When assessing why gun-decking happens, I immediately thought of utilitarianism. A utilitarian believes that the right thing to do is always the choice that yields the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Utility focuses on only the outcomes of an action and not any intentions. I believe that gun-decking can happen in the fleet because it is easy to look at the outcomes of intentionally cutting corners and justify why you would do that. For example, in the case above the chief is trying to create the most pleasure for the most people by signing off the uncompleted maintenance jobs.
After serving for big numbers of years in the navy he thought he knows all by heart, and he did not need to follow the saturation and the rules as he book says.

Douglass wrote a good book, and was a true story. That means that he did not exaggerate his best qualities to make himself look better. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, and Douglass’ life afterwards, shows that one man can make a difference. In fact, his book probably changed the life of any person that read the book when one would release, with slavery still in abundance. Had every man, woman, and child in the United States read the book when the book was published, things certainly could have been different.
In both stories, the black characters are already prejudged by the white people they come across. The people who are targeted by the racism will overcome and continue to live their lives. The stories happen in different parts of the world, but the mindset of discrimination was the same everywhere at that particular time in history. Wright writes about Jim, a merchant sailor. Olaf was a merchant sailor just like Jim when he was younger; the only problem with Olaf was the color of his skin and his intimidating size.
Athens was a direct democracy and many of these ways are still used today. A direct democracy meant that the citizens could vote on the issues directly and that the citizens hold the power. The citizens consisted of any man born in Athens. The non-citizens were women, foreign-born males, and slaves. All of the citizens could belong to the Assembly, and they voted by lottery because they thought election favored the rich, and they wanted it to be equal.
In particular, judicial review, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and the right of association. Judicial review is extremely important in democracy, described as, “the most dynamic expression of the people’s rule, is also the most efficient means of teaching them how to rule.” A jury, while a political institution, will teach all men to respect the court’s decisions, and the concept of justice, and to take these two concepts away is to take away the love of independence. Tocqueville also says that a jury will teach all to think like judges, and this is the best way of thinking to prepare people for
Offenders were not allowed to leave the community territory but they were still allowed to work on their own land, trying to redeem themselves with their efforts. They were given every opportunity by the community for redemption. Everyone within the Celtic society had an ‘honour’ price related to their material wealth, which was used to decide compensations for crimes committed. After Roman invasion harsher penalties were introduced, although local governments and communities could still regulated their own laws as long as there was no conflict with the laws of Rome. Serious crimes involving potential death penalties or slavery in the mines were tried by the Governor, who would deal with any cases involving Roman citizens.

This had three major effects: a permanent system of circuit courts presided over by wandering justices, the jury system, and a body of law common to all England.1 The wandering justices would travel from place to place, and when they weren’t in town a representative from the town would be elected by the people to step up and be judge. Also Henry II established the Assize of Clarendon, the document that created the jury system.2 While both the judge and jury typically were educated men, these forward thinking ideas still gave the common man the feeling that he was participating in government more than the common man had before. The Magna Carta was the pinnacle of democratic reform of its time. The Magna Carta, developed by Archbishop of Langton, established that the king should remain under the common law, and separate from the domain of the people.3 This engendered a dramatic decrease in the power of the king. Along with the decrease of the power of the king there was an increase in the power of the people.
Parts of the medieval court system which are still used in our American court system today Open-door policy The notion that our system is better because law and order happens behind closed doors especially needs to be challenged,There is a real downside to keeping those who are punished out of the public eye—we often have no idea how they are being treated most medieval communities lacking any proper policing, crime prevention was trusted in the hands of the village common-folk. There was no reason—or means—for punishment to be any different, say experts. "Punishments therefore had to be simple and generally seen to be fair," according to the online exhibitions of the United Kingdom's National Archives. "Fierce, physical mutilation common in earlier periods, was now rarely used. "Though murderers were often executed, the majority of lesser medieval offenses were punished by shaming the criminal publicly, according to Carrel.
