John Williams The criminal justice system has so many areas that interest me. The area that interests me the most is homicide. The reason being is because growing up I use to watch TV shows such as the first 48, Law and Order, and New York City Undercover. These TV shows showed how the criminal justice system works.

By law, the age of 18 gives you a lot of privileges which means they define them as an adult. Compare to a teenager, adults are expected to depend on themselves while teenagers depend on their parents. Adults are expected to be responsible for their actions. Teenagers should also be responsible for their actions, shouldn't they? People should not treat teenagers as kids. Teenagers should know that committing a crime is wrong. The Justice Department says that about 10 percent of all homicides are
These couple definitions that are mentioned in Beck’s book made me think a little bit deeper into this kind of problem. My example was just simple, easy understaning problem that most of the kids in my high school faced with. But, what if I for example, raise a question like: why did 9/11th happened?

What really resonates with me about St. Ignatius is that he sets an example that anyone can truly make something of himself or herself. Today, if you were to look at his actions in his early-life, he would be described as a troublesome being. Although he might of started off a little rough in life, he turned himself around and became notable figure. Not only is he forever in our textbooks, but he has assisted in conveying to the world the importance of education. Not that he taught spiritual education
Examples of Justice #1 Justice, as defined by the Webster dictionary is just behavior or treatment, or the quality of being just, impartial, or fair. Everyone has their own idea of justice and what it truly means, so it’s rather difficult to come up with a universal definition of “justice” and whether it is being accomplished within the criminal justice system today.

Socrates emphasizes the importance of truthfulness and justice in governmental systems and Machiavelli focuses on having a determined ruler than can lead the state into success. Both men lived during a time of uncertainty and instability, desiring to change their society for the better.

There are many concepts of justice explained and shown throughout the book Antigone I decided to choose the concept of procedural justice which means having equal justice for everyone. This concept of justice is related to Antigone by the brothers of Antigone were not given fair treatment by their father Kreon.

Many people try to define and consider different definitions of what happiness is, and I think that Plato and Aristotle offer interesting views of happiness and what it means for one to live a good life. Both philosophers agree that happiness is an important factor in one’s life and essentially the essence of how to live a good life. Plato offers many theories and definitions of justice leading to happiness, while Aristotle argues that happiness is the main goal that all humans aim for in their entire
surprise that I should find you here in the agora. Socrates: Of course I am, Acacius. What brings you here? Acacius: I am tired of the politicians not being just towards the citizens.
