He explained that white men always win and cheat, so the white men are the victors but the white man is always a bad man. This shows that it can be prejudice because Tom`s story was not heard and he was accused of being guilty and so he was killed. In cases of Tom being wrongly accused, harassment by others, on Scout and Atticus defending the jail can have an opinion of people that is destructive.

The guilt that Ka’s father has about the past could never leave him alone due to all the evil deeds he had committed on innocent people. Ka’s father tries to hide his identity throughout the novel because he does not want his past to catch up with his present life.
If the creations are indeed “more human, than human” what defines our humanity? The replicants are portrayed as the violent antagonist only once compared to the humans (Tyrell) do they become admirable. While the death of Tyrell confronts the audience the close up on Roy's face shows the agony he is in. He doesn’t enjoy the killing but believes that his father must pay for his sins, pay for all the pain he has cause to him and his friends.

The article claims that efforts targeted to catch offenders are harsh, inappropriate and a waste of time. Since neither prostitutes nor the male customers run to the police to complain about the other's conduct, police must count on trickery and deceit. For example, in some cities, laws against prostitution are converting local policemen into de facto car thieves and policewomen into masquerade prostitutes.

This tragedy also made clear that we shouldn’t trust anyone, because even the most inoffensive individual could be a psychopath. However, I consider that the family went through a great deal of pain. I can’t visualize my brother, any relative or even people close to me of being a murderer. I can’t imagine the pain Ted’s mother experienced, knowing that his model son was sentenced to death after being convicted of
After reading Beowulf, it was very obvious that Grendel is an evil character and has nothing but bad in him. Throughout Beowulf Grendel is not accepted in society and not wanted on any terms, and this upsets him. Grendel is very different than those around him which make things in life difficult. He isn’t accepted because in the peoples eyes Grendel is a killer and kills out of anger and what he holds inside.

To put more emphasis on how the combined justice system and juvenile sanctions are outdated I must share with you an experience I encountered the other night. I witnessed two juveniles individuals who have been convicted of previous crimes and placed on probation shoot and kill an innocent man in cold blood. If the youth were more focused on their probation and the consequences they probably wouldn’t have been able to be to commit this serious act of violence. The juvenile delinquents didn’t heed the warnings placed before them on behalf of the courts, due to the simple fact the courts outdated system is hard to comply with or keep account of the new millennium youth these days. The two juveniles were from a small town with a population of a few thousand in which the community and environment doesn’t set any positives goals for the youth to look forward too.
