Sabella Definition Of Justice Essay

Justice is a dreadful topic to deal with, but that is because it is hard to explain. Not everyone understands that it does not have to be brought by a superhero or a judge, that it can be brought to someone by themselves. Sabella Roa understands that there are many ways to receive and offer justice as long as the receiver lets it in. This means that there is not only a way for the victim to have justice, but the guilty party as well. Because when a justice is offered not everyone takes it, sadly not everyone deserves it either. The consequences of justice can be just as grave as the cause of it. When justice is offered some are not ready to receive it letting the deal fall through and it never becoming available again.
Justice is not available to everyone. It is a cold and sad piece of life. For all the follies committed against people in the world there is no way that every person can have justice brought to them. Sabella understands that because her character has been through that. Due to Sabella’s abilities she has been ridiculed all her life. While in the dictionary meaning of crime this does not comply, it is to her. When people think of justice they think of that for a crime, such as a murder, or abuse. Sabella has put up with

It is common in human nature for people to spend almost their entire lives in search for one thing or another, whether it is love, money or a loved one that has been separated.

Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of who will step forward and make changes to the court system.

    In his book Just Mercy, author Brian Stevenson details many of the failures of justice that he has personally witnessed in his long career as a public interest attorney. Mr. Stephenson relays each case as a personal story. As a reader, I found myself sympathizing with many of the people Brian Stevenson worked to defend. I found myself shocked by how poor and underprivileged people were so often treated horribly coldheartedly by our justice system. Before I had believed our justice system to at least be fair and impartial.…

    Justice, in its most basic sense, is defined as the administering of a deserved punishment or reward, but justice itself is far from basic. Who is to decide what is just, and how are those who decide what is just to punish their perceived wrong? It is only through the pursuit of justice that an individual can come to clearly see what is right, and find his or her sought after reward or punishment. In Till we Have Faces by C.S. Lewis, Orual’s pursuit of justice and its eventual resolution play a significant role in the book and her development as a character, while showing us how she views justice itself. Throughout the novel, Orual’s idea of justice is rather self-centered, and largely motivated by anger.…

    In Bryan Stevenson’s memoir, he explains how “the power of mercy…belongs to the undeserving. It’s when mercy is least expected that it’s most potent – strong enough to break the cycle of victimization and victimhood, retribution and suffering” (294). However, Stevenson isn’t just talking about mercy. Mercy plays a part with other prominent aspects of the book, most relating to problems in the justice system. These faults are what led Walter McMillian being put on death row for a crime he did not commit, which is the main storyline of the memoir.…

    Respected writer, Friedrich Durrenmatt, in his play The Visit, shows how power and wealth affects all aspects of life. Durrenmatt 's purpose is to raise the question of whether it is possible and morally right to buy justice, and if murder and personal revenge can constitute this justice and also the difference between what is justice and what is revenge.
