    Plato’s Position on Justice in Comparison to Dante and Machiavelli Plato asserts his position on justice throughout “The Republic.” His views constitute a model for how society should behave based on the values presented by Socrates in the dialogue. From Plato’s teachings we can infer that to establish justice, we must establish several principles in our lives including proper education, moderation, and courage. Although Plato describes how to live a just life through the metaphorical creation of a city, as opposed to focusing on the individual or going about the concept in a more abstract manner, he also asserts that justice is the quality of the soul, and a soul can only be pure if temptations are ignored. Socrates concludes that education and obedience are parallels.…

    After reading chapter one from our reading, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, one of the Hmong customs that stood out to me the most was the sacrifice of an animal to cure infertility. I thought this was interesting because of the believe that you have to kill a living thing in order to give life to something else. Another one of the customs that stood out to me was the burial of the placenta, it stood out to me because there was a difference on the treatment of a boy’s placenta and a girl’s placenta. They believed that the placenta belonging to a male had greater honor, therefore was buried under a home in which the male spirit would look after it and create a strong home. A third custom that stood out to me was the hu plig ceremony…

So Jonathan is trying to say that when this world has people who are sinners, it will lead to consequences. Even though God does not like sinners, God said “ God’s hand can hold you up” to show that even though humans are of a sinful nature, they can fix it.…

The piece was distributed anonymously, so the credibility of the author’s work cannot lie with reputation, but with literary talent.
