“That he was the rightful owner of his body?” he stated. They could not read or write; they were beaten to death. Mr. Douglas made a very strong point that slavery was wrong. He told us, “Must I argue that a system, thus marked with blood and stained with pollution, is wrong?” Mr. Douglas made a very strong impact on the people listening to his speech that day. He closed with this, “There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody, then are the people of these United States, at this hour….” I think independence means that you have the right to do what you would like to and fulfill your liberties.
One law, “If a man has stolen goods from a temple, or house, he shall be put to death; and he that has received the stolen property from him shall be put to death.” This teaches men not to steal. Will a man sacrifice his life for stolen goods? It is possible but highly doubted. But
That’s all Antigone was trying to show by disobeying Creon’s outrageous laws; that both boys are equal, both deserve an equal burial. While Antigone was there for the mourning and the burial of Eteocles, she wasn’t able to be there for Polyneices’ because he wasn’t allowed one. Although, it should have been allowed to have one for Polyneices. Creon is a man full of grudge who believes in having absolute power. When Antigone defies his power he sentences her to life.
DID HE HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE? In ma opinion I would say this is a grey situation meaning that it’s not black and it’s not white its in the middle, basically it’s a 2 sided case. I would start off by saying lennie had no right to act as God in taking his best friend’s life just because he made a mistake, God is the giver and taker of life so George had no right to take lennie’s life. There are many other ways in which George could have dealt with lennie for instance he could have taken lennie to the police, if he could have killed someone like a brother to him just like that then obviously he could have easily taken him 2 the police station and left him there to be taken care of. He could have easily told the police men what was wrong
I do not get why they have done this most people have said that it is because he is a black man and that in his testimony he said he felt sorry for her (Mayella.) I feel as though that what everybody is saying is true. But it shouldn’t be like that, if he isn’t guilty then he shouldn’t be convicted it is just wrong, very, very wrong. They need to sort something out now, because Tom Robinson is about to be executed for no reason, this is cruel and in humane. Can’t anybody do anything about it, we are talking about an innocent young man who is crippled about to be executed for nothing.
A thing which has never happened and has never been heard of up until this point of existence. Yet, he believes he can not bear the punishment God bestowed upon him, for he fears no longer having God’s watchful eye on him anymore, and he fears being killed by the others of the world. If he couldn’t bear the punishment because he would be forced to continue living, alone, and with the guilt of what he did, it would be reasonable for him to be unable to bear it. But that is not the way he sees his punishment. He is being removed from paradise because he himself defiled it and he fears death.
Written In Stone After reading the article “Some Moral Minima” by Lenn Goodman, I must admit that I agree that there are certain things that are flat line wrong. Living in today’s society with so many different cultures, religious and political beliefs we are bound to view some aspects of life differently. I must say however, some should never fall in that category. Genocide seeks to destroy a race, a culture even a class. Slavery allows one man to imprison another man that is his equal, to a life he doesn’t choose.
As a result of this he just got life in prison WITH a chance of parole. This is in just because it was a horrible event, he didn’t get what he deserved, and it allows others to get away with the idea of doing wrong without being fully punished. Without a doubt, you should consider this an act of injustice. To begin with, the Charles Manson case was a situation of injustice because it was a horrible event. To further explain this event, Charles Manson was a leader of a colt.
"He has dissolved Representtative Houses repeatedly..his invasions on the rights of the people" I believe this is why the 4th admendment came about because there were unlawful search and siezures that may have crippled many people's lives. "He has refused his assent to Laws..for the public good" I believe this is why the 1st amendment was created, because they king didn't do anything for the public good or for thier rights to practice whatever religion they wanted and to have free will to speak whatever was on thier mind without being punished for it. Also for the 9th amendment because that one states that the rights in the constitution should not be denied of construed. "He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the civil
I protested because the “Stand Your Ground Law” made it possible for a man to walk away from his mistake without consequence and another man isn’t even privileged to see the light of another day. You see it disgusts the very pit of me to see my time lines filled with IGNORANCE in regards to this situation. The Trayvon Martin story is much bigger than you and I. It is much darker than any shade of skin color. And my skin cringes at the very thought that half of you don’t even know what you protest for.
