People figured out that normal punishment wasn’t working for schools so they are trying something called Restorative Justice that works. Circle Justice was invented by the indians and is starting come into the schools. Circle Justice is when the teachers, community members, or other students get in a circle and talk about their feelings and why they did and how they should forget.

As seen throughout Plato’s Republic, Plato trusts that justice is important for the individuals who are just. We have likewise observed that Plato does not imagine that justice is great exclusively for its outcomes. It is additionally great in itself, an innate good. He demonstrates this by asserting that justice is a part of the happy life. In the event that the ethics were just a significance to happiness, then they may neglect to cause happiness in different conditions, and one may have the…

Despite the success of this contract, however, it is still unclear whether this agreement came about out of a genuine desire for justice, or out of a fear of unjust action. In his recordings of the thoughts and actions of Socrates, Plato attempted to answer this question of whether justice is an inner desire or a compromise made out of fear. In the Republic, the issue of justice is most thoroughly discussed in the argument…

Each individual has their own view on defining social justice, which can be influenced many possible factors (Garvin & Reisch, 2016).

cares deeply about the idea of justice. However, he and his company cannot seem to agree on a proper definition of the word. They do, however, agree on various examples of what is not just. One such example is Socrates’ statement that “human beings who have been harmed necessarily become more unjust.” However, this statement implies that the only way to be just is to do what is best for society as a whole, rather than accounting for each individual’s idea of justice. This Socratic statement…

John Rawls’ Two Principles of Justice In this essay, I argue against John Rawls’ principles of justice, as they cannot result in a fair and just society as intended and are difficult to implement. I begin by giving a general overview of Rawls and his two principles of justice. I then explain how a society governed by these principles would likely not result in a fair and just society, as many societies could not realistically function on this premise, as it is an idealistic, unrealistic…

In Republic, Plato sets out to tackle the topic of justice—the definition of it itself and how it manifests in every day life. In Book II of Republic, Socrates says that in order to understand justice in a single person, he will try to examine justice in a whole city. Though it seems unusual, his arguments—which precede Book II and carry him through to Book IV—are strengthened enough that one can conclude he is in fact, correct to understand Justice in this way. At the beginning of Book II,…

Three reasons it is important for people to stand on issues of justice in society is that people should stand up to change things that are wrong and turn them right, people represent others who can’t represent themselves, and people should be treated…

The Bureau of Justice Statistics is an important collection of data that seeks to report information about the criminal justice system. It is important in analyzing our justice system. I was interested in determining the demographics of incarcerated offenders and the results surprised me. I found that in 2014, 37% of the male prison population was black, 32% was white, and 22% was hispanic. While a 5% difference between black and white incarceration may not seem like a large discrepancy, it does…
