“You can never tell when you’ll need the word of God, Hulga,’ he said” (O'Connor 110). This particular quote comes from “Good Country People” written by Flannery O’Connor in 1955. At this point in the story, Manley Pointer and Hulga had just met at an embankment and begin to discuss the purpose of him bringing Bibles to their ‘meeting.’ O’Connor wants the reader to understand the connection of God and salvation among individuals in her writing due to her Catholic background. Flannery O’Connor demonstrates salvation as it is ever so present in her other short stories such as “Revelation,” “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.”…

The Attitudinal Model is a model used to help explain how Justices reach decisions. It states that a Justice will reach a decision based on their own personal views which are influenced by those of their peers and their individual background. This means that Justices pay little to no attention to things such as precedent, statutes, etc. This form of decision making is often more prominent in high-profile, controversial cases in which a direct solution to the problem at hand cannot be easily found in the Constitution or other statutes. Throughout this paper I will attempt to prove that attitudinal decision making is present throughout all cases and not just high-profile cases.…
Justice is described as a behavior or treatment, “a concern for justice, peace, and genuine respect for people.” Fredrick Douglass describes justice as the need to be equal with everyone, for black slaves to be freed and equal with their masters. Jean-Jacques Rousseau stated that justice is the way the state creates equality through keeping even strikes throughout society. Fredrick Douglass and Jean-Jacques Rousseau agreed on many points throughout their narratives about true justice and the equality of men. Fredrick Douglass’ governmental views were similar to that of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, by the very fact that they believe that governments should treat their citizens equally, even those of a different skin tone.…

In our text reading, my primary ethical principle would be the principle of Justice as Fairness (Kinicki, 2013). As Kinicki states, Justice as Fairness is “A principle that aims to protect those least able to protect themselves” (Kinicki, 2013, p. 93). In terms of advancing up the career ladder, I believe that the pros to this approach would be consistency and reliability. With Justice and Fairness, my professional colleagues, including those watching my work for possible advancement, would see that I could systematically execute processes that would protect those to whom the process served.…
