Retributive justice

The great philosopher Socrates is all about teaching and growing as a student, thus he has a lot to teach. In everything he does he has a lesson that can be learned. Some of the things Socrates touches on include: the four virtues, the natural formation of classes, as well as when education begins In Gary Alan Scott’s book, “Plato’s Socrates as Educator” Scott states, “Teaching produces as total increase in knowledge since the knowledge spreads from one to two or more persons. The teacher must…

the students. Students of color were far more targeted than white students when it came to disruptances or problems or even had a heavier consequence. In the article of “Tracing the School-to-Prison Pipeline from Zero-Tolerance Policies to Juvenile Justice Dispositions” Aaron Curtis explains, “A zero-tolerance policy mandates predetermined consequences or punishments for specific offenses” (Curtis,1225). These punishments schools impose for the specific offenses students make are harsh and most…

The Water Company in Saudi Arabia One of the biggest issue in Saudi society nowadays is that The Water company changed the price for water service which affected all customers who had late payment. The customers were obliged to pay the new charge. The CEO of the water company, Abdullah Alhoseen, said that it was the customers’ fault.

embraced such a record, his hypothesis of equity would be liable to reactions which he holds are fatal to the contractarian theory of justice. While forming a hypothesis to stay within moral requirements once in a while damages the ordinances of logical speculating, Plato stays away from this mistake. Contractarian account is the first serious account of justice Plato considers in the Republic. It is stated that it is dependably instrumentally reasonable for one to further their own particular…

money was not what was important to me. I wanted to help people. I had gotten so caught up in the greed around me that I forgot who I was. On a whim, I called the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) and changed my major to Criminal Justice. I decided to pursue a career in Victim Advocacy and fight for the people that could not fight for…

unsatisfied with the argument between Thrasymachus and Socrates regarding Justice. Thrasymachus believes Justice is for the common good, it is not for the good for an individual, that any compromise is involved. Glaucon renews Thrasymachus’ argument, he divides the good into three classes: things good in themselves, things good both in themselves and for their consequences, and things good only for their consequences. Socrates places justice in the class of things good in themselves and for…

when we speak of ‘justice’? How is the word ‘justice’ even defined? For countless generations, prominent philosophers and average citizens alike have contemplated the social, spiritual, and moral implications of justice and what being ‘just’ entails. Some of the most notable thinkers and contributors to this age-old debate are no other than Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, and Thomas More, the 16th century English philosopher. Both philosophers discuss and ponder justice in their…

John Rawls was an American political rationalist in the liberal convention. His hypothesis of equity as reasonableness imagines a general public of free residents holding measure up to essential rights participating inside a populist monetary framework. His record of political radicalism addresses the true blue utilization of political power in a popular government, intending to show how persevering solidarity might be accomplished in spite of the differing qualities of perspectives that free…

Is it just to break an unjust law? It is just to break an unjust law if it is morally wrong. Doing it in your own belief demonstrates the power behind the act to break an unjust law. Laws that may be appealing to the government might not be appealing to people who oppose them. Doing what's morally right is better than following an unjust law. Standing up to unjust laws shows moxie. I support breaking an unjust law because it takes real guts to actually do it. Three examples of this can be…

three ‘challenges from the right’ aimed at Rawls’ theory of justice and discussing whether they succeed or not. Those from the ‘right’ are advocates of ensuring that freedom and liberty are maximized in society. Rawls’s theory of justice has been met by many challenges, especially from the philosopher Nozick. A large portion of Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, The State and Utopia is dedicated to refuting John Rawls’s theories pertaining to justice. Rawls was of the opinion that economic inequalities…
