Essay / justice - 636
Others generally define justice as moral righteousness. Also commonly referred to as the act of directing deserved punishment or incentive toward those who deserve or deserve it. When most think of justice, they think of what is right. Justice is seen as being fairly punished. The wrongdoer knows the law, and by disobeying the law he will be punished, which creates justice. Justice is about being fair, but it must also be equal. They are two different things. To follow the rules and to be without prejudice is to be fair. Even if it's against the rules, should it be considered fair if someone gets shot and can't return fire, or should they be allowed to return fire to make the shot equal? Unless you are a police officer, fighting back is not a morally right thing to do. Would this be considered justice since it is an equal punishment? There is, however, a problem with the morally correct and deserved definition. How do we know if something is morally right and deserved? Morality is defined mainly from religion. What one considers morally right may not be right for someone else. It is impossible to define what is morally correct. So how can justice be measured by morality? Justice cannot be done morally correctly. Merit has the same difficulty. There is no definition because everyone sees differently what is deserved. We all think differently and believe different things. Some believe that death row inmates should be tortured instead of given a lethal injection, while others may completely disagree. Some may think there should be no limits to self-defense, while others think there should be limits. All this shows that justice cannot be expected to be a deserved punishment or reward. Today in the United States, ...... in the middle of a newspaper ...... prepared them in advance, death row is the most a person can get. He cannot be raped if he has raped. He can't be beaten if he beats. He can't die slowly if he is killed slowly. The murderer will remain on death row until the day he receives a lethal injection. For our government, it is justice. Although his sufferings are far from comparable to those he inflicted on his victims, they are morally correct and deserved. In the eyes of the courts, his price will have been paid and this is considered justice. So, is justice really being done? Morally correct and deserved are defined in themselves, so justice cannot be defined by these things. Arriving at a verdict is simply a question of fairness, not the type of punishment to receive. Our justice systems, however, remain based on what is morally correct and deserved. True justice is equal punishment for crimes committed. Justice should be equal.
