3. What Does It Means To Grown-Up

Examples of Injustice can first be found in the area of Family Law. Document C law #195, “ If a son has struck his father his hands should be cut off.” This is unjust because the punishment is much to severe. There should be a punishment but not to cut off the kids hands because then he would be worthless to society for the rest of his life. Document C law #129 If a married woman were to be caught with another man, then they would be wrapped together and casted into the water to die. Once again this is unjust because the punishment is much to severe. I agree that there should be a punishment but not one so large as death if it was the first time they did it.

Despite what the dictionary says, there are many definitions of the word justice based on the world’s opinions. The opinions then depend on the situation at hand. There is the discussion of justice for the person who has been hurt, for the person who has conceived a crime, and even for those who have committed an accident. In the end, justice is intended to establish an equal solution for any circumstance. Every person in society deserves to be punished equally for the crimes they have committed to ensure justice is served.

One man’s definition of justice may not resemble what others believe. It has been shown throughout the history of the United States that justice is a flexible term. When the colonist came over to America they believed they were just in conquering the Native Americans, however, the Native Americans believed they too were just when they fought back against the colonist, killing their women and children. The African slaves rose up and fought for the rights that were stripped away by the colonist, yet the Colonist believed that since the slaves did not believe in their God this behavior is acceptable. In the short story, “Cruelty the Human Heart”, the author O’Neil De Noux reveals to us Nathan Grey’s distorted view of justice; showing

Throughout history and still to this day, the topic of justice has been the object of dispute. Justice has been defined as fair treatment and lawfulness. How is injustice, therefore, defined? The Letter From the Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr., portrays what injustice meant towards the African American people living in the South. This letter is concerning his defense of the protests he was involved in, and the acts of nonviolent resistance towards racism. This letter argued that people, who were subjected to being treated unjustly, had a moral responsibility to act out against it. Injustice has been defined as lack of justice, or inequity. I disagree with how injustice is defined because injustice is not based on a textbook definition;

Growing up: change; coming of age; becoming more mature. All throughout life most people desire to grow up and become more of age so they can explore and do the actions they want, and be on a higher level. At the same time they do not want to take on all of the responsibilities, they just want to be independent. Although, typically, growing up can be a choice that some make and some do not. In the First Part Last by Angela Johnson, Bobby made a mistake which caused him to not have a choice; he had a baby in High School, which resulted in him having to become independent quickly, and come of age.

In American society, justice is blind. Justice is commonly defined as a rightful or lawful act. Or in other terms to bring to justice, to come before a court for trial or to receive punishment for one’s misdeeds. Some believe it is fairly administered and equal. But lack within the criminal justice system make us question equality. There are two individual aspects of how justice can be served; the perspective of the victim and the perspective of the criminal "per say". I will be focusing on instances in which wrongfully people were punished for crimes they didn 't commit and families or victims thought justice was served. The first case in which justice was wrongfully served is the case of Louis Taylor. Louis Taylor did forty-one years to life for something he didn 't do. Secondly, Steven Avery served eighteen years for being wrongfully convicted for rape. Although in Avery 's case he was exonerated through DNA testing.

The true concept of justice is a concept involving moral, fair, and impartial treatment of all individuals. Justice is a concept that has many different translations and a concept that can be changed on a case-by-case basis. Justice, as it pertains to law enforcement, is an example of the many faces of justice and how it can be subjective. Conceptually, justice is synonymous with law enforcement. Within this profession, justice can be defined as the ability to treat perpetrators and all individuals encountered, while on the job, with the highest quality of fairness.

When I first read this assignment, I wasn’t sure how to start. What is justice seems like a straightforward question but I found trying to answer it wasn’t. Justice might be better thought of as a general statement in this case “a theory about how best to allocate the benefits and burdens of society among its individuals” (Hinman, pg. 362). This definition has a lot of words but really doesn’t put it in terms what we can identify with today. When someone thinks of justice, they look at how they are treated. Justice can also be thought of as “fairness that refers to the treatment of a person regardless of race, gender, age, or social or economic differences” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 17).

The Constitution of the United States of America defines justice as equality of all. Justice has been interpreted by philosophers and politicians for centuries, but each definition centers on the concepts of fairness, consequences for wrongdoing, and upholding a precedent; all of which drive me to to follow a career in law enforcement.

Next we should contemplate the question of who is to decide what actions are just vs. unjust. In today's society the most significant proponent of justice would be our criminal justice system. This system produces just as much justice as it does injustice. Many people would argue with about this point. We are supposed to trust the people and the system we have chosen to represent our society. They are responsible for keeping society safe and for punishing those who do harm. Yet in recent years we

Justice is separated into two different categories: individual justice in relation to other humans and the government, and governmental justice in relation to its populace. It is crucial to note that fairness is treating each individual consistently and equally as the next; whereas, justice is

Life has made us have many struggles when we become an adult and many people can't handle the stress when it comes to being and growing up as an adult. Here are some examples of our the struggles face:

What does it mean to be an adult? Does accountability make a person an adult? Does learning and improving on past experiences make someone an adult? Will caring for one’s self make somebody an adult? These are all small pieces to the puzzle but there is more to an adult then being a self-reliant, hardworking individual that pays their bills on time. In my opinion, you can be sixteen years old and be classified as an adult or twenty eight years old and not be an adult. Being an adult means that you are responsible, mature, and independent.

When asked the question “When do you become an adult?” many people would give an age but in reality the answer isn’t that easy. To me adulthood is when you are able and willing to accept responsibility. If you cannot or will not be responsible, you have no right calling yourself an adult. What does make you a grown-up? Is it moving out of the house? Hitting a certain age? Having a relationship? Getting a job?” How is it that we can do. those things, that we consider to be “adult”, but we still feel like kids? Or that we feel like grown-ups, we're certainly old enough, but we haven't. seemed to have accomplished any of those things “grown-ups” have done? People never seem to quite understand the meaning of being an adult.” It has always seemed to me that age is irrelevant. You can be 12 and understand things better than a 30-year-old or you can be 40, have two PhD’s and still wonder if pigeons are migratory birds”.” Many people my age think that getting out of
