The first and obvious reason is that the book takes place in a pro-communist setting. The book may have been trying to prove a point, but it was still enough to offend many. The book is also sexually explicit, so it is easy to see why parents may want to “protect” their children from the idea of sex and that it should not be thought of in the way George Orwell writes about it. The most interesting reason for the ban of 1984 was the fact that it reminded people of what is like in the United States today. It has made people uncomfortable to think that what is being described in this chilling novel reminds them of what they see outside their own windows, with the fact that humans are constantly on watch and there is practically no way to keep anything hidden.
After you have watched CSI, you tend to think Forensic Science is easy and could possibly be a fun career. The audience doesn’t understand how far away the television show is from reality and so they then start to make conclusions about Forensic Science. Jurors in courtrooms are frequently comparing what is happening in the courtroom to shows like CSI, causing many disruptions throughout the trial. One of the most popular reasons jurors disrupt the courtroom is to point out there is not enough evidence, remembering how evidence is constantly used on CSI. The
Viewers watching this can see this seemingly made obvious feature of the play may then be able to see something similar happening in real life or relate to it. This can show them how much is actually happening in the world with people not noticing so in a sense, plays like this can be a major eye opener to how we see society. In 12 angry men there is major racism just based on the the fact that the accused comes from the slums. All the jurors in the room have this opinion except for juror 8 who thinks its possible that he didn't do it. The temperature in the room also seems to have an impact on there decisions, at the start its very hot and everyone (except juror 8) is hot, tired and judgemental.
The little evidence they had was circumstantial and was hard to believe. However, authorities along with the people did not see any issues with prosecuting fellow members of the society based on this improbable evidence. Their preconceived notions as well as the mass hysteria blinded and clouded their sound judgment leading them to make bad decisions that did not only affect them, but ruined other’s lives forever. In conclusion, Miller’s personal opinions about the McCarthy trials greatly influenced his writing of the Crucible. He saw an undeniable connection between them, two instances where in his opinion pre conceived notions of higher authorities ruined the lives of many people.
In the vigilantism cases, although we could all relate to the frustration involved for the actors, we all agree that one must stay within the bounds of the law to seek out justice. The next discussion involved civil disobedience and we found that we agreed that civil disobedience has been helpful historically to help change the laws and improve our society. However, the general consensus on civil disobedience was also that the acts of disobedience must be done in a peaceful manner for the acts to be effective. The final acts of crimes among professionals had another anonymous decision. Our team found that we did not agree with those professionals who chose to commit crimes.
Rules are what society is made of, without them people would not see themselves as in a society. Rules insure that people who think they are above or exempt from society are contained, such as if you murder someone you are arrested, for the good of society. Of course not all these rules work and are not upheld properly but overall they are made to keep society together and for the good of the people. The people who inforce them may be unjust and cruel but without societies rules these are the people that might be running things since they seek to dominate people. This is why we would have anarchy without societies rules and why they are in place.
In this aspect justice has not been achieved for other victims of sexual assault. Identity was an issue in the trial. The judges found the experiment was a miscarriage of justice. "In our view there must, regrettably, be a new trial because of this ground," the judges said. Because the judges decided that a retrial was appropriate in this situation it showed that it was not only a fair judgment but also was not bias to any side which showed that the justice system operates
Break Breaker Inc. to some extent obey with some legal rules, but failed to comply with principles of morality and community, contribute to the society by producing honest high quality services, and account the consequence of damaging their reputation. I think that Solomon’s argument is fairly accurate, but everyone’s views are different on this. Some actions may be acceptable to some but unacceptable to others. Ethics provides the bigger picture in the business life and it must be understood. In my opinion, nothing is more dangerous to a business than a bad public image caused by being unethical.
Such helpfulness was found in her -so much power to do and power to sympathize – that many people refused to interpret the scarlet ‘A’ by its original signification. They said that it meant ‘Able’” (Hawthorne 158). The reason why the “A” changes meanings is because the guilt is displayed on Hester for everyone to see. This allows Hester to ignore the negative connotations of the “A” which eventually changes its meaning. Furthermore, Hester knows that the sin she commits was wrong, but she chooses to feel no guilt for her actions.
Norm Violation The social norm that I chose to violate was to go into Wal-mart and instead of waiting in line I would cut in front of people at the self checkout. I would tell them that I had less items and asked if I could get in front of them. In normality a person will wait in line and regardless of how many items a person has it is the norm that whoever gets there first gets that spot in line. The reason I choose to violate this particular social norm was because I know how I would feel if someone did this and I was curious as to what would happen. I decided to enact my plan at wal-mart in Fort-Wayne, a different city than where I live.
