The dehumanization of another group allows unthinkable crimes to be committed; neither party is benefited by this separation. The Rational Optimist explains the gains of working together while, The Grapes of Wrath and District 9 show us that the dehumanization of others only hinders progress and hurts those involved. This human defense mechanism against the unknown is born from fear and breeds evil. We must turn away from it, reap the benefits of working together, and allow progress to unfold before
S/he is generally in a position to reward and/or punish the victim, based on whether or not the offensive behavior is tolerated or granted. This is especially true in a quid pro quo situation. Quid pro quo, in terms of sexual harassment, takes place whenan individual receives a benefit, or avoids punishment, in exchange for submitting to inappropriate behavior of a sexual nature (Stier, 2005). Some actions that constitute sexual harassment are: sexist remarks about a person's clothing, body, or sexual activities; unnecessary touching, patting, pinching, or cornering; visual harassment (i.e., leering at or ogling an individual's body); displaying signs, posters and photos of an objectionable nature; demanding
The actus reus is that the victim must suffer actual bodily harm as a result of the battery. In this case Ken has broken his nose as the result of Toby’s punches. The mens rea is intentionally or recklessly inflicting unlawful force on the victim. Even if Toby did not intend actual bodily harm or foresaw a risk that his act might cause actual bodily harm, it would still satisfy the mens rea as S47 is a constructive offence. In this case Toby has been reckless and it seems that he also intended to cause the harm because he was angry.
The labelling theory consists of the fact that external people for example higher middle class or forms of authority, labels other members in society as being criminals or being deviant. The labelling theory works like this: a form of authority or even common people instinctively have a stereotype or put certain members of society into certain categories therefore labelling people as being criminals or having deviant behaviour and therefore this makes the members of society being labelled, commit to a self fulfilling prophecy whereby they end up acting out what they have been pre-judged as. Interpretivists accept this concept is highly useful and valid as it is qualitative. However, positivists believe it is low in reliability and usefulness as data is not numerical and cannot be compared, or even that there is no data at all. Being a criminal or deviant could be seen to be a social construct and therefore this may mean that you could question what criminal activity is and whether this social construct is even right since it has been constructed by members of the society.
According to Aaron (2007) in the The Little, Brown Compact Handbook, the word “plagiarism” is derived from a Latin word meaning to kidnap or to abduct (p. 424). Plagiarism is stealing someone else’s work and passing it off as one’s own. In many other cultures, plagiarizing is encouraged because it demonstrates familiarity and respect for the work of noted writers. However, in the United States and at Columbia Southern University, plagiarism is considered fraud and can have serious consequences. Plagiarism usually comes in two forms: intentional and unintentional.
It can also be defined as Altruism. Whereas, Fiske (2004) describes Anti-social behaviour as: “any behaviour whose proximate intention is to harm another person”. Anti-social behaviour is usually linked to a type of aggression. In society, Instrumental, Pro-social and sanctioned aggression is seen to be right. This is because it is either a means to an end, to prevent further aggressive behaviour or is permitted/ excused.
In conclusion, it is extremely transparent that Tom is a more corrupt character compared to Jay Gatsby. His dishonesty, jealousy and lack of moral values exemplify his corruptness. In comparison to Gatsby, we see many similar traits and actions between these two characters with vastly different consequences. Gatsby’s motivations are pure when seeking his true love while Tom’s motivations are malicious and intend to hurt others. Cited Work Fitzgerald, F. Scott, and Matthew J. Bruccoli.
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. Gilligan’s interest is not so much in railing against the injustice of it all (pathos) or locating agents of violence in a teleology of punishment (morality play), but intervening in the tragic drama, where the connections between people are the precondition for the violence between them—but these connections also allow for an alternative ending to the story, in which connections allows for the aversion or tragedy and
With another case of his well thought out pathos, he described the sinister nature of the deal. Romans despised sneakiness and it was considered an extremely evil act to conspire in secret with others. So, Caesar exploited the perceptions of the time and gave himself a valid reason to attack the
Also from these examples, we can see how an increase in power can lead to unethical behavior. It is unethical in the sense that when one gains this power or control, he/she feels that he/she has earned the right or authority to do so with total disregard for human rights. Ultimately, authority with total control destroys the honesty of what is right and wrong completely. To be human is to make mistakes but if a society is modeled after the leadership of a human with supreme authority, corruption is bound to occur. References Kiernan, B.
