Achieving justice

there is no absolute regime that has no drawbacks. Each regime has its own strengths and weaknesses, but which is more compatible with this age, which is a more appropriate way to settle peace and justice, and which is a better economical solution a philosopher king or tyranny democracy? For the sake of justice, people most have the power to rule themselves. This is what Democracy proponents believe. They believe democracy is the key to a successful nation no matter it is a tyranny democracy or any other

have both? Why do we even bother with justice? To an average person, I’d argue that the value of justice could rival or is even undermined by the value of a consistent Wi-Fi signal. This is no jab at modern consumerism, but instead an analogy to identify how commonly vague the definition of justice is to a common individual. However, to Plato and his Republic, the value of Justice both rivals and harmonies with all that’s important, and all that is “good”. Justice, according to Plato, represents both

Louise Erdrich presents the issue of justice and of the right manner in which to seek justice. Due to the legalities associated with proper jurisdiction, and a lack of solid evidence, the law is unable to provide justice for Geraldine. Joe’s decision to bring about justice for his mother is selfless, but it is ultimately immoral. While it is respectable that Joe seeks justice for Geraldine, he does so in such a way that somewhat lowers the value of that justice. By killing Linden, Joe lowers the level

Republic: Book II,” Plato attempts to make the distinction between justice and injustice. Plato tries to establish a difference how justice and injustice works in the soul. He gives the options of 3 classes: Harmless pleasures and enjoyment, knowledge and health, and the care of the sick and money-making. Plato then proceeds to explain the origin and nature of justice and injustice. He makes the claim that those who are just, practice justice against their own will. Lastly, he says the life of the unjust

In Robert Nozick’s piece, “Justice as Entitlement”, he discusses the framework of what a just acquisition of an object consists of and what would be considered a just transfer of said object between persons. He also provides guidelines for occurrences of unjust distributions and how to appropriately rectify them. The primary grounds of Nozick’s philosophy involve justice in acquisition or holdings. Essentially, humans have the right to own property if they invest their own manual labor in producing

So far, all of the texts that I have read for my seminar class surrounds the questioning of what is justice. There is this text that defines: justice is the sacrifice of one soul for the happiness of others. That text is called: “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”. Omelas city can be seen as the utopia where there is no suffering except one single human. The cost of that utopia is the suffering of a single child. I could say that the child is sacrificed as a “vessel” to hold all the evil, and take

Before going into a deliberation on why Clytaemnestra is not a victim of injustice, a definition of justice must first be established. Justice is the correct decision by a higher court that achieves equilibrium for a wrongdoing, with a victim being compensated for a crime that an aggressor has performed. This does not just require the proof of an aggressor – it also requires proof that the one who claims to be a victim is in fact such. In The Eumenides, the Ghost of Clytaemnestra attempts to establish

Justice and Injustice The concept of justice and injustice varies between all beings, some may believe that justice equals equality, for example, an eye for an eye is the thinking of many, but many don't know the full quote, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.(Gandhi)” Also some may believe justice remains in the hands of God and only he may punish the guilty for harming the innocent, in the Bible it states “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written:

"Justice: Just behaviour or treatment." (English Dictionary) In the Shakespearean play, King Lear, justice is seen as an essential measure to achieve a stabilized society. Without justice chaos would erupt, crimes would increase, and abusive power would occur. Justice serves a civilized and balanced society. Firstly, chaos can be so unpredictable but somehow very effective. In Act IV Albany states, "If that the heavens do not their visible spirits / Send quickly down to tame these vile offences

world? In the modern world, the law is one of the most visible symbols of power and justice. However, that power is often abused for selfish gain without considering the harm being caused to others. In that sense, law and corruption are two sides of the same coin. The incidents in the novel Montana 1948 are majorly influenced by abuse of power by one person and his family to their advantage.
