Furthermore, when Tom Robinson was accused of being guilty even though he was not, and died because of it. Having a preconceived opinion of people can lead to catastrophic consequences. Such as in the cases of Atticus was defending the jail, Scout getting teased and Tom being wrongly accused. The group of men came to kill Tom but Atticus was
One should only watch if the killer acted justly or not; if he acted justly , let him go, but if not, one should prosecute, if, that is to say, the killer shares your hearth and table. The pollution is the same if you knowingly keep company with such a man and do not cleanse yourself and him by bringing him to justice.”) piety and justice still raises a question in all our mines. What is pious and what is impious? If the gods disagree and quarrel, because Euthyphro believes, then, just like human beings, they will differ over what is right or wrong unless we can prove some independent standard to test them against. Therefore, the same thing that seems right and so is pleasing to some gods, is wrong and hatful to others, and so both pious and impious.
Did you steal Amir’s watch, Hassan?’ Hassan’s reply was a single word, delivered in a thin, raspy voice, ‘Yes.’” Hassan took the blame even though he knows Amir framed him, which makes Hassan humble and highlights that Amir is immodest. Another way Hassan is the foil to Amir is on page 41, “Assef slipped on his brass knuckles…I looked in his crazy eyes and saw that he meant it. He really meant to hurt me…Hassan held the slingshot pointed directly at Assef’s face. ‘Perhaps you didn’t notice that I’m the one holding the slingshot. If you make a move, they’ll have to change your nickname to One-eyed Assef because I have this rock pointed at your left eye.” Assef is trying to beat up Amir, but Hassan acts courageous and stands up for Amir even though they are both scared.
* If anyone brings an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall, if a capital offense is charged, be put to death. * If a builder builds a house for someone, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built
Are people born good or bad? Michael Caballero Although Hobbes was right about nature of people that is evil he was wrong about government having absolute power, in the other hand Locke was right about power corrupts the people but wrong about people being born with a clean slate. For example Adolf Hitler, he was the worst because he killed a lot of innocent Jews. Hobbes thought that the world was evil because he lived during a war and saw stuff that nobody would want to see. Ayatollah Khomeini one of the 20th century's most ruthless leaders.
Throughout the law code it is stated multiple times that a woman of a man is held to different standards than a man or single woman. It can be inferred that the author of the law code is male, probably the authorities assistance or king's men, because a male would do things for their favor. This can be stated because of the constant punishment of women and not so harsh punishment for men. For example, a man is able to lay his hands on his wife and she shall do nothing in return (Code of the Assura 1.58). Many codes are repeated in different ways.
Glaspell creates more irony by using the men’s degrading remarks towards the women; for example, the county attorney makes the comment that “a sheriff’s wife is married to the law” (1344). The men assume that Mrs. Peters’ loyalty to her husband will keep her from withholding any information. What the men do not know is that she wants Mrs. Wright to be free; she has acquired a new loyalty to her gender. The time in which Trifles is set is substantial to the message shown in the play. It is set in 1916, a time
Today, we imprison people for their wrongful actions that have to be looked over through court hearings rather than give them the same punishment and torture them. To me, these clauses are full of humiliation. For example, cut a boys hand off striking his father? Why? So that the whole world will know what he did during his moment of anger or whatever the case may be?
In due course, we see the conflict increase to the point that one man feels his only alternative is armed retaliation against the other. The conflict begins as Daniel responds to a locksmith call at Farhad’s shop. Daniel replaces a broken lock on the shop’s back door, but tries to explain to Farhad that the door itself is the problem, not the lock. Farhad’s English is not fluent, and he does not understand Daniel to begin with, but decides after interpreting Daniel’s warning about the lock that Daniel is trying to cheat him. The encounter becomes a heated argument as Farhad refuses to pay for a door not fixed while Daniel explains that he only fixes locks, not doors.
These punishments which are defined by Hammurabi were very strict. For instance ‘If a man has accused a man and has charged him with manslaughter and then has not proved [it against] him, his accuser shall be put to death.’ and ‘If a man has committed robbery and is caught, that man shall be put to death.’ In my point of view this is wrong approach to criminal. Because a man who kill someone and other man who stole something are not the same. However according to Hammurabi’s Law they are punished the same technique. Secondly, Hammurabi’s Law Code draw attention to inequalities in the society.
