Justification

wrote the Court’s decision. The majority chose their decision based on one out of three justifications. The Court felt that Victorian social concerns and the protection of women 's health were irrelevant because of modern general roles and medical technology. This conclusion was reached after researching history about Ancient Greece’s abortion laws and comparing them to America’s current law. The one justification the Court used was, “that prenatal life was not within the definition of ‘persons’…

The second type of accounts I have chosen to talk about is justification. Justification is when an individual accepts full responsibility for the act in question but they disapprove of the quality associated with the act. The type of justification I would like to focus on is denial of victim. The denial of victim is when an individual performs an act and believes it was permissible since the victim deserved the outcome. There are categories of persons that are perceived to deserve injury, and…

War is one of the oldest traditions in human history that costs millions of innocent lives and destroys families across the globe. There must be a logical explanation for such a barbaric act; the justification for war must lie in human nature. War can stem from power, money, greed, justice, and these reasons have been justified in the past as being in the best interest of the group as a whole. Especially in the case of defending basic human rights, people are often persuaded to participate in…

dialogues, had not believed in the ‘law of retaliation’; he did not consider it to be just to break a law even if the reason for doing so was because he was initially wronged. This reasoning can be disputed by saying that a citizen could have justification for civil disobedience if the law was unjust to begin with. Socrates, taking on the personification as the Laws could reply to this objection by stating that a citizen is free to leave the country if their moral beliefs (moral relativism)…

Previously, the common belief relating to knowledge was that it is a defined justified true belief. However in the era of exponential discoveries, knowledge is perceived as something that can be reviewed and revisioned over time. The vast discoveries of our yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows have led humanity to define knowledge,and all we gain from it, as an objective fact, that can be supported or denied by progression. This progression may be, but not limited to: evidence, discoveries,…

For hundreds of years America had went to war for many reasons. Some reasons are for land, to gain businesses, and to have a more power. However for all of these reasons it always comes with a downfall. Such as the spending billions of dollars on a war, when this money could've went to some unfortunate kids education. War is never justified because it leads to many innocent people being killed or hurt in both physical and mental ways and war forces people to be involved in a war, when they do…

Research Justification Globally, 27 million humans of both genders and a range of ages are enslaved (Adams, 2014). In the US, 17,500 humans are brought in each year “as victims of human trafficking” (Human Trafficking Ed., n.d.). Sadly, this number is actually estimated to be higher at 60,000 per year in the US (Human Trafficking Ed., n.d.). The Wake County sector of The Salvation Army points out that while drugs can be sold once, humans can be sold repeatedly (Adams, 2014). Not only does…

Sykes and Matza assert that these justifications are rationalizations that protect delinquents from self-blame and the blame of others after they have committed a delinquent act. But they also suggest that these rationalizations could precede criminal acts. They went on to divide these justifications of deviant behavior, which they called techniques of neutralization, into five major types: 1. The denial of responsibility: The delinquent claims his actions were accidental or that some other…

been discussed throughout history and english classes for decades. Students learn about the types of camps, stories of people who lived through the horrors, and many more horrific details of this tragic time period. A less discussed topic is the justification of these cruel events. Why did they pick the Jewish people, how could they do such inhumane things to innocent people, but just generally, how did the human race allow this to happen? Why were Jewish people chosen to be the scapegoat for…

I will argue that through the justification of memory, trust in others and testimony can also be justified. If we can logically defend believing in our own memories, the we should find the justification of the accounts of others along the way. The main points I will discuss will be the “dualistic theory”, the Reductionist Theory(RT), and other viewpoints from a more personal perspective. The “dualistic theory” helps to provide a degree of justification for the original belief and the act of…
