Legal Defense Justification and excuse is the two forms of legal defense. Justification is when the defendant admits to committing the act in question but claims it was necessary in order to avoid some greater evil. Whereas, excuse is when a defendant claims some personal condition or circumstance at the time of the act was such that he or she should not be held accountable under the criminal law (Schmalleger, Hall,
But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.” Violence only causes bitterness and hatred, I believe our society cannot survive this. I have never been one to use violence to get my point across it seems useless and morally wrong to me. Violence gets you nowhere. I do know some people that that is their only way to deal with problems and that seems to get them nothing positive. I believe King is right when he states “An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind”.

There is no easy answer as to why mankind in this time is so inclined to conquer and violate. I don’t think that anyone will ever understand why humans and societies began to hate each other so. It is a broad statement, and there are societies that are at a sort of isolated peace and have no grudges with other countries, but more often than not the case is the opposite. We fight over money, land, and race. Land will always be the same land, yet leaders battle over ownership of it.
The Great War was a pivotal moment where the idea of male virility was questioned. Changing societies and cultures affect the meaning of what defines a man. During the war, the warrior image of man was viewed as the ideal. This ideal placed pressure on males in which a man must meet certain criteria in order to claim his manhood. It is for this reason that the Great War was seen as an opportunity by men, where they could prove their virility by displaying warrior traits of aggression, endurance and camaraderie, defying all aspects that were associated with that of female qualities.
Okonkwo plays a big role in the story because of how his character fits on Things Fall Apart. It is crazy how he treat people differently, he will beat up his wives and children yet he has a soft spot towards Ekwefi and Enzima. This makes me think that Okonkwo choose his moments to act manly or choose people to beat up, and he is always more aggressive to his family members than outside people. Okonkwo showed that he has no sympathy when he killed Ikemefuna, who helped Okonkwo a lot in his life, and yet he decided to kill him even though Ikemefuna was really close to him. Okonkwo does not care if you are part of his life or not, if you do not satisfy him he will do damage to you.
Justification is an offender admits that he or she has done the crime they are charged with but did the crime because it would avoid a greater crime or evil. Excuses are when an offender claims
Another example of why showing wartime violence is bad would have to be videos ISIS takes of themselves killing other people. To many it doesn't matter who they killed, just that they killed someone and it was caught on camera. Those videos make it to the news channels and the news channels get it to the whole world which then erupts a panic in the world. People begin freaking out on who the person being killed is or who he was. Wartime violence can never be a good thing because it causes panic and more lives lost in some
Sometimes you just cant help it when a gun goes off. People kill people with guns on daily basics out of anger or revenge. I can say I had about two people in my family die because of a gun. It is one of the worst things knowing that someone had that much anger not to talk it out a problem they wanted them dead. It is really not something you want to play around with.
If a military expert or the president is questioned, he might think wars are good because they can boast about military efficiency. People go to war to prove a point or to fight for one’s country. In the war for independence, the colonists fought for freedom from Great Britain. There were many people who died or were injured, but they all risked their lives for an ideal, the essence of freedom. However, there are others who go to war for greed and power.
