many victories, developed the Julian calendar, and redistributed land to the poor. He used many different tactics and strategies to win his wars. Through brilliant military tactics, Julius Caesar, ruler of Rome from 49 B.C. to 44 B.C., guided the people of Italy and Rome to achieve many victories, allowing him to become a powerful ruler, hero, and inspiration and leaving a legacy that still shapes the world today.

The article studies the correlation between violence, mainly suicide, and the effects of prison overcrowding as it relates to prisoners, the economy and communities outside of prison. The author uses national data on prisons in the U.S in order to show the consequences such as suicide that prison overcrowding causes. The author believes that prison overcrowding is a pivotal part of prison which deprives prisoners of having a fair life in prison which results in depression then

The year is 44 BC, and the day is a day in which infamy shall live in Rome forever. Markus Brutus throws the killing blow-in the groins- of his very own father. As Brutus prepares to deliver an explanatory speech his enemy lurks in the shadows. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Brutus gives and empathetic speech showcasing his remorse and sincerity.

Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.

According to Joycelyn M. Pollock, torture is defined as the deliberate infliction of violence and, through violence, severe mental and/or physical suffering upon individuals. Torture, according to Christopher Tindale as quoted in Torture and the Ticking bomb by Bob Brecher,

Justice is often found after a situation has occurred and more times than not it is seen through the eyes of revenge. Marc Antony, the main character, partakes in this reality by trying to get revenge on Julius Caesar’s, Marc Antony’s best friend, death. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare literally and symbolically delves into the choices that one makes when seeking revenge in the name of justice.

"Experience is the teacher of all things.Veni, Vidi, Vici. (I came, I saw, I conquered.) It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience." - Julius Caesar. On March 15, 44 BC Julius Caesar was assassinated by his own senators next to the Theatre of Pompey. He was assassinated during a meeting with his senators, he was scheduled to leave for war on March 18. Julius's murders were his own senators and even his own protegè Marcus Brutus. These people plotted against Caesar because of a conspiracy and because they were angry that the new prospect kept getting orders from Caesars underlines. The assassination of Julius Caesar was unjust because he was a strong political leader and he fought for the people of Rome; however some believe that he only wanted power and to be a dictator.

Torture (Latin torquere, “to twist”), in law, infliction of severe bodily pain either as punishment, or to compel a person to confess to a crime, or to give evidence in a judicial proceeding. Among primitive peoples, torture has been used as a means of ordeal and to punish captured enemies. Examination by torture, often called the “question,” has been used in many countries as a judicial method. It involves using instruments to extort evidence from unwilling witnesses.

First and foremost, Julius Caesar’s tragic flaw was that he was too arrogant. Which because of that lead to his death by the conspirators consisting of his closest politicians and generals. At the very minute finishing the book, I immediately thought that Julius Caesar should have taken the crown the three times he was offered it. However, he chose not to so he could gain more of a better opinion to the eyes of the people in Rome. Which I believe from the text of the play is how Julius Caesar intended to play his actions. Based on the reading, Brutus and Cassius don’t believe that Julius Caesar was the king to the throne. Brutus feared for his people that they would “Choose Caesar for their king.” (Shakespeare 36). Brutus and Cassius believed

Torture, (n.), the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or to force them to do or say something, or for the pleasure of the person inflicting the pain. After reading “Torture” by Holocaust survivor, Jean Amery, it is clear that the above definition of torture does not provide an honest connotative definition for the act and effects of torture. Amery speaks about torture from his own personal experiences in both Auschwitz and Buchenwald, providing witness to the dehumanization of Jews. In “Torture”, Jean Amery truthfully depicts torture as an unimaginable terror, in which one loses sense of self, human dignity, and trust in the world, while gaining a haunted future.

Ronald D. Cretlinsten contends that torturers acquire the ability to cope with the moral dilemmas of inflicting pain upon and murdering their fellow humans primarily through the processes of “routinization” and “dehumanization”, and also through the notion of “authorization” (191). With such as the case, an individual adept in the art of torture would necessarily have learned to be cruel, however, that argument neglects the very reality that many engaged in such activities are intrinsically perverse, and in fact willingly and happily do harm to others.

Additionally, Roberts and Jackson criticize Bonta and Gendreau by contending that their ramifications regarding suicide risk are considerably misrepresented. Bonta and Gendreau 's estimates of suicide risk due to long-term imprisonment are solely founded on suicides perpetrated during confinement (Jackson & Roberts, 1991, p. 559). According to Roberts and Jackson, however, the complication with this is that neither Bonta and Gendreau nor anyone else has studied suicide risk of previous offenders who are no longer in jail (Jackson & Roberts, 1991, p. 559). The qualitative approach that Roberts and Jackson follow here is taking all variables into consideration. Qualitative research involves no ruling out variables and ensuring that they are all considered (Palys, 2014, p. 16). Evidently, Bonta and Gendreau do not employ this qualitative method as they do not deduce that it was imperative to incorporate this variable into their study. Roberts and Jackson also employ the qualitative approach of using verbal reports rather than quantifying responses (Palys, 2014, p. 16). To elucidate,
