How Does Justice Helps Us To Conquer Fear And Keep Hope Alive?

Improved Essays
Essential Questions:
How does having a belief (in something or someone) help us to conquer fear and keep hope alive? Having belief helps us to never give up and look on the bright side of things. Without having a belief in something then we don’t stand for anything and it helps to build character. For example, if someone believes in a religion it helps them to build and strengthen their morals by putting it to practice everyday. By putting these morals to practice, life could be happier and there would be no negativity occupying your mind or life. Moreover it can help conquer fear because in the Bible or any other religious Scriptures it states that men should not fear men, but should only fear God which influences us to be brave and that

Are we obliged (as a society) to rehabilitate criminals? Rehabilitation is possible if the person is surrounded by the right environment. Except as a society it is not required to help criminals return to their original state, being a human and having morals by helping others to get better is a requirement. I say this because if it was you needing help to get better you wouldn’t need the enter society to help you, by having just one person put a good influence on you is good enough.

What is justice? What is truth? How are justice and truth bound together? Justice or the first word just is another word for fair. Justice is obtaining as much fairness as you deserve based on your actions and the cause of why your actions happened. The truth is to tell everything how it is even if it hurts so it can show you can be trusted. Justice and truth are bonded together because based on how truthful you are you will be judged on how fair your punishment is.

    According to the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews, “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Heb. 11:1, NIV). People apply their faith for a range of reasons:some make use of their faith for material things, while others simply exert their faith to auricularly discern God’s voice. Faith gives us both a positive declaration and confidence. On the other hand, doubt causes both fear and equivocality. Hence, fear and faith cannot co-subsist.…

    I know that many people would fail, and have failed, to see that this is a possibility however I truly believe it is. Those who are convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison cannot truly rehabilitate. In order to be rehabilitated one must have a means to basic things such as a job, housing, and education. When someone is in jail they lose everything, they will most likely never be employed, they may find themselves homeless and they will never be able to obtain an education. How is that justice?…

    Justice is a universal part of everyday life. We often think of it as an if-then scenario; if you cause trouble in school, then you don’t get recess. If you steal from somebody, then you go to jail. But the idea of justice is much more complex than that. Justice is an intricate ethical system with implications that range from the fair treatment of everyone to the equal distribution of government resources.…

    Glaucon uses Ring of Gyges as an example to demonstrate that when people can get away from the consequences of being unjust, they will probably choose to become unjust for receiving benefits while having a good reputation of being justice (Plato, Republic book 2, p53). Both Socrates and Glaucon agrees that justice is something “good”, which is good in itself, or it can bring good as a consequence or both. But what if justice itself is not good and will not bring anything good alone with them? Ring of Gyges is an extended expression of Thrasymachus’s famous claim: “Justice is simply the advantage of the stronger” (Plato, Republic book 1, p39).…

    Punishment In Corrections

    • 3 Pages

    Nearly 3,800 years ago the Code of Hammurabi was created as a guide for punishment for criminal offenders that caused harm to victims, by placing emphasis on revenge for the wronged victims. Punishment was given for the purpose of revenge and a lessened chance of retaliation from the victim to the offender, which contrasts with how punishment is given now. While punishment is still given to criminal offenders that bestow harm to victims, punishment today also includes reformation of criminal behaviors in correctional systems. The main purpose of today’s correctional systems is to reform criminal behaviors through a “process whereby practitioners from a variety of agencies and programs use tools, techniques, and facilities to engage in organized…

    It is perceived by some of the public that, when it comes to rehabilitating criminals, that nothing works (Golder et al., 2005). As it turns out, this statement could not be further from the truth. During research, I discovered a number of strategies used to rehabilitate many different criminals. For the purposes of this paper, I will focus on two strategies for which I found the most information. Both of the programs I researched have different rates of reduced recidivism, or the likelihood of an inmate returning to prison (Hall, 2015).…

    What is justice? Justice is a noun defined by Webster 's dictionary as the process or result of using laws to fairly judge and punish crime and criminals. However, an individual 's perception of justice may be different from the standard dictionary definition. For example, Dexter is an American crime drama that takes an aspect of justice as its setting and uses it to invoke the audience to contemplate the idea of justice. With this in mind, the producers of Dexter make both a idealistic and realistic claim: the ideals of modern justice are catching criminals and penalizing them for their crimes, yet because the legal system and the people who serve it are flawed, the producers seek to critique the definition of justice and who has the right to enforce justice.…

    The Funding of Rehabilitation Programs in the Federal Prison System of America and Their Effect on Prisoners Prison rehabilitation can be defined as the re-integration into society of a person who has been convicted of crime, to counter habitual offending, also known as criminal recidivism. (Rehabilitation Center., n.d.) These rehabilitation programs can take the form of educational, artistic, recreational and drug abuse programs. Many prisons in the U.S. don’t fund a substantial quality of rehabilitation programs even though they have proven to be highly effective in reintegrating prisoners to the outside world; seen through a lowered recidivism rate in those prisons that have implemented them.…
