What we need to see—if we are to understand violence and prevent it—is that human agency or action is not only individual; it is also, unavoidably, familial, societal, and institutional” (7). Both of these types of violence stand in contrast to morality plays which seem to correspond to an idealized form of axiological judgment underwriting the juridical system. In “the mode of discourse of the criminal legal process in the courtroom, only two questions about violence are admissible: how to distinguish the innocent from the guilty…and the guilty from the criminally insane” (6). The first question corresponds to that of the morality plays, which “reduce the question [of violence] to that of ‘innocence’ versus ‘guilt’” (8). The second juridical question, of rationality, describes, at the level of non-human forces being embodied or personified through human actors, the irrational and inexplicable violence of pathos.
1. The impact of the opening sentence make the essay feel hostile. Brent Staples uses the term "victim" as if he was some rapist or violent person. The meaning of the sentence and term change by explaining why the woman felt that way using background knowledge of previous times. 2.
How have the texts you have studied explored ideas about change? To be blamed for all manner of trouble? To be seared in the flames of withering injustice... Craig Silvey's Jasper Jones and Martin Luther King's I have a dream conjointly take their reader into the changing world of righteousness.

Relativism and Morality Introduction In “Some Moral Minima” Lenn Goodman talked about terrorism, murder, rape, slavery, genocide, polygamy, and incest. The subjects he talked about could be looked upon differently and judged differently by an individual. Within this report I am going to explain why I agree with lenn Goodman I will explain why it’s not good to quickly judge individual just because we barley understand them but to judge those that are not morally right. I feel our experiences can be explained in terms of our background and moral beliefs, as well as our immediate experience of emotions of others. * Background and moral beliefs * Immediate experiences with others Background and moral beliefs and immediate Experiences of others Everyone seems to have their own opinion on what’s good or bad, right or wrong I feel most of it comes from persons past experiences, and how they were raised in our society in which we live.
Media Violence Lisa Larkin HUM/111 March 10, 2012 Joline Huren The topic I have chosen is media violence. Media violence, as expressed in the two articles provided, tell me this is an issue. According to our text, Ruggiero (2009), an issue is identified when it divides informed and intelligent people.

On the other hand, the gospel teaches about being non resistance, and therefore,Christians should not practice self defense. According the commandments, Christians are taught how to defend their neighbor and should use force and even weapons if necessary.This opened a chance for the military to defend the Roman Empire by using force and torture. The pacifists also interrupted the nonresistance, and they rejected non violence and civil disobedience. “If one is struck on the right cheek, turn on the other” (Matt. 5:39).
What do you hope the reader takes away from this argument? A better understanding of what contributed to gun violence. 2) What did you learn from completing this assignment? I learned that you must take both points of view into consideration. Did you experience a new understanding of the topic?
